  1. Another way of looking at it:

    1. +50%
    2. + 50%
    3. -50%

    2. +5%

  2. Hmm. Unless I'm mistaken, Account B will only make $500 a day. But even if it were $5,000 as you say, I think I'd prefer Account A if it can be readily compounded.

  4. The real question is not how much per day, but how consistently.

    If you made 1% a day consistently - and assuming, for the sake of my example, that the 1% included your losses - you'd make about 250% per year, and you would be the most sought after hedge fund manager on the internets!!!

  5. As I understand it, trading strategies for big funds are different than for smaller funds.

    So, some guy trading at his home on a $50k account could do 1% a day.

    A hudge fund manager trading a $50M account could not do 1% per day.

    Am I on the right track here?

  6. Precisely my pi0nt. If you go to the beginning of the thread and read the starting amount of money, you would understand the point.

    Let me tell you this again.

    Equities..........start with 25000 make at least 1% a day.
    Forex ...........start with 26666 make 10+pips a day with leverage 20:1
    Futures........trade only one contract.

  7. According to the spirit of this thread, that's possible, probably. LOL. :D

  8. I don't understand the point of this poll. It's obvious that majority of traders participating in this forum don't make any serious money in trading. I don't think anyone who can consistently make $1000+ a day in trading would be wasting his time in this forum. Not long ago there was a thread asking who is trading for a living. Only a handful replied yes. Today in anonymous poll 25% claim to make $1000+ a day in trading real money.

    its 4,5*10^17 yearly (52 weeks)

  10. Investment account:

    Trading Account (daily):
    50K base.
    All profits moved to MM account or IRA/Investment account at end of month.
    Losses to the 50K set the objective for the next month. Have spent a month regaining a $1000 loss.

    Protecting the base is the highest priority beyond adhering to the system.

    The base is there to generate additional cash flow, not for compounding.

    The base allows for well over 1.5 million $ in trades per year. Tiny percentages for the trades, good percentage for the base.

    My "retail" $.02
