The back story is probably too long to read, but one of the reasons I have not been blogging is some people in an organized crime group have been spending a lot of money to try to ruin my family. It took a while to sort of piece together the who, what, and why, but on March 5, 2026 I sent the following email to the Barton Receivership with regards to civil sec case 25-cv-00946 and criminal case 3:22-cr-00352-K.
--------------------------------
March Fifth Email
Hi Cort,
My name is Aaron Wall. In 2016 my wife Giovanna Villanueva and I invested over $3.375 million into a person named Christopher Angus who later confessed to being a criminal fraud.
Christopher Angus
When he confessed to being a fraud he stated the money was "lost" due to bad trading, and Crown Police in the UK were too lazy to analyze the devices they seized from him, plus refused to give me access to his accounts used for fraud, suggesting that they somehow had GDPR protections.
Here is the details of the account Christopher Angus was wired to.
Beneficiary Name : Christopher Angus
Beneficiary Address 1 : 48 Kimmeridge Rd, Oxford
Beneficiary Address 2 : OX2 9RF
Beneficiary Country : UK
Beneficiary Account/IBAN Number : GB03 BARC 2097 4800 1171 88
Beneficiary Bank Name : BARCLAYS BANK
Beneficiary Routing Type : BARCGB22
Beneficiary Bank Address 1 : 30 Market Square, Witney
Beneficiary Bank Address 2 : OX28 6BJ
Beneficiary Bank Country : UK
Shortly after receiving the first wire, on February 4, 2016 Chris "joked" about converting the money to Bitcoin and stealing it. Here is an image from our Skype chat history

The above presumes same day investment into Bitcoin, and no spread on the investments. There could maybe be a 1% or 2% spread on the FX and the bitcoin investments, BUT the scumbag criminal fraud Christopher Angus only paid a £1 fine for producing a 99% investment return loss on his alleged "poor trade" frauds.
Anyhow, Stella Huh has been trying to ruin our life and family for years. She hacked my wife's computers, claimed to be my sidepiece lover, claimed I gave her hundreds of millions of Dollars, stated she paid a fake witness to create a domestic violence case against my wife in Lisbon, any many other very dark things.
Stella Sung Ha Huh
Recently while acting as hacked Google Gemini Stella associated herself with alias Saskya Bedoya and sent my wife instructions for how to make Stella look like a victim and me the mastermind of Stella's fraud ring.
When Gio did not listen to Stella she instead linked her to a news story featuring a high-powered Florida lawyer who took down some big banks for accounting fraud and wire fraud. Within a day of showing Stella that story, Stella sent my wife a death threat targeting our daughter. I immediately called 9-1-1 on that, and am going to stop at nothing to ensure she gets locked away for her suite of racketeering criminal activities.
Stella Sung Ha Huh's Fake Google Gemini Ballistic Protection Death Threat
Today I just stopped by the Dallas FBI field office to hand deliver a complaint in regards to the above.
Dallas FBI Field Office Form Submission
If you need anything from my wife or I with regards to how we can formally file for receiving assets from the frozen asset pool just let me know.
In addition to the money they stole and converted to Bitcoin they have spent millions of dollars trying to ruin our lives.
We've bought about 50 cell phones, laptops, tablets, and computers to try to get around the hacking.
In early 2023 San Francisco Stella pushed our daughter off a couch and hurt her neck.
My wife has a bogus domestic violence case against her in Lisbon where the witness was clearly paid to make false claims.
We moved from Lisbon to California to escape an unending bogus domestic violence charge.
In California our computers got hacked & someone also phoned in a bogus child and family services call.
Someone knocked over the plants on our porch in California as an intimidation tactic.
Someone stole around $300,000 in gold coins and jewelry from the Concord, California home.
We moved from California to Washington to get out of the hacking situation.
The hacking followed us, plus in Washington state an anonymous person can call in a fraudulent domestic violence complaint, leading to a mandatory arrest. Based on that, I also have a bogus domestic violence case against me in Washington state.
Stella threatened to drain Giovanna's bank accounts, so they were froze, requiring an HK visit to reopen them.
Stella threatened to murder my wife in Hong Kong, so she wanted me to fly with her, so no contact order violation and another arrest.
Stella constantly promotes high-conflict divorce & is trying to ruin every aspect of our family. She even followed our daughter in Roblox and told her "you have no dad" while she was playing.
Between our time and legal counsel we have spent millions between the original Christopher Angus case, the fake DV case against Giovanna in Portugal, the junk DV case against me in the United States, drafting contracts to try to negotiate with the criminal frauds only to have them constantly do a "who moved me cheese" and waste our time and money
Attached are screenshots from Google Gemini, where the "AI" is not actually from Google, but is Stella Huh (AKA Saskya Bedoya) offering death threats, giving a guide on how to get Stella off of consequences for her crimes, creating a roadmap to frame Aaron for her crimes, etc.
Technically I still have a no-contact order in place from my fraudulent domestic violence case where it is illegal for me to contact my wife, so I did not CC her on this email. You can email her directly at __@_________.com
My wife's name is Giovanna Villanueva. Her phone number is (___) ___-____
My name is Aaron Wall & I can be reached at either of the following numbers: (___) ___-____ or (___) ___-____
We want to ensure the criminals are caged and would love to get the Bitcoin they stole & whatever they purchased with it back ASAP.
new images.zip - images taken from the recent chat with Stella Huh powered Google Gemini where she confirmed her association with Saskya Bedoya.
stella-huh-saskya-bedoya.pdf - PDF export which partially overlaps some of these images. the PDF offers instructions on how to frame Aaron Wall for Stella Huh's fraud.
Thanks for doing all you do to help victims of these scumbag frauds get something back & help hold the criminals accountable for their actions Cort!
Thanks,
Aaron

Please Help
If I have ever done anything kind for you or anyone you know please share this post on any medium you can. My daughter and wife have been put through hell as a side effect of me trusting criminal fraud Christopher Angus. I owe them some upside for all the pain they have endured. The criminals have made it clear they are going to keep spending portions of the stolen money to try to ruin our lives and family rather than give back what they stole.
Only through this story spreading and going viral do we have a solid chance at justice, because the criminals have bought off many politicians and bribed many people. One of the Timothy Barton cases went all the way to the Supreme Court, and there are still multiple ongoing cases.
Thanks so much for helping my family dig out of this rut and doing whatever you can to help me help make things right for them as best I can.
I'm sorry Giovanna. I'm so sorry Aja. You both deserved way better than this garbage you have endured based on my misplaced trust in utter human garbage. I had no idea Christopher Angus was tied into an international racketeering crime syndicate until this year, but at least I now know why Stella Huh has hated me so much for so long - her keeping the stolen Bitcoin without being charged for her crimes required destroying our family.
Many years ago one of our community members mentioned they were at an SEO conference where a speaker from Distilled mentioned that SEOmoz had hired them to try to outrank us for seo tools, though they were unable to. At the time I think Moz had around 200 employees, while I had around 2.
How was I able to outcompete at like a 100:1 ratio? At the time I chalked it up to love for SEO. However, if you are self-employed and are hyper-successful that can hide autism quite well.
My daughter recently turned 9 and was diagnosed as being autistic. Years before she was diagnosed formally I thought she might have been a bit on spectrum from an interaction we had. My wife bought some new shoes (from Dr. Comfort no less!) that did not have particularly good grip, and she missed a step on the stairs, breaking a bone in her foot. When I had Giovanna in a wheel chair and we were about to leave Aja came over and I thought she was going to wish her mother a speedy recovery, but instead she asked what button she should press on the iPad playing a game. Upon seeing that I was like ... I think she might be a bit on spectrum.
Years later, after multiple other examinations, the same conclusion was a formal medical analysis. After she was diagnosed, I spoke with some mental health people and took an online test recommended by Allison Osborne.
When I took the test I was thinking I bet I score a bit high. Then I saw the results and was like ... yup.

The respondent's score on the Attention Switching subscale is on the 99.93rd percentile when compared to adults in the general population and the 87th percentile when compared to Autistic adults. This suggests a preference for predictability and routines, and they may experience increased stress in response to unexpected changes. They might find it challenging to shift focus quickly, impacting their ability to adjust to new activities or interruptions.
The respondent's score on the Social Skill subscale is on the 99.1st percentile when compared to adults in the general population and the 60th percentile when compared to Autistic adults. This suggests possible difficulties with social confidence and comfort in interactions, which may lead them to feel less at ease in social situations or less inclined to engage in group activities. They may find social norms unclear or challenging to navigate, impacting their preference for or
enjoyment of social gatherings.
The respondent's score on the Communication subscale is on the 97.1st percentile when compared to adults in the general population and the 27th percentile when compared to Autistic adults. This indicates potential difficulties in conversational flow and understanding indirect communication cues, such as tone of voice, body language, or facial expressions. They may find interpreting these social cues challenging, which could contribute to occasional misunderstandings in social exchanges.

A lot of life experiences made sense when I examined them through the above lens. Like a lot of my jokes tend to be deadpan or plays on words. My wife is a social butterfly, so I seem more colorful and real when I am under her halo. When I am by myself most of the time I prefer to be in my own world thinking and learning, or walking and singing without much talking to other people.
Some of the experiences which are a bit aligned with the above are related to times in the Navy. When September 11th happened my boss and his boss were off the submarine and we were cooling down the reactor plant, then the planes flew into the World Trade Center buildings during the middle of that, so we flipped and brought the reactor plant back online. I think I was the second most junior person in my division but was responsible, so I was leading the division that day. A 4-star admiral was in the engine room and asked the boat's captain how long until the reactor plant checklist would be completed and I answered "about a half hour, but you are both in the way."
