What is Your Maximum Profits in One Trade ?

Recommended Posts

I wonder how can you make in a single trade. I am not a big trader and don't trade with millions of dollars still I was able to make a a good amount in a single trade.

 

It was 2 years back and I cannot forget that morning when I traded hangseng index and I got a profit of 4800 $ ( 480 pips )in a single trade and it was just in couple of minutes after HSI Index got opened.It was no doubt a big risk and it can be on either way but I won that trade.

I think talking $$$ made is not as good as % on account. right? only makes sense, i could make a million trading with a billion, that is still the same as making 0.1% on a trade.

 

All that said... biggest $ ever... five figures, stupid risk. Biggest loss ever, also five figures..:haha::doh:

 

Losses like that are humility trades, and thankfully (and mindfully) behind me. On a percent return level - i see 2% - 20% on a single trade (i scale in, risking 0.25% per entry, up to maximum heat of 2%, trail out)

$87k in CROX..shame i gave back 25% in one night when it gapped down on poor earnings but it was stil lone hell of a ride.

 

TASR and MNST were huge gains as wel lbut not as big.

 

Was that when they reported earnings with the stock at +- $75 and guidance was off by about 10 cents?

It was long time ago. From the beginning i like to trade for long time basis like 5hr or one day. I forget the date but one day i opened a day long trade and i made $2400. I like to mention that it was a risky one because the volume of lots were high.
