The question is possible ?

Yes, a lot of traders in FF make 20%, even more..

I currently testing a robot on a vps, and it returning about 10% a week, in a normal week.
Let say it goes to real account, I am believe it can reach 20-40% a month..

In forex, you can make it. many trader in FF get 20%++ in a month.
Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

there are practical difficulties to this as well. above a certain size, you have to get different forex brokers, fall-backs.

and better to stick to futures if you're trading larger lots, because who knows which broker will screw up.

No. It is mathematically not possible.

What is possible is 20% a year, but you have to be a world-class trader to achive that
Forex is a losers game.

I think it's somehow related with the account size. I know many people who achieved 20% a month but only till their account reached 5-10k.

That might be true. But I think it is much more likely they started to mess up their trading once the numbers got larger, and then blamed the evil broker.

I would be majorly annoyed with 20% a month.

What about upping that a bit, and making it like 2% a month? Is not that cooler?

So if you have $1,000 capital, you need $20 per month, on avg. or $1 only per trading day

$20 per month on $1,000 capital. Compound it and you can beat any saving account / deposit certificate or whatever the bank offers.

Even if you do not compound / adapt position size you'll make 24% ROI. You double your capital in 4 years and so on. Life is good

I would be very happy with 20% a month. I doubled my account within the last 6 months with a few very good months (above 20%) and a negative month. If you factor in monthly compounding it requires a return of 12%/month. This was realized on an account with < 100k though and taxs had to be payed in between. Lets see what the next 6 months bring.

i think thats perfectly reasonable. and you dont have to be a world class trader. some retail traders i know make 20 percent at least every month consistently.

Drop the target.... it will cause you to over trade or let an opportunity goes away.... should you keep record of daily progress it is not to be chased..... oh and yes, it is even possible to have 10% in 1 day, but again, it is not to be chased, it is a market given opportunity.
How can I miss out on this good advice ,well some traders perceives chasing targeted % profits defines their trading profitability. Yes it does sometimes ,but I'd rather stick to your advice ''Drop the target''

got to see the amount that your trading

1000$ 20% a month yes

10mil 20% i don't think so ( the only way to know is ask that person that did it )

Agree that 20% depends on size of bankroll since a lot of online investments have certain ceiling of how much you can invest.

Even using deposit bonus system at online forex and/or binary options brokers - where they offer up to 100% deposit bonus could turn $1,000 invested money into $2,000 on broker's trading account instantly.

Then you just have to trade smart to rollover amount required before you are allowed to withdraw 100% bonus.

20% Possible with a little amount of investment & with big risk. But with a big invest. I don't think It's a good idea to ascertain that much profit.

This is sort of my question too. I was able to make 30%+ on 3 trades in a practice account on trends, and 10%+ on a few other trades. I'm thinking of getting into it for real, but would like to know if these are realistic and sustainable returns?
