    Is Annual 15% Riskless Return Possible?

    In theory, annually compounded 15% growth, for 40 years (from 30 to 70), shall give you 1.15^40 = 267.8635 =260 times. For example, if one start with seed of 10K at the age of 30, he should have 2.6M at the age of 70. If you live ten more years to 80, then 1.15^50 = 1083.657 = 10.8M...

    My PnL: From 170k to 460k in 14 months

    If 170k to 460k in 14 months, annually compounded rate is x= 1.161333 by 170*(1+x)^(14/12)=460 Therefor for the next 10 years yours will be 2.16^10 = 2210.739 times and 30 years later 2.16^30 = 10804695562 times. Probably Buffet and Gates should be broke 30 years later

    Largest Private Traders

    Based on the fact that with annual 20% compounded return once can make 4000 times of initial seed, over 45 years, 400M might be the largest capital if average seed can be 0.1M by saving. See 1.2^45 = 3657.262 from 30 to 75 years old. If you revolve the credit card (with APR 20%) from 30 to 75...

    Goal in 2015: $92k to $150k

    Of course, 1.15^30 = 66.21177 and 1.15^50 = 1083.657 Starting with seed of 100K (10K) at the age 30, you will have 108M (10M) at the age of 80.

    Goal in 2015: $92k to $150k

    If one can say 30% for 30 years, he should make 1.3^30 = 2619.996 times. 40% for 25 years, he should make 1.4^25 = 4499.88 = 4500 times. To compare those performances equally, let the length of investment be 50 years (from 30 to 80). For 20%, 1.2^50 = 9100.438 (100K becomes 910M) For...

    Furthermore, since most readers in this article did NOT spend 45 years in trading yet, tell me 1) In my first 5 years, my seed has been compounded to 1.2^5 =2.48832 = 2.5 times. 2) In 10 years, 1.2^10 = 6.191736 = 6.2 times. 3) in 20 years, 1.2^20 = 38.3376 = 38 times. 4) in 30 years, 1.2^30...

    How long did it take you to become a **consistently** profitable trader?

    In my guess, at least 5 or 10 years is necessary to say "I have profitable logic" for almost sure. If you say, like Buffet, that over 45 years my profit was outperformed 12% over the index, then surely you are the winner. Note that in the last 45 years the SnP500 index showed roughly 8%...

    "Real Winners Are Equity Traders"

    Theoretically equity investing is like real estate and bond although future/option/FX is zero-sum. The former reward the economic growth and inflation. But the latter is like lotto and casino poker and no inflation at all. However, I do NOT buy "some stocks can double/triple in a year or go up...

    29 yr old Investment Banker Jumps To His Death From Manhattan Luxury Apt

    Possibly, he paid too much expense in rent, so that he become all-in eventually. Someone pay as much as about 50% of income, to the luxury house. The other 50% goes to car payment, to starve to death. He chose quitting life, instead of living in street or in car.

    [IB newbie] Market data feed is not working?

    I agree yours. $10/M equal to $120/Y, is also equal to 50*120=6K, if you can live 50 years more. Therefore signing 10/M is same as 6K contract.
