Hello all,
I've been reading this forum off and on and this is my first post.
I am really curious as to why it seems that most people here are seeking relatively small returns (in comparison with my own experiences). I've seen many postings where people will tell others that it's a bad idea to quit your job, etc. Although I do agree that trading for a living is a very tough job (mentally), and you can lose your butt pretty bad if you don't know what you're doing, I think a lot of it's potential goes underestimated in forums like this one. Maybe I'm wrong?
In regards to the claims of extremely small returns: Are many of you simply starting out with little money?
I'm not here to brag, nor do I feel like I have anything to brag about, but with a $15,000 investment into a fxsol account, I've consistently managed to add $180-$360 to my overall balance on a daily basis. Sometimes I will hit lucky days and see $1200+. I never lose out because of the strategy I have in place that involves multiple hedges. Also, I've only traded Euro to date. I'd be happy to explain my system if anyone is interested.
Anyway, hello all. I may be posting here quite often..
