LOL sounds like you really mean Federal reserve notes, more than monopoly money
Did 15-20%, but thats an average.
Dave Ramsey always says ''better than i deserve'' Never did really understand 100%exactly what he meant, maybe tryin' to avoid a guilt trip.
I can gross 100%+ net 80%in my metals business ; but not that much in silver or copper part .
Most service busineses can do better than 20%, per week consistently .Some are seasonal.
WOW some one just gapped up 12%[ 40-52%] since the start of this thread[not me]
Metals dealer, did say/today he thought copper was gong up another 10%[gross][Edit 100%+ but meaning here 100% and 80% net\ low \ volume metals

Performance for 2 weeks is meaningless.
A YTD or the last quarter would have been a better question.
Also, % performance by itself can be misleading if we don't show the risk involved.
DD (opened + closed), Stdev, distribution, etc.
You are right. But I needed to make a point. There are endless variations possible if you include risk metrics too. The opinions are very divided when it comes to measure risk, which one is best to ask. But you can make another poll with some risk metrics included too. I will look that I participate then too.
But a 2 weeks period is not meaningless if you trade much. For a scalper, daytrader and short term swing trader this is already a meaningful period. Of course for position traders it would be meaningless but that was not asked in the poll. Most traders here are also short term traders when I asked it on previous polls (last year) so the 2 week period is something to consider, this is also because most are profitable within a month in average or even in shorter time periods. This was also asked in previous polls and is confirmed already. But if you are not profitable every month usually then this poll is not for you.
