The days of trying to make 100% of your investment in 1week as a trader should have been done for last year. I will be bluntly truthful to you today, some might be hurt by it, some will frown at it but some will accept it.
Regardless it doesn't make what I will say less of a truth. Trading is an investment vehicle who's primary purpose is to help you grow your dormant funds. Depending solely on trading to be able to take care of your monthly needs especially where your capital is very small is a good recipe for frustration and pain. And the major the goal of a good investor is not to triple your principle or at least double it in one day, one week or one month, rather to make sure that he compounds a considerable amount he generates for you consistently over a very long time which in return amounts to something reasonable.
An investor that promises you more than 3%-8% of your principle monthly will not sustain that portfolio(Mind you that's even too high). He might do well for 1wk or probably a month but he will eventually lose your principle. As long as that person invests and trades commodities in this forex market, he will not sustain it. I have many reasons to back up my claim but I will not go into that today.
Therefore if you must invest, get at least a $100 and try earning just 7-10% monthly for twelve months. If you succeed, Then you'll realize why trying to earn 100% of your portfolio in one month is such a destructive pathway to succeed in trading..
I will end this by saying that you should take advantage of prop firms.
1% of $100 is $1
1% of $1000 is $10
1% of 10,000 is $100
1% of $100,000 is $1000.
Forex investment after you've mastered your edge becomes a numbers game
