I just heard from a fellow trader that he successfully bagged 1100 pips in one trade on Friday 18 April 2008.I don't know whether this was with one or more lots,in which case the total would be a ludicrous amount,but I have absolutely no reason to doubt this.The trading instrument was Silver on the 1hr chart. In just one candle, price moved a total of 2549 pips!!He was,however, happy to take the 1100! I bet he was...
Is there anyone out there who can say they've moved in and out of the market, in one day and on one trade, and bagged a thousand or a couple of thousand pips?This does not mean trading 10 lots and making 100 pips on each,totalling 1000, although nobody would pass that up either.Don't get me wrong, holding a position for weeks and coming out the other end with over 1000 pips is also obviously just as satisfying, but I'd like to hear about single trades most of us only dream of!
I'm sure there are many great stories out there.Please share your story here with the rest of us mere mortals.
