i guess you're a great trader.
i just went live last sunday and turned 2.5k into 10k if that counts, I have risky MM but I it's ok because I am 18 and have no one to support. I am extremely patient and wait for the right trades

you give me hope.
you give me cookie?
2 years ago, I turned a mere 50 USD investment into 5-figure winning in Financial Fixed Odds Forex betting.

That should give you some hope as well.

Research, learn and adapt. You will do well in the Forex markets.

Good luck.

2 years ago I turned some 255$ into 2500+ and than I lost it again
Not too hard if you have a high success rate.
I turned 200$ into 800$ in about 2 weeks trading 1 mini lot every time.
Was not even that risky.
You don't need a high success rate.

It's possible but not everyone can do it.
Trade what you see, not what you think.
Try using a decreasing MM risk percentage. Start with a small amount of money and a high risk %, like 30%, and move lower as your balance increases until you're trading with $5k or $10k and 2% risk. As long as your system doesn't suffer too many losing trades in a row, you're good. Risky, but if you're only playing with $250 or $500... a complete blow-out isn't really going to matter.
Of course you need a good success rate.
If you start with 200$ and lose 4 trades in a row with a 30 pips stop you lost more than half of your moneey. I only have a losing trade ever 10-20 trades.
Of course you don't need a high success rate. If you use microlots it takes more than 4 trades with a stop of 30 to halve your account.

It will take much longer. If you think that way you can simply ask.
Is it possible to get a 400% return? Sure buy bonds and get 3% anual return year after year. After decades you'll get your 400%.
I turned £200 into about £500 in 3 days. Of course, with the kind of rubbish money management you would expect, I lost it just as quickly. All it needs is a couple of bad trades, when you're risking everything, and you're doomed.

But can you turn £100 into £1,000,000? The answer is yes; providing you have a good system of MM and good discipline, with a good trading methodology, over the space of maybe 500 years (give or take 100 years), you should hit your target.

that's how long it will take?
1% rule. Assuming every trade is a success.

£100 means you only risk £1. Now assuming a 2:1 Reward:Risk, every trade gets you £2. Let's say you do one a day... It'll take you 50 working days to double your account. That's approx 2 months per £100. Now in theory you could now risk £2. You can see it will take a while. Maybe not 500 years but it isn't going to happen quickly.

My personal plan for World Domination is to trade with a small amount, then slowly introduce more money to my account, to a point where (1) I am consistently profiting (drawdowns included) and (2) I can earn a reasonable living. (I don't know if I've conquered myself yet so why let the markets prove it to me that I haven't.)
