DislikedI'm up approximately 12.2% on the week for EU (the only pair i trade), using a simple scalping method watching p/a. I use full leverage on my account for every trade (100% of account value), which most may not agree with. The way I see it, why would you only use 10% of your account value, while that other 90% is just sitting there doing nothing? Why not take that 90% and put it in a high-yield savings account or other investment vehicle? I can't help but wonder why the individuals who claim they made 300 pips profit only equates to 6% of their account? That would be 300% profit for me, which seems much more lucrative (at least on paper). I am by no means trying to devalue anyones trading methods (I ain't mad at ya). Rather, I am trying to gain some insight into the thought process that goes along with trading on reduced leverage, especially if T/Ps and S/Ls are used? How is this decision made, and what information/data is it based on?
Happy Trading!Ignored
