Opportunity for traderGOD?

without leverage that kind of returns are absurd.....I made a third of that
Not true padu, 1% is a very achievable daily return on account size, I do this frequently, with no leverage, today I exceeded that. The trick is being able to do this consistently with small drawdowns because it depends on how the market is behaving for your style of trading.
I mentioned mo06's journal previously, this guy is knocking it out the park quite consistently, however going thru his journal, a couple of times he's been smacked so hard he's stopped trading at times for some months in order to recover his nerve I think.
5% for a week under good conditions is do-able, but you need a bit of luck on your side regarding the market smiling at you.
Here's a journal entry of mo06 doing 5.23% for 2.5 days of trading.....CFD's I believe.

Thoughts
A short week due to the Christmas holiday.
The FTSE made another new low for 2018 on Thursday, following a hugely volatile day on Wall Street, when the Dow rallied over a thousand points.

We have another half day on Monday, before New Year's Day.

Just over double my 2.5% weekly benchmark, some really fast moves on the FTSE this week, had to be agile. I have no idea if we have made a bottom yet.


Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
