hey dude...maybe you shouldnt post live whilst you are still getting to grips with your style..It can be hard washing dirty laundry in public......maybe get settled than come back and post....

Good luck

Might be a good idea. If you are a complete newbie, best to get 6 months breaking even under your belt, learn the lessons, set most/all of your trading strategy, and then get back on here.

Otherwise, Im happy to flip my coin and let you know if it turns up Heads/Tails each morning...

Good luck!

Someone once said i've had enough **** you all etc etc, then 3 posts later he came back as if nothing had happened!

What a chump you are......all the positive things to talk about and you still chose this..DICK

Why dont we talk about trading:!:....o yeh forgot......you got nothing to say about that

Well you can have exceptional returns if you have a good edge, its just a function of the risk you are willing to take.

I generally run at the aggressive end of the spectrum, because I believe pushing a big edge while you still can is the optimum strategy for success.

Naturally this comes with an increased risk of ruin, but thats the same in any walk of life.

50% per month, yup you can do it if you have talent, but unless you are trading very high frequency be aware you will likely have multiple 50-100% drawdowns on capital though throughout your trading career..

by the way you are talking you really strike me as either an immature adult or a very young kid or maybe even both?!

why dont we all stop slamming spiritbeing for his contributions but why dont you (spiritbeing) stop coming across so childish?

peace out.

You are right, I should rise above it. However on T2W i chose to mirror the behaviour i receive.

The majority has been very positive.

As for being an immature adult...im not denying that!

 

[munchiedude]

nothing wrong with a b it of immaturity i suppose, but i still think 50%/month is a sick return that isnt achievable consistently without over leveraging your account with zero risk/money management in which case, a few bad trades in a row could wipe the account out.

Still think i dont know what im doing?

 

[Pi3141]

is there any particular reason for choosing 50% return a month? Why not 23%, 46.5%, 79%? - Just curious

Hi Pi3141

Dont know really

I suppose thats the benchmark i have for myself......But im willing to take whatever the market is willing to give me.

I think a better title would have been:

"Day traders making 500pips+ per month. Lets talk money management":?:

I only told it like it was. Now you say you want to take a different tact but come back with personal insults - again!

You first! All i read from you are dreams.

Maybe i'm wrong and the next time you go off in a girlie huff and come back you'll be earning the 50% a month you want to earn. If so then well done.

Won't change my opinion of you though.

 

[SanMiguel]

30% is possible but 10% is more realistic.
Having done this a while, I'm of the opinion that risking 1% per trade and short term swing trading is a better way to manage risk, prevent overtrading, limit the amount of spread paid as a percentage relative to the overall trade (1-2% max).
I haven;t yet seen a graph on trade2win showing an equity downswing within an overall uptrend, people don;t model it that way much.
