Well done. What were you trading?
so Gens, those Chaff futures I put you onto are still working out well eh ?
Well done. What were you trading?
it means the amount i risked was up 2000% (inc using profits of that position to add to it)
Someones got to pay me...I had the worst trading day of my trading career today.
I lost 5000% of my money. :-0Really really **** day:!:
I hope all you lucky *******s out there share my pain.![]()
% return on what though. It wasn't a single position, you made several trades adding as it moved in your favour.
2000% gain on a single trade would mean that, if you risked 5% on the trade (quite high) and you had a stop of 20 points (reasonably tight), then your trade would have to move 8000 points. So your 2000% is pretty meaningless to me.
If you mean you just got a R:R of 20:1, then that would be good on 1 trade (still nothing incredible), but since you added to your position, that then alters the R:R so I have no idea what you actually mean. Same goes for that 750%.

you lost 5000% on your position ? ouch man
I'm sure genics won't mind too much if I let people know the original amount was well over 50k - he just bought me the fire engine I've always wanted for suggesting the trade so I'm pretty pleased too![]()
