[QUOTE="Traders-Live, post: 13525, member: 5842"] [b]The Sad Facts Continue[/b] Due to a technical problem I was unable to post this yesterday, but here it is This last scenario was based on 200 pips per month and no losing months, at a 5:1 leverage. We have already discussed leverage, but let me remind you that this means 5 mini lots per trade position per $10,000 in your trade account, or 5 100k lots per trade position per $100,000 in your full account. As you can see, I have even allowed for a deduction of $100 per month for subscription fees! The account grows from a starting balance of $10,000 to a final balance of $88,200 after two years! Yes, that’s eighty eight thousand two hundred dollars after two years! This has been achieved at a conservative 200 pips a month with a very safe leverage of only 5:1, and you can see that most of the growth has come about through sensible growth and re-investing profits at a safe rate of return. That’s the power of compounding! Note how the number of lots traded grows as the account balance grows, enabling you to make more money from the money you have already made. If you push the projection out for just one more year, the profits are an amazing $274,200!! Well, if only it were as simple as that. The problem is that not every month is a winner (although 100% are at this time) and we don’t make 200 pips every other month. The good news is that we actually make over 300 pips per month most of the time, and the bad news is that we must allow for losing months. Ok, so let’s look at scenario 2 – a more realistic picture of what might be achieved. I have changed the winning months to 300 pips each (compare this to the actual results in the table on the first page) and have also allowed for three losing months of -350 pips each. Let’s look at the more realistic Scenario 2: [/QUOTE]
