MaxDD<Annual Return isnt much of a feat. I know plenty of guys who are running 3-10x their risk(maxDD) year after year. You are not going to find...
dest is right, mav got a job at a trading firm and he is most likely no longer allowed to post here. The person who owns the firm used to post...
ugh, that's just gibberish. The OP is talking about an account size not capital. Yes, a nuance, i agree.
Not necessarily. It's not about how much you have in the account but how much capital you have overall. If you are willing to recapitalize the...
20-50% on accounts up to a mil or two is very reasonable and unless you can make at least that you shouldn't even bother with trading and pursue a...
Contrary to the popular belief on this forum i gotta say that consistency and grinding it out is overrated. The key is in realizing your edge and...
