:) It is not bringing me any money yet, but it is already 12-7 job for me.

I see, no , no problem on mental side. I know that what matters is %. As long as I follow proper risk control/ money management I will be fine. I trade money I cannot afford to lose for now. Hopefully I will start adding money monthly to my account starting march. knock the wood. I would really love to trade bigger amount of my own money.

I enter only with limit/ stop orders.

I would say $100 000 - $2 000 000 would not have liquidity problems if to trade with 1% risk per trade and stop of 40-100 pips.

I think people here should not forget that I am only 2 years and a couple of months in this business at all. I am still learning and improving. same time last year I was struggling to make 1-2% monthly and 2% DD was a horrible thing to me. Now I had up to 7% months, vast majority of my months are profitable and October would have been 10-12% month had I closed my winning positions in full instead of closing half and moving stop to BE.I have tendency to sabotage my results like it happened in November. What I need to do is to reduce mistakes and also reduce DD in losing months plus improving ov...

I am aiming at this and somewhat higher at my account. I have no $1 mil and hopefully I will be able to start building my own account up starting March 2011 by adding monthly $ and trading it up. when I can make 5-6% consistently with 1% risk per trade I will be looking for investors as well. It doe snot matter what size of account until it is a really big one. The most important is consistency and risk control.

I am not a greedy person. May be I am not looking to manage those kinds of money. I will be connect to trade with account which is big enough to have a good life from my trading results but not to have liquidity issues.The fact is that not many make money in this business at all high returns almost always mean high risk.

Hello Ghanima, thanks for comments, however i know I have my own opinion which is backed by the fact that 5-6% is really a good return and saying that if I trade smaller amount I must make more % means that you imply taking more risk, which is not good. 4-5 digit account can be ruined same way as can be a really big account and visa versa. If I can do it is small account I can do it with big if I trade small account same way i am going to trade a big one. which means risking 1% per trade. What is important how much you risk to make certain return. when you tarde like me without risk of blow ou...

Invest Company with existing Investors looking for Traders (Partners) في التجار ذوي الخبرة Dec 11, 2010 at 01:02

Hello Karlo, I think you are a little bit too extreme but I understand you considering your style and styles of majority traders at Oanda forum. They let losses run. I think 6-8 months of good consistent trading results with good risk control and ability to make profit while cutting losses short is enough to distinguish good trader from bad one and the one who actually can trade and preserve capital.

I actually somehow found prop or some other kind of firm here in Toronto that actually looking for good Forex traders and probably other traaders as well.Contacted them few times and even came to their office. They gave me demo to trade. $50 000. Traded for 3 weeks and made 6% risking up to 1% [per trade. maximum DD was 2%. They are looking at me noww and hopefully I will get some real amount to manage or may be they will want to watch me more with my real funds. anyway, I am getting better and better at this business.

I actually always use hard stops. all trades are opened with predetermined stop loss. It can be seen from myfxbook history.

I have no problem with either losing or winning.I will cut loss when it is 1% of my account whether this 1% is $10 000 or 1 million.

Reasonable monthly/ annual returns في التجار ذوي الخبرة Dec 09, 2010 at 22:31

I think that 5-10% DD is a reasonable. I used to risk 2-3% per trade but decided to forgo this kind of risk. I am only risking up to 1% per trade and have no more than 2 trades opened same time.I think it will certainly protect me against kind of DD I had in November. I also was not taking profits in November despite having really good trades with up to 200 pips in profit at maximum. all ended as BE trades but took losses. so, I am taking reasonable profits now. 3% left to trade back by now. i am not going to push myslef these last 2 weeks of the year. probably will make a break in a week till...

I would not use martingale. I did not know what it is but I did use it in the very beginning of my trading. Losses can grow exponentially.

Reasonable monthly/ annual returns في التجار ذوي الخبرة Nov 24, 2010 at 07:54

We obviously have similar goals in mind. But although I have heard about Sharpe ratio I have no idea what it is. Is it some kind of mathematical representation of risk vs reward?I understand perfectly well that high returns almost always means higher risk hence there must be some kind of reasonable goal. By now I am still working on my trading approach. I want to have a couple of strategies to be able to trade when there is a strong trend according to my parameters to swing / trend follow it and to day trade when there is no trend. I think when conducted properly both approaches can be lower r...

drgoodvibe, thank you for encouragement and kind words. I am like a boxer looking to find a right range and build a portfolio of methods to make sure that i am armed for all situation, make returns the way I want and thus ready to manage OPM funds. This is why all these up and downs on my accounts. cause I am always testing news things. I decided to use small one for testing and big one trade after I tested something on small. I would be happy with 2-3% monthly but I doubt it would be very inciting for investors. Hence I am looking to get myself to the level when i can average 5-6% monthly con...

Long term goal is to become a very good trader. The rest will come.

Reasonable monthly/ annual returns في التجار ذوي الخبرة Nov 10, 2010 at 08:44

Yes, it is what I am looking for. 5-10% is excellent returns . Firstly I want to achieve this the way I want, not just any way. Then I would say I am ready to manage OPM. Still has work to do.

Reasonable monthly/ annual returns في التجار ذوي الخبرة Nov 08, 2010 at 23:50

I am not making or looking for such returns. It was about someone else. I am looking for 5-10% monthly. and yes, I will be looking for investors when I am happy with my results.
