No doubt, Binary Options are another OTC scam avenue to entice retail into financial markets and part them with their money. However, your article is pretty much incoherent and does nothing to explain why Binaries should be avoided. You could have highlighted fair value pricing for exchange...

Sam, Years ago, I was a disciple of your form of technical analysis. Unfortunately as the results of using your approach were based on the assumption of supply and demand zones which, when followed to the letter, produced very random outcomes. I needed further evidence that these zones...

"Assuming a trader can trade successfully".... Sorry but this is nonsense. Being successful (whatever that means) isn't as simple as flicking a switch and you then just adjust risk to increase your return, far too simplistic. The question is not redundant, I think you are just missing the...

Forexmos... stop spamming the thread.. again. The subject is 15% per annum / compounding / reality checks etc... keep on topic!!!

You can open an account with as little as $10? lol

That's actually one of your more balanced and comprehensible replies, welcome back. As I've said before, if you can do that consistently, then you're one of the outliers. For us meagre humans... or at least myself, 15% PA is more than enough ;)

Yes but your small capital balance is distorting the value of the return. Change your perspective, consider that 15% on $1,000,000. It baffles me how people expect to earn more with less, especially when it's more than the best in the business can generate. Good luck with that. Retail...

Use a cheaper broker... iweb (£5 each side) or IB...Or you can open the same position via a spread betting account depending on your time horizon.

Back to the subject of 15%. A few posts back, someone talked about what happens when you hit 15%. Well, it will depend on the circumstances of the individual. For most, hitting 15% return won't signify the time to go on holiday (maybe butlins?) but what it will do is confirm you've achieved...

Profit targets in relation to individual position risk and and the overall ideal risk per trade are separate but equally important topics to me. It's difficult to propose a specific approach with regards to these points as it will be different depending on the strategy, time-frames and frequency...

Tomorton, no one is saying risk 100% of your money for 15%. For all the misinformation that is propagated across the retail trading spectrum, risk per trade recommendations are actually one of the more realistic. Stanley Kroll I think was one of the early proponents of the now conventional...

Tom, I agree that it's easy to start daydreaming about how you will spend the riches you're soon to have when playing with a compound calculator but bear with me. The annual return I'm proposing is very different to the usual, indeed a few here are so shocked at the idea of a meagre 15% return...

A consistent theme is starting to appear across the responses that question whether 15% is an attractive annual return, specifically that it won't generate enough in real terms to justify the risk or effort involved. To these people, consider the possibility that a higher return in real terms...

+1 As with any other pursuit in life, you have to learn to walk before you run.. why would trading be any different?

You are a victim of conjecture. Stop making so many assumptions. My risk per trade for your benefit is 2%. I have numerous position running concurrently as do most position traders. Don't worry, you don't need to show your concern, I do well enough thank you. I trade around my job because I...
