No problem, easy mistake to make! Wish I could turn $100 into $3k! lol.

Interesting are there other places or competitions you have traded before?

    Hi - it the best account - Very very impressive
Good luck


If you mean this account with +4000% profit from June till today, then its *not* the best account. Far from it... Its only couple of months and remember that even a very bad system can give huge profits for couple of months. So couple of months tells nothing really about the system. Needs more data...
    If I was to look best system here (excluding mine, which I really think are top ones :) ), I would definitely look many things. Profit % is not so important like many think. Its also how he/she trades, how much data, how long period, Maximum drawdown etc etc... %-profit is only about 20-30% factor in the judgement. I would not consider any system with less than 6 months data.

    I do not see any problems. Let's wait for six months. Yes.. By the way, 2 months have already passed.
Yours faithfully, Arbatov.


I just said, that the statement 'it the best account' is not true (if 'best' means: a system where to put your money in just by looking at this sites data). The same way like the statement 'dogs can fly like eagles' is not true. Thats the only thing I said. It is possible that the system is very good, but it does not change the fact that the statement is still false.

Let me correct myself a bit. I just recognized one error in my text. Instead of saying: '...its *not* the best account...' I should have said: '...its *not* the best account in a way that I should chose a system from here to put my money in...'. As I said earlier, it is possible it is a very good system but we just cannot know it yet by the data.

At increase in the capital, the trader wants to lower risk. The more the capital, the is less risk. For this reason, the trader trades in another's money.


I agree with this. I do the same couple of years now: my capital has been small, so I use like 30-35% expected drawdown setting/risk. But, did somebody give me to trade a very large capital, I would decrease the risk to around 18-20%. Even if I lose all my own capital (which should not really happen the way I do my money management even if the risk is bigger), its not the end of the world. But it would be much worse to lose huge capital.
