The Myth of "Misleading ROI"
This is the one most of us get sucked into at some point. You know, those products that promise 1000% gains or 725% gains… or even 400% gains. They hook the unsuspecting with the promise you’re going to get rich practically overnight.
Well, what they don’t tell you is that this ROI is not on your full account balance!
Of course they don’t. That would deny them of their hype. They need you to buy into the notion that somehow you are going to defy the laws of probability and make millions without assuming any risk.
* You place a trade with 100 pips at risk. The trade yields a profit of 900 pips.
* So… you earn a return on your risk of 900%.
* Now, if you had an account of $10,000, you would have $100 at risk.
* You would have made 900% on your $100 or $900.
* You would not have earned 900% on your full account balance of $10,000.
* You would NOT have earned $90,000 on that trade!
Don’t fall for the misleading ROI. Don’t fall for the misleading math or the false hopes. There is a better way… and a consistent way to make real profits month after month. It’s called Advent Forex.