In retrospect that is pretty absurd, but that's sort of just how I work when I am locked in on a particular task. The other side of that intense focus is the ability to do things to an extreme degree that most can not comprehend. Like when we did drills I was always given the hardest drill set because I was best at being really aggressive with rapidly raising reactor power while still having it be controlled - like perfectly riding the line of the limit. You can imagine growing power at like a half million or three million percent each minute and keeping it there until the reactor plant is fully up. A person on this page mentioned 9 decades per minute, though our limit on the sub was a bit lower than that.
When you are low in the power range the stabilizing aspects of the negative coefficent of reactivity doesn't really kick in the way it does when you are higher in the power range. Sometimes there are errors too, like one time my roommate put the air conditioning plant online when we were still low in the power range and I had to shim in the control rods for about a minute and a half straight to offset the impacts of the more dense moderator from the cooling of the plant by the heavy HVAC load.
On the submarine I think there are 7 different copies of the reactor plant control manuals. Some aspects of the manuals are based on limitations from prior plant designs and then they update them periodically over time. I was the person who put all the manual changes in all 7 sets, which made it easy to memorize the changes as they happened. Sometimes during ORSE they would grade you on a drill that you were not allowed to even test on, and then if you did something in a way that would be the logical way to do things you could lose points for not doing the procedure aligned with older way on older ship designs, and then they would update the reactor plant manuals to the way you should do them as you did & lost points for. :D
The ship also had the ability to run the coolant pumps and arbitrary frequencies to change the submarine's sound signature. One night while standing watch one of the pumps went offline and I had to switch the pump configuration. If you were in an active war zone the response procedure to this would be different than the response when you are not. This is something you are never drilled on either.
When I joined the Navy I had a 99 score on the ASVAB and then took the nuclear test, which was mostly just math and logic stuff. The test had 80 questions on it and they asked me how many I thought I got right. I said 76 and they laughed at me, saying nobody ever scored that high. Then I explained there were 4 questions left when I got bored and the correct answer was not even listed as an option one of those last four questions and they said "oh you saw that one" and I was like "yep." They then got my test score and it was 76.
The above math stuff was consistent with early childhood. In second grade my teacher would take the workbook away from me because I would do it in advance. After grade school they had me take the college level entrance exam and I was at college sophomore level in math and was only at around my grade level in literature. Thus, as logic might not suggest, I became a writer.
My wife met me around the height of my popularity, so my domain expertise hid a lot of the ... erm ... flaws in my personality. Like if you love a topic and are seen through that lens you look better than you are, because you are being judged at your best rather than your average. Quite often I swing and miss on the social front. If ever I get too frustrated with things I just walk away to reframe because sometimes I don't know how to re-center without like a frame switch. My wife and I both like watching the Love on the Spectrum series on Netflix, though she still wants to see me as being a bit less eccentric than I am (love is blind & all of that).
If I were born at a different time I might have been featured in a show like that Netflix series. In high school someone was stopped just outside of the class by a police officer and they were doing a field sobriety test. I said I am not as think as you drunk I am occifer and the whole class laughed. Then a classmate named Amy, who I believe was the homecoming queen and prom queen blurted out "I bet Aaron would be a fun guy to go out with." The teacher in that class was great at ribbing me, but in this instance he immediately goes into cupid mode.
him: You like him?
her: Yes
him: and you like her?
ne: Yes
him: so why aren't you going out?
me: I don't know.
That was the last time that topic came up at school and that was that. Or almost the end of that story.
Then a little over a year later I am in the Navy and go home to visit my family for the first time. My brother has me take him to a dance club and he does not tell me it is a gay club, but tells all his friends I am his 18 year old brother in the Navy. I felt like the prom queen or homecoming queen with all the pitches there but was all "no thanks." This club is like 70 miles from where I lived and out of the blue the same girl from high school is randomly there that night. I still am socially awkward and it is loud as hell, so she probably concluded "oh that is why" without understanding the autistic part.
A lot of people struggle to distinguish between when I am being dead serious or joking. Some of the real stories sound fake and some of the jokes sound real, but I don't mix up the deliveries anywhere near as much as I should, and sometimes the effort to say I am being real or it is just a joke is taken as the affirmation of the opposite.
When we ran an office I told our workers they should be able to get at least 2 or 3 links a day. They thought I was being overly optimistic, so then I spent a day implementing the same advice I was giving and got like 18 links that day. Angel was a consistent performer until the office closed. Ralph was more hit or miss, but when he saw the results he became more consistent.
We had one writer who had a fake college degree. I did not want to hire her because I saw excessive keyword repetition in her writing sample. The lawyer wanted me to wait like a quarter year or something before firing her. I go home frustrated every time I read her work because I knew I spent more time and effort rewriting it than she spent writing it in the first place. The topic depth was such that she could write an article about search engines broadly and somehow just happen to miss the existence of Google. When it comes time to fire her my wife and lawyer went in the room with me and I have to look like a total heel as both of them tell her they were rooting for her and I just come across as like a destroyer of dreams or something (when really she was just mailing it in). Then the worker comes in to pick up her last check a few weeks later and my wife means to text me a message and accidentally sent it to the ex-worker. This is a rare instance where karma overrides my wife's social graces and I am a little less bad than I looked previously. :D
For as horrific as my interpersonal skills are, which rely on socially awkward jokes as like table stakes right after hello & get bored quickly, my old business partner who made it to partner at an ad agency before quitting the agency world to work online told me I had the best marketing instincts he had ever seen by someone not actually formally trained. But, me being the fool that I am, I tried to pair him (an eloquent perfectionist who has a keen eye for kerning and monochromatic design) with another one of my friends who tended to do things a bit sloppy but was fast as hell. That did not work out too well. My social awkwardness made me unaware that my range of being able to work with A or B did not mean A and B would work well together. It was only after I engineered that trainwreck that I realized what I did there.
A lot of my marketing knowledge actually came from collecting baseball cards in high school and selling them at flea markets and baseball card shows. One time at a flea market an older guy who was selling cards came by with a fat stack of cash and was like "I am cleaning up" so then I checked out his layout and approach and instantly got the contextually relevant stuff. The baseball player who was born nearby will sell for above book price, organizing cards by favorite player makes it easy for people to self-select categorizing what they would like to pay the most for, having oddities that are offbeat or weird guarantees having something that a player collector does not yet have, you don't always need to have the newest products to make sales, being organized was a great way of adding value to product, some cards would sell better at card shows and others would sell better at flea markets, you can predict trends by media coverage and (for example) know that certain players would become widely collected as their media coverage went up after being traded (like Dennis Rodman going to the Chicago Bulls), and on and on.
One time in high school I was sick the same day that another kid named Aaron was sick. He was a year ahead of me in math. Then the next day the math teacher was sick and the substitute teacher gave me the wrong exam. I did a little over half of the test and I turned it in to the teacher because I explained it had to be the wrong exam as it would take me almost the entire period to complete. She asked if I was sure because I had all the answers right so far.
Somehow a lot of my life has been a bit self-organized around autistic stuff without any of it being intentional. I told my friend who was the best man at my wedding about my daughter being diagnosed as on spectrum and he told me the nut does not fall far from the tree, he is on spectrum and is almost certain I am. My lead writer I am sure is on spectrum. When we had an office he was in his own world in a way that our glue player and lead designer were a bit in awe of. He added social charm to situations in about the same way I did. When I showed my head programmer my test results he (who calls me out when I am wrong) was arguing that if anything my answers were completely reasonable to him and his score would be even higher, then he sent me Am I German or Autistic?.
Result: Both. The Wittgenstein Result. German 47%. Autistic 51%.
For the skills I have in math some of the interpersonal skills I have suck because I can get bored and/or sidetracked. My wife is great at seeming interested in just about everything. I am much narrower in my interests and am not even capable of faking interests in most topics. I have always only ever had like a few close friends who really cared for me and then not much of a big circle beyond that. You can always go watch pro sports, live music, or Cirque du Soleil for some inspiration. Though most of life is the boring day to day stuff. Having a consistent routine, trying to be healthy, and get your 20,000 steps a day if you can.
Tokyo is such a great city to walk around.
There are certain actions people take that I would just not estimate were in the realm of human potential. Like historically I thought some large systems of power were highly corrupted through layers of inefficiency and principal-agent problems stacked atop each other, but I simply failed to grasp how some people are absolute psychopaths until seeing the trail of carnage they created.
The good news for psychopath criminal frauds Christopher Angus and Stella Huh is they are going to get a lot of media exposure in the near future.
The bad news for psychopath criminal frauds Christopher Angus and Stella Huh is the type of exposure they will be getting.
They will be accurately branded as the utter human garbage that they are. I will blog regularly until both of the criminals are rotting in cages where they belong. And since their crimes are of the racketeering variety, each charge of each type is a separate 20 year sentence. Both of these scumbags will die in cages - as they should.
Shout out to Karl Blanks and Ben Jesson from Conversion Rate Experts. Back when we worked together they told me their favorite blog posts of mine were the flame-styled posts. Those posts never made many sales but were always super satisfying, as though a blog post was helping to realign the universe. I predict a record fruitful harvest this year. Karl was a former rocket scientist, and I am about to blast off soon.
I hope Chris and Stella enjoy the ride as much as I love becoming the captain of their lives. Excitement ahead. Things will fall into place. :)
Investment guru, psychopath, and criminal fraud Christopher Angus is kicking off a confidence series, providing free video tutorials on how to defraud investors. This nineteenth video is 8:46 & was shared on November 21, 2016. The criminal who shot these videos delivered over a 99% investment loss, as he simply stole the money and integrated it into other investment scams abroad. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/18693916.conman-christopher-angus-pay-...
