some don't want to say how many 6 figures they made..
Then why bother posting? I think the point of this thread is to see how people did this past year, and you really need the % and $ amount to get an accurate picture. Making 100% on a $25K account isn't a big deal, nor is making $200K on a $5MM account. For intraday prop traders, the % is less meaningful.
For me, +$285K trading intraday prop ($2.5 MM BP).
Because the amount changed during the year with in and outflows...and returns ! Let's say you start with 300k$. After 6 months, you've reached 600k$ and have to do the same returns as for the first months of the year on that amount. So what? when you can multiply your wealth by 3 in a year you don't really care if it's out of 300k$ or 600k$. The thing I know is that I can sustain that kind of returns till around 5mio$. All the rest is totally uninteresting...
Is that enough answer for you ?
Thanks for your post. Most ETers will only post if it's positive.
All the best in 2007 to you!
ok ... here is a different spin on these numbers
of those of you who like me HAD a profitable yr :
what is the worst day or days , week or weeks
and percentage of losing weeks you had in 2006
more important ... if you work in a group or prop
did your risk manager or software ever tell you
or prevent you from digging yourself into a bigger hole
in those day ( s ) that you just were "comatose" ?
I won't go into the numbers myself at the moment
but lets just say I feel like larry williams who
one yr had a great yr but in reality had a huge drawdown
that yr as well.
