As told by Larry William, maybe the Holy Grail of trading is money management. As yet this equation may be the Holy Grail.
Say an $10,000 account, you are going to risk 20% of the total capital* - the risk factor
* Larry took 60% risk for his 10,000 to 1.1 million trading champion and his daughter 20%
And for every trade how much are you going to risk i.e. risk per trade, say a $1000
Total contract you can trade = (Total capital x risk factor)/risk per trade
Therefore you can trade 2 contracts at a time.
For time being, as you win you increase the total capital and you will increase the contract trade by the equation vice versa.
I use a more realistic example of make 5% profit per week ($500/week) with 48 trading week in a year and only trade one contract at a time.
The return is 340%. What happen if we use the above equation to trade. Since I want to make it simple, what I do is: ONLY increase contract trade for every 10,000 increase in capital.
From this we can see a 650% return in a year. Compare to the previous chart we see a 100% increase in return. A 1600% return in previous post seem to be unreal in trading or he who has to be very good. n fact 650% mean that we are trading a 100% winning system, which is not quite possible. So we assume to trade a system of 55% winning rate, we still get the return of 357%
5% still hard for you, how about making 3% per week that is for $10000 invested or one contract you only need a $300 profit which can be achieve in a matter of minute. But what we require here is a week's time.
Here is what you got, a 289% profit, and if trading a 55% wining system, you still get 158% return impress? Compare to the average 10-30% per annum return in stock market
