£1500 to £17,000 in 2 days - Here is how it happened.

Someone else on this sub posted this: [£1.5k to £17,000 in 2 days. Is this real? : r/trading212](https://www.reddit.com/r/trading212/comments/1t5s8ud/15k_to_17000_in_2_days_is_this_real/)

I love a good investigation when it comes to one. So I thought I'd just make this post to make everyone aware.

First of all, yes - this really did happen, someone really did turn 1.5k into 17k on Trading212 - around 2 weeks ago. Search "R4MA73" on tiktok - he posted a video about it and he is the guy that OP seems to be referring to.

So it looks like the guy that owns that tiktok account also owns (or is part of) a group called Atlantic. I joined that group so you didn't have to. This is what I found:

• Yes, they correctly predicted $CAR, $MXL, $AKAN, $CAPR, $AIXI and a bunch of other winners.
• They also had losses ($QNCX & $BYND) which is important to remember. So no, it's not blue skys and green grass all the time.
• They mainly get big winners on CFDs (which involves leverage, DO NOT DO CFD IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS!) but also seem to be doing good with some normal ISA/Invest stocks

I've only joined for a few hours, but I've verified the timestamp and it seems to all check out. HOWEVER! They may be using insider information or even manipulating stocks illegally, so it's important you know the risks as I personally believe it's impossible to co-incidently time stocks like AKAN etc, especially when there is no company related PR. Maybe I'm just overly suspicious, who knows.

Would be interesting to get other people's thoughts on this sub.
