daily %1 ( not accoumulated // basic calculation ) makes %200 year base
did you hear any fund return with > %50 year ? or %50 year?
are we the only smart ones

Quoting glennl2000
absolutely. 5% daily is unsustainable. I'm going for 3% daily, until I get to 50% return, then will drop to 1%, and that may be unsustainable too!

the hardest lesson the market gave me was this one, risk is off but can be on anytime you just have to adapt!

True. I'm actually using a sizing algorithm called secureF. I basically adjust the desired drawdown to reach my goals. I'm aggressive right now, however once my target is reached, I'll scale it back. I don't believe in shooting for a constant target/day, so I vary it according to win ratios, etc.

i seem to scale down in size as i make more profit for day,

it allows me to really run and gun, and not have worry in my mind of losing chunk or profit i just made

We are not the smart ones but we trade the small moves within the big moves. I think most of the % on yearly mothly etc are based on long term-trades.

Let's take leverage 1:500.. 26-28 pips=100% of margin put in.
Lets say i have 100€. i use 1%=1€ . If i scalp the day and take out 100-125 pips green this is 4-5% of account gain.
20 trading days a month= 20*4-5% = 80-100% gain a month. 12 months = 12*80-100 = 960-1200% gain a year if you are a scalper and can manage your trades.
MM 1% a trade is quite good.
I personally don't use that levarage, but i have noticed that a lot of trader here use.

close 24.5 +2 (0.02%) thats my smallest gain today, was hoping for another run at 30

but still helps

daily total = 1.93%

No, I don't have daily MUST do %. I am watching and trading if good setup is here, I am more orientated in longer term, lets say starting with month. Realistic goals.

1000% would be nice if 100-125 pips a day with 1:500 but this is quite hard to do. if trading only one pair.
but trading-machine like you could do it
