I think you need to revise your gains - no point trading for 1 - 3% per year - put it in a bank.
I've got my pips - go get yours!

What are the questions?
Or do you not want to discuss them on the open forum for whatever reason?

hey hey now, let's not all hate on the 1-3% earners. Though small, this is the exact target of major Swiss banks. Their goal is to preserve capital, and beat inflation while doing that.

But yea....going into forex aiming for 3%/year is a bit too conservation.

Try 3%/month.

you can earn 3-3.5 % with a savings account

I can't see you wanting to deal with the hassles of trading for 1-3% per year.

You sound like a hedge-fundy startup/incubation-type... ;-]

3% pr year on average over time is probably more than maybe 90 - 95% of all trades make.....

And 98.76% of all statistics are made up.

Peter: Are you looking for something that you can gain just a few pips on, then trade it over and over?? Not sure this old mind is following you.

IMO 3% per year isn't enough to warrant trading. I can get 5% per year from a local bank in a "super savings" account. If you google on "Money Market fund" you'll find a number of them fit the bill too... so if you're just looking to trade at that level why not invest your funds there and call it a day?

Be easy to be a MM fund trader... one click per year and you're done. I'm sure they can handle the volume too. I'd be happy to bridge the deal if you want to pay me for it... Send me a few M, I'll send it on and take a small management fee for doing nothing... LOL.

on my 10.000 dollar account i aim 40-50% per month... which i get by the way.

1-3% per year?
sure.. if your account is 10 mil. or something... but other than that no way 1-3% will make you full.
