For the full year ending Jan 2006 I made an 800% return bringing my equity to 800k. I will admit that about 200k of the gains were because of luck. The rest was from a well thought out strategy I came up with during the losing years.
In Jan 07 I continued trading the account and gained an overwhelming 500%. The new strategy is still working. Remember, I am trading only futures and options.
With returns like this....you are for sure the best trader on this site and perhaps the world.
If you really have any money at all, I agree, take half out and continue trading the rest. What you have done probably won;t last forever.
Care to share your strategey? 500 to 800% returns...wow, you should enter some trading contests.
Can't wait to hear more!!!!!!

wht makes u think 800% per year isnt possible
if ur arnt as successful as others keep ur comments to urself
even if with so much leverage u cant achieve those returns then u shld consider quitting
Only 150k per year?Quote from ballstowall:
This is a year end review. I have been trading for six years and have made money the past two. I started with 125k six years ago and in Jan 2006 I had 100k. So I was losing a few percent per year. I decided to trade options and futures exclusively in Jan 2006.

In Jan 07 I continued trading the account and gained an overwhelming 500%. The new strategy is still working. Remember, I am trading only futures and options. My account stands at $3.7 m because I withdrew some for personal uses. My question to all the other ET is should I retire while the going is good? I know that this can't continue on forever and I may move the money into cd's and index funds for safety. I only need about 150k per year to suit my current lifestyle.
