Strongly agree with this answer!
The important thing is to work on MY strategy, make it your own, respecting the rules and conditions.

500% ? {image}
Very impressive indeed!

$100 starting balance is my kind of territory

Do you mind if I ask you which trading pairs you concentrated on in that success?

{quote} It's not about the risk and reward. IS your system profitable? That's the first question you'll need to ask yourself.
I bumped into an old co-worker I hadn't seen in a couple of years. He used to trade FX but gave it up and went to Cryptos. We started talking about trading of course and the first thing he asked was: What RR do you use. I told him that I don't look at that sort of thing....he shook his head and said oh boy....

I guess some people are so stuck in right and wrong rules of trading that they can't see past them.

{quote} As Alan Greenspan said in his testimony following the LTCM collapse, no matter how skilful the trader, over the longhaul abnormal returns are sustained only through abnormal exposure to risk. I started off with £1000 with an appetite for high risk, but as my account size grows, I'm cutting back aiming for a max drawdown of 20-30% which is part of my trading development. Its difficult to achieve a tight drawdown and a decent return (IMO, multiple times your deposit in a year) but thats the holy grail I guess. In my view, theres no point having...

Do you see Martingale working through his trades?
i guess he is not stuck in following the right and wrong rules of trading.

RR is important, and it comes to play after you understand your trading system! You can tweak it to maximize your trading system's potential and gains. There's no right and wrong in trading, only winners and losers. Trade safe
Guys I believe that RR also depends on which time frame one is trading not so?

If one is trading M1 one can set a moderate TP and a much lower SL

On the flip side, trading M1 is not easy and requires a specialised trading system geared to that time frame

Haha, I hope I understand my systems since I made some of them. It's just not the brew some coffee and sit down and spread blue prints and draw up RR plans kind of thing. I deal with it on the fly and RR becomes kinda dynamic then. To explain to him what my RR is I need to say: It depends and that answer isn't satisfying to someone who wants to hear how I brew coffee and sit down and draw up trading plans starting with RR.

Anyways, nice guy and everything but he told me that he quit FX because he couldn't decide whether to buy or sell and he went to Bitcoin trading cause all he had to do was to buy since Bitcoin had no place to go but up. Lol.....and that is the kind of guy who would need RR planned probably per individual trade cause he is not sure if he should be buying or selling....

To his credit, he said since starting Bitcoin trading (about 5 years) he was up 400% so I guess he is happy with his RR methods.
It is not possible to make 500% gain every year.

It is also not possible to make 40% gain per month every month.

You will experience losses, some times your fault (a bad read), sometimes the markets fault (Black Monday, 9/11, Lehman Bros, Brexit).

Focus on flawless execution of your system that you previously tested with a positive edge.

And cut back on expenses if you have a bad month, rather that withdraw from an account that already had monies withdrawn by a market draw-down. That way you can continue to grow your account with the added benefit of shrinking your waistline from eating less.

thank you but the main things most of traders missed is the principle. if your strategy is completely coded ( i mean has rules for step by step) you won't stuck in a feeling . for example if your strategy tells you must pass all N ruels,when those completed why you afraid of trading? plus if you added money management too .

100% per week is awesome.

My guess is you won't be posting much after 6 month or so, as you will already be a billionaire.

Not being sarcastic, just stating mathematics facts. 100 units times 24 weeks = over 1 billion units. Who needs to post after gaining 1 billion in cash?

Hopefully you strategy has been tested over multiple asset classes as most Forex brokers, whether bucket shops or non-dealing desks can't handle that trading units size. You will need to trade in futures which is a different game.

Wow, you guys are way too advanced for me so I will stay out of this. The OP was asking question about making 500% yearly gain and you and 5aztv are making 5,000%. I will stay silent now.

Edit - Sorry, my bad - I meant to say you guys are making 1,000%. Honest mistake when you are in the amazement.

{quote} Before I took time off from trading, I was doing about 3-4 trades per week. Assuming I win 50% and risk 2.5% to make 5% (1:2 R/R), I’d assume that’s good numbers to go on. Drawdown of 25%.

What people does NOT understand is there is no "3-4 trades per week" formula. Never! Of course you can have 3-4 trades per week, if you indeed are willing that, but not all "3-4 trades per week" will fullfill your conditions to be taken as low risk trades.
Nowhere in this world you can have "3-4 trades per week" because there are cycles. As in real life the profit is NOT liniar in business,same in trading, it is a novice mistake to say "I will have 3-4 trades per week and voila! I can make 10%, 20-50% monthly." No! You can't make such amount monthly. The truth is NOBODY know the outcome. You can make this month 1% and the next month 3% with third month for 12%. If you are forcing to have "3-4 trades per week" , then some of them will be high risk. And your profit will be dramatically affected. When your profit is afected, your discipline is trembling and NATURALLY you are exposed to make more mistake because you are unconfortable with the tought "I lost, I must recover, I should have 3-4 trades per week, I must have 20% profit Monthly". And you open another trade, and force the things and then the mistake appear and with mistake , the disaster.

"3-4 trades per week" do you understand now?
