Hey aksier.. Not exactly sure what you mean when you say capital, as I was referring to profits as the position (cash wise)I would be in if I had sold all my positions on Friday after noon compared to the Friday before (weekly profit). I dont have a break down of trades and what each one has profited or lost purely because its way to time consuming and unneccesssry for me. Remember also that i dont have any long term positions in my main trading account. Hope that makes sense.
As for profits per week, I average between 2 and 5% return on capital, with some good weeks up near 10%. I've had a few before Xmas which were I that range.. I want more but know quite well it's not sustainable..Remember also I only trade cfd's so leverage also maximizes the opportunity.
One thing I notice you do Aksier that I don't is calculate your profits as a percentage of turnover. Do you have any particular reason for doing this? Is it for effciency or some other reasons? I just haven't found a point of analysising this as I have the belief that as long as I hit or exceed my profit target for the week, my technique is working. I do notice that on a week where it's difficult for day traders, my turn over goes through the roof. This is primarily due to me entering and exiting a trade for no return or small losses more than usual. In some ways I see it as me trying to get something out of the market that it doesn't have to offer at the time.
So interesting to hear how others run their businesses. Thank for sharing Aksier.