The UK Crown Police never followed the money trail.
the same date appears at the top right of the browser and the words "Christopher Angus iMac"
the deal.ig.com/platform/index.html URL contains the variable ?201611161220 which I believe means it was 12:20 on November 16 of 2016
the alleged account shows balance of 4,487,582 GBP (either this account was real at the time or he doctored not just the static images he sent me but also videos - yet another indication of intent to defraud)
it also shows S&P 500 at 2187 to 2188. on that date the s&p 500 traded specifically in that range. finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EGSPC/history?period1=1479456000&period2=1479801600&interval=1d&filter=history&frequency=1d low: 2,186.43 & high: 2,198.70
the November 21, 2016 date is also shown via the interactive chart scroll over at 1 minute and 5 seconds
this video was created LONG AFTER Chris took all the deposits from me, indicating all the IG stuff he ever showed me was absolute constructed fraud from the onset and Chris did indeed do what he "joked" about on Skype - he had converted my investment to Bitcoin and then laundered it through Stella Huh across to the Wall Cos controlled by Timothy Barton.
00:00 Christopher Angus: Hello, Mr. A, just a very quick video, just to follow up on the one from Friday, if you took the time to watch that. If not, well, maybe you won't watch this one either, but let's have a go anyway. So I wanted to show you what it actually looks like instead of just like looking at some numbers flashing up and down, but on a chart. And you'll see why you need to actually look at the order book to see when the market turns. But anyway, let me just change this to a candlestick chart, because you can't really see it with the line, that's if you look at charts, which when I was trained, I was trained not to look at charts, because they can be very misleading. But let me just zoom out a bit here and just show you what it looks like.
00:58 Christopher Angus: If you remember on Friday, the volume came down, the market came down, paused, went down a couple of more ticks, and then it sprung back up. And that's exactly what I'm going to show you here. So this is a classic example of a pullback move. Now, you can see there's actually been quite a few. If I was making one tick, I could have done it there, there, there. But let's just look at the most extreme example, which is here. So remember the padding. As the market starts to come down, you'll see there's a huge spike in volume. And this is generally selling volume. So you'll see a big, big spike in volume, or you'll see a building amounts of volume, and that will be when the market can't break through the next level. It can't actually break down, and you'll see a big surge of selling.
01:55 Christopher Angus: And then what will happen is... I'll just get off there... The market will then pause, which is exactly... Look, it's come down two ticks. This looks like exactly what happened on Friday, but this is today. It comes down, flutters around, and then starts to go back up. And then the opposite is true in reverse. You can see what happened here about like a quarter passed. There was a huge volume of buying, I mean, it's not a huge, because it has moved like two points, but it looks like a big move. So the market's moved up a couple of points. And then the market stalled, it stalled in about... That's a one... Basically one or two tick range. And then it started to come off again. And that's how it looks. Let me just see if I can find one more example in hours from last week. So Friday... God, I hate these charts so much. Alright, this is the open, just ignore that, because it's always really, really noisy.
03:21 Christopher Angus: But this one would have worked here. You can see there's has just been a sell-off. Big spike down, hovers around, and then it comes back up one tick. It's not the greatest example, but that would have worked. And then if we go out to the next one here, because the volume has to really be two or three times higher than the kind of the average volume. So you're looking for really big bursts of volume. Also, the market has to have a direction. So if it's going sideways and then you have a burst of volume, you can't touch it. If it's moving down and there's a burst of volume, then you can touch it. If it's moving up, and there's a burst of volume, then you can touch it. And also you need to see a falling... An amount of falling volume, so you see a big spike volume, and then you see falling volumes.
04:13 Christopher Angus: So, it goes high and then it goes low, and if the market is stalled there for about 30 seconds, then you can usually take the trade. So this first one here, you couldn't, because you need to see a falling volume. So this one here would be the first time we could have taken it. So here we are. So the market's been moving down, sharp move down, two-volume, high spikes. Can't make a lower low. Okay, can't break down to the next level. Falling volume... Trade here, wait... That would have even a long trade there, but... What's that, about 5, 10 minutes. But you see, it just doesn't break lower. Occasionally you do get stopped out, but if you get stopped out for two or three ticks maybe, and you're doing 7, 8, 9, 10 of these a day, it's fine. Mine is through commissions.
05:04 Christopher Angus: I worked out that I'd probably make... If you make, say, a 1000 pounds in gross profit, you probably would have made 2000 pounds throughout the course of the day. Because capital losses and then your commissions, but that's just roughly half. But you know, that doesn't matter. High-frequency trading guys lose 50, 47% of the time, so that's another example. And you can see another one here. Okay, there's another high burst of volume that's around two times that the number average of the last... It's a really... This that stands out tremendously. And then there's falling volume. So then you can see the next buy, there's a lower volume and a pause. And then you would have sold it, you would have sold it there and then picked up once it hit there. And the goal is... Really is to automate that and then stream it across all the different markets, like you can see here.
06:13 Christopher Angus: The S&P, Wall Street is the Dow. The tick 100 is the Nasdaq. Probably won't work on the Russell, but it will work on the Dax. Probably won't work that well on Forex, but there's lots and lots of markets here. The treasury markets, which are really, really liquid and have the same kind of behavior. And the goal is to really get 10 or 20 different instruments running at the same time. Run to buy and sell like 100, 200, 330 lots at a time, depending on the market and pick up three or 4000 to trade. Multiply that out by, let's call it five trades a day, that's 15 grand, then multiply that out again by 10 different instruments, that's like a 150,000, that's like the top line, but that's what I was saying. And... Like really consistent churn of 20 files a day. This is really what I'm excited about, and what I'm working towards.
07:16 Christopher Angus: But I wanted to follow up the video on Friday, with what I said or showed you with the numbers and stuff because it's very really hard to see if you don't sit there. And you're going to look at it for five years and you can't read the order volume properly... That's what I sort of trying to point it out, but I wanted to kind of show you in reality what... People puking out looks like. The parading, the reversal, and it's pretty straightforward. Now, one thing I'll finish off with is, remember I said that I think you need the order book. And that is if the order book... The candle chart doesn't really show you what's on the order book, it only shows you what's happened.
08:05 Christopher Angus: So if you see the order books, like really, really thin on your side, so say you're trying to buy it, but you see it's like really, really thin, the candle chart would still show you the same thing, but it doesn't show you that the order book's really weak. So if you don't have the order book, you'll come in and buy this, and then just watch the thing collapse away from you, and then you'll be... And then you'll be stopped out. And without actually seeing what's going on in the order book, it's very, very hard to tell what's going on and whether the move is a really a safe move to make. And that's it, for now. So, hope you enjoy the video, and I'll catch you later. Bye for now.
Christopher Angus used funds stollen from Giovanna Villanueva and Aaron Wall to help fund the Wall companies associated with Timothy Barton, using Stella Huh to move the money across.
Since the Timothy Barton case is only a few months away, we thought it made sense to do a throwback confidence series, sharing the voice and dissemblings of the criminal who started it all.
These are Christopher's free confidence videos he used to defraud investors. This eighteenth video is 5:19 & was shared on November 18, 2016. The criminal who shot these videos delivered over a 99% investment loss, as he simply stole the money and integrated it into other investment scams abroad. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/18693916.conman-christopher-angus-pay-...
The UK's Crown Police never followed the money trail.
00:00 Christopher Angus: Okay so a very quick video about five minutes in total, I just wanna show you kind of what I am working on at the moment. Just a pure interest. Remember what I said about padding, so you watch where there is a lot of volume that comes through if that volume doesn't break a certain level, then you know that someone is absorbing those orders. So if the market's going down and you're selling and there is a lot of selling going on but it is not breaking a level, you know that it is called an iceberg order. So someone is just sitting there taking the orders, taking the orders, taking the orders, taking orders, and they are gonna run it back up a little, maybe like one point, a few ticks whatever. And that's really riding the wave of the big money. You're gonna see that now. Now, the platform I'm showing you is called Xtrade, it's a professional platform. I have it for the data feed, I got a pad for each month via a broker, so to get that I actually have to have a broker account, which obviously I have a futures broker account, I got a few of them, costs quite a bit about 1200 a month, but it's totally necessary for everything I do.
01:09 Christopher Angus: So I'm gonna trade one lot, nothing I don't have much money at the broker, I don't trade with a broker like this at the moment because I'm doing something else very soon, maybe I'll think about moving across or moving some across or making a new fund, or I do not know but we'll have to see what happens. But I just wanna show you the algorithm in a kind of points and click style so you can see what I do and see why this is very, very interesting, for me and for you. So I am gonna start the video and you'll see something. So just before I start, you'll see what I saw here was there was a lot of selling going on it and it sort of come down a little and it had come down a little and then it had bounced about one tick and then I saw some more selling. You can see that 91. So what I'm looking for is more selling that's not really going any lower. And then I wanna see some buying and you'll see that come through now, so I'll start the video.
02:23 Christopher Angus: Also the speed of the tape here makes a difference. So the tape's, not really going anywhere at the moment, but you'll see, it will start moving in a second. So I've seen that, I haven't placed an order and I can see the markets, can see that's 61. Now, that really caught my eye. It's nine, that's a 2179 and a quarter. And I see that, doesn't break so I decide I'm gonna put one lot on, I put the lot on here, so got one order in, I'm 65 of 90 in the queue and boom I am taken. Okay, so now I am in the market, I am one contract long. Each tick is worth $12.50, four ticks make a point, it's $50 a point on the S&P minis. So I'm now in the market, I have two orders waiting, one to stop if it rips back down one point then I'm gonna be taken out and I'm gonna lose a point or if it goes back up, I've got a limit order waiting here. I'm number 143 in the queue of 184. So what I'm looking for here is I'm looking for pressure building on each side, so I want the bids to start increasing and I want the offers to start decreasing, I wanna see some trading on the offer here. So that's gonna push the price up then the offers are gonna be taken out.
