You're using too many numbers. Maybe trading is mathematical and scientific for you, but for others it's more like art.
In seriousness, even those who trade without stops actually DO have stops, e.g. 20% of account. I have to say, if I was looking to invest in a trader and it took me more than 3 minutes to work out how much of his account he risked per trade, I'd walk out.Yea. Understood, but like i said. If i asked a stupid prop trader what he risks and he said he doesn't lose more than 2k. We could work from there. My trading isnt mathematical at all. I don't always use stops straight away, but i know how much im happy to lose in any given trade and scale accordingly.
If Fayalac said i risk like say 50$ on a trade in an attempt to make 150$, and my account balance is 2000$ most of the time. But he said he risks 0.3% runs trades 600 points against himself and makes 30%+ a week, which doesn't add up.
