20% annual return - realistic?

[tothemax6]

When in doubt GET OUT doesnt sound like a strategy. When trading one should never be emotional. Having a system or an exit plan would be efficient then to relies on doubt.

Aye, if my strategy was 'if in doubt get out', I would never be able to hold a position .

When we talk about say, 20% return pa.

If I have $50,000 and I leverage at 50% to $100,000. Does that mean a return of $10,000 profit or $20,000?
Does the leverage in this case increase the return from 20% to 40% technically? Or are we simply talking 20% on the original investment?

Thanks Tech, thought that must have been the case but good to have it confirmed.
