You do not.
I do, I have seen their accounts as I have been to both their houses to learn to trade.
Just because some people make more than you.....(not me probably yet though lol)
You may think you know such people
But you do NOT know them

WHat do you mean please?
15-20% a month is possible. If you start with micro account and let's say 500 bucks. Make a couple of insanely risky trades and you'll earn 10-50% per trade.
Then again you can lose it all just as fast.
You'd be better off betting on a coin toss.

My thoughts are that it is hard to maintain 15-20% month on month.
I started with a good run and then found biases in market changed and even though I maintain the same trading rules the number of trades that come up have been far fewer in last 2 months.
I think the case is that traders have a couple of good months, then they have the quiet months, and then they change their approach to capture more trades and this is where things can possibly go bad.
Plus a trading strategy that works today with probably not work 6 months from now without improvement and performance tuning.
Personally I don't care if I make 1% or 20% per month, the goal I am trying to keep is to have the returns graph on a consistent gradient.

The quiet month thing can be difficult at first. With many traders (myself included) there is a tendency to think that you should always be in a trade and at least trade a couple of times a day. But over the years I have come to believe that it is better to trade less frequently and wait for the good opportunities. I waited 2 weeks without taking any trade. It was tough but I then caught a big 200 pip move so I was very happy in the end

Trading frequency as well as when to trade has to be defined in trading plan
If you do not have such trading plan, do not trade as then you are gambling.

Good advice that.
No need to take a trade just for the sake of it.
Waiting to trade is difficult at times. I agree with most of you wholeheartedly. Only trade with supreme confidence...when you can see your exit well ahead of your entrance to any position. Sometimes in a fast changing market you need to adjust your strategy as well. So, no need to stick around in an investment when your strategy is broken. Cut your losses and move on.

Hi every one !
Frankly saying , I'm not a trader at all.
But one of my friend has been in this trading business for just around 6 months and
he's telling me that his boss is making 15 to 20% profit every month.
He's also asking me to invest in his team.
And he's also giving a guarantee not to lose any of my money and have a 15 to 20% profit or stable income.
He said his boss can make it even more , but he's just saying as a safe zone about this.
For me, everything he said is 'Too Good Too Be True' and even though I still can't believe it,
I want to make sure by hearing from all of you on this claim.
Is that possible ?
And if that's possible, is there anyone or anyway that can prove this could be done by some kinds of evidence.
Cos this is my friend , I don't wanna hurt him in any way but
I want to prove his boss is hiding something from him or just simply lying.
Can anyone please help me about this?
Is that possible to make Making 15 to 20% profit every month by forex trading ?
What's the average profit of a professional trader can make every month ?
( one of my friends recommended me to come here and asked about it , I hope any of you can help me )

Am I missing something? Why would you sell a working profitable strategy/tool or whatever if you can use it yourself instead?
Also, when someone tells you he'll sell you a profitable tool/strategy/signals - ask them if you can use it on your current broker.
When the answer is 'You have to use this broker, with this account' - you can be sure it's a scam.
If a strategy/signal is profitable it should be so on every broker.
Accept the loss as experience

Ask your friend to show you his boss’s results and get them analysed by some professional. Then if, you he/you find the results genuine, invest.

Don't invest money in someone else or worry what others are making. Put the time and practice into making yourself a profitable trader.

It sounds like his boss has only been investing for 6 months. That's not a long enough track record to offer a guarantee. It sounds like a case of overconfidence.

It is possible.Truly, there are no bounds to how much can be earned in forex. A sturdy strategy is essential to be boundless. W. H. Henry bought the Red Sox Team. All his wealth was made from trading.

It's only possible with good money management and a srategy where he strictly follow the rules. Good traders are hard to find, but once you have found one make sure to double check and triple check his trading results. They must have low DD and a good trading result. All the best!

15-20% profit is possible but risky. If some one is very knowledgeable about trading and have well experienced then its possible but not for always.
Day by day having better, better and better...
