I have tested a trading strategy and it amounted to a 132.55% profit in a year assuming 2% risk. The strategy works on scalping SPY with a stop loss of anywhere from 60-120 pips (determined by % of daily ATR). I just realised that with 4:1 leverage, the absolute maximum risk per trade is actually only 0.43%, and assuming for safety I only use 2:1 leverage, that’s only about 0.21% risk per trade, which puts the actual profit before taxes at 28.50% with maxed out 4:1 leverage or 13.90% with 2:1 leverage in a whole year. In case it means anything different, I am based in Singapore. How do you get the leverage to risk 0.5%-2% of your account per trade as a scalper? Trading certain instrument classes (futures or CFDs instead of underlying shares) or certain brokers?

I noticed how Frank Sinatra had quite a light timbre in his earlier work such as “I’ll never smile again” and in contrast it deepened and became a fair bit richer in his later work such as “Monday Morning Quarterback”. Same effect with Ralph Macchio and William Zabka who both sounded very youthful in the Karate Kid films despite being adults and in contrast they sounded way more adult (William Zabka’s voice even got a bit raspy) in the Cobra Kai series. In contrast to this “deepening with age” effect, some people say actually male voices would get lighter with age due to decreasing testosterone. So males: did your voices deepen or lighten with age, in what way did they deepen or lighten, and by what mechanism did it occur?
