Okay you started with 500 ish, how long did it take you to reach a good fast account high ? what ever that might be!! I think I'm approx -$100 over the last 2 years and added approx $300 over the same time, but I get months of too busy to even look ...

I trade my own account for a living. Tell your story

The beauty of a small account is, if I blow my $500 I'll be upset for like 10mins before I log on and transfer over another $500 and start again, do that with 100K and different story unless your a millionaire++. Also because you don't care that ...

I trade my own account for a living. Tell your story

No I wasn't!! Ofcourse you can be profitable with 1 or 2 trades per month, if you have enough invested you might even be able to make a living from it, ofcourse with betting your wage on 2 trades you likely need both of them to profit nicely or you ...

No ofcourse $100 you can't, even my $500 you can't, but you can grow the $500 very quickly into say $10,000 then you'd have enough, if your capable of trading at that level. And NO you CLAIM you trade your own account for a living, have you proven ...

Just because you agree with him, doesn't make his point right, his point is right for the right person and wrong for the wrong person, therefore both points need to be listened to. This is rapidly turning into a if you haven't got a 100K, then why ...

3% might be your goal and your happy with that, 3% is enough to justify your time spent trading I presume but.......... Just cause that is the best you can do, doesn't mean it's the best anyone can do, there are a LOT of people in this world you ...

Greed, Fear and Confidence are the main issues, trading itself is quite simple, the market can only go 1 or 3 ways really ( up, down, sideways ) so it really can't be that hard can it ?? It takes years to get over the psychological issues, why most ...

No it's true, but rich people with 25K or 100K do the exact same, my $500 is worth what there 25K is to them after all, so they try just as hard to get to the 1 Mil over night. So it's a pointless arguement. Learn with $500 and turn it into a ...

There is no Holy Grail

So you can't make 10% per month consistently, but 1600% a few times then retire is fine, got it!! Am I the only 1 that's kinda confused!!

I actually think this is true, about the small accounts, hell, GUILTY!! BUT Everyone I know who's trading a large 25K and 100K account has done exactly the same and blown it, just like someone with a $500 account if not faster. So if you accept, ...

There is a Grail, it's just to simple for anyone to actually do, PayPal me £5000 and I'll tell all!! Anyone ?? No Dratts Okay here it is :- When the market is going up, go long and hold until the market isn't going up any more. When the market is ...

Sadly the richer people are the tighter they are ( not in a good way ), been using my skills for years to find a rich and generous bird, but it's always 1 or the other.

And on a good week your up 20%, stop worrying about the negative side, I presume your trying to trade profitably, so you'll have more 5 day wins than 5 day losers and you'll account will go up. And that's based on 1 trade per day, think 5 trades ...

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT there is no such thing as LUCK!!! This is off someone who believe if they trade at 1% risk for long enough with a method that's pretty much 50/50 eventually they'll get a lucky run and make some money. If you can make 1600% then ...

I trade my own account for a living. Tell your story

Start thinking 3-5% risk and 50pips per day so $3 per pip to make your $150, do that with a $2000 account, few months cash in the bank you could in theory build even a $500 account $1 per pip, into a $2000+ and therefore a wageage account. Tis all ...

So you have no issues with someone turning 2.8K into 45K in a month to win a contest from the look of it ( this is a demo account but close enough ), so that's 1600% in a month, but you don't believe 10% per month consistently can be done ? ...
