Yes, sorry, its 80%, 6% per month is around 100%, you got my point, though.
Everyone can see the chart, but only a few can actually read it.

i gradually figured out how to make money, but not big money. u can not make big money without big money in market. overleverage won't bring u big money, don't even think about it, it can only ruin ur wealth and health. if u have ten grand, don't try to double ur capital by one year. if u put hundred grand in market, fifty percent return is very challenging. i am not saying u ca never make it, what i am trying to say is that u can't keep doing like that for long. there is no such thing as excessive profit anyway,i start this thread as a begining....

{quote} with seven years tears and sweat, i don't envy anymore those forex traders who can double the account monthly. i don't know how they survive like that, but i do know i am not capable of doing so. i had $45,000 starting capital one year ago. my trade lot size was $5000, only 0.05 standard lotsize. the max size i ever used is $50,000, only 0.5 standard lot. now my capital is $62,000, 35% return. i still don't want to raise my trading size because i feel very comfortable with what i was doing before. i don't see any reason i should change ....

so you had a 35% return during that 1 year period, and what percentage drawdown / floating drawdown did you have during that same 1 year period, about 10% ?

good question, MTX. actually, it's the key question we should concern everyday.
i remember the biggest floating loss was around five thounsand dollars when i shorted SPX 500 in july. i stopped trading for three month bcoz of this mistake. i knew my postion was safe, so i only reduced postion size when possible. i just did no expect that spx can stay bullshit so freaking long.

hey Wentao thx - so you had about 10% floating DD
btw SP500 short was a good trade at that time, had you held till the end of august 2015 you would have made 15K+

i screwed long Cable last week when i set up buy limit. i got 1500 dollars floating loss for this pair for whole week. i got little bit angry with myself this morning when i was watching the chart, so i closed all positions with $400 profit. i know if i keep thise postion running i can make thousand dollars eventually, but i think i need take a break and think in peace. too many pics, i post some of them

if u do not abuse leverage and overtrade, u beat at least 50% losers in forex market. it is so easy to stand out from average, but most just never try