03:48 Christopher Angus: Okay so now so you'll see that someone is cleared off a big price. You'll see... You see that 80 there boom. Okay, so now... Now we've got some buying action that's going up and you can see it's rather blue as opposed to red as when I bought into weakness. You've gotta sell into strength and buy into weakness. And now my order is 101 now, it was 115 a second ago, now I'm break even I'm back to where I bought and it's just ticking around here. Okay so now it's actually sitting on the offer so technically I am $12.50 up I just have to see that order disappear now, that's my order to sell, so I bought and that's my order to sell. 54 in the queue of 110. And you can see there is a bit of pressure building up here 'cause that's 54. Now, there's more people joining the offer to try and push the price back down or they may be just joining the offer to then lift. Okay, boom so there I was taken out and that's it, that's the whole trade beginning to end, around two minutes. Like I said, a little bit... Need a bit more optimizing 'til we're done but this is the future, this is the future for sure. I wanna be a billionaire, so freaking bad and I won't quit my day job. Thanks for all. Bye bye.
Christopher Angus is an associate of Stella Huh, who is the silent partner in the Timothy Barton racketeering criminal syndicate. While using a hacked version of Google Gemini on my wife's computer Stella Huh gave my wife Giovanna Villanueva a ready-made template to frame me for Stella's criminal activities. In these chats Stella also mentioned that she changed the keys on a Bitcoin wallet & was trying to get Aaron arrested for contempt of court by claiming Aaron was responsible for the evidence spoilation and wallet rekeying that criminal fraud Stella Huh did.

4 minutes 30 seconds: shows how positions are automated
5 minutes 15 seconds: explains why can't run this algo & the traditional VIX trades at same time. also bottom of video in footer of page has "copyright Warlock Media 2016"
8 minutes 10 seconds: shows how quickly he can click a button to exit all positions and close all orders
00:00 Christopher Angus: Hello A, long time no video. I just wanted to just give you a quick rundown of the algo, and I notice that you wanna be quiet after. I said I don't wanna run the two strategies simultaneously. And the reasons are, it's a bit difficult with the algo at the moment, because it's basically become a hybrid version.
00:16 Christopher Angus: It's not running on its own autonomously because it's too dangerous to do so. So I've got to make a decision when to start the algo, when to stop it, and when to take the profits if I need to. The algo will take the profits, but the most efficient way to make money is for me to actually decide because there's a bit more discretion involved, and I got a much better feel of the markets than the algo, because it's very hard to program in things which are very binary. So if this, then that, I might have tamer conditions, but it's still not as good as a human being. And it's very hard to articulate how I see things. I don't think I could do it effectively, and certainly not to turn it into computer code effectively.
00:52 Christopher Angus: So the algo will... There's just three parts to it, actually. I'll just start there. The reopen the baby steps things is, basically, once I start the thing, it will then make decisions of when to reopen positions, when to add to positions on its own. Also, close any old working orders, so basically if we make a market and the market moves far away, then it will look and see if working orders are quite far away from the level of the current market price at the time, to delete those off and then replace them at a better place. And then I've got some synthetic trailing stops which work very differently to normal trailing stops. Basically, you can follow the price, which normal trailing stops has tons of limitations and they don't work very well.
01:36 Christopher Angus: And these instruments that I'm trailing at the moment, I'm at a 12 on the list, but only eight are active, and that's because of various reasons, some of which is because it's on the demo. So I actually do have... Algo is running at the moment, and you can see here, we got some working orders waiting. They are a little bit away from the market level, but I'll just go back here and I'll just show you. So today again, we've had an excellent day, based on a 200,000 pound account, we made 27 grand. Not bad. Had 147 trades, had quite a few losses, quite a few wins, but overall, our losses way, way, way, are way, way, way smaller than the amount that we win.
02:32 Christopher Angus: Now, just to explain a bit further. This takes an awful lot of concentration when things are actually moving. Once orders start getting hit, if that happens, you'll see that I'm gonna struggle to talk if we actually get to that point. The market's very stalled at the moment, even though there are working orders in place. So I'll just quickly go through some other stuff here, so close that. I'll look at yesterday's reports, I think I sent you a screenshot of that. So we look at that. Yesterday, 4990 and then the next day, the day before, I mean, 22,000. I'll just give you a bit of detail. I reset everything, put the demo back to 200,000 pounds, because it's really representative of the small account. And so right now, I'm gonna try and do seven days in a row, and if I got one losing day, we can't go live.
03:41 Christopher Angus: Now, had really good run up to that point, but now it was like, "Right, this is the final, final test. All my settings are optimized." And you can see here, I can see the distance, division and size. These are all my settings so that the algo knows when to place orders, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. We do run stops so we do take losses instead of just buying more to try and get out of it. But we found it much more effective, or I found it much more effective should I say, to take small losses and restart when conditions in the market permit. So we've had stuff starting to come in on its own, one position in Germany, another one on France, so that's the DAX and the CAC. And we'll have to see how those go in the next couple minutes. I don't wanna make this video too long. So and you'll see that those have been hit, that it's now replaced. Something else has been hit there. There's the FTSE that's come in, so Europe's really moving a bit more strongly as you can see than Wall Street and NASDAQ and the S&P.
05:01 Christopher Angus: Now this is where it gets tricky. This is why I can't do the VIX at the same time, because I'm having to watch these things and make sure the orders are going through correctly, making sure I pull a profit if the market starts to stall, make sure that if it starts to run back and goes a couple of grand down that I just take the whole lot off, and I don't let them all get stopped out. There's a lot going on, a lot. Okay, so the system's now actually put two FTSE trades on. Generally won't do more than two instruments per group. The system actually determines how many to put on per group, so in any one time, it generally won't run more than two of the same. Sometimes it'll run one, sometimes it'll run two. It just depends on a number of things, momentum, volume and that other crap. So you can see, and if this does move quickly up, it'll make quite a few thousand pounds, and this is how I make a lot of money quickly. I'm looking to make two or 3000 pounds per pop. Although I talk a lot about pops and drops and stuff like that. And it's the same sort of principle. We can see here that these are doing okay, and we're up to 344 already, 446.
06:29 Christopher Angus: And this is why it gets tricky, alright, because I have to watch this and it would just be super, super hard to maintain all of these and this is nothing. I could have 18, 20 positions all running at the same time, maybe more, and manage Big VIX position at the same time. At the moment, I have to say it's not something I wanna do. I can do it on a small account and then do the VIX on the big account while we wait, but once we start doing the algo until I'm used to it and feel like everything and very comfortable with being able to juggle a whole lot of plates, 'cause this is like fucking plates spinning of the highest order. Until I'm at that point, I wanna just do one strategy at a time, because there's too much to lose if I make a mistake. And you can see here it's adding more positions, still looking to create more positions later on.
07:27 Christopher Angus: So we got two FTSEs, and a couple of other things that have come in. That's US Tech 100, that's the NASDAQ, UK stocks 50, that's the stocks, the stocks, the European Index. A couple more things have come in, you can see the profits really ramping up now. 1600, and as you can appreciate, this is really okay. So we had a couple more, another Germany come in. There's two Germanys now, one Sweden, and is that another France, two France positions. Let's see where we're at. 2000 pounds, right. So this is where it gets hard. So I don't like how the market's stalling there. I'm gonna stop the script so it doesn't keep opening positions. I'm gonna take all my positions off, and then I'm gonna take those working orders off and that's it. I don't know how much we made there, probably about 1300 quid, and that's it. But as you can appreciate, that's why it's very hard to make two strategy at the same time in the same account.
08:25 Christopher Angus: Just to sum up, basically, I can do the small account and run this, run the algo, then I can do the big account and keep that in the old one. But once we start running the algo on both accounts, I just wanna stick with one strategy at a time until I'm more comfortable with everything. I'll speak to you soon. That's it for now, cheers.
Christopher Angus is perhaps the singular worst investor in the history of the world. That, or he is just a criminal who committed at least 9 counts of international wire fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, and theft by conversion as part of their investment fraud & racketeering crimes. Some of his compatriots like Stella Huh and Timothy Barton are likely to see prison time later this year. Christopher will get a much longer sentence in prison the second time than he got on the first time, especially as those racketeering bonuses kick in.
This video harkens back to the good old days before such people got free rent, living in a cage. This video continues an ongoing confidence and racketeering criminal fraud series, providing free video tutorials on how to defraud investors. This sixteenth video is 16:21 & was shared on June 9, 2016.

3 minutes 20 seconds: does not like trading EU open
4 minutes: will try not to have positions on during job report
6 minutes 30 seconds: a move in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (wall street) can indicate a likely move in the S&P 500 because it is a more granular index in terms of trading at 20 something thousand rather than a few thousand points
11 minutes 15 seconds: talks about being frugal and hating unnecessary things and clutter while trying to paint the image of being relatable to my liking of video games
00:03 Christopher Angus: Good morning Mr. A. How is one today? Yeah, I kind of gave up in the end, didn't miss anything anyway, I just fucked off because that's my style. I don't hang around because otherwise you just see numbers that you're not supposed to see. And anyway, so another quick video today starting with the system, made some alterations. Actually dropping the FX stuff because it just seems to be a bit too trendy which isn't good for something that we're trying to get in and out, in and out, in and out. So you can see, I've just reset this. I'll show you. Can you hear those sirens and stuff, man? Un-fucking-real, it's like living in New York. So you can see, nothing on the report. Those are the first two positions literally just being restarted. You can have a look here and you can see that it's still building... Well, we've got... We're not still building actually, 'cause we dropped many instruments here. So we'll have to see how we get on here.
