New to trading

Hey guys I'm new to the trading world and I met someone through a friend that said he trades for a living. He said he would teach me some stuff to help me out. He sent me a screen shot of one of his platforms. Is this real? Hard to believe...

 

$36 million in buying power? Looks like a simulator to me...

 

you can see the 'D' from the word demo at the bottom of the screen

 

I didnt think Tradestation offered demo accounts? or simulated trade.

 

Might be a stretch but I found this:

I don't care either way

 

With all of the backtesting required for traders who use their automated capabilities, you'd better believe Tradestation offers demo accounts ...

 

Well shows how much i knew when i had an account with them a couple years back

 

Simple. Have you seen his house, his car, etc.. With a day of over $180k he should be living large. If he is living in a one bedroom shack, than its fake.

 

Haven't seen any of his apts or houses, cars etc...

So this is most likely a demo account?

 

..its definitely a demo acct. Go over his house and let us know if he lives in a "OMG this place is awesome" place or he lives in some regular and/or not so nice place. And if he were really making that kind of money he sure as hell would be driving at least a $100k car.....
