Taking 5,000 to 100,000

Your basically saying you want to score a touchdown when your at your own 5 yard line. Life and trading are a game of inches get the education strategies know your market discipline all these things need time. And time my friend...is money.

Is it possible?

Has this been done in a retail platform?

Best instruments? options or futures?

Mode of posting: Realtime? EOD blotter capture?

Timeframe? intraday or multi day swings?

Possible benefits? Exercise in disciplined trading, journal for posterity,.......?

I'm pondering to start posting on this board to test if it is possible without blowing up once. Open to suggestions.

I know back in the 90s I had heard of a few people that took a $10k account to $1 million in 1 year in futures...of course margins were alot smaller back then.

In other words, it's possible if one takes the correct actions. And that is the entire purpose of what I want to do. By posting, I hope to be held accountable for any stupidity I may engage in.

I don't know of anyone who has done this. However I do know someone who has taken a 10K account to 0 numerous times. Me.

By posting trades, I hope to be beaten into a pulp by board members should I begin to engage in any irrational stupidity. I plan to take only setups that have good reward to risk ratios. I'll post the plan once figured out.
 
FOREX gives you 50:1 leverage so if you can manage your risk well enough it's do-able.

There is a guy i recently had pointed out to me on a site called Aussie Stock Forums named Trembling Hand and he scalped with about 1K and ran it up to 50k in 6 or 7 weeks.
 
Not hard. Find a big group of friends (perhaps from an online forum) and head to Vegas, each with $5k. Each person bets a number on the roulette table... one of you will hit the 35 to 1, and walk away with $175k.

That person can then proceed to write a blog and multiple books about the secrets behind his ultra successful gambling strategy.
