Interesting thread, I was googling how much people trade per pip and came across this thread. I also found an indian thread where people bet like 30 cents or something
Not belittling people who bet small amounts but I think it is better to bet a decent amount per pip for the following.
I trade 500k per trade, sometime double up to 1 mil if I am feeling cocky. My brother does double me sometimes even though he has a smaller account but he has a higher risk profile than myself.
Basically my aim, is to make 2k usd per day. My account size is large enough that I am never anywhere near a margin call.
The beauty of trading this size is if you are not greedy it is pretty easy( but not always) to trade 50-100 pips and do your daily target in 20 minutes-2hrs if you are lucky and choose good entry points.
Also it is real money, 2k a day will more than pay for a man's needs.
So basically as people previously mentioned and rubbished that guy that 10% per week is doable. It is in just 2 trades a day. I can see why people lose with an underfunded account, I have been there myself, leverage kills probably 9 out of 10 people.
I can also see that the more money you have the more comfortable it is to really make significant amounts per month and not be in the trades for too long.
