What is your annual ROI goal?

Are you realistically shooting for 50% 100% 400%? 1000%? For me, I'd have to say a 20% or higher gain is acceptable as a bare minimum.

i don't really have a goal..since this is my first year trading :-)

but so far it's 30% after 7 months..which is ok i guess

but after 5 years or so..then i'll know how i can improve

I really dont have a fixed %, I will always try to gain as much as I can!

I would be extremely happy if I have $100,000 in my account by the end of the year. :

Its a very high goal but if you want to be successful, small goals is not the key!

I could never figure out how ROI is calculated on 1:100 leverage.
If you have 10,000 in the account and you trade 100,000 lot and then make say 30,000 is you ROI 30% or 300%?
You don't really invest 10,000 you just pledge $1000 of your money to borrow 100G for a few hours or minutes based on trading style in order to make profit.

I try to add 50% monthly. If the account is large enough and if market conditions allow, I have reached 100%.

Usually the next few posts are negative and mean.

Please, read over your words and check to see if your ignorance is showing before you <Submit Reply>.

I do not mean any harm. Most people look bad trying to make me look bad. If you attempt this, Good Luck!

Love to you, fellow pippers! http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...icon_heart.gif

PipGod, I dont think thats unreasonable at all, for someone who knows what they are doing .

54% so far this month.......

Averaged 40% a week since 2-11-07.

It is possible to reach 200% in one week depending on your system and what the market does for your system. This past week I did 38%, 25% of which came from 1 days trading.

Averaged 300 pips a week since the beginning of the year. Just find the right system that works for you and then focus on money management and you'll be able to keep those hard earned pips.

best of luck gathering those pips.

Wow. That's some heavy hitting you guys are going. Congrats to all of you. I hope to be getting similar results soon. Overall my trading career has been negative but only lasted about 1 year. I think I'm going to turn it around with an EA I just finished writing. Now I would like to double my account many times over by the end of the year...

I made 790% in the last 3 months.

Where are all these pips coming from? Surely they have to be pyramided positions.... not 300 raw pips a week.

If you are really pulling down these kind of returns, can you at least HINT what systems you are using? 10 Points 3? Goblin Bipolar? Fozzy? A combination of all these and more?

We want to get there too...

I use a single simple MA cross with RSI

Hey All,

For me its about the PIP amount. The A.R.O.I. is important, but focus on getting a pip amount is easier.

My goal is a minimum of 250 PIPS a week. Compounding my lots as I go along.

This way I have been hitting double & triple %s each month.

My goal is $3MIL.

G-Luck

PS.

I am like Johnedoe. I use EMAs & RSI. For a visual aid I also use the indicator I added at the bottom.

tKimble daily has been the system of choice. I have also supplemented this with the tKimble weekly system as well. Both have been extremely profitable. Average of 300+ pips a week on the GBPJPY and GBPUSD. Using multiple pairs it is possible to have 3000+ pips a week using these strategies, but I don't recommend this unless you are able to find pairs that are not correlating.

This week as an example the Weekly tKimble on the GBPJPY brought in a raw 516 pips and the Daily brought in 403 raw pips on the GBPJPY alone. Not a bad week.

The stats for the Weekly for 2007 are as follows:

Total Net Pips in 2007 = 3132
Number of Loosing Trades = 27
Number of Winning Trades = 13
Average Winning Trade = 366
Average Loosing Trade = -49
Win Probability = 33%
Win/Loss Ration = 8.37


The stats for the Daily tKimble 2007 are as follows:

Total Net Pips in 2007 = 4713
Number of Loosing Trades = 68
Number of Winning Trades = 48
Average Winning Trade = 163
Average Loosing Trade = -46
Win Probability = 41%
Win/Loss Ration = 3.72

Quite the combination when you put them both together. They hedge each other throughout the week. The above was base on the GBPJPY only and is current to the end of this current week. Data started on December 25, 2006.

Hope this gives you some insight. These pip levels are possible on a regular basis. Just find a system that works for you and work it like a robot with good money management.

wish you the best of luck finding those pips.

now i have acc $40,000

goal 8% per month and 100% per year.

profit = $40,000

If you can make 25 pips a day, you can double your account in 2 months. That means after 5 years a 1000 dollar account has mounted to 1 million x million dollars. That's where I want to stand.

This month I am at around 300% (in a couple of weeks).

This is why I trade forex!

This works! I have used it. Sometimes I still do.

Before I went live (Years ago) I have seen a trade journal ( print out of live account trades in person ) that was a 810% increas in one month. The gentleman opened his live account and proved he did it. At that time I was thinking of quiting. I am so thankful he was there to motivate me.

Maybe this will help motivate others as well.
