i think it's annoying that people fantasize their gains with excel. Stop dreaming and trade well. Love trading for the sake of trading. Focus on trading and the money will take care of itself.
So you would trade forex if it didn't pay, just for the love it? Damn, no wonder you are easily annoyed.

You know, it is interesting that you choose to use some of your first posts on the FF forum to harass and disparage another person. What does that say about you?

Quoting The Fool
I am a new daytrader and I struggle with maintaining the discipline it takes to stick to a set of simple rules to ensure, if not success, then at least survival. I like to scalp but I also let trades run for longer periods if it appears that they are well placed. I got caught in the (bear trap) spike down late last week with some short trades placed w/o a stop loss. And, so, here we are. I may well come out of this one ok, but what is depressing is that this is basically the same mistake I have made over and over to the gross detriment of my account....
In general this thread -

Possible - Yes
Probable - No

I really hope the OP does do it though.

Fool - can you explain your trading system there ? If your going to aim for 4% a day forever your definately not going to do it unless you kill your emotions and and stick to your trading rules like glue.

Can you post some charts as well, of say the trading you did today ?

Thanks for your interest. I like to scalp but I don't have the time (or mindset) to do it every day. Also, I mostly like to scalp the FO/LO into the London session - 3-4 hours max. But I am under the gun on some dayjob deadlines and I need to sleep at night, so today I am swing trading. I have an open position on E/U - long from .4010 (see E/U thread). I took about 1/4 off at +45 pips but will hold out for 100+ on the rest over the next day or so.

I will post charts at some point, but there is not much to see. Candlesticks, BB(21, 2.5), daily pivots and calc'd s/r levels, eyeballed horizonatal s/r and diag. channel lines. Vertical lines demarcating the various market open/close hours. I am a student of price action. M1, M5, M15, and H1 tf.

well' i don't know if it can be done or not, for sure i'm not able, i've attached this spreadsheet just to clarify what a 4% a day would mean after 200 days (almost a year trading)

Sadly it's not that easy, 4% on a £1200 account is Easy Peasy, 10% is fairly acheivable at this level.

But unless he's got balls of steel and can trade at $100 per pip without breaking a sweat his risk and reward will fall off at some point.

He can likely get to 20K before this starts to effect him too much, still make £800 per day average at $20 per pip requiring 65pips!! ( maybe he can go higher but that'll do me and my stress levels fine thanks )

Think Pips it's easier for me.

so a "4% a day forever" is impossible... sorry about that, it is possible to earn a 4% a day forever with a small account without compounding, only if you have a high win rate, but this probably will lead to a low RR system (would be a dream having a 60% or higher win with a 1:1 RR) this will lead that with 3-4 loss in a row you would probably lose a a big big part of your account, 3 losses in a row in a lifetime aren't so rare...
anyway why is this thread in trading journal? still didn't see a trade, just people claiming they made 10% a day but nothing to prove it...

I suspect he'll be happy to get to 20K before it starts dropping off, I don't think he meant it too seriously either.

Running @85% recently, but this is somewhat fluid ( still a works in progress here ) and my profits are nearly twice my loses, but it's taken 5years to get to this stage ( on and off ).

So everything can be done!!

Do you mean you have a 85% win and you gain twice your losers?

Yeah thats how my stat's are looking at the moment.

Not going to say I won't slip back to old ways and blow my account in 2hours at this stage though.

Hopefully not!!

Always nice to see you here! I hope you will stop in every day and share your insight. But especially, keep saying, "You dont know how to trade. Save your money and do something else." If you can't think of anything else to write, you might just try writing that 100 times.

you shouldn't be worried, even with a 35% win rate you would be on the winning side

It is not possible for me at least to make 4% per day..........It is huge and the risk and reward ratio will not make you do it............

I am finding for a system which can make me 200 pips per week consistently and per trade I shall take and taking 2.5-5% risk on my total equity per trade and when we shall have big amount like $100k then we should not use more than 2% risk per trade and when we have Millions of dollar to trade we should not take more than 1% risk per trade..........

And just imagine you are using 3-5 times leverage and getting 200 pips per week and risking 2.5% per trade you are getting at least 327% gain on your equity yearly basis and I am enough for that year....And if you can do it for the next 15 years then you $500 dollar micro account is going to be at the fifteenth year 26 Billions and I think you will get a place in Forbes................

Such a easy work.....Is not it????But the toughest part is doing it in practical basis ..............

If possible give us a system which can make +200 pips per week whatever the negative pips and so far I know big houses try to catch 100 pips per week...................

Thanx............
