this time next year rodders we'll be millionaires...

working at 10:1 leverage i estimate 10 pips net gain per trading day is sufficient.. spread sheet courtesy of hatches..

(just need to avoid the large draw downs of course, but with that in mind is 10:1 to high? thoughts?)
damn, thank you. I deleted that one a long time ago and was way too lazy to re-create it again.
let me tell you that nothing is harder to do than this shit...

Dear HDA,

As all of us had to go through, we must fail... sometimes many times if we are to succeed in this world. Some it will not be in their future, others it will. This is simply the process that separates the two, and for the small percentage, grants empowerment.
@Venice:

I like you - such kind words - You have expressed yourself so eloquently. I completely understand and accept your thoughts with humility. I have no buts to add to anything you have said. I understand the code of conduct for every thread and respect them 99.99% of the time. Thank you for the warm and very gentle reminder.

@Kenfen69: You have a nice family here especially with a relative like Venice.

Respectfully,
HDA

Wish you luck. I did the following in 2011: 1 account, 1 try, 1001$... don't ask me, where that single dollar came from, error in transferring the money, I guess. The table says 1% daily gain, so I wanted 1% to be equal to 10 pips. I got runners, had trades easily going for 40-50 pips on simple bounces skyrocketing the equity curve.
I couldn't stand it any more around the end of April/beginning of may, when positions had to be ~10$/pip... I wasn't ready for that, still am not.

they don't help.. but i have had this one for 6 weeks. they are calcium based. probably more carbonated sodas then anything else. shellfish, vegetables can do it too. it all adds up to a rock.

like i said to sisse, that's where the problems kick in, when the equity curve ramps up.. at that stage you need to be looking at reducing leverage, reducing percentage risk exposure and reducing percentage growth targets... two years full time into this business have firmly smashed away any delusions i was labouring under...

edit- with brokers you usually have to transfer $1 to link the card to the account..
