My results are realistic and I practice it every day

Respect: 2.5 % /day!
If you only had 1000 in each account, your accounts would be 377 millions heavy after 2 years. Is that right?

Oh man, what a terrible math mistake. I summed up 5 times 0.5 % to 2.5 total. But it keeps ß.5 % in total ...

Daily targets are not helpful. Even pro's cannot make a specific percent per day. Some days there are losses. Aim for monthly or weekly gains not daily

Realistic gains in trading, including forex, can vary widely depending on factors like your trading strategy, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Generally, aiming for a consistent monthly return of 1-5% is considered realistic and sustainable.

I completely agree, the professional traders I know analyze their results monthly, semi-annually and even annually. They don't even have specific goals, but if they did they would be annual. When I say professional traders, I am referring to those who work in offices of large companies, I am not referring to ‘funded traders’ or traders who sell courses and signal rooms

I am trying EAs and maybe they make me some money

Hi Community,

with CFD brokers it seemed to be very easy to make 3 percent per day in average. Sometimes I made 20 percent, but instead to keep the win, I lost everything because of greed.
But 3 percent seems to be realistic.

What do you think how much is realistic?

Thank you

Wins are subjective. For me, as long as i exit positive, i am ok. Whether it is 30% or .3% because pa will tell me.

With 3% per day in a year you make 120385%+, in 3 years you turn $100 in $174099242700+

I think 3% per week or 15% per month with low drawdown look like a great performance


From what you wrote, you seem to be an EXTRAORDINARY EXCELLENT trader, if I were you I would probably build a large capital and reduce risk as the capital grows. And after having a large capital I would look for 5% to 10% per month

I agree with you

The statistics is 3% a month.

It's what i was taught. So, if you make 3% a month, and held positive 3% or above for that month, you are beast.

I have the same problem as you have.
What I did in the last month was I lowered the cash in my account and started to Focus on the progress, other than on how much money I have made.
That helped me improve my trading style.
Since then I have gained about 3.5% & dropped down to -6%, But after I fixed my win\lossses ratio my account now is up again at 3.5%.
I'll continue to work on myself.
The hardest part is to control our emotions. If we master controlling our emotions we will be successful.

Bookmap , volume profile for my technical analysis. And just basic snd .

3% per trading day, this is a great result and I haven't even met anyone who can do 3% of profit everyday and control this level o the stable base. What about market changes, unpredictable news situations, how do you handle this issue?

it's possible to get 3% profit in one trade. but in case it is a long-term trade.
