Hello everybody,

Trading is not an exact science, but do you think that there are trading systems that generate (almost) perfect linear profits?

No, systems always have drawdowns. I think the only way to have better results is by using discretion, but still nothing will be perfect.

definitely not.. that would mean that there is a way to perfectly predict price movements 100% of the time, which is impossible

If you trade a system that generates linear profits (expressed in pips), your account will indeed grow exponentially because you can compound the lot size.
