[amibroker] Re: Ideas for Swing Trading?

["dralexchambers" <dralexchambers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to clarify - Short Swing Trading is NOT a Holy Grail, and is NOT 
advertised as making 2.5% a day! I'm not sure where that idea has 
come from. 

To give you an idea how 1% a day is possible with intraday trading:

GBPUSD:
=======
Say you have a $40K account
5% capital risked per trade = $2000 per trade risked (Money 
Management)
Each trade has a stop loss of 10 pips

You therefore buy 20 lots: ($2000/10 pips) / $10 (pip value for 
GBPUSD)

1% of $40K = $400

You only have to make 2 pips profit a day (not incl commissions) to 
make $400 (2pips * $10 * 20 lots)

Or if you are not happy with 20 lots (too much), 5 lots and 8 pips a 
day profit.


Now do you see?
