    Agree with this. One can throw all ones money into a passive index fund like SPY/QQQ and receive 10% annually. An active trader can employ leverage so he should be able to generate a much higher return than a passive index investor that holds for decades without any leverage.

    1000 usd = 50-100% per month (high risk)

    10000 usd= 5-10% per month (medium risk)
    100000 usd 3-6% per month (medium-low risk).
