DislikedI've been considering altering my strategy.. If passing challenges is not that difficult & time consuming for a trader.... Is it better to run live accounts at significantly higher risk @ let's say 2% per trade (commissions included) with 1-2 backup accounts waiting, plus stop trading for rest of month once 8% target is hit. vs. Merging the accounts and using way more responsible .5% risk per trade so I would never lose it when the eventual drawdown occurs. Crunching the numbers @ 2% risk, I can usually get a good 4-6 month run out of an account...Ignored
(You can only have 2*300k account at MFF as I know but I would assume you could also do some copy trading, second I do not know if there is a 60 day or 90 day inactivtiy rule, but then you only need to change the account from time to time where you do the 2% risk per trade.)
Then you only need to do more profits in absolute terms with the relative one third more profits for the value when doing a new 200k challenge with MFF, which is with the 5% discount code, a value of about $2742. So if you do more than $2742, which is the breakeven point, by risking 2% per trade and get 1/3 more in profits than doing only 0.5% risk per trade, then for you altering your strategy is profitable as you have more profits in total. It is just that easy you need to do in your calculation. To make it complete you need to in excess $2742 profits which is 1/3. So if you do $8226 profit per month by risking 0.5% per trade you need to do then in total $10968 by risking 2% per trade, which is the breakeven point. Whenever you are sure to do more than $11k on a 200k account per month ca., which you need to after your split. To say it in different terms, you need to more than 5.5% net or more than 6.88% before an 80% profit split, on a cycle, then you are fine with that. I have assumed you are doing profits in one month and then you blow up. If you can do profits for 4 months in a row before you blow up, then you just need to divide everything by 4, which you need to do per month. That's it. You only need to assure you are doing $2742 in excess with your 2% risk per trade in total.
When you say you do significant profits on a 200k accounts, then I would say, you should do that path. This is the more favorable and more profitable way then.
