thanks shadowninja - i'll check out your blog later.
Maybe i'm just being stupid but if a black box system can prove significant returns over say 5 years and it is obviously in their interest to generate these returns consistently in order to get more subscribers / larger monthly subscription...
well epistome - a roulette wheel ( European ) is virtually guaranteed to lose you 5% of your capital on a long term basis courtesy of the green zero so i now know i can discount anything you say - but thanks anyway !
ok elite - interesting - thanks
episteme - id be interested to know why you think that id be " off my rocker " to expect 40% from a black box system.
There seems to be some serious candidates on collective2 and others like ls trader that consistently deliver these kind of returns
thanks elite jets. Maybe i was not clear enough episteme. I have traded with small amounts of money ( £3000 - £5000 ) over the last 10 years but with no real strategic plan / money management in place. Won some lost some , haven't kept track of where i am - no doubt lost more than i made.
But...
With a £200,000 spread betting account how realistic is it to expect to achieve a 40% return in year one ( ie £80,000 ) ?
I know this is a very general statement but i would be interested to get some views. I fully appreciate that a high risk attitude would be required and am prepared to work...
