    Because the assumed average return (pear year) is 20-30% - if you're "good".

    30% of 5,000$ account = $1,500 per year.

    Not nearly enough to cover anything...

    1. take a string of losses

    2. refine trading skill

    3. remain alive to mature into a very profitable, calm, in-control trader
