What's the average percentage a trader makes monthly

it would depend on how much you risk and how often you trade and what leverage you use.

Profit in foreign currency is positive, and in points is negative –
this is a characteristic sign that losing positions are averaged by an increased lot. It's martingale.

WRONG.
For the record not all averaging in is a martingale, they are very different. Martingale is for losers, averaging in is for traders who like to have a heart attack whilst trading.


I use neither martingale nor averaging in, but still can have negative pips with positive balance.

Go figure

This is only possible through accumulated positive swap

That might work in some situations. It's irrelevant really if anything all of those answers confirm my initial answer to the question about pips.

In addition, how much success ratio your strategy provides actually.

I am sorry, what do you mean?

Don't worry what he said, he is talking rubbish. I think most people only add comments to make themselves sound like they know what they are talking about.

It's a tricky question.

making money is easy, but making consistent money takes work.

I think the issue here w/ most the new traders they are lacking in consistency due to experience.

as for a mature trader, he is well on his way w/ his life, you don't spot many of them on this site and wasting time answering these silly question.

so what do you end up w/? unprofitable traders which are almost 95% the population here. you will never get a good answer here on how much potential forex trading will bring you.

also for the pro traders or banks, yeah a 2-5% is a good number, BUT YOU FUND IS MANAGED BY A GROUP OF PPL w/ an entire department on the risk management. That's is different from retail trading. So let's not compare orange to apple here.

I mean, the success ratio of your trading strategy (average successful trades among of per 100 trades).

If you want to get maximal result by your trading strategy of course first of all you have to make sure how to manage money, without real money management any trading strategy can be useless.

for now, 10 for 10 is what I have as I continue work on more sample sizes.

I don't know about 100, 1000, 10000 or 1000000 yet, in case you would like to ask that too.

but I think 10 for 10 (manually executed, no hedging, individual entry) is enough just to prove a point, at least for now.

I hope this is not a serious question you are asking.

I can't stop myself from lol.

If the majority of people (you and I) makes money, who lose money? The big players???

If the majority of people can graduate from schools, what makes you better than others who can achieve the same thing?

That is why most are destined to be 9-5 wage slaves forever.

Now does it feel good to be one of the majority?

There are some countries in the world where you can really make like 15% of fixed deposit income in local currencies after all taxes. So go figure anyway. Also there is something like 18% even with some sort of action needed and a little bigger amounts and a lot of foreigners try to buy out that papers. So Forex probably is not on top of that schemes. But you really can make something like 10% monthly, not yearly like above with some skillset and luck here for basically any bigger reason here for alltogether cases. How many of you are doing that amount in average ?

I have seen official statistics about how much traders lose, but never about how much they profit. That would be interesting to see.

if I invest 1000 usd and make 10% yield every month with compounding what will be balance after 10 year

ChatGPT
To calculate the balance after 10 years with a monthly compounded yield of 10%, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A=P(1+rn)ntA = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}A=P(1+nr)nt
Where:

1. AAA is the amount of money accumulated after nnn years, including interest.
2. PPP is the principal amount (the initial amount of money, which is $1000 in this case).
3. rrr is the annual interest rate (which is 10% per month, or 1.2 annually).
4. nnn is the number of times that interest is compounded per year (12 times, since it's compounded monthly).
5. ttt is the number of years the money is invested (10 years).

Plugging in the values:

1. P=1000P = 1000P=1000
2. r=1.2r = 1.2r=1.2 (since 10% per month is equivalent to 120% annually)
3. n=12n = 12n=12
4. t=10t = 10t=10

The formula becomes:
A=1000(1+1.212)12×10A = 1000 \left(1 + \frac{1.2}{12}\right)^{12 \times 10}A=1000(1+121.2)12×10
Let's calculate this step by step.
After 10 years, with a monthly compounded yield of 10%, the balance would be approximately $92,709,068.82.

can you say... its corect 92 mil ?

ChatGPT
Yes, the calculation is correct. With an initial investment of $1,000 and a monthly compounded yield of 10%, the balance after 10 years would indeed be approximately $92.7 million.

Tel me please theare traders that claim that they made even more than 10 % mountlhy. But is any probability that a trader can reach a long period strike with such a results?

ChatGPT
Achieving a consistent 10% monthly return over a long period is exceptionally difficult and highly improbable. Here are several reasons why:
Mathematical Extrapolation

1. Exponential Growth: As illustrated, a 10% monthly yield compounded over 10 years results in astronomical growth. Consistently achieving such high returns is extremely rare and would place an individual or fund's returns far beyond typical market benchmarks.

Market Realities

1. Market Volatility: Financial markets are inherently volatile and unpredictable. Even the most skilled traders experience losses.
2. Sustainable Strategies: Many trading strategies that generate high returns are often high-risk. Such strategies can yield significant short-term gains but are unsustainable over long periods due to inherent risks.

Historical Evidence

1. Historical Benchmarks: Historically, the most successful investors, such as Warren Buffett, have achieved annual returns of around 20-30%, which translates to less than 2% monthly on average.
2. Hedge Fund Returns: Top-performing hedge funds rarely achieve sustained monthly returns of 10%. Most aim for annual returns in the range of 10-20%.

Practical Considerations

1. Capital Size: Managing larger sums of money becomes increasingly difficult. Liquidity issues and market impact can hinder the ability to achieve high percentage returns.
2. Regulatory and Operational Risks: As funds grow, regulatory scrutiny and operational complexities increase, which can impact performance.

Psychological and Behavioral Factors

1. Consistency and Discipline: Maintaining the discipline required for such high returns is challenging. Emotional and psychological factors often lead to inconsistent decision-making.

Survivorship Bias

1. Selective Reporting: Success stories often receive more attention, while numerous failures go unreported. This bias can create the illusion that high returns are more common than they are.

In summary, while some traders may claim to achieve more than 10% monthly returns, doing so consistently over a long period is highly improbable. High returns over short periods are possible, but sustaining them without significant risk or loss is extremely rare.
