Hello All.

I've been lurking on forex factory for almost 3 years now and definitely learned a lot. I'm curious to find out (maybe others too) who is the most profitable trader here on a real account (in percentage terms). That's mainly because I've read lots of threads and claims of percentage gains of hundreds and thousands %.
As we all know those returns are not sustainable in the long run. Also, we can find motivation from real traders walking the talk.

Also, few very good traders don't post much, but achieve great results.

So, if you want to participate - please state the trader from ff factory with a link to his trade explorer. We could also calculate and group them by risk/reward ratios taken, winning percentage trades and so on.


Best regards!

That is a very tough question to answer, for that you need to contact moderator and that I think is not an easy task.

Hi, Asking.

Those results look almost unbelievable, will have a more detailed look into those accounts.

As far as Forex Factory members go - i found a really interesting profile - http://www.forexfactory.com/wuza#acc...explorer.19811
Here it clearly states 79.1% win rate and a 656.2% ROI, which is great.

It would probably be interesting and motivating if Ken A and Max Doom could join the discussion - as far as I've read some of their posts - some huge positions and reruns in absolute terms were often made by them.

Yeah both of that trader show that it is possible to succeed at FX . As will the trader teach well i doubt it , you don't see warren buffet or successful fund manager give away their secret to public . It's our job as aspiring trader to figure out how, in the end the answer is in front of us everyday 24/5 .

Track records ?
It's also possible to get a track record of lottery wins and say ... look those people won, I can do it too (;
You are only looking at track records in the "now" when they are actually winning ... Simply because there not much point in publicizing a losing track record, now is there ?

What the hell , lottery a totally different context it's pure luck no matter what logic you put in it . As of trading you can gain edge by whatever knowledge you acquired . Does 3 year ++ and new created account with more than 60.000 pips each and drawndown that low is not enough track records ? . When you trade millions of dollar and withdraw that amount of money sure as hell i consider one of the best in the field. It doesn't matter you have losing track record in the end what counts is how much your bank account grow from trading .

Of course lottery is pure luck
Trading does not require as much luck as in any game of chance, but the same rules apply, the major one being the Law of Averages.

More like good luck or bad luck, but it is still a game of chance. If you don't by a lottery ticket then you have no chance of winning.
Don't wait for the wind, take to the oars.

98% of traders here don't make any money. The ones that do, NEVER reply on comments/threads. Just lurking.

Serious traders don't measure their gains by % return of their account - to do that you need to keep all your capital in a broker account, and beyond a certain point that becomes silly. That's why you'll rarely see trade explorer/myfxbook accounts of real traders.

I was talking about big time traders. Which I doubt you are, if you keep all your money in a retail broker account.

From what I have seen here there are very few. What I have noticed is most profitable accounts only have a short history. This alone tells you something.

I dont really agree on this. I am a profitable trader and I have a thread here on FF where I share my trades withguys that follow me every day. They are profitable with me and are happy about it So not lurking around and not commenting on anything

what are you talking about? The fx woman mentioned above clearly has this. Two big accounts with millions with two reputable brokers. Is that not enough for you? It's quite clear this woman has made it and am managing funds for others now.
