new record 2300 % in one month

Quote from davidmaria1:

Ok, unless you wear turtlenecks and a beret, stop saying "cat".
:)
okay...how bout "one cool cat"...hey you brought up "string art"...how is the EUR/AUD trading going?
 
A discussion about $500 micro accounts contests @ the forum named "Elitetrader".... ROFLMAO...
############################

thread named about 2300% on 500$ account

This person ,which won fxcm 500 $ contest
expected to have more qualification to perform
good win with 10 000 $ account ( 100-700% per year)

Person which won FXCM with 2800$ start balance
and 1600% (in august 2008) expected to have better chance to perform good win with 50 000 $ per year( 100-400%)
 
There is no difference, 2400% on $500 or 24000% on $500, because all these amateur contests are absolutely irrelevant to real professional consistent trading day in day out...

Any idiot can nearly randomly open positions on max leverage, eventually catch a strong trend, multiply $500 account in a very short time and show it to impress fools about how much profit he/she made.

But it is not even nearly called trading in a business sense of the word.

If exist not advantage ,best strategy
to win ,limited quantities of operations
with heavy beat (100 % Risk)


Montecarlo roullete have advantage 51.60
to 48.40 . (with event game)

Retail in Montecarlo have only 48.60
Retail clients in forex very possible lower
as 48.60

To end of the year 90% of retail would loss ,5% would have zero ,4.9% average win and only
0.1% very good win

Average retail account life expectancy by forex
60 days.

Nonsense . All operations ,1000 per day
or one per year .with risk 0.1 % of capital or
100% of capital related

2. Game theory -Shannon,Kelly ,Morgenstern,Puancare
