Colin,
Who/where are these successful people, and how does one (did you) find out
about them?

If you factor in "all" your (trading) assets, the answer is closer to yes
than to no, imho. But first, lets agree the capital base for measuring
return. For example, if you have an account of $500K, but you choose not to
risk it all, I think your return should still be based on $500K, not the
amount you risk.
For years, I've watched many investment paradigms, and I'm of the opinion
that purely tech analysis, or making decisions on "prices" won't return as
much as other kinds of analysis. (Of course that asks the question: what are
"other kinds" of analysis?)
The question isn't one of tech versus fundamental analysis that so many
people like to debate. What information you process to succeed is successful
analysis. There are quite a number of people who earn far in excess of 50% a
year, but they usually have difficulty articulating what it was they
actually analyzed or thought about that brought them to the decisions they
made to be successful. However, these successful people are easily
identifiable and you can emulate them somewhat, which will bring you closer
to a 50% return than not.

Is having a system that consistanly makes 1% a week asking too much ?
Having worked hard with TS2k for over 2years, trying various systems
(several that I and friends have put together as well), So many fall apart
in realtime.
Is anyone consistanly making say 2% a week (100% a year), over the last 3 or
4 years.
Is this asking too much ?
