No I am not, but I am not here to flex my muscles or to gamble. If I went from $100k to $300k in 6 months you would owe $1600. Fine, let's go...
sabena: Allright, how much you want to bet now ? How about average daily profit of the loser's system? Net profit over 6 months / # of...
I have sent an inquiry to auditrack on how to get real-time or EOD reporting so everyone can view the results. I don't know what type of...
