So I had several months with +10% and more. But you can watch my progress in my journal. Time will tell if I can hold this.
OK I see. you made a couple hundred bucks on a 50K account. Thats 0.5% on the account. Hope your luck continues. Not sure what you are trading. When you say several trades are you just planning on taking a small percentage on each trade?
I've a feeling you're not gonna get many real answers here with anyone revealing their monthly returns, if at all. The 0.2% who are actually net profitable would probably rather not disclose it. Likewise, for the 98% who blow up their account in a month.
Monthly (or indeed annual) returns are just a function of risk and drawdown tolerance, potentially limited by strategy capacity. I don't really care about headline RoR, mostly I'm focused on profit factor and peak-to-trough drawdown magnitude and duration. For a given risk profile you dial in your exposure to a level of drawdowns you're comfortable with, and the percentage returns are what they are. FWIW my profit factor usually comes in between 3.5 and 5 across a full year. I believe this is fairly typical for experienced swing traders.
Lies, damned lies and statistics. Doesn't matter what leverage, at the end of the day you made a couple hundred bucks with a 50k account. The number will be more significant after a month. What really matters is your account balance.
We can disclose the fact that we’ve made 10x in a year but then what ? Who cares. We all know guys that made huge returns over years. Not year over year ! To turn 5K into several millions in 10 years or less has been done over and over again. But it doesn’t change our bottom line. That’s why it’s useless to talk about performance. Just to entertain the masses. Blablabla. It drives traffic. The only beneficiary is the forum owner. Everyone else is losing his time. If you can make 30% month over month. Great ! But I won’t give a damn sh*t. Make money and enjoy yourself. They’ll never tell you when they blow up. Every coin has two sides. In the market, the sky is the limit But we’ll 4ever be closer to zero than infinity.
With the monthly average rate of 7 to 10 % . I am an option seller and happy with my earnings but not satisfied.
