    At the very least, one should have 10 trades.

    (10 times bought & times sold/vice versa, whole portfolio made out of TSLA/BTC/NIO/etc. - doesn't count)

    Let's be honest.

    Over 100%, but as that's only worth 5K, due to loads of losing streaks based on a 20 hour week puts me on $4.80 per hour, living the minimum wage dream or what LOL

    If that's true & you're finally killing it, then i am happy for you, because it's well deserved, after years of your endeavors.

    Why no TSLA?
    If one had the juevos to see it, buy it, hold it, it counts.
    Does anything else other than results really matter?

    I'm either killing it, or it's killing me, only real difference is I retreat to Demo pretty quick when it starts killing me so don't give back too much of the profits most of the time, rather than all and more.

    Wednesday last week, I was killing it, Thursday it was killing me.

    Consistent, even if consistently crap would be a good start LOL

    Trying different method this week, moving away from old range method.

    If the whole portfolio wasn't made out of just a TSLA, then it's ok.
    If there was only one position, i associate that with cult type of investing, where's a belief/faith takes over above of actual numbers, balance sheets & etc.
    Not to speak about risk management.

    Anyways, you're free to drop vote under +200%.
    After all, it's anonymous.

    Just above 1.6 million fx-trades gave 9.43197 % during 2020.

    Not exactly what I hoped for when the year started, but still not too bad everything taken into consideration

  8. Any trader - someone who manages risk - should know that absolute returns is pretty much meaningless. Maybe the poll is just to pique an interest(?) but what if I told you I made 100% returns.. but didn't tell you I put the whole account on 1 trade in a 1:1 all or nothing play.

  10. It wouldn't change the sentiment behind the statement I made, that absolute returns are meaningless by themselves. But fair enough, I didn't read that first post and used a bad example.
