On a standard lot of 100K, a pip is roughly $10. On a microlot of 1000-size, a pip is only 10 * (1000 / / 100000) = 0.10. $10 pip is $100 on a standard lot but is only $1 on a microlot so that you do...
    I've never understood what the problem is with higher leverage. In case you have a small account, simply trade smaller positions?
    Doesnt matter what your leverage is. If you get stopped out and you risked 2 percent, then you lose 2% regardless of what your leverage has been.

    High leverage is a great tool since it allows you to have lots of transactions without using much margin, and that means that you may hugely reevaluate buying power with a small account.

    2000-5000 is a great beginning amount in my opinion.

    gt;5 percent pa = greater than 5 percent pa

    I remember getting 5 percent PA in a bank like 10 to 15 years ago. At a term deposit. And that I did, and it had been great.

    I really should target a bit higher than that? What's your logic behind this particular advise?

    Seriously? You want me to see a thread that's 1840 pages long? You might not believe I care about some fools risking too much and earning 20% per week. Everyone can make 20%for a time period, but that time period likely will not be quite long. Do you believe that they're still earning 20% per week now.

    Imagine how much money you might have if you compounded 20 percent weekly? Can you envision it guy?

    Looking at proportions over interval x is not an ideal way in approaching things. I make a high percentage gain per week compared to my account but my account is little in contrast to my net worth. Yes, I utilize a higher risk per transaction than the usually recommended 1-2% but I double my account regularly and then draw my gain or parts of it when I wish to increase the size of my positions. In case I kill my entire account I would be (of course) a bit angry but in the long run I'll let it out in the gym and just fund a new one using a little part of the winnings I created before.
    I am not saying that egy is ideal but it has some advantages for me.

    Ended the week with $~4800 after two days of trading. That is around 21% of my foundation capital in two days.

    I am strict with my risk and money management so that I don't wipe out my account and my profits.

    My minimum target is 25% each month, I am averaging 50%. However, this month so far I am just up by 15%. Not much I could do for all these past 2 weeks due to my lack of skill.

    I want 10% each week. When it is less than 5% I feel like doing something wrong.
