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 begs the question: what are
"other kinds" of analysis, which is a huge topic to say the least.
Now that I've raised the question, which isn't one of tech versus
fundamental analysis that so many people like to debate, successful analysis
is defined by your success. What information did 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.

Subject: Asking too much ??
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 ?
