Ok so here's the deal, as far as i know this has never been done, and i know that its highly unlikely that i'll ever make it, but i thought i'd better start my own thread about it.

the rules are simple

$25 starting balance, $25000 target

10 trades in 10 days or LESS.

double the volume with every trade (.1, .2, .4, .8, 1.6, 3.2, 6.4, 12.8, 25.6, 51.2)

target for each trade 25 pips or Margin call (250 pips total)

Please note that this is NOT how to trade a regular account, its a bit of fun to take the every day pressures off, to try and learn more about trading and to see if it could just be done!

Please, if you dont have anything constructive to say dont say anything at all.

There are a few people here who have all ready asked and its flattering, but i have no intention of managing accounts.
its all down hill from here!

So your 6th trade (lot size=3.2) failed on your first try, not bad! I guess one would need a system which can get much more than 10 consecutive wins and each win has to be really right, not much room in reverse. So the whole experience, including the final loss trade, was fun?

Hey, maybe if you can achieve it in only a few tries (say 10), once you achieved it and you got your $25 000, then you can actually use that and play at least another 1000 times. So, assuming you can win one game every 10 tries, that's 100 x $25 000 = $2 500 000 from using the money from the first won game alone! Or did I get my maths wrong? Maybe 1 in 100 tries is more realistic?

HI light,

yeah pulled the stupidest trade ever today! the system works, its just the human element thats subject to failure!

it was emotional, as vinney jones once said. i learned a lot and made some new mistakes that i'll not be repeating.

the admins have very politely asked me to keep these posts in the trading system section, so if ya want to follow the failures of another trader have a look at the system discussion.

thx for posting

psy

as i saw your graph, i would say: 'You did it', in your trading is too much risk.

It's a 1 of 1024 chance to get them all correct. The only secure approach is not betting.
