20% per month. Is this possible?

20% and more its very achievable
the issue is keeping it stable for the months to come

Totally agree with Ammeo. It is difficult to maintain the level of profits.

20% in to 5 months will double your investment. Yep, that is interesting. But need to increase the lot size which means the risk will also increase. This is not impossible but need lots of experience.

Not even great traders like G. Soros can CONSISTENTLY make 20% per month....

If you can make 20% pero YEAR, you will be able to find a LOT of people willing to invest with you !

can you walk on water?

Just catching up, but 20% is very aggressive. I would even think at 15% you'd have your work cut out for you. I guess it depends on how much time you have.

Blah blah blah. Lots of talk.. lots of bs as always.

20% is easily doable on standard account sizes and credible brokers (certainly no MT one and even more certain no 4 letter bullshit broker).

If you are consistent and compound you will easily hit that with a proper strategy. You will however not become a billionaire with it.

The reason is not because it's not doable but liquidity. You will hit liquidity problems pretty soon (before even hitting the 7 digit mark) and along with the partial fills increasing costs (spread / partial fill throughout the DOM) which will cut into your profits twice (less TP, more SL etc pp). Now you will either not get fully filled anymore or the spread between the nearest offer and the last counter which would get you fully filled will be too big for you to be profitable / maintain risk/reward.

No... stepping up the game to the 2 big houses will not change anything. Same problems and if you really push it even bigger problems will arise since your orders would then get attention from other participants.

So to cut it short: Yes definitely doable and many do it but only for a short amount of time after which your order size pretty much stays the same and with it your profits -> your equity continues to rise -> your profit to equity ratio decreases -> decreasing percentage profit.

it depends on your capital .20% in 10kilos will be great but for more capital you need to watch your risk and make 5% as maximum not to loss money as fast as you gain .in a 100k account a 5% monthly is great i think you will end with 60% per years which is obvious a legend in this market so lets say 3 % for every 100 kilo and 20 - 40% per year and then you are a guru .for more than 100 kilo like one million a 1 -1.5 % per month is guru so you make 10kilos to 15 kilos per month it will be enough .as i said it all dependents on capital and believe me easy comes easy goes
all have a nice day

you must be gods!!!

Oh my. Easy come, easy go.

That's the forex market for you. It's not the making of the money, it's the holding onto it.

Have you ever heard the word "PR" and how it is usually created?

It is quite possible even if we can only risk 3-5% per trade. It will not take much stress to hit this target.

For sure, it MAY be possible, but strongly risky. 99 on 100 times if you are getting a 20% monthly performance, there are two cases
a) You were very, very lucky
b) You are risking too much for every trade

Every good strategy may get a drawdown, so, in my experience, if you are able to get that amazing performance you probably may lose all your account Of corse, because of high risk trading

Its very difficult, but possible.

in short, anything is possible. But, dont listen to anyone that tells you it is 'most likely' scenario

it is very possible but don't dare think that You will repeat 20% gain in every month ...
You can have good run an several month of nice gains but loosing steak will come ---> so prepare for it

look at the traders leader board for the month, 200% to 10,000% for the month.
Probably won't see them again except on a new account starting from scratch.

At the end of the day it all depends on your strategy, if you have what you can call successful system then you can do it. The thing you have to remember though is how much you are risking in your account. I could double my account in a week if i wanted too but it would too higher of a risk. It's better to stay safe rather than looking at the get rich quick angle.

Totally agree with you mate. High Risk = High Return. However it is always better to trade forex with minimal risk.
