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.
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.
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)?
