    Percentage a month is dependent on what the market will permit you to have, traders should not have a monthly percent they are targeting. This idea will cause declines in less than perfect market conditions. MT
    I think people should focus on a moderate percent, as it can be used as an excellent indior of when to let transactions run. It is also a fantastic reminder to bank some profits if you have let them run and helps to offset the but I don't want to miss out character of trading.

    If I want 1-2 percent each week and I have already created that, then I can let my second commerce run..and possibly even fall back to BE, as I've already banked my profits for this week. I could get ahead a little and bank my 1-2 percent for second week this week and have an excess week to exchange without having to induce a profit, but allowing my transactions go and have time to get into profit. . .and then a few.


    P.S. - The market doesn't let me own (or not let me have) anything. I haven't got an idea why folks need to paint this pseudo-plogical drivel about the 'market is out for you', etc..

    I'd be over the moon at 5% a month. Just wish I could get a method of doing this.
    I sometimes think the only people making money are the brokers, and those selling their courses!

    I believe I should also add that it's a fantastic idea to see what your results are within the course of many weeks are before you calculate what could be realistic to you.

    Hey guys, Its been almost 20 days since I've been trading and that I had been wondering what would be a realistic/ideal monthly percent profit? Cheers.
    If you want to be a trader for a long time period, its wise to keep your risk low. This usually means that you need to practice decent money management and try to find ROI (Return on Investment) in the range of 5-10% monthly.

    You also will need to prevent more than trading and learn how to handle your emotions.

    Hope these aids

    66% account increase a month is unsustainable indeed. It is more of a fluke that something which may be done every month on a regular basis. It is good when it occurs, but not something traders should deliberately aim at, because it involves taking too many risks.

    In case you are able to average anything about 10% monthly or over it is superb. I've stats for a single conservative way on multiple pairs that's around that amount. But, as I think DemoAntares was trying to point out, it's not a pertinent question, and it'll do you no more good to hear what thousands of people get as a typical. 1st, because most people are shedding long term. Plenty of heroes doing 150% per month. . .but in 6 weeks they don't have any account. If it had been live! I'd politely suggest for you to do 66% in 20 days in an account is unsustainable....
    I really don't think 66% per month is unsustainable. I am aware of a system which teaches you how to earn 5 percent ;er day, which means that you double your account in 15 trading days. Another egy, which made over 6000% in two years. I backtested it and got better results.

    Hi, Forexauthor

    Well done on your results up to Now.

    Have you got a fully analyzed trading egy? If you have, you may know on average how much money you may make each month/overall dependent on the metrics of the machine. You have mentioned volatility and which you've made money due to this. Do you know how your system performs in low volatlity periods? This is where a lot of traders lose their gains as found lately.

    Percentage per month is dependent on what the market will allow you to have, traders shouldn't have a monthly percent they are targeting. This thought will cause losses in less than perfect market conditions.

    Trading is more or less a work of chance. Sometimes there is more chance, occasionally there is less. Setting up monthly goals and more importantly, chasing them can get you into hot water. Regarding my trading, I'm pleased to just have profits at the close of the month, be they 1% or 10%.
