+15,000%, 10 years ago + Trying to Make It

Hi friends! The headline probably made you think “another scam!”, right?
No, not a scam: 1. Here is proof and another proof. 2. I don’t sell anything! 3. This happened in the past and I can’t do it anymore.

In fact, since back then I’ve never been consistently profitable in forex trading for more than half a year. Here is my longest profitable account since the +15,000% back in 2015-16.

This trading journal will be of my two recent strategies, that I hope, only modestly hope, can make me profitable for longer than half a year. The forex strategy is based on all my 11 year knowledge and experience. The stock trading strategy is based on my stock investing strategy that I started in Nov 2023 and made 90% since then.

  2. Stock trading strategy - Myfxbook - Backtest - Fundamental, fully automated, large companies.

P.S. Please don’t ask me to share the exact mechanics of my strategies. It’s only a trading journal. I only share the progress and general truths and ideas that made me what I am and can be valuable for beginners. Please read my other posts on the forum for some ideas I believe in.

Frankly, if you’re not trying to sell anything, then remove those claims, especially since you are saying you “can’t do it anymore” and “never been consistently profitable”.

I won’t remove those “claims”, since they are not claims, but reality - a part of my trading journal, that describes my trading journey. Please be polite in my post.

That’s some record. Nice work! I don’t think it’s impossible. Tough for sure. I did the AI search and it says to gain 15000% over two years, you need an average of about 13% each month for 24 months to hit that.

So you went from $30 to something like $5k? Did I understand the numbers right?

I wonder what kind of leverage you were using (if any) and what kind of risk management you had. I think you had some bigger than 1% of acct trades on the line. Any guess what the largest trade you had on was?

Thank you! The return was distributed very unevenly. Here you can see another account that I connected to Darwinex and you can see the monthly returns. Yes, it were crazy times!

Yes, but only on one of my accounts - the one from FxPro (statements). I had several accounts at different brokers. That was the way to trade the news back then. You had to distribute.

The leverage was 1:400/1:500. The risk I took was crazy because the win rate was amazing: around 90% and the average R:R was also really good. I see that the largest trade I had on the account is 1.16. Considering that the largest SL was around 30 pips and by that time the balance was around 4k so the risk per that trade was around 10%. But it’s not how my risk management works. Back then I think I already saw it in a different way. I described it here.

Thanks to my new backtesting algorithm the forex strategy has grown from 13 to 27 pips per day.
