FX alpha Jan 2011. 97% leveraged return YTD 2/8/12. On account of 100:1 leverage, this equals to 12% unleveraged per year which is superb. I've collaborated with the ex-head FX trader at a major Asian sovereign wealth fund. His career average was about 12% unleveraged per annum on 100:1 leverage. 15% is considered elite, 20-25% one in a million talent (according to him, there were only a few dozen of these traders in the world). 30% unleveraged per year, u're god. And there was only one guy he knew who did that. lol.
