Divide by 19 (days) for an average of $43.42/day.

82.5% ROI to date.

82.5% ROI to date is a misleading ratio in the way you are using it. You don't really invest the entire $1000 at any point. I suppose yes you have increased the demo balance by 82.5%, but what are your per trade returns on risk?

I've prepared a simple spreadsheet to graph your per trade returns. It appears most trades are between 1 and 4 percent.

If I had to guess I'd say you are risking around 1 and 2 percent per trade.

Hmm... ok.

I'm not sure what you are thinking.

Hey certicex,
thanks for contributing to the forum so much. You seem to have made great progress in a short time. How long have you been trading? I am still a newbie but it's fun to see how differently I looked at the market one month ago. Do you have any reading recommendations?

Cheers,
Chris

I am thinking about results. Month end results.

I started with that, now I have this. Just happens to be an 82.5% increase.

If I have mislead anyone, that was not my intent.

Thank you!

Now that would be an interesting risk/reward ratio.

Thank you!

I am thinking that I agree you are reporting the percentage change of your account, but not the Return On Investment. You could report the %change per trade, and that would be closer to ROI -- although just another name for R:R.

You never invest the entire $1,000 at any one time.

Therefore the title of this thread is inaccurate.

Also, not sure what you mean by 'upgrading' your ROI. But let's not get into that one..

I know it was not your intent to mislead anyone, just clearing things up.

Hobbot: I was not analyzing the system.

Correct!

Ok, feel free to change it.

I upgraded the trade system to work better with a small beginning balance.

Thanks, mom.

Feel free to say anything you want anytime you want. Anything to make you feel better.

You may even straighten the pencils on my desk if you like.
