In my opinion, I don't think it's possible to make 20% or even just 10% month after month swing trading with just simple margin. I do know that it is not impossible to average 5% per month with 2x leverage. Some months I make 8-9%, most months a little less than half that. But then again, thats just me. Maybe some others can.
yep..i have no problem making 10-20% on fixed amount of money. let say 30K. i can't do same on 10M account.once your account is big enough you will have liquidity problems. that's why it's unrealistic
Yes, you'll see that that trading system has a record that spans one whole month. If you put 20 monkeys in front of trading screens there's an excellent chance that one of them will get 20% in a month. That tells you nothing about what the year to year performance will be.
20% per month is 1% per day. That is easy is these highly volatile and unstable markets for 6 months. Just sell stocks of giant companies because there is high possibility of flash crash any day. Google will be in serious trouble in coming days because everybody is eyeing Google. Sell Google stocks. Bershire hathaway shares in some $113,200 per share. There should be selling in this company now. Sell berkshire.
Do <i>you</i> have a track record spanning at least two years in which you have made 1% per trading day? I'd love to see the brokerage statements (you should have about 140 times as much capital as you started with). Are there <i>some</i> traders who can do that? Yes. But they are very, very rare.
