  2. Yes, for over one and half year i have been trading on the rules laid by the company
    never have i violated a daily drawdown or monthly drawdown.

    When i had a low win rate strategy, i would reduce my risk to a significant level so even if i have 5 losses in a row I'm not down bad
    keeping in the game and another day to make up the losses

    Now that i have a better win rate i risk sufficient to be making good % even with a target at 3R

  3. Possible to make very good money having reasonable targets for both. 50% win rate at 3R trades is very profitable long term if you can do it.

  4. Well you get to chose that based on the strategy you trade
    i have learnt of many mentors in the past couple years.
    based on your style of trading you can defo pick which one you wanna trade the live market off

  5. Millionaire

    Millionaire

    Both would make you extremely really rich, very quick.
    Both are also cloud cooku land.

    10R winners are rare, not going to get them anywhere near 30% of the time.
    2R-3R are more common but nowhere near as common as 70 to 80% of the time.

    Even 1R winners 80% of the time will make you very rich very quick, but even thos is very hard to achieve.

  6. this is a stupid question. you can't know ex-ante returns like this, or everyone who buys otm calls would be trillionaires.

    in real life, you must use actual data based upon your real performance -- how good are you at identifying opportunities that make 10x within your time horizon? what does your win rate actually look like?
