larry williams once turned ten thousand dollars into 1 million dollars in 1 year trading futures...a 100-fold annual return curtis faith one time turned a 1 billion dollar hedge fund into 2 billion dollars in 1 year, trading mostly futures, a 100%, or a 2-fold annual return which one was more difficult to achieve? i can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt what curtis faith had done was many times tougher why? because no matter how good a trader is, there have to be markets big and liquid enough for him to enter and exit with ease...and there simply aren't many markets in the world for anyone to get in and out easily with a 1 billion dollar fund that could be further leveraged to 10 billion dollars or more having said that, it has to be pointed out that it doesn't imply in any way that curtis faith could ever turn ten thousand dollars into 1 million dollars within one year
