Hi @alphahavoc I have fast tracked this exercise into 7-8ish days so as serious followers don’t lose interest… 30 days is a long time to wait for an outcome…
25% will be an eventuality, true and far more trades have been taken over a shorter period than would be required to get to the total… Strengthening the case that it can be achieved over a much broader time scale…
But if you were to run this profile to the letter (1.2% return per day) I still feel this would be a walk in the park… still 13 days to theoretically get it done.
All the risk is managed with this concept… Small account size…$500 to $1000 to begin with is not a huge investment for most serious traders to fund…begin by keeping funds in your Bank at Interest… not theirs for free
Account size is a component of the risk strategy, your not trusting 10’s of thousands to an unproven Broker…
1.2% of total account value should never be exceeded… Leverage is irrelevant because margin (if traded over 20 days) should never exceed 5-7%…Micro lot sizes a very necessary to control losses and drawdown…
As long as you have a sound trade strategy in place that can make +8-9 pips per day this works like clockwork… AND you will be continually gaining experience in a low risk environment…
I, like many others rely on a version of the SW strategy as demonstrated in Dennis’s inspirational thread… who’s results far exceed 25% per month, so I’m not sure what the issue really is…
