100% returns

nothing special if it was luck. but if it was from a regimented method, then you look at the market as a ATM.

The problem comes in when it was luck but you think it was from a regimented method. Then the market shows you it was just luck afterall.. as many realized in March 2000.

In how brief a time? Month, or week?

Even though the duration (time it takes to reach this 100% point mark) matters when measuring your performance... it shouldn't matter to my question.

(Talking about individual stocks)
I've read about it but could I do it? I did it. Can I do it again? It's possible. I did it, again. Now what? It gave me more confidence, and more patience. Much quicker to cut a loss or weed out a bad pick. It was just too damn hard getting the 100%.

The enemy was selling too early, I try to avoid the traps of the past. My criteria has changed.
 
I'm up 123% in the last 12 months and I don't know the answer, I guess I still have work to do.

My guess would be... you can now withdraw your initiatial capital and you still have an account size equal to your starting size, except your risk is all market profits.
