Your sample size is too small

You made gains for around 16 trades, but since then you are essentially break even. 44 trades aren't enough to draw conclusions.

i think its possible, but not probable specially with big capital, with 100,000 its easier to aim for a 10-15% annually with proper risk management, 20% a month requires nerves of TITANIUM and risks not any trader would take

Starting with $100,000 reqires nuts of steel, but starting with $5,000 and trading up to $100,000 over 5 years or so only takes patience... nuts don't come into the equation.

An average of 20% a month on ANY size account for even 12 months takes outright skill.

I did it for just over a year. took 10k to 108k in one account so yes, it is possible. it's all documented on the web too including the spectacular crash

if you're interested i'll give the link


very scary ride though.

thing is, 20% of what?

see 20% a month equates to around 730% over the year

1% per working day goes much more

20% per year does 20%

its all compounding

20% of your entire trading pot? 20% of what you keep in your account? 20% of what you hyave in reserve?

leverage is there so you can leave your money in the bank, take a small part of it and trade that. so my question - if you traded 10k to 50k in say 8 months, would you really leave the 50k in the account? - chances are you'd move some to an interest bearing account to make some more money. - so then when you have - is the 20% that month on the full 50k or just the 10k you leave in

brain puddled? good

20% is an increase on equity of 20% in a month, very simple I think.

It's 240% a year without compounding, and 791% with compounding.

1% a day is 20% for the month (20 days) if you increase the equity by 1% a day, but don't compound.

1% a day WITH compounding is 22% in 20 days... there are actually 21 trading days most months tho.

1% a day is 989% in 240 days with compounding.

Starting with $9,000 and compounding at 2% a day on average (about 40% a month) will become just over 1 mill in 12 months.

However, as SoulTrader said, you would be very unlikely to leave all your capital in the account to compound.

Prudence dictates that you remove some each month either to a bank, or other brokers... in my 9 years of trading I've experienced 3 brokers either go into bankruptsy, or simply close up shop and dissapear with my funds.

Let's put some numbers and you make your conclusion if this is possible or not.

Starting balance = $1,000
Return per month = 20%
Ending balance = $8,916

Return $ = $7,916
Return % = 792%

Is this possible? How much risks are you taking to reached this return?

I'm not saying it can't, but I am also not saying that it can. It's for you to make a reasonable conclusion.

Are you kidding or what? At 20% per month compounded you would become a billionair rapidly (i.e exponentially) within months.
No broker can accomodate your size simply for their own protection + they will manipulate the system to make you lose.
I did this test live on a demo account and you can request the statement if you want, since I cant backtest my EA and after 3.5 weeks compounded at just 10% this is what i got...but keep in mind I started with only 5% compounded per trade initially for 2.5 weeks then changed it to 10%.
So as long as you win to loss rate is better than 60% you will get the results below

20% for a month is not hard but if you want the same grow from month to month there can be problems because this is quite difficult for a new trader to avoid the risk and the greed))
good luck by the way)

Guys... its a bit less than 1% a day

1% a day is just 10 pips if trading 2% risk with a 20 pip hard stop

20% is achievable. But, ask yourself, why do you need to take that much risk? My advice: Be conservative. The main aim is to last yourself in trading, than loose all your capital.

I am not so new to forex, but I would like to know if any professional traders have been able to consistently pull off 20% a month, at least uptil a $100,000 account. Is this possible? I am trying to figure out what my target should be monthly for my return on capital and what figures are realistic.
20% not possible, sorry. Maximum i made was 19%. So close... yet so far...
