The Impatient Investor Who Doesn’t Realize They’re Actually a Trader. 100% annual return. Live Update

-

     When we talk about investing versus trading, most people believe they clearly understand the difference. Yet many self-proclaimed “long-term investors” behave more like short-term traders without even noticing it.   And yes  I used to be one of them.


One of the most common questions I get is:

“Why don’t you take profits more often? Wouldn’t you be more successful?”

It sounds logical. Take profits frequently, lock in gains, repeat.

But the truth is more complex  and much more interesting.


          When Excel Says You’re a Genius  but Reality Says Otherwise

I created a trading strategy that performs beautifully in Excel. Perfect curves, stable risk, predictable profit-taking, and even a theoretical 100% annual return.

But there’s a problem:

Excel isn’t the real market.

So today, I’m starting a new experiment: comparing theory versus reality using real-time trading conditions.

The idea is simple:

  • Buy shares
  • Take profits quickly
  • Reinvest repeatedly
  • Continue until the math works out and the account grows

On paper, it’s flawless.

In real markets… we’ll see.

The Experiment: Turning Theory Into Practice

To test this strategy without risking real capital, I’m starting with a $10,000 demo account.

Why a demo?
Because this strategy is intentionally high-risk and not something I would run on my real portfolio. But it is perfect for testing how impatient traders behave  and whether fast profit-taking can actually scale.

The rules are simple:
  • Starting balance: $10,000
  • Each trade: up to $1,000 position size
  • Goal: Rapid profit-taking as soon as the target appears
  • Objective: See if a theoretical 100% annual return can survive real market volatility


This is pure short-term trading  the kind that appeals to impatient personalities and rapid-growth seekers.
And yes, that means things can go very wrong, very fast.

Can Fast Profit-Taking Really Make You Money?

That’s the big question.
Excel says yes.
Real markets? We’re about to find out.
From today onward, I’ll be documenting:
  • Every trade
  • Every gain
  • Every loss
  • Every emotional challengeAnd the final result  success or complete failure.

If you’ve ever wondered whether fast profit-taking and aggressive compounding actually work, this series will give you a real-world answer.

Will It Work? Tell Me What You Think

This experiment isn’t just for me — it’s for anyone who has ever felt impatient with long-term investing or tempted by fast gains.
Do you think the strategy will succeed?
Let me know in the comments.
And if you want to follow the journey, stay tuned   the next update is coming soon.

      The Power of Financial Decision s The question of financial stability and prosperity often occupies our minds.       We often find ourselves making questionable financial decisions, wondering why we never seem to achieve the desired wealth or financial independence.        In this article, we will explore why some become poor and why many tend to consume now rather than save for the future.

Living for the Moment and the Debt Trap       Living for the moment means spending more money than we can actually afford.
