1% per day compounded - 3K to 300K goal

I decided to start this journal to keep track of my own performance as I aimed to achieve 300K within 2 years.

I have calculated, 1% a day, 25% monthly (let's make it simple), 1.25^21 = 10800% x 3,000 = 325K in 21 months.

As long as I achieved 1% daily consistently for 21 months, I can achieve my goal of 300K.

I will be updating results frequently in this thread to constantly remind myself of the goal.

Wish me luck. Cheers.

Great, but can you tell us something about your trading method?
Thanks and good luck!
It's actually grid trading. Search this forum and you can find a lot of useful information. Cheers.

Hi Everyone,

I have actually ditched GRID trading as I feel that long term is not sustainable and there is always a "DEATH" trade that will wipe out the account eventually.

After a very long hibernation period of honing my trading and programming skills, I feel that I am ready to continue this dream of mine as I believed anything is possible as long as your mind believes in it. So I am keeping track of my own progress here again. This time round, no martingale or grid of sorts, purely technical trading and position sizing with adequate risk management.

Hopefully I will reach my dream soon.

P/s: So far, collected over 4K pips since April 2019.

Before that I was still tweaking with the EA and various pairs to use on. After that was quite stable after defining the specific pairs to trade on.

Hi
It's now 3 years since your first post.
Did you achieved your 300k target in 2 years?
You can read my updated post in the middle of the page.

Anyway EA is doing well now, 6.2k pips made since Apr 2019. I am confident I will reach my goal this time.

1%
2 years = 512 trading days,
so to achieve 100 doubles (3,000---->300,000)
daily percent should be 100%* { 10^[log(300,000/3,000)/512] - 1} = 0.9035 %
Be yourself
7.2k pips now. Hope can get more in Oct.
