Your results so far this year

23.95%

I do not like to take too much risk so I am not getting those crazy 200% returns some of you guys get

 

9% so far on my $300,000. 20% -25% p.a. is my goal. Then try to get the account upto $2M+....easy life!

 

at $300k are you on portfolio margin or just reg T leverage with a retail account?

 

what do you mean? I just have a regular broker account I do not use margin. No day trading either.

 

How are you guys compounding, every trade, each week, month,year or based on equity highs?

 

So now you are starting to understand what scaling means and why it matters? Glad to see you learned something from our discussion.

Re-read my post and don't misquote me. I never said that was all my trading capital.

 

you mentioned you had $300k in an account and I asked if it was portfolio margin which is about 6.7:1

reg t margin for a retail account is 4:1

 

I am at 254% so far this year. But like the1 said I am at the point where my account is small and my money management isnt where it needs to be. I also know my strategy isn’t scalable so I have started looking elsewhere

 

up 8% currently, after having been up 85% YTD in april. Low-mid 6 figs accounts....currently trying not to completely blow up and finish the year positive and ahead of the broad-based benchmarks :-/

 

This is the old thread for the first quarter . . . post new results here.
