FAQ

1. How much can I make and how much do I need?

Regarding to your goals, you might have completly other priorities, but here is what works for me.

1. I need to have 200 € for every Microlot I trade to consider it a “save” risk / reward ratio.
2. I believe good trading should be stable and boring and my Golden Goose Salt System is doing exactly what I want.

See http://www.myfxbook.com/members/justmyname/salt-golden-goose-baukasten/1163969 for the statistics

3. My average win is
Average Win: 28.13 pips / €2.23
4. My average trading cost per trade is below 20 Cent. To be save, say a profit is 2 €.

5. I have made almost 700 profitable trades with salt.
See http://goldengoosekurs.de/golden-goose-salt-system or History page on MyFxBook.

6. My current Equity Gain is almost exakt half of what my Balance Gain is:
Balance: €101545.93
Equity:(99.24%) €100773.76

Meaning:

Without taxes and fees I could transfer 773 € profit to my bank account. Taxes are 20 percent, so it is 773-154 € = 619 €.

It took me 5 month to make it. That is 120 € a month. And about 120 trades a month. I am trading 27 currency pairs with a microlot.

If everything would stay that consistent, I would need to multiply my current profits by the factor 33 to earn 4000€.

So the required trading capital woud be 27 currency pairs multiplied by 33 micro lots multiplied by 200 €. Thats 178200 Euro to make 4000 € a month. With fees and commissions I would need around 200000 € risk capital to make 4000 € a month without taxes. That is 48000 a year, so I needed to make 25 % Equity gain. So far I have made 0.77 percent Equity gain, but if you will accept bigger draw downs, you can make more with less capital, but your risk of ruin will increase.
