Not sure if his has been discussed before but I came across this video on YT last night, the first time I've seen it anyway :shock:

Akin to sports trading using BA software, ladders, human psychology, human traits and obviously automation and how one man obsessively studied the "financial markets".

yeah, read it 4 years ago and is mentioned in this thread: viewtopic.php?p=243953&hilit=flash+crash#p243953

if you are a reader, then i definitely recommend it over just watching the vid.

Watched both. I think he's a semi-fictional character, created to cover some big firms fkups and lure fresh fish into the pond ("wow, he's so rebellious, he's against the system!").
That part where his hard earned riches dissolve in offshore shouts that this is a bs.

We need some of these legends in our own drying pond, you know)).

So where is he now?

What with all the spoofing going on the Betfair exchange... :?

Also, what happened to the guys that scammed him of the £50 million?

That's my vid for tonight sorted.

I have NO experience of financials trading or know any of the rules but is it right that it's illegal to place large stakes to load the market and push the price?
