ya to trade full time..kinda either need to have big funds or high returns

if u got 500k, 1 year make 10% return is about 50k or 4k+ a month which is not bad ... 10% is also quite realistic but some aggressive ones could aim 20% or higher

when I was younger I use to trade US/HK/SGX.. very tiring... I now old uncle liao, currently 100% on sgx only.. cause dividends no tax, better for buy&hold strategy

cheers

For Investing, make 10% return per year is quite good.

For Trading, make 10% return per year is bad.

For Trading, I'm expecting at least 100% return for a normal year.

I, myself is already targeting 250% return.

FYI, 2014 was a great year, my trading return was 500%.

By saying 250% returns, does it mean if start of year capital is 100k so target end the year with 350k?

If so maybe can start your own hedge fund already, think many people would be interested in putting money in your fund if such returns are attainable year after year

Me old uncle already, every year if get 5% dividends and 5% capital gain i happy happy pass time liao ^^

100k profit no capital.. Mai hao siao leh..

Whack contra profit 100k per year.. Mai lai la..

Thats 10k profit a month and must be very consistent.

Some months are so bad until legs shake.

These days i whack all above 50k per trade also difficult..

Wow Sinkie as his broker, you must have a record of his trades. You can help ask if he is interested to take in external fundings?

Nope, just someone we know with a common interest fighting together in the market
