Can you intentionally ruin an account easily?

What if you have 1000$ in an account. And a bank told u that if u managed to lose them in 1 month ,they will give u 2000$ !

So u try intentionally to take bad trades. Is it easily dowable? I mean u may take large lots try to lose them ,to find +ve pips! Then u close the trade quickly and open other trade with bigger lot ,to compensate ur unfortunate win. To find urself winning again!! Of course 1 rule u don't close the trade on -ve spread!

Another question (serious). Is there an EA that makes opposite order of urs in other account.
I mean You buy E/U with 30:20 TP:SL ,it Sells E/U with 20:30 ...etc?? I will try and see what happens in demo!

I think it's really easy to blow an account you use the max levrage ,no stop loss an you enter randomly .

That's VERY easy to do.
Use max leverage.
Buy a pair with a large spread.
Sell immediately.
Repeat.

Read the post. I said you don't close on -ve spread. You have to wait for zero profit.

What if you made a random order to find it turn to mega +ve reps? Arent the chance when u make an order with no S/L is 50:50 up:down?

What I am saying ,that if I have 95% chance to blow my account ,what if I set up an EA that does the opposite of my "random" orders??

I read it but "-ve spread" doesn't mean anything.

Still, it would be quite easy : just use the minimum stop loss.
Or just use high leverage.
Or just do the opposite of what I do.
The easiest way would be to buy options right before expiration the day before earnings.

the opposite of losing is losing

winning is different from losing

that's the difference

I blew a $50k FXCM demo account in 3 minutes

I went long, short, long, short, etc. and burned away the entire account in commissions .

It was a lot of fun

...and then I realized it was remarkably nerdy so I went and took a jog outdoors.

So does setting tight TP with high leverage work?

It might but losses can be devastating so I wouldn't recommend it.

Whew
for a moment there I thought you were going to say:

".....and then I realized..... it wasn't the demo account!"

Haha I checked 3 times before doing it I'm never going to do it again though, I worried for a few minutes that it might be but I couldn't help it!

Oh, the easiest way is to buy far out-of-the-money options right before expiration date, and then to wait until they expire worthless.
For example you could buy lots of GS 250.00 call (exp feb 2010) today and wait until mid-february.

Can you tell me the name of that senile bank, please? If you need permission, just tell them I intend to deposit not just $1,000 but $1,000,000.

Thank you.

I know this is going to sound crazy but, I really think what you are saying has validity. Alot of people think that " I have to find the best system" and that when they do it will all be easy. This is one of the reasons its so hard to find a mentor, two people can trade the exact same "system" and have totally diff results. From that the conclusion can be made that it is not in the system (although having a rigid and disciplined approach is vital) it is mostly psychology.. I had a long discussion with a friend of mine on this very subject. Think about the basics when our target is say 100 pips and we are up say 10-30 pips on 1 lot and see 100 to 300 dollars what do we want to do? TAKE THE MONEY! Ok so that was us just being a newbie now we will set stop to BE+1. What happens? WE GET 10-30 PIPS AND THEN BE+1. we do this 5 or 6 times and then say dangit if i would have taken profit on all those trades I would be up 50-200 pips (I know all this is based on ones system), but if your targets are such and you have at least a 1to1 rr then I promise you my friend you will go broke, maybe slowly but for sure eventually. I dont want to get into the math, but the innate human nature to see money on the table and take it along with the same nature to let a looser run (hoping it will come back) and just cutting it @ our 1 to 1 of -100pips (provided we dont talk ourselves in to just a little more (ha ha).

I said all of that to say If you had the power to reverse those emotions. Or really trick newer traders into believing the neg were positive and vice versa. I would say there would be alot more successful retail traders.

Hey man, don't give away my trading plan! LOL

It is very easy to ruin your account very easily But if you have affection for your account, you can not ruin the account.

I am not sure that loving your account helps with not losing it if one doesn't know how to trade.

You can intentionally ruin your finances quite easily in many ways let alone trading.
