Why do people say that 35%+ per month is not sustainable in forex?

I know traders must remain humble but is it bad to aim for more each month or should I just limit myself once a point is hit?

In any case, there will be fluctuations and stability is not visible here.

You can, of course, earn 35 percent or more per month, but this will be high-risk trading in its purest form.

I'll take that as an unfulfilled compliment for now..

Don't focus on how much percentage you are gaining. Focus on what your strategy and trading psychology says to you. Market doesn't behave same way all the time. For some month your strategy may allow you to get 10% some months it could be 40% in some months it could be break even. So a specific target per month can make you restless and as a result you could lose more.

It depends how good you are. If you are a excellent short term trader, 35% is certainly doable.

I think consistency is the main thing. If you can mke the profit consistently it is very profitable.

Good tips. However, target can motive trader. It is kind of positive trading psychology.

The price movement in the Forex market is not always the same. Due to which the profit does not always come somehow. You are targeting 35% but it may not come in any month due to volatility. Then you have to be happy with 10-20%. If you are not happy with it and want to earn a 35% profit, it is very harmful to trading.

@LyudmilLukanov yes having target is motivating. But the target should be long term. Like 3 months target. It gives us space. Short term target can create pressure and be the reason of over trading.

Some people usually take short-term goals and think that thanks to this they will be able to motivate themselves as much as possible, but they are wrong.

Making profit consistently is a difficult job in forex market. But if you have proper knowledge and experience, it is possible to earn a fixed target from this market. But for that, you have to work hard.

How would you define sustainable? If you are talking about years after years then no, the account will get blown up.. It's just a matter of time. If anyone tell you otherwise, find anyone who can provide you with myfxbook with a reputable and regulated broker who can provide you at least 3 years of track record on that.

Basically it can't be a 3 years track record, because 35% monthly compound any broker would kick you out ;)

The most safe way to trade is making something between 0.5% and 9.5% per month over a few years, and also not withdrawing all the profits at once.
patience is the key

I think 0.5 is too low. I recommend newbie 3-5% per month return. if you can achieve that, then aim for 10%.
