What is Your Maximum Profits in One Trade ?

[mohsinqureshii 10]

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.

$100 is the maximum profit that I made in one trade because I trade with small amount.

Around 9K USD futures trading. (trend following).

$800 in less than 2 hours. But I usually go for lower (and hopefully consistent) gains.

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)

I'll back this up with some performance reports if i can figure out how to post an image that's large enough to read

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.

Well, i made 730$ once and i was really shocked  

[marty_trader 1]

$17,500 on a single trade

[CrazyCzarina 17]

I do not think that I have made more then 20 or 25 in single trade because I have never taken high risk.