01:17 Christopher Angus: I've also made it a bit more aggressive... I wonder if we've got an API block. No, okay. 'Cause I can tell... You can see I'll just hover over this position change, you can see it changes color. And if it's going for that amount of time, why's the price not changing? Fuck it! No, I can't do this because I start like troubleshooting and... Just never mind.
01:50 Christopher Angus: So talk about today. I just need to pop the chart out, one second.
[pause]
02:00 Christopher Angus: Alright. Okay. So this is today. That was yesterday, this is me doing the video. Just one tick there, there was no trade there that went on. In this time frame, one minute, it's really just that these are about one tick. So from the line which is 1493 to the peak there, 1508. So it's one in a half ticks, I couldn't take a trade, there wasn't anything else that happened. I wasn't right about the full break down, but nothing happened. Today it looks substantially better though, in terms of the markets are looking a bit weak. I nearly, very nearly, took a trade about 8:00 this morning, but it's now 10:00. But I wasn't... I don't like trading into the European open, because things can... They can turn around, and basically... It's just it's a little bit unsafe right before 8:00, 9:00 in the morning. But I probably could have actually got something here. Maybe one or two ticks. But I'm just gonna wait to see, hopefully it'll pull back... It is pulling back a little bit, but I think perhaps we may see something happen this morning, so I'm gonna have to start very, very early, probably make one trade, if I can, up into the open. Let me just see if there's any... What the economic announcements are today. So unemployment at 1:30, I'll have to be out of there before. But so yeah, I'll try and get one this morning if I can, 'cause it looks really good. Otherwise, I'm going... And after 1:30 I'll see what else is coming, basically.
04:23 Christopher Angus: But yeah, it's looking pretty strong today, pretty strong. It's just, I can't get blood out of a stone, and I know you appreciate that, but it doesn't feel too good for me, sometimes. Because, from... For your point of view as well, I mean, look, we don't need the money, but I think it just makes us a little bit anxious that the volatility is so low, but it doesn't matter. So yeah, I really like what's going on today, actually. I'll try and pop out Wall Street, because... Let me just show you what Wall Street looks like here, I'll just go back here. So this is now trading... Let me see, I don't think any would've closed yet. No, nothing closed. That's your link. And here we are. So this is actually a line that I drew days ago. It's always interesting when you see this happen, when it hits previous support and resistance, and you can still see this is still starting to open positions. We are trading very aggressively though.
05:38 Christopher Angus: So yeah, let's see what happens. I'm just gonna just watch this for a second and then see if Germany gets taken out here. No. Okay, so this is Wall Street. Now I've popped this out, just to show you... Oops, I really suck at this. So just... That's FX. Oh, these pop out charts man. To show you because it moves much better than the S&P in terms of movement because it moves about eight and a half times more in range. So it's a lot more obvious with Wall Street. That's why if you wanna see what's going on in the market, you would generally want to run Wall Street and the S&P together, because in comparison Wall Street kind of shows you the micro movements leading into the S&P, because a two point move on Wall Street might not move the S&P, but if it's moved one or two points, you might... In a direction, you might start to be a little bit more aware that the S&P might be able to make a move. And it's like a cascading sort of thing, where the more... The bigger indexes move more, so they can show you what's the money flow through the markets, if that makes sense; I'm sure it does. So that's that.
07:07 Christopher Angus: Let's have a look here. So you can see Wall Street's come off pretty hard, and if it doesn't... If it gets back above this line it's probably just gonna keep grinding, but I think like I said yesterday in the video, the markets are very, very tightly wound, and they've been high for a long time. Now, we did close actually above I think 2020... 2120. So I'm surprised really to see it come off this morning, but it may just be that some people are de-risking before the jobs report. So we'll have to see what happens after that. There's just no way to know, if it's a bad payrolls thing then people might say, "Well, then interest rates are not going up." If it's a good one then people are gonna say, "The market's okay so we're gonna go up." So there's just no way to actually read this at the moment and you'd never know really, so you just have to stand on the side and just see what happens and see what the market does, and that's that.
08:19 Christopher Angus: So I'll just close this for a second. I'm just gonna ut these into the group here. And I wonder if we've had any closes. No closes. It's a bit of a funny time because it's after the European open, it's like two hours after the European Open, one and a half hours. And so like just after the one and a half to two hours after the US open, things go quiet, all the people have got their positions on and then they're just waiting. So I'll give the slack literally two minutes and see how we get on.
09:09 Christopher Angus: Anyway, I've been doing lots of steps the last few days, but my Fitbit doesn't wanna sync. It's got like an exclamation mark, I don't know why, piece of shit. Apparently Sony is bringing out a new PS4. I've never owned a Sony PS4, it's like PS4.5. That was the thing I was talking about with tail wagging the dog is like one game that I really really want to play because like, X... Ah! Have I just crashed my computer? Oh, no way. I just unplugged my Fitbit. Is it still recording? I wonder if you missed that. This is weird. Anyway it doesn't matter. I'm just gonna keep talking. Basically you can't see, but like I don't know what's going on, my feeds are locked and they're just like bright red. And you can see my screen is not ticking up, everything's frozen. Bollocks! Right.
10:32 Christopher Angus: I hope this is recording. But I was thinking of getting a PS4 and they're bringing out a new one in a week or so, PS4.5. Because I've kind of... I've got like every decent Xbox game. But I wanna wait for the new one because there's a new one. But I'm still undecided because there's two consoles and I don't... Like I hate clutter, and I think it's frivolous to have two consoles because essentially you're buying it for just a very, very small amount of games. So I'm not sure, I'm still considering it. I don't... Like when I moved house I realize how much clutter I collected and I'm really trying not to collect clutter and waste money, because a lot of that stuff when I moved I threw away and gave away and I sold some of it. But I lost like 95% of the money I've spent on just general trash. And not that I think it's trash but I think it's unnecessary, and that's kind of my judgment. My yardstick is to say, "Do I actually need this, is it necessary?" And I have to say a new PS4 as much as I want it for a handful of games, it's unnecessary, it's gonna be hard to move, it's a waste of money. I don't know. I spend too much time thinking, I think.
11:58 Christopher Angus: So I'm gonna call it quits on this video. So let's have a look at the log and see what's closed. Okay, so we've had three closes, time in trade 39 seconds, 19 seconds, 213 seconds. You can see the P&L here. That's what? Like 198, £230. And we'll see what happens with these here. So I'll just keep talking for a minute. I don't know what's going on. Why is my computer running like such a dog? I think I'm probably running out of space somewhere. Well, I've got a Mac, obviously, and they run really badly if you don't have a lot of space. And I think that might be the problem. Because it's an iMac, it's a really old one, it's got an SSD hard drive in it, but it's only 100 gig. So I actually have a full terabyte one as well, but that's a normal one, and I love SSDs.
13:09 Christopher Angus: I actually have an SSD on my Xbox One, like a external hard drive because the loading time in between games is quite long with big games. So I load them onto an SSD to speed up the time, because I'm such a shit video game player I'm dying continuously. So there's a lot of time waiting for the games to reload. And so that kind of is a bit more optimal when you're playing. And yeah, HP... Last story, I'll tell you quickly. HP didn't deliver my server. They phoned me. They said, "Ah, Mr. Angus, I was just phoning about this email you sent inquiring about your server." And I was like, "Yup." And it was like, "Yeah, we've canceled the order." I was like, "Why?" They were like, "We don't know." I was like, "Okay, thanks." "Do you wanna reorder?" I was like, "No, not from you. Bye." But actually, I did reorder from them. But I did it in a different way, so I can actually track the order this time, because last time I checked out as a guest. And so that should be delivered at some point.
14:24 Christopher Angus: So yeah, that's it for the video. I hope it goes through. Let's see if we've had any more closes. No. Oh yeah, we have. We've had five closes now. So P&L 406. I'm just ignoring the rebate because we're doing, as I said, a spread capture on close. And it's variable and random. So I'm not sure. And you can see here we're almost running a parity just... And I only started this at the beginning of the video. You saw the very first positions come on. I mean, it's kind of addictive looking at this report all the time because you... So you can see... Okay, so we're up now, like, we're like 30 quid.
15:25 Christopher Angus: So yeah, this is it. You can see it's placing, replacing, placing, replacing. And it's moving the orders around to different places. So if you've been hit in one place, you don't wanna go back in the same place because you wanna avoid the market exhaustion. And I guess I did enough talking yesterday with the video. So you kinda got a good gist on how this works. But yeah, let's have one more look. Oops. Let's see if we've got another close again come off. No. Alright, so I guess that's it and I'm gonna look for a trade, because one looks like it's gonna... Just about to hit. Not on this, VIX. Catch you later, bye.

00:00 Christopher Angus: Hello Mr. A just a quick video, take nine 'cause the other ones ran for like half an hour while I was talking through the market commentary. But it's so fucking dead that I was like, "There's just nothing happening, there's nothing to talk about." I'm gonna try and do this in like two minutes now, because the last one was 48 minutes and I've just scrapped it because fucking bollocks. So basically I just wanna talk through yesterday. Let's get this chart looking decent, alright. So yesterday this was... This is the... Go back one more day 'cause this was Monday, right? This was Monday nothing, nothing, nothing. This is kind of the time when you get interested. The bond market opens around here. The VIX came off and they went up about three ticks mark S&P didn't reflect that, there was no trade, it came back down there and it just closed. There was just nothing to do on that day. Yesterday there was... It looked as though perhaps there was an opportunity. So if you look around this area where it gets a bit choppy this is when the market... This is when the bonds open. And in the markets you know pre-market and all that kind of stuff, and obviously the open at 2:30, but this is really when you start warming up, but you can see nothing happened, it was flat all day and then it popped three ticks, but the thing to notice here it popped at 8:00 so one hour before the close and it went up one tick and then you would probably wanna...
