Hey guys, Its been almost 20 days since I've been trading and I was wondering what would be a realistic/ideal monthly percentage profit? Cheers.

You are too young, now it’s time to focus your concentration on trading strategy and system rather than specific monthly income! I see, pro traders use decent monthly target like 5-10% while novice traders expect more! By the way, I do my live trading without having any target, I just follow my strategy’s call here! Last month I made almost 25% profit!

30-40% monthly. If you work with a professional broker.

YOU MUST BEAT THE MOMEY MARKET RETURNS

Any trading Capital you have is borrowed (even if from yourself) at an annual percentage interest rate of about 24% which comes down to about 2% a month. Going by this concrete data, the least a Trader can do is 2% a month just to try out strategies. When you find a good strategy, it should return 20% for your creditors +10% for you + 10% for operating cost and 10% for taxes. So, for forex trading to be worth your while, your total annual return should be 50%, which averages out to about 4.18% a month.

It depends on the trading skill of a trader, when I was a new trader then I didn’t have any kind of specific trading target! Because, then I wasn’t sure about my trading skill, but now my monthly target is 10%, I think 10% is a good target for me! I worked with that target in my demo.

The monthly trading target we have to select according to our trading understanding. Sometimes our trading target fall us a great dilemma , immature and non realistic target provoke us always to trade at random to earn profit within very short time, once a time my monthly target was 30% according to balance and the result was nothing. When I fixed to earn just 5% then I got free and earning comfortably. We should not fixed over monthly target because it always causes a great losses.

It all depends on the traders risk tolerance....But in my opinion anything making 10% a month not hitting 5% of total account can be in for a pretty ride.

I think that you don't really need to concentrate on % to make. It all depends on your strategies, market conditions etc. Maybe one month you make 100% and the other one 30%.

It is absolutely normal and you shouldn't be calculating it all the time.

In my opinion it is for pro traders, that know what they want and control their risks appropriately

Most people have a percentage target in their trading plans, that's normal. That said, however much is one's trading profit at the end of the month that's the realistic monthly profit. It varies widely from person to person.

{quote} the beauty: it doesnt have to be that number. it is an average. i can be as happy with half. some say 90% of trading accounts dont last 6 month. others say X number of months in profit isnt possible. learn to look beyond the numbers too. if my stocks average 8% a year, mostly passively, should look same returns on a 100% active approach? what is the cost of opportunity to beat? are you able to find a point where you excel over passive and beat cost of opportunity? that you go, your number you need. happy trading!
Average can be 2-3% highest per month provided that account survived after 5-6 years of constant struggle with forex market... even 1 or 2 year can be a loss i.e. 5-10% loss in a year

This is call Forex

Happy Trading

I've known traders who took over ten years before they became profitable. I hope that will happen much sooner for you.

If I'm being realistic with the expectation over long term, it should be around 20%-30% ANNUALLY. Monthly expectations or goals are too unrealistic to maintain consistently, rather they create an unnecessary pressure which influences the trading psychology in a negative way.

You are 20 days in forex trading and now asking what's the realistic monthly profit. I don't think there is any fixed amount. It's all depend on our skilled. Capital is also a considering aspect. In forex trading being consistent is the key. Once you are consistent after a certain time you will make good money. Monthly target doesn't make a trader good.
