    20% of what? Cash on cash or levered capital? Cash on cash, highly unlikely. levered capital, sure, that and more but it requires a lot of experience, skill and discipline.

    BUT he may want to read the fine print on some 4x sites;
    may lose all the money in account, but the better ones limit it to initial capital.LOL:D:D
    SORRY i gambled for quarters as a kid , pool hall but comissions were to high to trade much.
    Best way to lose max money + max % is lever UP when starting; especially opTions 4x, ES,SPXS + such . UPRO almost as bad =============================================================================================
    Lotto+ leverage is a stupid tax on people that cant do math; some people get by with leveraged mortgage, but 100% of foreclosures are with leverage.

    I can pull it off with no problem, max upper single digit DD, scalable into over double digit MMs.

  7. The question you should ask yourself is if it's possible to lose 20 % per month.

    And since you're asking these kind of questions the answer for you is YES. :)

    impossible to lose 20%. Just use stops and react to the market rather than predict the market.

    Exactly on not tryin' to predict, especially in SEPT\
    or anytime.
    Readin' a good read one time/ IBD book noted ''new traders want to much with to little work''
    AMAZING, that applied to me even though I did well in 5-7 or other businesses ; amazing =capital markets. Live + Lifelong learn
    But good thing for us M Steinhardt noted ''even an igNoramUs can do well LOL'':D:D
    May not make 22%\ 20% , 12%\17.777%\6.66% but can do well................................................
    May make >>>>>>>>> better than 17.777\ not with leveraged stuff learnin' but most anything is possible except super % learning with leverage usually.............................................................
