Larry Williams did it once in 1987 winning "World Trading Championship". He started with 10K, made 11300% in a year trading futures. It can be done with highly leveraged products as futures or options. It is insane but possible and as far as I know it nobody bested him since 1987. One has to be not only the best in the world but I guess the best of the generation. And there is luck of course.
Like anything in life, you need to be focused on the process tweaking and monitoring. The trading business is a business. My advice to you is, trade for your statistics, not your profit. There are maby setups that can be prifitable, but very undesirable statistically. Improve your statistics over tume and profits will naturally follow.
I turned 6k all i had into nothing with Puts a long time ago, if i had the sense to think its a trap go Calls within a week my account would of been way over 100k
Accept for a few sensible replies reading this whole thread is like watching someone high on drugs.You know looking for the next big "hit".
Ya like......"How do I turn from being a Walmart night shift shelf stacker to brain surgeon within a year instead of 10 years?"
I turned Nothing into six figures over about 5 years trading binary options. Back in the early 2000s a spread bet company (IG) gave me a credit account. I don't think they offer credit accounts anymore. Back in those days Binaries were so badly priced with much tighter spreads, easy money.
I know somebody that went from almost zero to over 100 billion. He is the richest man on earth, although not officially. He had a very good risk management as he is still alive. His opponents had not such a good risk management as many of them are dead.
