  6. 78% on how much equity?

    :confused:

    Returning that on $1,000 is one thing, returning it on $100,000 is quite another.

  7. 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

  8. 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...

  9. 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.
