Wasn't "laying the whole account down" what it was all about anyway?

I can sort of see how you can finagle a life out of a 50k pot in clever spot/day trading [on an individual basis, I have no idea of the jargon], but I never really understood how the same percentage transitions were going to pan out once you were trying to turn 100k in 200k etc and it's interesting to see that the answer was perhaps they don't.

Hope your other account serves you well Mellin, and this can be a lesson of some sort.
