Hello CW, i was thinking about something. You mentioned that forex is just part of the equation, that there are many more markets and that charts are all the same. You mentioned you only take the best trades. I agree with it all, it seems very reasonable.


I'm curious about something. if charts are all the same and if the person only trades the charts, the trading opportunities across the different currency pairs/contracts/stocks/etc are virtually endless. So even if a trader only takes the best trades, there will still be many opportunities...
there is a simple method to disprove this..
you cannot trade successfully everyday..
if you did, would you agree that 10% ROI a month should be easily achievable? if so then can you do that every month for the next 20 years?
answer: no.
proof?
does any single person in the world have 1 trillion dollars? no.
if you only start with $500 and every month make 10% ROI, by the end of 20 years you would have over $4 trillion! (500*(1.1^240))
Bill Gates is not even close to that and he's the richest man in the world!

You are over simplifying it, once you get to a certain amount its difficult to trade the same way, you trade will move price against you by clearing the order board. Also normally people start to trade less risk and look for lower % returns when their account are larger as 1% a month of 10 million is 100k.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

do you know how big the forex market is?
no single retail trader can move the market. this is not the 80s anymore.
yes it is simplifying it a bit but the concept is sound.
you should read "the market wizards".
these are the richest and best traders in the world and have been successfully been doing it for many many years.. guess what their average returns are?
20-30%... A YEAR..
that is around 2% a month ROI.

James Can't Fix This. He can only {at best} bury it.
Are you seriously that pissed or desparate that you want to do this?

You Can Fix This. Preferably before it gets beyond repair.

Well, to be honest, I have expanded even more lately.....so that number is quite a bit higher. The hardest part is figuring out what part of what market you want to focus on.

Look how many stocks there are in NY....and Hong Kong.....and now cheelu just about has me talked into the TSE!

A lot of charts.....

Oh yeah, there's Forex too.

Very true. I have someone that I trade money for that only wants 1-2% a month......and he's happy.

It's a lot, if you start out with enough - that's the catch.

Yeah I know how big the market is but im not talking about the whole market im talking about one pair one trade in one direction. Are you saying every pair is liquid enough at all times to soak up any size of trade without moving price? As I said once you get the a large account you only need to make a small % to make big money hence they make 20-30% a year.

And Marty Schwartz from Market Wizards made 25% for 10 years........ thats 25% every month!!!!!

I know that lol. That's why i said that this is just theory, and that's why i said i'd love to hear CW's take on this as he has more experience.

What i want to know is WHY this is not possible (why the 10% per month is not possible/likely for the long term, other than the limits imposed by having too much capital), what barrier am i not seing because i'm only focused on theory? That's why i want to hear from CW and his experience, i want to know what i'm missing.

If there are great setups every day, and if charts are the same in all markets, and given enough time (many hours per day), then it should be very possible to make 10% a month if the account isn't behemothically big.

Well, one simple answer is that no matter how perfect the set up, shit happens. Here's a perfect example:

I was shorting the USD/CHF on a daily pinbar at 61.8% fib levels. Also, the ten year note was softening up (another form of confluence....oh wait, might get sued for using that word - it's now "synchronicity".)

Then something really, really, annoying happened. The Swiss National Bank decided to do a surprise cut in the middle of the night on me. I got stopped out in about 5 minutes or less. I really thought I was going to do well on the trade. From experience, I normally can tell when a trade at least has a good shot at being something big......and then Roth cuts. Bastard. Didn't he know I was long the Franc?



It just happens. I know that's not a great answer, but it's the one I got.

Ok i get you. Ultimately it's a matter of the risk the trader is willing to take. If he intends to increase his profits he'll have to increase his risk (either by risking more per trade or by leaving more trades open at the same time). it all comes back to the amount the trader is comfortable risking..

Comfort and risk are paramount.
