Sadly the richer people are the tighter they are ( not in a good way ), been using my skills for years to find a rich and generous bird, but it's always 1 or the other.
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

That's the beauty of an opinion. It just is. I am not against big risk, big gain. A year ago i turned 100 bucks into 450 within 1 month and went on a road trip in my country. So, it's doable, but not sustainable. And to be honest I had a lot of luck. 200 were made on a single trade...lol.

This all depends on the individual trader. X can risk half his equity on a trade (small account), while Y only risks 0.5% on the same trade (big account). For the sake of this argument the absolute $ gain is the same.



But, here we are talking about having an account that brings enough money to not work anymore. By work I mean day job, with a boss, and a schedule and all that crap.

Yeah, opinion is great - doesn't matter facts say otherwise!

{quote} So you have no issues with someone turning 2.8K into 45K in a month to win a contest from the look of it ( this is a demo account but close enough ), so that's 1600% in a month, but you don't believe 10% per month consistently can be done ? Errrrrrrrr what. How about we just do 1600%, 2 to 3 times in a row then retire ??
Yes

That would be good retirement

So you can't make 10% per month consistently, but 1600% a few times then retire is fine, got it!!

I could be wrong but this is what this market taught me. I don't know if it teaches different things to different people. It is always worth trying to find out. I tell you what I have learned, if I am wrong, not my fault. Check for yourself what it teaches you, sooner or later you will find the truth

I am not kidding. Why don't you try generating 10% a month with max drawdown of 20%. Maybe I cannot do this only because I am a lousy trader. Some good traders may like to try. If you are already doing it, just let me know why you still have not bought Sardinia?

At least you don't insist on what you can't prove, admit possibility of being wrong and don't start being insulting when you can't support your point of view!

That's something - most guys here lack these qualities...

That's cause I've found profitable system that I really like only 8 or 9 months ago as I wrote and was testing it on demo about half of that time!

Though, you're wrong and I showed you the guy - go ask him whether he's making 10% or more.

Let's just switch to some other topic as, I suppose, everyone's point of view on this matter already was expressed and nobody has anything new to add...
