lol. do the the investment vehicle. you will be a millionaire by year 1.
After the big Aussie play, Wulf...you should have about 16.5k in your account now...

1.5% compounding, Monday to Friday...not even 7 days a week...will put you around 600k after one year, so yes...darimik is about right on the 1 mil.

my brother in-law makes 500 bucks a week. he has 1000 bucks a week in bills. i loan him 25k to help with his bills. now he has a 500 buck job a week with 1100 bucks per week in bills. plus he owes me 25k. meanwhile he just had a paycut. he now makes 400 bucks a week. so i give him another 25k to pay his bills.
they are bullshitting you.... and i am out 50k... does me losing 50k make me stronger?
IT does if you borrow it from your bro/sis.

my average is 45, but i just brought down my initial lot with scalps, so not actually increased position size...
if we leave some wick today, maybe there is a chance..perhaps 2994 might be a better tp..

possibly, only had 2920ish in mind to be honest... news out of athens tomorrow, and last week we failed to retrace the weekend gap..

it will take a long time to unwind. its not just greece. the countries have different gdp causes and affects. manufacturing doing well in the north does not mean tourism in the south is not in a depression. with different countries this will always happen. some will be in better times then others, like now. when German manufacturing hits a bad cycle watch.. since they are sovereign the ones doing well are less likely to help the ones doing bad.

in the u.s. its different. all states help the ones doing bad when times are tough, through the federal government. the burden is more even.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

Per day? Snake oil! Run!
well it varies.. average is just 1.5%.. plus a few catches like you gotta work for like 10 min a day, plus after the first 90 days the profit pts reset and u are working with what u made in the previous 90 days... so it doesnt get super out of control.... I made some spreadsheets and it works out to where if you do it right without pulling profits you double ur account every 4-5 months or so over a period of 3 years minimum investment...

You're not liking your 33% in one day returns? Couldn't you just scale that risk back a little?
well that was a one time thing bro... Im not near consistent in wins like that....

I figured this was a safer slower investment while i kept practicing in FX with a smallish accnt...

downside risk on this new investment vehicle is that the R0R could reduce if the company slows in business(not likely right now) or they go belly up( been in biz 15 years, debt free, so not likely either)

max you can ever invest on this thing is 10K... basically so that some big dogs dont come in and skew the companies systems up... but its still more than decent returns

Awful long time in this environment.

I can't think of too may things that I would want to stick my money in realistically expecting those figures for that amount of time. Maybe food....because I can't remember the last time groceries ever got cheaper.

Without giving away the grail...can you hint at what it has to do with? A sector even?