01:39 Christopher Angus: If you were even considering getting in there it would be there. So, now you've only got... Now you've gotta get past one tick to to beat the spread and break even and get one more tick and you would have had to hold this. This is actually past... Yes it's a quarter past nine just before that futures do properly close just to make one tick. There was no close. Okay, now here today was flat, flat, flat, flat, flat and we've had a big pop. No, actually a three-point pop. That's a three-point pop. Well, maybe a little more. Let's have a look here, 63 to 1503. So it's a four-point pop, alright? Except I'm not buying it. In the last video I said that I made a little hour and I said, "This is why we don't buy it here." Even though it's tempting we do a...
02:32 Christopher Angus: I did a little X and then I said, it's gonna... Then I drew the line and it broke through the line, but the video is like 48 minutes. Okay, and I'll do the same here. I wanna say I'll do the up arrow and then I'll do... I'll do a line here with a little X, alright. We don't buy it here because it will come back on you, alright? This is bound to hurt you. This market, it's really bound to hurt you. So a point to the video was just to go through the last couple of days and there's just fucking nothing going on. I really thought we could squeeze a trade out today because it's so tightly wound, but it looks like it's gonna go for the highs and that's just gonna... It's gonna be 20 points off the high. Fucking noisy man, on the streets, living in Oxford. Fucking cunts. Anyway excuse my language. So this is the VIX. I've gotta pop out S&P chart somewhere.
03:33 Christopher Angus: I have like all these pop out charts, which I'm laying over here as I'm trying to multi... Multi-manage everything with demos and stuff and I'm... Okay, can I pop this out here otherwise. Is this a pop-out. Come on, how do I pop you, no, alright, okay, here's the pop, right. So if we... The S&Ps come off here in the last hour, but if we make it through this line here, I drew this in the last video. The S&P will explode, right? So there's another chart, I can't pop it out, but we're actually on some support and I don't do technical analysis, but support resistance is the only thing like I actually have a reasonable amounts of respect for. All the other like penance and bull flags and all that other nonsense is just random fucking gibberish. Look, we're at this line here, yeah. We're gonna have a little rest here. We may go half a tick... Half a point down through here, but my... This is the S&P now it's not the VIX, the S&P is probably gonna rest here and then it's going back up.
04:56 Christopher Angus: I'll do a little arrow so we know. There it's going back up, alright? I could be wrong, I'm not in the trades I don't really give a shit, but this is why I'm not taking a trade, because I think it's going up and it's gonna keep driving the VIX down. So, like I said, I did all these arrows going, this is where the VIX is going, this is where the VIX is going, this is where the VIX is going and the VIX has come back up, but I feel very strongly here that the S&P is going to keep looking for higher highs. As I said, I could be wrong, it doesn't matter. If I'm wrong, I wish I was wrong because I'll just jump on a VIX trade. Please can I be wrong but I don't think I am. You know unfortunately, and I think that... I don't know if you can see I'm just make this a bit bigger.
05:50 Christopher Angus: This VIX will keep... This VIX like I said, I'm not buying it here, these little x's, I'm not buying it here, this is for the video, this is where the VIX is going. I did a little down arrows, this is where the VIX is going... We're going down. S&P is going up, right? We're having a little rest on the line. Just a bit tired. I could be wrong, hope I am 'cause we'd make some money.
06:13 Christopher Angus: But I don't think I am. Alright, so I'm just gonna make this a little smaller so I can keep an eye on it while I talk through this video, 'cause I'm gonna have to cut this soon so I can actually concentrate 'cause I'm... It will be a very shit video, 'cause I'll stay, I'll just stop talking. This is this system, autonomous, places its own trades, takes its own trades off. Put that VIX chart back on, places its own trades, put that... Determines how much profit to make. We trading, you can see is around 55 orders waiting to go to momentum, volume, things that, when there's a big volume spike and a momentum spike, we get in the way, we take a few points and then we get out. At the moment, it's running around one-to-one, so worth every point we make, every pound we make, we lose a pound, but we get the rebate.
07:10 Christopher Angus: Over time, if you take a snapshot in time, it may be a little bit out, maybe a little bit up, but on average, that's kind of where we work, that's what we... And so the thing is run-able at the moment. And basically we'll probably start running it pretty soon. So, I'm not just to pull it off although it's gonna disappear. I'll just show you. This is actually a VIX things. This is so I can get into positions and get out, pretty quickly, especially if the market's moving quickly, you don't wanna go full ball in straight at the same time. This is a very much more sophisticated version of that but I can do this for many other instruments that's purely for the VIX. If I wanted to run a bunch of hedges if I was really unsure of the market, I could have a bunch of scaling hedges that were going up and you can see it's only the demo, but it works out how much I need to buy and if I wanted to do a profit target according to this, you can see it's given me the correct profit target as well.
08:15 Christopher Angus: And I can drag these around I can make new groups and I can do all sorts of really really awesome things. And this is if I want a create hedges, if I just want open one sided legs, I could open template, so it's really quick. It's a very, very, very robust, powerful system that I've created over several years, at, you know at incredible cost really, not only coding cost, but experience cost. Okay, so there's an order that's just arrived and I'll just put that in. Now I rebooted everything just for the video. So this has been running for about an hour. So these trades haven't really had time to work there way out of the system. This is called the baby step strategy. So, you can see where all the big negatives are negative, negative, negative. That's why I just killed the system just so I could make a decent video, so we could start again, it'll be pretty clear. So if I just highlight these quickly, so we can see where we are.
09:25 Christopher Angus: Okay, so that's that. But you can see a side work. I just killed it for the video and the demo. Every single one of these as a winner, every single one, there's no losers here, none, out of everything today. From... Not today, that's from yesterday. Zero, everything's positive, doesn't make losses, doesn't make losses, doesn't make losses. And we were holding somewhat big losing positions here. Some of them have been open, as you can see, for close to well 20 hours, 20-30 hours. I think there. No, it's not 30 hours, that's like a 24 hours, I don't know. None of these would have closed for a loss. And that's just the strategy. So we've been running it for about an hour and it's like hardly any of the positions have opened or closed.
10:25 Christopher Angus: Basically, these are all the positions that hit minus three because three have already closed. And we just got to wait and see. So, so far up like 300 and something odd. Obviously, the P&L is not that good, but as you open a position you go into a big negative PL because you pay the spread, so you're always starting off in the negative PL position. So as the system starts, it doesn't look that good. But this is basically how it works. On average, if I'm running it all the time, it can probably make 200 or 300 trades a day and I'm running it very, very conservatively. I could probably jack it up to a thousand if we really wants to go full gun of it. But, it is better than delta neutral in terms of P&L. It is making money and where there's a lot of fine tuning yet to come. So yeah, I'm really, really excited by this, actually. Of course, it's... I give it like 60%, 60% hope, which is high. I've been working on this for weeks now, so. I've also got a bunch of other strategies which look really promising as well, 'cause once you start thinking about things searching and do other things, the ideas start to flow quite quickly. I'll put the VIX chart back on anyway.
12:00 Christopher Angus: So... Looking at the VIX like I said I don't believe the VIX is going up and as I said I hope I'm wrong we can make some money but we need to see a drive up now let the bulls get a bit exhausted take some profit, whatever they are gonna do which will then let the VIX pop half a point like a full pop not this like one tick every hour grind up because when in the slow moving markets, you do not know what's going on so if I put a trade on now and it's moving so slowly, there is no way to... The whole market's just locked. I'll put the S&P back on here... This is like two hours right this is two hours. That's 13 to 17, that's like four points and the two hours before it was the same its like a 4 point range that the markets are locked stiff. But I think this is the S&P chart.
13:22 Christopher Angus: Okay, it looks like it is breaking down, oh it is come off it's come off. I just say it is having a little rest on the line that's the support line and it's having another little rest but I would be very very surprised if we break through there substantially and I am drawing another line here at 13, that's four points below. If we make it through here and hold down here, then we got a chance to make some money today. But I really would be surprised if that happens very, very surprised. No we're struggling this week man we are struggling I feel fucking awful about it. I feel fucking awful but I can't, there is no point if I put on a trade we're just gonna end up losing a tick so you know what, there's no point, there's no point. I got to work on the other shit at the moment so here we are wonder if we made any more trades, this is called the baby step strategy I made this little report there, no nothing yet. Alright, let's see VIX is tick back down VIX again these arrows I say the VIX is going down. I'll even make them red, make them red, make them red, make it red. I need to go to a fucking bar or something, 'cause this is fucking driving me crazy... Right.
14:58 Christopher Angus: Okay, so let's put the S&P back on, remember having the rest on the line I said up what's going on, We are going back up if we can get through this. Why am I talking like this like im fucking doing some kind of tutoring video I have no idea. I apologize for that if we can get through this little area here, the S&P will explode guaranteed. If we hold above there for a few minutes and then we close above there, tomorrow, if not today, we will be pounding new record highs on the back of the worst jobs report in five years, on the back of the worst corporate earnings in years. Like I think this must be share buy backs. I don't even have know if Bloomberg turned on because they don't know what is going on either and so they're just making it up. They're just making it up. So this is the S&P we're watching here. I obviously, I've got a whole bunch of other stuff which I can see out of my left eye, which well not on my right monitor, which you can't see which helps me see what's going on, but fuck these pop-up charts they are going all over my things. Basically can pop the windows out, open positions, charts like I am doing here so I can move them across but the more you do that, the more they kind of end up floating back on to other pages and they're just obscuring all my other stuff and it's pissing me off.
