What are the stakes ?

you'd have a better shot getting to 50k if you start out with 500k
Sorry. I didn't get it properly. XDI think that such returns are easier made with small amounts. Size effects.. Depends the strategy ... But the probabilities are the same. Scaling.

Marty "Pit Bull" Schwartz was a heavy hitter in the S&P pit when it was introduced in the 80s. He made millions trading it. He tels the story when after he moved to electronic trading, he made a visit to the CME to see some of his old pals. The new traders gathered around as his reputation was known by all. They egged him on to make some trades and show his stuff. Being the Pit Bull, he had to trade size (the pit contract was already 5x the size of the ES) and he quickly lost a good bit of money.
Moral of the story....for most traders, exhibition trading is not only difficult but is also not smart.
I think Pekelo's post wasn't a troll post, but just based on the general observation that there must 9999 of these type of journals "$XXX to Y,000,000 in a couple of months" here at ET that usually do not make it past the first page of posts.
So 5k to 50k is achievable, perhaps the odds are against it, but so what!
