One trade a year. It is enough

Hello.
If a trader can identify a perfect one trade a year, he/she can make 100% a year.
If RR ratio is 1 to 5 and you bet 20% then it will go to 100% profit.
Can we do it?

Trading is not gambling. Risk management is one of the most important aspects in this business. By doing 20 percent per trade, it’s just a matter of time until you’ll blow your account because losing streaks are part of the game and no one can avoid them.

You need to have a realistic approach to succeed in trading.

Hello. Thanks for your comment.
Can we find a perfect chance a year or not?
Just one time.

No you can’t. There’s no perfect setup. Each trade can go wrong, no matter how many confluences you used to take your position.

With a 20 percent risk per trade, each loss will hit hard into your equity curve. This means that your expectation of only 1 trade per year is unrealistic.

There is no such thing as a perfect trade, unless you’re a time traveller. Once you place an order it’s in the hands of God what will happen next. The only thing you can control is the risk.

Thank you for your suggestion. Just discussion.
However, as I do trade for many years, I see the perfect setups. So I just wanted how others feel about it.

Reply to thePipTrader and Bentrader it’s possible obviously just making the point you wouldn’t risk 20 per cent ,you be pyramiding and moving stops in an ideal world

…are not perfect trades.

as above Everything looks perfect with hindsight

You can make a lot of money from a single trade idea but as @greenscorpio suggests above you would need to find a good trade and pyramid additional positions onto it as it gathers more and more profit.

The original trade idea would need to remain valid of course, and there is no way on earth of knowing which pair will move continuously upwards or continuously downwards for 1 year from today.

But do you need to know the perfect trade? Its also possible to let the market tell you. Just go long in uptrends and short in downtrends and let price tell you if you stay right or wrong. If the trend fails get out. if the trend continues, add to it.