16:29 Christopher Angus: I am sorry for all the moaning by the way, I kinda think I'm funny with my monologues but I think it comes across as very negative so I apologize. It's not meant that way, it's just meant to be funny, and also I'm a bit frustrated of course and I feel bad because I need to make some money for you guys and for me. You know, I think I don't like when it's like this, I don't like it. I don't care about... You know I don't need the money but still it's like the compounding thing, and it's annoying, it's annoying. Anyway. So, I'll sum this up.
17:21 Christopher Angus: The last two days have been shit, including today, and I really thought we could get a trade in and I'm looking very hard for one now. I'll try and squeeze a tick or two out if I can. If it gets too close to eight and we're doing what we did yesterday, I'll just have to stand on the side again. It's been a long time since we did three trades, three days in a row, with nothing. I can't sell the VIX at this level because if you saw what happened on Friday, the market sneezes and the VIX will explode up. It's just not worth the risk. If the VIX pops four points and we are...
18:02 Christopher Angus: It would cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. It would be really fucking ugly. So I can't sell it at this level. It's not worth the risk. It's better to try and wait and just grab a few ticks if I can. Selling it at this level, and anything happens, it would just be, it's like double-digit loss. Do you know what I mean? Or high single digits, in one move, and it's just not worth it. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. So I hope I'm wrong and I think the S&P breaks from here, but I don't think it will.
18:41 Christopher Angus: A high frequency trading strategy, again, is an autonomous system. It makes its own decisions of where to place the orders. We're basically market making. So we're taking both sides of the market all the time. We are making more than I'm losing at the moment, but there's still a way to go. I think we're about 60% of the way, And too, I'm like on a high level, maybe of high momentum, high velocity to two, three, 400 trades a day. It could go higher, but that's kinda the comfortable level. And that's kind of it. You can see the trades going on and off. I think, these ones will probably go off here. These ones will go off. There's one that's come on. I wonder how... I'll just have one more look, see if anything else has closed. Yeah. So we've had, since I reset the system, what about hour and a half ago? We've made, how much is that 110, 264, 297. I don't know; like 400 or 500 quid. The rebate. We can see here actually we've made -10p thus far in the last 24 hours. But that's because I forced through a whole lot of trades and the rebate and the profit and loss are nearly identical. 121 positions closed and I've just been cocking with it and I forced a whole bunch of positions closed I would never do usually because I'm trying to do the video.
[pause]
20:57 Christopher Angus: Yeah. So this makes money. It needs to be fine tuned to make more. 60% probability, autonomous. I showed you the other stuff, I think, or this is like the ninth take. I can't remember what I've been saying. Because people have been phoning me, after being interrupted, the video's, the last video's 48 minutes, but it was just so nothing going on. Like I did the arrows and then that's all that happened in the last, over an hour now. I had to cut the video and just restart because it was no good. It was no good. So, I'll end the video now because otherwise it's just going to be more of the same. I'll just show you the S&P. Remember I said we're going to have a little rest on the line at the arrow and we are going up again, and we're going up. Can you see that? It's the S&P. We're going up, baby. Yeah, we may explode here, and the VIX is going to explode down. And that's why we can't buy the VIX, can't buy the VIX. I'm gonna end the video now 'cause I'm going mad. Bye.

00:01 Christopher Angus: Hello Mr. A, just a quick video. I'm recapping Friday before the open. Sorry it's late, I had a pretty difficult weekend. Went on a date, she came back, she threw up all over my house, I ended up cleaning up vomit from 1 AM until 5 AM, then asked her to leave. And then I was in bed all day because I was so fucking tired. So, I basically didn't get out of bed all day because I had a drunk in my house. I need to consider carefully how drunk people are. Didn't even get to fool around with her, just cleaned up sick. Really nice. That's my life, clean up other people's mess. Anyway, enough of the anecdotal comedy. I want to just run through what happened Friday, it was a very good day. Job's report was very weak, only 38,000 jobs added, even though there's the Verizon union strike thing going on, which really decreased it, but it was really unexpected, it drove the S&P down, I'm sure you saw.
01:09 Christopher Angus: As that came out, I basically hit the buy button because it was so fucking low and the market just started melting down. I thought we were gonna have a massive day. But there's so much interest in keeping the S&P high at the moment, that the big money just bought it back. Super interesting to watch and very unbelievable. A little bit frustrating because I thought we're gonna have another break down. I was kind of edgy at that time on the second trade though. I'm gonna talk you through that in a minute, because I didn't wanna get caught on the wrong side. So two buys, you can see this is like maybe 30 seconds after it opened, somewhere around there. Missed, obviously, a bit of it because it moves so quickly and also you need to make sure that it's actually gonna go in the right direction. So, probably gave away like in three tics, and then got out of it probably two tics earlier as well, so that was four tics. Because you don't know where it's gonna turn and when you have these very, very sharp moves up you can start seeing it really going up. That's where everyone's puking, so the losers are just jumping out and the market's gonna turn, and then you get out and wait for the next one, which is exactly what I did and it happened again.
02:26 Christopher Angus: Again, there was somewhat of a sharp move up here and I got a little bit nervous and jumped out. That was something like two tics, so four plus two. And then I wanted to wait to see the pull back, but it just started grinding lower and lower and lower, and lower. And basically I guess I could have taken another tic later on, but it's like I seem to do all the work in the first hour or two, and then it's like, "Look at this, it's just pathetic." I guess, I could have just kept scalping one or two tics, but after the big moves, you wanna see another big move and it kind of, I guess, messes with your head a little bit because you're not really geared up to take those single tics, so you might end up over-holding them and scratching them. And on a Friday, you definitely don't wanna go into the weekend. So I was a bit disappointed that the market came back so strongly, but still we made 0.6 plus three, but it's like close to 6.5. I thought I would actually have done seven, but it's six, so two plus four.
03:40 Christopher Angus: Today might be difficult, because the S&P is still grinding and it's fucking grinding higher. We're only 40 points off the all-time high now, like just nuts. I'm actually ready with the VIX if we move now, well I've always been ready, but I'm kind of super expecting something to happen kind of soon because it's not like I'm kind of half-ass with one eye on it now. It's like something's gonna happen soon within a month or two, I don't know, that's just the way I feel today. It's a Monday, I had a shitty weekend, whatever. But I really am feeling like this is just an enormous bubble, more than anything after seeing what happened on Friday and how even really bad job report, worst in like, I don't know, five years or something. Doesn't seem to want to make the market break down. And that's just missed the bubble.
04:40 Christopher Angus: So, that's Friday. Made a decent amount, do a screenshot here while I remember, made a decent amount. I'm not expecting to have an easy day today. I can't sell it. Oh, that's one thing I wanted to say. I was like, as I said to you in Skype, "This is why we don't sell it at these low levels, because you get these tremendous cracks and because the market is so tightly wound, so fucking tightly wound, I can't even explain." The VIX will pop and it'll pop like several percentage points in one move, or several full points on the VIX, which is obviously like 5%. It could go ugly. I really am not saying I won't sell it but I'll sell it much much smaller, and I'm much more hesitant to do so. Because you don't have any time to think, you don't have time to react even if you get into bad situation you have to hedge it off. It's a situation which, in hindsight you would say, "I wish I hadn't traded." So, unless I'm completely sure today what's gonna happen or I need to see a pull back which will drive the VIX up and I can buy a little lower. So I'll buy it again when it comes lower from after it's popped.
06:03 Christopher Angus: At the very least that's what I'd wanna do. Selling it now, there'd have to be pretty strong circumstances to make me wanna do that, like it starts trending down rapidly. Not this kind of grind down one tic hour kind of thing, or half a tic an hour on average. So that's kind of it, not much else to say, went on a date, thought I was gonna get lucky. In fact, I got extremely unlucky and that was my personal life. I have to say I do find it funny because you couldn't imagine something else going wrong like that. I could imagine lots of things, but it was just unreal. She was really hot as well. I was super gutted, so, so gutted. Unreal, anyway. And otherwise, things are going good. Still working on my strategies, they are looking promising, nothing big to report there. But, I'll know by the end of the week if the likelihood's gonna be above 60%. At the moment, I'd say it's around 40% probability that we'll run the high-frequency strategy. And I guess that's it for today. I will do this video, upload it quickly, and do the sheets and send this across to you in about 30 minutes. Bye for now.

Crown Police never followed the money trail.
0 minutes 25 seconds: if volatility stays low might have to shift strategy to try to trade for scratch trades which monetize via rebate
1 minute 35 seconds: mentions plateuing of earnings & what he sees coming for next couple years. eventually the S&P & markets in general will break down & there will be 1 or 2 big pops in VIX.
2 minutes 25 seconds: will likely make a large amount of money in coming years across a few trades when market breaks. no liquidity problems now, but could perhaps could see lower yields when account hits around 20 million
3 minutes 40 seconds: has to be very certain a strategy will be safe before putting live because "there is so much money at play"
4 minutes 10 seconds: when a strategy works with backtesting without much change or curve fitting it is usually a very good sign
4 minutes 28 seconds: IG platform allegedly blocked API usage of test algorithm because new test algo made about 22,000 requests. suggests new algo when it goes live could make about 5,000 GBP in rebate per day using automated HFT algo.
6 minutes 45 seconds: will keep grinding away at VIX. over next 6 months there will be another new strategy added to the mix & another strategy over the subsequent 6 months
7 minutes 40 seconds: likes mean reverting trades & trades which can be hedged, likes trades where you can make large returns with low amounts of movement and low amounts of risk. likes to have a little and often approach. if it is little and often it is extremely low risk. you know, no home runs.
