Biggest % gain in 1 day

[Julia]

Question, has anyone ever made 100k in a single day?

I don't mean to be rude but quoting a dollar amount is pretty pointless. It would all depend on the amount invested, so your question would be better expressed in asking for a percentage.
Obviously, making $100K in a day would be significantly easier with an investment of many millions than it would with just a few hundred thousand.

On this subject. I think its interesting how different sites will show different results for the days Top Gain/Loss.

with a 1mil portfolio an outlier day can net 100k easy.

Should be the same? Unless the site includes options/warrants which don't really count.

Ok guys sorry didn't give the amount of capital invested.

Lets say you have $250k - what is the safest return a person can achieve using that equity per day/month?
Be realistic.

I'd say futures.
With $250k you could trade around 40 FTSE contracts or the same in the SPI
that's £10 / tick for The FTSE or $16 AU.
I have a position trade Short on the FTSE currently over 100 ticks in 2 days profit still open.
Unfortunately I don't have 40 contracts.
But if you did there's $64000.

Safest?
You better know what your doing or the market will quickly have your $250k

There are many reputable educators, even in Australia. Start with reading through the beginners threads here and see what you pull out.

PNE was also up by 400% at one stage today (and on much higher volume than RVY). That's the highest % increase I've ever seen since I started trading 2 1/2 yrs ago.
