Regarding my own returns, whenever I am not in the red I tend to be content. I get happy when I get 5 - 10% profits.

{quote} I am retail just like you guys, but too high expectations will lead to failure. You want to move slowly but steadily. Consistency is the key and taking small risks. Everyone has a unique "risk acceptance level". Sorry but i dont know a better word for it. A "risk level" that you are comfortable with. If you take more risks then you will get easily emotional about the position/positions and it will lead to bad decisions ---> failure in the end.
Then how do you maintain your family cost (with this kind of yearly return)? Maybe, Forex is your 2nd source of income; is it?

Trading was not meant for 1000$ accounts. It can be done but is it worth it?

10 to 30 percent month is achievable without over trading or taking on excessive risks
In theory anything is achievable but the real world works differently.

everybody would be happy with 90-95% return, only if that's going to happen. XD
for now i think 35-40% would be great.

Most important thing is how much did you risk to make that X%. Can you sit out 10%DD? 20 or 40%? I cant.

Hello Everybody,

With the inherent risk of the ecosystem of currencies, it must be no less than 100% per month or within that range. Otherwise, it's not worth the risk, time and effort. You might just want to invest in other assets such as businesses, or more laid back and safer assets such as stocks and real estate. :-)

I don't know what to say... Show me only 1 trader who can achieve 100%(or even 20% with "acceptable" risk level) in a month consistently without risking his whole account. Its called suicide, not trading. Trader must have realistic expectations, otherwise trader will fail.

Anyone who looks to make 100% profit per month every month will sooner or later lose their entire account, I have no doubt about that. The risk is just too great.

Yes mate, anything like 100% would be meaningless! Unrealistic monthly target is always costly! Forex traders should select their trading targets based on their real performance.

Above 20% for sure
The best way to figure it out is by backtesting it yourself

Mate, to be honest; I have no target actually like X% monthly return, weekly return etc! But, anything like 5-8% is enough for me!

Whatever works for you! I do tend to have a weekly and monthly target in mind, but I don't get upset when I don't meet it.

Then it’s okay, I mean having a target! But, desperately seeking for target is too much costly.

Trading under any and all circumstances is foolish, in my opinion, and does not lead to profits.

Exactly mate, it is! Since, it’s a decentralized market so, no one can make sure guarantee here; it’s all about probabilities!

how many pips you can return , it depends on your trading balance , knowledge and experience. sometimes we think only powerful trading strategy can make sure good return, but practically it not actually if there is no money managing plan exactly.