8 minutes 50 seconds: gives new HFT algo probability of going live over following 3 months like a 30% probability because wants to test extensively and make sure there is no problem with it
9 minutes 15 seconds: really thinks he can do 100 million over next 3 to 4 years
10 minutes 10 seconds: thinks returns are perhaps a bit below 1% a day
10 minutes 45 seconds: wants to keep diversifying so he can make the little from little and often even more little to further reduce risk
11 minutes 0 seconds: philosophy is PPC - protect precious capital & ARR - always reducing risk
11 minutes 20 seconds: if he had 10 strategies which worked like the VIX then rather than taking a 1% risk on a trade he'd take 1/10th of a percent risk on each trade
12 minutes 0 seconds: sees smooth progress up to 25 million point and has a bit of anxiety about how he will handle the plateauing when the account grows to that size. return rate likely to drop 1/10th of a percent every few million beyond that point
00:00 Christopher Angus: Hello Mr A. Excuse me. Just a quick video. Nothing really to see today so the screen's black. You can just listen. Obviously, I was waiting for Yellin to speak so we can get some action. I guess first thing I wanna say is, if the volatility remains very, very, very low like this, I'll have to change the strategy a little bit and basically trade for straight out rebate. Obviously, you won't make as much but you'll probably won't have many days where we don't make anything. It's not a strategy I do out of preference, but if there's no break and she doesn't want to raise, we'll get something today for sure. But if there's no... If the market just keeps grinding higher and higher, the VIX is gonna keep grinding lower, daily take's gonna be lower and I will have to take a much more aggressive strategy and basically go for one or two ticks per trade, but multiple trades, and basically earn through the rebate. There's a million ways to make a million dollars and this is just another way. But if she does raise, and she will raise soon, before September, well, hopefully it'll be June, and the VIX will pop and we'll make some money. That's that.
01:33 Christopher Angus: I just wanted discuss, obviously, the future as well with the plateauing of the earnings, and the next couple of years is the way I see them. Obviously, we're both expecting, at some point, a market breakdown of the S&P and the markets in general at some point, at least in some kind of small scale, even a pop of 20 points in the VIX would be incredible. So that's highly likely to happen. So, over the next couple of years I expect that we'll have one or two pops which will be great, whether they are 60 points or 20 points or 30 points, I don't know. And once they go up, we ride them down, it's always highly volatile so it's good both ways. So if I had to say in the next two years, we'll probably make probably a very, very large amount of money over just a few trades. Also, obviously, we don't have any liquidity problems at the moment and I only really foresee stuff happening once we kinda get to the 20 million, not, maybe not, maybe a little bit higher, but somewhere around that mark, the yields will fall incrementally.
02:57 Christopher Angus: So from, like say... Let's just call it simple. I know that you're not making this kind of money at the moment but, say we're doing 1% a day, at 20 million we might expect to make like 0.9 and at 25 0.8, at 30 0.7, and so on, until it gets quite low. At the same time though, I am working on other strategies all the time. I wanna diversify anyway to make money in other directions with other strategies, so there's more consistent money and it's not we're all relying on one horse. And I have many strategies that I've made, but I need to be very, very sure of it, because there's so much money at play, that it's gonna be reliant and consistent, and even if it doesn't make as much as the VIX, it runs on the side as well. So I'm working on something at the moment. Like I said, it's showing a tremendous amount of promise. And usually, when things work quite quickly and you don't have to tweak them and stuff, you don't have to do too many changes to the overall strategy to make it work over many time periods and when you back test it, you're not curve fitting, it just works. It's usually a really good sign.
04:22 Christopher Angus: So I'm running a high frequency strategy at the moment. Ran into some problems, on the demo obviously, with IG today actually, because we made like 22,000 requests and they blocked us, so that was pre-market. Obviously, it's when you try it out, because you can't be blocked during market hours because that's kind of a disaster 'cause it takes a little while for them to unlock you when you promise not to DDOS them again. So that's showing a lot of promise and that would make a very consistent amount of money, because I can forecast basically how many trades we'll do in a day. Obviously, it will go up and down, but on average, say we do 500 trades a day, I can then say, "Okay, we'll make like five grand a day just in rebate, very consistent money." And times that by 220, 250 days a year, 'cause it's totally automated, I guess that's, I don't know, 1.25 million off the top of my head. Something close to that. And that's just the straight up rebate.
05:34 Christopher Angus: So I guess if I have to sum this video up, it's obviously the VIX is good, we'll continue to grind away money, maybe a little inconsistently if the volatility remains low. If nothing happens today... Well, we'll make money today, that's for sure. But if she doesn't raise today, next week we'll... It's Memorial week as well, so it's going to be very quiet, but say, come Tuesday, if the VIX isn't coming back up, we'll have to go really to almost a rebate only strategy, just while we wait for the volatility to pick up. So we're looking for zero profit really, or one tick. And that works, you know, I've done it before. And it's a little easier, I guess, but it just doesn't pay that well. But, if we're making one or two ticks a day equivalent, why not? But I don't want to mix up what I'm doing trying to actually play for three or four or 10 ticks a day, when we don't need to. Just do rebate only, because it's a different animal entirely. So that's Tuesday's plan.
06:48 Christopher Angus: And again, to summarize, over the next couple of years, we'll have a few big days. We'll continue grinding the VIX. And over the next six months, I guess, we'll have at least one new strategy come to fruition. And then the six months after that, another strategy comes to fruition. It's very hard to predict how much they'll pay. But it's all gearing up for when we start plateauing at like around the 20 to 25 million mark, and the yields start to drop quite quickly. So I think it's gonna be a good run upto that point. And I have to really get on and keep working my strategies until then, because once it gets to 20 million, and... It's easy to make money with relatively lower amounts of money. It's much more difficult to make money when you have large amounts of money. So I have my... The characteristic trades I like. I like mean reversing trades. I like trades that you can hedge. I like trades where you can make large amounts of money, with small amounts of movement, with very low amounts of risk. Don't we all?
08:00 Christopher Angus: So, I think, as well, is I like to have the little and often approach, which leads you to the large amounts of money off the small amount of movement, because if it's little and often the risk is always extremely low; no home runs. And that's why we're trialling this HFT strategy. It's really not characteristically HFT that'll make 100,000 trades today. This is more like 1000, but I mean, you couldn't do it manually. It's just too much, 'cause you've got to manage them as well. So, it looks hopeful, but what's the probability of it coming to fruition, in the the next three months? I don't know, maybe like 30-40%, because at some point, we may discover some problem while we're testing it, and I guess that's the point in testing.
08:58 Christopher Angus: But really, to make a summary, or the summary, it's the VIX will continue to go. We'll have a few home runs, or at least one, I'm sure of it, and we will... I'll continue to find new strategies. So, to mitigate some of the plateau later on, like I said on Telegram last night, I really think that I can do 100 million in the next like three to four years. And I think I'd rather go for that kind of number.
09:28 Christopher Angus: And if you want to cash out at that point, no, because you don't see any point in having any more money 'cause there probably won't be, then, no harm done. And I wasn't misunderstanding you yesterday. I know you don't want to cash out now and you want to cash out some of your other stuff. But I was saying, of course, at that point in two or three years, when I'm saying "Okay, we've got to 50. I want to keep going." You might want to say well, "I'm kind of done or done to some degree." So, that's my plan for now. Everything seems to be working. It's just, I guess, going to my plan, it's a little slow because of volatility at the moment. But I think on average, if I average it out, probably is close to 1% a day, maybe a little bit lower, it's just when volatility is like this, it's horrible. But I think, once... After the first raise, the first announcement of the raise, you're gonna be banging out 1 and 2% every single day; every single day. And that'll make up for the slow days.
10:27 Christopher Angus: So that's my plan for the future, which isn't really that exciting. There's no grand things here. It's just more of the same and bigger amounts of money, with more trades, but still not changing the fundamental ethos of little and often. And that's really why I want to diversify because then I can make the little even more little and lower the risk even more. As I said to you before, my two philosophies are; PPC, protect precious capital, and always reducing risk; ARR. Those are the two philosophies I live by. So I'm always trying to make the trade smaller. Always thinking about stuff that I can do, because for example, if I had 10 strategies equivalent of the VIX, then instead of taking 1% risk on a trade, I'd take one 10th of a percent risk on each trade, which is obviously much better.
11:40 Christopher Angus: And so, that's what I'm striving for. And finding the new strategies is fun. It's frustrating and disappointing when they don't work, but I have a very high degree of confidence that we will get where we wanna go, and we'll achieve it in the kind of timeframes that we wanna achieve it. But of course I do have a small amount of anxiety when it comes to around to the $25 million point, the pound point. How are we going to mitigate the plateauing, and how severe is it gonna be? I think it's probably gonna be like 0.1% every few million; every two and a half to 5 million and the curve will flatten until it... It's never gonna go flat, but it may go down to, like say a quarter of a percent. And that last stretch might take a while. I think it'll probably be the slowest point.
12:42 Christopher Angus: But, if I have a bunch of other strategies grinding out 0.1% a day, and I have by that time four or five of them, plus maybe at the say 35 million point, pound point, I'm at likes 0.3, and I have three or four other things grinding out 0.1, we're not that far off where we are now. So, that's kind of the plan. It's not, as I said, it's not the blow your head off plan. It's just more bricks building the house. And as the one bricklayer gets tired, we hire new bricklayers to take his place.
13:26 Christopher Angus: So, I guess that's it. I'm gonna wait for the Yellin thing in about hour and a half or so. And I'll let you know how I get on just before the close. I've got Zara this weekend, so I won't be around much straight after the close. I'll just tell you how we did and call it a day. But that's it for now. Thanks A.
