Ok seriously...
I'm opening my first real account in about a week and have a few questions. I've been following this forum closely and want to thank everyone for posting your charts, giving your opinions-I think my odds of succeeding are much higher because of it.
QUESTIONS:
Whats the average number of contracts you guys are hold for those 40-50 even a 100 pips like you do? Someone recently told me that most professional traders, even banks hold just 1 or 2 contracts at a time. I'm self taught- so I don't know whats normal. I currently scalp 8-10 pips with sets of contracts. I think I'm pretty successful with scalping but everyone cautions against it..Why?
And lastly;
Whats the average daily % of gain amongst you? Is it at least half what you could do on test accounts? I've read about 7% annual return- but hows that figured... The more money you make - the bigger the account gets- changing the leverage - snowball effect. Is it 7% of the principle or of the balance? (example: starting with 50k, i average 15k gain a day till it reaches 100k (on day 3) then i average 30-50k a day till it reaches 200k(on day 5) I can make 75k a day on that-and so on...) How do I figure out my return percentage? weekly?
Sorry for asking such basic questions- I spent 4 years trading only on test accounts- so I never needed to learn the business side of trading. Now I suddenly need to learn it all in a week!
J-
i'm looking for a higher high, not a lower high...........
