    Anyone who is talking 10% per month or 200% per year is either a bold-faced liar or wack.

    So, it's impossible to design a system that wins 50% of the time, has a win$/lose$ ratio of 1.5, and makes 24 trades per month ?

    At 1% of equity risk per trade, that's 6% per month or compounded monthly is 200% per annum.
