what is the maximum mathematically possible daily profit

[Sprout]

Well in forex you can have a micro account, a mini account, and a standard full size account.

Too little info - can't be done.

Percentage of fackin' what?

500x1 means $1000 deposit controls $500,000 of units of a particular currency. Then what?

A 1% captured move would be 5x on the $1k deployed capital.
or
Account liquidated when it moves 0.2% against you.

That's what I meant in my post. But it does not have to be 0.2% as there is also a spread (bid/ask) and commissions to pay. So before the 0.2% is reached he will be wiped out already.

ZERO
because of many reasons:

• volatility
• spread bid ask
• commissions
• losing trades
• etc...

Nobody can survive this.
But theoretically you can open a trade, the trade never goes in the opposite direction and goes limit up. if you want to repeat that a few times your result will get down to zero.

This is what we are lead to believe. The truth is the opposite. Ideally you want to get ahead fast when you are correct so that the anomaly is not as painful. All the mahor hedge fund managers know this and express it in interviews. You guys dont know better than hedge fund managers and you certaintly dont know better than me.

The challenge still has not been satisfied. Im waiting for someone to correctly answer the question. It is a question that takes time an energy, it is part of every traders development. Everyone avoids it because it requires so much thought. I'll wait... this is boring.

Your hypothetical question is unanswerable.

And normally, I would never mention this to
a person because I don't like to nitpick, but
you have insulted other members' intelligence,
referred to them as losers, and I find you to
be extremely rude.

The past tense of lead is led, and because
you don't seem to know this information,
you have no room to talk or correct anyone
about anything.

Please stop being so offensive. There is
nothing more boring than oafs like you.

Have a GREAT day everybody!

Yes but where was $1000 capital deployed mentioned or a 1% move?

Like I said previously, too little info.

The OP is sending us on a wild goose chase with loosely worded terms like "catch it all"...

WTF does that mean??? Is,he suggesting buying the absolute low and selling the top,or catching every swing,rinse repeat while magically side stepping a 20 bps correction??

If you think what leverage you use depends on what leverage your broker offers you, then you are clueless about trading.

Assume you are consistently profitable,there only two factors to decide what leverage you use:
1. maximize your profit;
2. ensure that your account will never blowout.

So it is the risk of ruin that limits the maximum leverage you can use, not the leverage your broker offer you.

Also, I think OP's topic is meaningless.
Too assume one can catch every market move on a day, is like to assume one goes to a casino and wager 10000 times, and win every time.

Duh!!

 

[Pelt]

assuming you can catch it all, what is the maximum daily profit percentage possible with 500:1 leverage....

Interesting topic. Is the answer that you are looking for simply, that you can MAKE or lose 500 times whatever you risk?

Or, expressed as a %, 500% of whatever you choose to risk(500*R)?
