Hi, I'm quite new here and have a question regarding the monthly and daily percentage. Say the monthly percentage is 10%, does this mean based on the performance, the system is expected to gain 10% per month (compounding)? So if i started with $100, in six months i should have $177, which is 77% gain. Or does it mean my gain in six months should be 60%, $160??

That is an average rate of the system, following the principle of the system - ie if the system is compounding, then that is a compounding rate, otherwise not (in which case the compounding rate would be higher as you've suggested).
