this is a broad question, you have to more specific.
If you have have a 10k account, making 10% is not hard yearly for the next 10 years is not hard. But if you have like a 10 or 100mil account, its a lot harder.
Sorry, you are right!
Lets say a 100k account, and is there any specific instrument to trade with that is less risky (sorry for my English, Iam from Sweden).
Hello Simon: The question back to you is: Who is doing the trading? The ability of that person is the key to your answer.
If it was someone who has a PROVEN track record of at least 10% or higher with low drawdown, I'd say yes.. If the person your thinking about using (yourself?) has no proven abilities, I'd say the chances are your headed for a loss since it's widely accepted that beginners loose more then they gain for quite some time. Go with the odds. agpilot
Why the need to make 10% every year? Why not make 20% then lose 10%, on and on. Or make 40% and lose 50% once every 5 years and youd be rich in no time. Spend some time with excel
