No the 2032% is not the percentage gain of the initial deposit. It's far more complicated to compute than that. If you see this page you can see in detail how it's calculated. https://www.investopedia.com/exam-guide/cfa-level-1/quantitative-methods/discounted-cash-flow-time-weighted-return.asp

It's the standard used by Mutual funds, unit trusts, etc the world over. his additional deposits don't boost his returns i the 2032% figure at all. The whole point of this measure is to take away any impact from addiional deposits and withdrawals etc, like a professional unit trust works. This is really basic knowledge if you want to be a professional investor definitely important to understand this basic measure.

Hi. I see your account is still doing very well. Good job.

Perhaps you should withdraw your original deposit amount and just trade on your profits now.

This way if something catastrophic happens and the account gets killed, it doesn't put your initial investment capital at risk.

Just a suggestion of course, overall your account is doing quite well.

Good job! 😎
If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.

stop loss that will prevent any incorrect entries burn the bill. If the situation does not go into profit, the account will be closed and the earnings paid to another account

I did not understand sorry.
I use a manual approach. I run intrady and multiday trade. The last two months I gained a lot more than usual so I could take more risks. In any case, the loss should not be more than the gain of the last month

sooner or later you will blow out your account without stop lost.

Great example as to why you must trade with a SL, so you prevent stop outs due to low margin like what has happened here with 91% drawdown. Lucky you had made some withdrawals so haven't lost too much. Good luck with your future trading:)
