Isn' t that typical american , talking about dollars Overhere in Europe we are more interested in % 78 % in 2006
25000 $ made for a 1 million dollar account that is 2.5 % ; it sucks for a 100k account 25 % ;great Learn to put things in perspective
78% on how much equity? Returning that on $1,000 is one thing, returning it on $100,000 is quite another.
I have a question regarding %'s For futures, does one use margin requirments to calculate % performance? If i trade the ES contract, which has a margin requirment of 2000$ lets say, and make 2000$ in one year, does that mean I have made 100%? thanks
Wow! No one has lost this year? Somehow I find that I'm peeing in my pants laughing at that. I had a crappy year...
I think it was in perspective. As the account size grows, being able to produce a good return becomes more difficult. Returning 78% on a penny stock is easy compared to trading hundreds of round lots a year.
