I think as a percentage, not in dollars

A friend of mine recently made an interesting observation: most novice traders prefer to think and speak in dollars and not in proportion to their loss or profits. I think he is right, I've often notices times again how neophytes really struggling to believe in this. Talk about how lost $ 6,000 or $ 7000, but so what? 6000 $ to a million dollar is a changing chop. What is interesting, many so-called trading gurus (but essentially Mountebanks) taking full advantage of this weakness of beginners to think in percent, when trying to sell their consultancy and trading systems.

Here is what you usually hear in some commercial seminar and read some futures trading web site: open account 5 K, begins trading S & P 500 eminis futures ". Yes, indeed, to buy or sell a contract only requires $ 3600 margin or so. Hence 5 K allows freely negotiate a contract. Commission for trading S & P emini is small, literally couple of dollars, so you can both inside and outside of these market several times a day. S & P 500 eminis in a typical day to move point 10–15 up or down. Each moving point is equal to $ 50 dollars. So, I would like to say a hacker: "If you capture only 4 points out of these 15 will be $ 200 per day, and will teach you how.

Precisely because this sales pitch is in dollars is not a percentage people get seduced by this kind of talk: anyone can put an account 5 K, and $ 200 per day is a lot of money for many people, however, this does not appear to be astronomical, does not seem to be "too good to be true". And so people think it means a fishing just four point move out of daily 15 sounds doable.

However, let's put that $ 200 percent in the long term. On behalf of 5000 $ 200 dollars per day: 4% per day or 80% per month or 1155% per year. If you keep making $ 2,000 per month, and if you do not withdraw a month would make enough money to be able to trade 2 contracts simultaneously in 3 months, you have several commercially 4 contracts simultaneously, and so on. In less than one year, your account will be worth 1 million dollars! Again in Parliamentary percent, 80% per month means 1155% per annum on a compound basis.

Now, if you express in percent, look for astronomical. Now that smell like very-good-to-be-true proposal: nobody makes this much profit, not even Warren Buffet! Such percent return means that starting with 5 k can become richer than Bill Gates just a few years!!

Yes, because people do not catch the lie? People hate thinking as a percentage. Avoid thinking a percentage! You smack them with this 1155% p.a. right into account, but will ignore and keep thinking: "$ 200/day is doable and is air-conditioned. Isn't one of those idiots: love-hate dollars rates!!

You can't Turn 500 $ to 1 million dollars?

Sounds like one of their e-mail scam offering to translate to a $ 500 million dollars or more. Kind of expect it to be accompanied by some weird story about a deposed dictator tying to get cash from a place you've never heard really couldn't find on a map unless the index was really, really good. But has been piqued and you have that nuisance "WH" feeling in the back of your mind.

So, is it really possible to efeyrw until almost unimaginable amounts of money with such a small point of departure? what kind of cash you could get out of an ATM without enabling something suspicious.

Today, near enough anything is possible (or so it seems).

In order to obtain this kind of growth throughout your life, you'll need to do something rather more than put a small amount into a Bank and let the miracle of compound interest work their magic. Certainly, work in novels such as the restaurant at the end of the universe, but that it took a long time and it was, after all, fantasy.

To grow your money two thousand Fold needed something more dramatic.

Could start your own business and with great success and a decade or two there is a likelihood, it would be worth a sum million dollar.Various dot com millionaires have managed to do something similar, but it requires a lot of hard work and perseverance.

Stocks and shares are another possibility but probably you'll need to get in early for a company like Microsoft or Apple to stand any chance of achieving the kind of development that asked the question in the title.

Most likely investment to transform a fistful of dollars one million or more is currency trading.Has the great advantage of oriented means that they are magnified every little twitch of the price of a currency pair.

Of course, who can work both ways as ads to say that you're too scared to read small print detail there is a good chance that it will come live unless you know what you are doing your rationalisation but that thought with the qualification that isn't almost anything else in life will not expect to be able to drive a car without lessons from someone more experienced and the same goes for growing your bank with trading Forex.

The other thing you need to achieve this goal is self discipline; it is much easier to let your money grow when you've got only a few hundred or few thousand transactions to your Bank have nerves of steel to leave a few hundred thousand sit there, but if you don't do this, reduce the power of composition and to increase the time it will take to attain what is actually quite able target.
