Not only that. Your broker will also be calling you with offers.

Using the markets money. I presume you are talking about making some profits and then using them to gamble recklessly right?

Or - in other words - make $1000 profit, then withdraw the original...

It seems that people are happy with an unscientific "is possible" but not with an unscientific "is not possible".

Thus far we have agreed on "10% per day isn't scaleable" - and no-one is asking...

In terms of $50k vs $100k account - no real difference in my opinion. What is important is how much you risk. As accounts get smaller & smaller, then it is harder and harder to make a reasonable...

Sysot

I will ignore your 'boring' comment as I am indeed adding to this as we go.

Day trading IS a sport. It is much closer to a sport than to an engineering discipline. Like a sport, you...

There are people out there that think they will make a living off a $5k stake. They are undercapitalized. This is the reason they look for ridiculous returns and blow their accounts doing so. This is...

Actually, the arguments FOR 10% a day are silly. They exist for a reason, to give hope to the undercapitalised. I know a few full time traders, some of...

Jon

Good points there.

$10,000 -> $2m in 10 months is actually a lot less than 10% per day.

If you compound $10,000 at 10% per day, then by day 57, you are at $2,079,651. So - even by one...

Actually - this will never become an issue. Let's say you start with $1000 and aim for 10% per day. You will never have a scaling issue because you will blow up the account before it ever happens....

Scaling is not the issue here. You could start with $100 on a micro forex account at Oanda and quite comfortably get to the point where you were trading millions without issue.

No it isn't.

It doesn't matter what size your account is. No trader can make 10% per day.

Still - this is what undercapitalized newbies want to hear - that they can turn their $3k account into...
