If you do not have valid 5 year data from a real broker account verified by a independent licensed accountant no one will ever care. Over at collective2.com there are hundreds of strategies that perform very well over a short period of time, but they all crash 'n burn or fade away in long term.

Nice story, thanks for sharing. Well, thats human nature I guess, greed, lust for action, lust for quick profits. Real trading is boring and that why most newbies then to charter to day trading for the daily rush of adrenaline, just like the schmucks at the casino tables. Must say it's very...

Well. The win/loss relationship is symmetric, a fixed 1:1 risk/reward ratio. Most people prefer to have a larger win payout than the loss part, for example 1:2 or higher.

Could do if I wish too, this year my account grew with $130,000 to $320,000. But I like to keep my day job as an IT Sys Eng. that gives me an extra $65,000 income annually. Maybe one day in the future then I reach the golden 1 million goal. :)

If your trading/timing strategy have a positive edge of lets say 70-to-30% or higher I dont see why it should'nt work if you have enough equity to sustain maybe 20-30 losing trades in a row. But it's a totaly crazy idea and you get almost the same exponential growth by pyramid and compound...
