Video Background

Convicted criminal Christopher Angus is charting a new course. Rather than a life based on international wire fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, theft by conversion, and other such racketeering related crimes he felt the world should see the other side of him.

He is kicking off a confidence series, providing free video tutorials on how to defraud investors. This twelfth video is 10:25 & was shared on May 26, 2016. The criminal who filmed these tutorial videos delivered over a 99% investment loss, as he simply stole the money and integrated it into other investment scams abroad.

Video Transcript

00:00 Christopher Angus: Hello Mr. A, hello Miss Geo. Just a quick video with what's been going on. Anyway, I have new internet. I can do uploading of videos now. I'd say that I'm probably about 95% settled. There's just a few bits and pieces that I still need to do, usually the bits and pieces of admin that you really don't wanna fucking do, like moving your car insurance and other nonsense, but it must be done. Anyway, so I'm mentally really close to being 100% here, but trading wise, I'm fine. So money's in the account, and just a very quick note, an important one, this spreadsheet will differ today 'cause I don't wanna fuck around with the spreadsheet. I don't have any time. I wanna just get on with the trading perhaps, and it'll all be adjusted tomorrow. So the spreadsheet will actually reflect a lower sum, minus 300 grand. There's what you would expect to see because I have to change figures everywhere to make the percentages work and you'll please forgive me for not doing it today.

01:01 Christopher Angus: Tomorrow, it will all be back to where it should be. And not that it's wrong today, it's just for reflecting a high balance as per the deposit. Yesterday was very, very hard. The volatility is in the fucking toilet again. Thanks a lot, guys. I managed to scalp out one tick. It was the hardest fucking tick I've had to scalp for a long time, because I bought it somewhere around here, like 16.23, and then I sold it around 8:30-8:45 for 16.33. So bought at 23, sold it at 33, and it ran against me, or it was going zero, one tick, zero, one tick. Two ticks, zero, one tick. So, and looked like it was gonna break out and eventually I just took the one tick and said, "Fuck this. Maybe I'll get something closer with the close?" But alas, no more potatoes for me that day, or you, sorry. But I'm not complaining, you know I like to whinge. I enjoy my job. Saying that, my motivation when volatility is this slow is poor, and I must apologize for that, because basically, when it's like this, I don't want to be near my computer 'cause it pisses me off and I don't wanna do work.

02:32 Christopher Angus: Because you start seeing things that aren't really there, because the movements are so small, and when the S&P is in this lock grind up, it kind of... You expect it to break down at some point, but you don't know when. And so, small movements become really magnified to you. I hope this is making sense, I'm speaking to you like you're an idiot, but you're not. But if the S&P breaks down five points, when it's been grinding really hard and hardly breaking down any, looks massive. And then you expect the VIX to pop, and then it doesn't, and you wanna take a trade and it's not easy. And, as I said, my motivation, when it's like this is not high. It's higher to go to a bar or talk to some girls or play on my Xbox or something. But I'm just telling you. I don't know why, 'cause it makes me look like a fucking lazy bastard, but whatever. So I think I've went through, it's kinda easy to lose money, because the VIX, if the VIX when it's... When the S&P is grinding like this, the VIX is just stepping down, obviously with a negative correlation to the S&P.

04:00 Christopher Angus: And there's a chance that you take, you buy the VIX, which is a safe trade, but it actually steps down and never, ever comes back to where you bought it. I've seen that happen like, 100 times. That's why my friend Chris lost money, because he... I said, "Sell the VIX." He bought the VIX, and then he kept buying the VIX, trying to average out, but it just never ever came back. So wherever he bought, it never came back and then it dropped four points and he lost a lot of money. So, whatever. But it's not... It's like I think yesterday, could have been the first day that I actually said, "I'm sorry. I've lost a tick." I think I was pretty close at one point. I thought this might be the first day when I'm apologizing. Luckily it wasn't, but when it stays like this, you can really expect perhaps that I might lose one or two ticks.

04:54 Christopher Angus: I suppose it's to be expected at this stage because I've gone quite a long time. Saying that, I pick my moments carefully, so you can see my motivation's low and I'm not trading, because I don't really see many opportunities. But I'm not losing money either, so it's kind of six, one half a dozen of the other. If I was taking a lot more trades, I'd be losing money, but I might be making more. I don't know. I like what I'm doing. I don't wanna fuck around with it. I'm really protective about what I do. VIX hedges; not gonna work out. Basically historically, I look back how they were performing against each other. About six months ago they moved about four points away from each other, in like a freak, splitting of the futures, and that would have cost about £400,000, so across all the accounts. So that's really not possible. And because you tend to hold them for long periods, you would let them let run against you quite a lot, like one maybe a point, at worst.

05:58 Christopher Angus: But if you're really trapped in a position where your a point down, and you're like down £80,000, you're inclined to wanna hold it a little bit more because you're expecting them to come back and they didn't. They got to roll over and the one expired and you just took the loss, and then you were fucked. It's not even a strategy that I wanna consider at this stage because I've just moved and I've got enough to fucking think about. Saying that, I've got a new strategy that I'm working on. It's completely autonomous. It's scalping micro amounts of money, not on the VIX, on like hundreds of different instruments, that high frequency trading strategy. I don't know why I brought it up because it's still far from any kind of seriousness, but it's running on the demo and it looks pretty good, but I have to run that for about three months, so I'll let you know.

06:49 Christopher Angus: A good thing on that is the rebate is pretty fucking high and consistent, so that's, it's pretty amazing. But it only takes one trade to wreck a strategy, so you're always looking for it. And I was thinking I might do a trade walk-through with you, just show you how the system works. I'd have to break the API, so all of the accounts weren't talking to each other. And do it small trades, say half the size, maybe on your small account. And then, maybe not, 'cause I'd be forcing a trade, might lose money. No. Rubbish idea. Sorry about that. I'm full of fucking shit ideas today. I think I've back tracked on everything I've said nearly, and I come across as lazy, so thanks a lot for everything. [chuckle] Just to remind you the spreadsheet is going to look different today because you have had a deposit. The money's come through and I'm not tweaking the spreadsheet 'cause I basically have to edit it to make the percentages work and I'd rather just wait 'til tomorrow when the screenshot will reflect the amounts in the account and I'll make a note on the spreadsheet. It'll make sense. I know, you're a very smart guy. Thanks for everything once again and back to business as usual.

08:29 Christopher Angus: I shall do the spreadsheet now and I'm looking at the action today. And the way S&P is still grinding higher, I am somewhat, what's the word? Unconfident. That wasn't the word, but that's a word, that we will struggle today. And I may make nothing, I may make one or two ticks. We just have to see how it goes, but we need a break now. Because you can see, look at the fucking VIX. It's in... Just look at this bullshit, man. Can you see this? Fuck, I hope this thing is recording. How do I make this bigger? Come on bitch. Oh, fuck it. Can you see how tight this range is? It's so close to impossible to make money, it's not even funny, and it just looks to be getting worse. So we need... There will be a break because the S&P's rallied like 70 points in a couple of days, 60 points; which is a huge amount.

09:47 Christopher Angus: So at some point, someone's gonna wanna take some profit and then everyone's gonna join in and then the VIX will go up a point and then we'll make a fucking load of money, but until the fucking day comes, we're going to struggle. Matter of fact, we cannot make any decent money until the S&P breaks down. Zero. Not zero. You can see we're really fucking grinding here and today looks worse unless we get a break. In fact, I might just go fucking to the bar right now. God, I'm mad. Oh, time to end the video. Bye.
