Hello guys, I have some more news from "whaleclub.co"
I am learning and improving my skills everyday and because they did so many things right design-wise, I stayed a bit longer.
I made mistakes and lost 80% of my investment while terribly upset and not having learnt the value of waiting confirmation
from the market before commiting to a trade. I also learnt about several market behaviors besides the one I knew well.
Improving my backtesting code, I went on and analyzed some data. They do not offer historical OHLC so the only way is
to plug in their API and build your own bars. You do not have volume information though. Maybe it is because they are a fake
exchange, I do not know.
Yesterday I filed a bug report that their server sent a bunch of null characters after a gap, corrupting the time stamp field.
I made some suggestions in the mail and I also demanded that they treat me better, you know the usual stuff (read above).
Guess what they did ? Obviously they revoked my API keys and I get those messages now :
"No JSON object could be decoded"
"You've been blocked from making API requests"
It is only a matter of time before they forcefully close my account and steal all I have left.
But you know what, it is still the BEST beginner platform by far. It is a shame they can not handle some aspects of the
simplified interface they provide internally. That's probably why they end up seizing people accounts and banning everyone
who criticize or actually give information and useful feedback. Which is actually perplexing...
...considering their reputation by the end of this year will be tarnished greatly.
I guess they don't care as long as they have the money
BTCBTCBTCAlso I can provide a nice picture of someone doing +436% in a single trade for the lulz.

Once there, I will record myself in a video. Potentially live theft of customer bitcoins.
If they do it there will be proof on YouTube.
BONUSOkay I can't resist. I gonna screenshot my current position. I lost 0.0300 getting stuck in a short on GOLD at the close yesterday.
Nothing between 23:00 and 00:00, then obviously there was a spike at the open. I didn't know the market was closing and reopening...
Here goes:
