DislikedOk, the way I see it: 1 000 % / 20 days = 50 % a day 50 % / 25 pairs = 2 % per pair 1st day: 1 000 $ * 50 % = 500 $ 500 $ / 25 pairs = 20 $ per pair Since trading multiple pairs the margin requirement would be huge if trying to trade 1 mini lot per pair or (10 000), therefore micro lots are the only available option. In that case to make 20 $ a pair a system would need to generate a 200 pip profit per pair. Margin: 25 pairs * 0.01 = 0.25 lots On 1:50 leverage 0.25 lots would need around 830 $ of total margin (assuming 180 000$ per standard lot,...Ignored
So if our daily average can be 11.04% means that we need to make even 20% in some days.
So this may seem huge, but if we find a profitable method its not that impossible.There are like 20+ liquid pairs, which are the crosses of the main currencies.
If we split that 11% over 20+ currencies, assuming that they move equallly much, which is not the case because some currencies always move more than others, but just for the sake of thought imagine if we split 11% daily gain over ,is only 1.81%/pair on a daily basis.
So we need to generate only 2% on every pair, on average to make up this.
So if we go with the smaller risk & more trade scenario, then with a 2:1 RR we only need to risk < 5% and look for double returns, which is if we find trade setups which have 5% risk and 10% reward, then its doable.
Of course some moves may last longer than a day, which is fine, in this case just trail the stops or add/subtract to the positions, because the basket should make 11%/day.
The risk could be also small if we look at this type of method.So its doable.
