It's fake isn't it? I thought the account nr which was shown when he got at margin pop-up was DUxxxxxx, which is the IB paper trading.
And that account nr was different to his real one as well... (which is easily visible in one of his earlier videos on youtube). In those videos you also notice he has fairly small positions... maybe the biggest was 1k x $20? And he was aiming to make 90k yearly... 2 years ago... and now he put's on a >15k short delta (ATM was about -12k) which equals to 1.8 mln short in dollar amount???
I first assumed it was fake.
But then reading the story, the psychological anguishes etc, I wondered if there were some truths in it.
