So you need 10,000 pips to double your account?

What an interesting viewpoint...
I began posting trades w/e 17th Sep and use between 0.5% and 1% risk. The account i'm using for this has increased 41%.
...when i was trying to trade for a living 2008-2009 and put myself under too much pressure, i made 16% the whole yr. Lots of lessons learned.

accounts can grow, without fireworks and fanfare and excessive self-promotion.
just simple, consistent, quiet, gentle, trading.
is Flashy still with us? he seems not to be around, of late.
(I will close this week in the red. hope you guys did better)

16% is not to be sneered at, especially when comparing to most Hedge Funds.

Maybe Flash took a short break - I do it from time to time and found it quite beneficial (to the trading performance).
I took only few trades and made a small profit - I would classify it as a rubbish week.
PS Impressed with ChowClown's way - risking only 0.5 to 1.0% per trade, and 41% up in two months. Excellent!

I dunno 16% of 1mil, or 41% of 5 grand? Horses for courses as you would say...different pressures bring their own pressures...

I only dip in and out of this thread but iirc he had circa 20 losses in a series/wiped out all his earlier gains and decided to re-appraise his revised strat...
If he has been profitable so far, then it doesn't really matter, he can always increase the leverage/capital to scale.
50% off @45, stops not @b/e just yet.
