Is it easy to make 100% monthly profit for any size of account balance?

The gambler will take $1000 and try and make $1000 (100%) in one hit and the probability of being wiped out is extremely high.

The professional will take the same $1000 and try and make $20 50 times and still make $1000 (100%).

Sure it will take longer and there will be some ups and downs but the probability of making the 1k slowly and incrementally means being wiped out is extremely low.

exactly right

I think it is more about how much one can lose. 100% monthly sounds far fetched.
Leverage is a killer.

If your win ratio is 50%.
Your profit/loss ratio is 3:1
You risk 5% per trade to earn 15%+ per trade.

Then you would need just about 10 trades to double your account.

Nope.. your going to lose everything soon if you try this strategy... market will wipe out your trading style eventually.. everyone hits 7 or more losses in a row eventually.. .. then you'll have to start all over again..

I tend to agree with JC. 100% requires same level of risk. it is just not acceptable. This game should be played from defensive stance.
Odds are such that without proper money risk management there s no chances to survive. I think 20-30% annual return with small risk is very good.

I tend to agree with JC. To make 100% monthly corresponding risk should be taken which is unacceptable. 30% annual return with good risk control is all people need. 50% is absolutely fantastic. Of course it might be possible for some time but odds are there that after a month or two of high returns account will be blown out of the water.
Generally, trader should be concerned more with how much he/she can lose rather than how much he/she can win.

Exactly, Everything must be calculated on a worst case scenario first. Ignoring the real risks out there and getting gold fever are what eliminates all of the traders trying to get rich quick.

Just think.. wouldn't you put your money into something that consistently makes a 10-30% ROI yearly with minimal drawdown? Of course you would

I think too many people are trading forex to pay their immediate bills. This is what places unrealistic expectations and pressure on yourself to perform. When in reality, you are not always responsible for your trading results since the market has 937439 different ways of moving which can wipe out your account. That's why realistic results will keep these drawdowns minimal.

Calm down beginner traders.. you cannot and will not make 100% plus ROI yearly. Unless of course your the rare .01% of the traders that can do that continually. And of course those rare traders wouldn't be on here posting in a Forex forum since they have millions to play around with and better things to do.

The holy grail does not exist.. but consistent and realistic returns are doable. Good luck to all and lets keep supporting each other.

sell gbp/jpy @ 171.00, sl @ 173.20, tp @ 166.00

Buy aud/usd @ .8790, sl @ .8754, tp @ .9150

estimated time one week

nzd/cad mid-long term analysis sell@ .9210, sl@ .9300, tp1@ .9000, tp2@ .8900, estimated time = less than 2 weeks

Yes. But you would have to familiarize yourself with more than just one currency pair. It takes a lot more work but once you get used to it you can go beyond 100% per month.

remember any number is possible (within limits) but the higher you want the more risk. I have run account up to 700% in a month just to blow them as the risk needed to do this can be insane :)

if you want 100% return per month i would suggest you to try casino

i saw ppl made 20000% gain within a year by doing long term high risk trade ...ended up with 100%loss

Here's how to do it.

1.) Trade the smallest lot size possible. Use wide stop losses as the swings can be very high.
2.) Do position trading, only add another similar trading position when your previous open position has already recouped its losses from spreads and commissions. Move your SL just slight above your entry level so you already locked in your profits. Use the same lot size. A good trend can actually allow you to add 5 buy/sell positions before the trend is exhausted and a reversal is finally confirmed.
3.) Use timeframes from H4 to MN. Don't go to any timeframe lower than this.
4.) Hold positions based on H4 and MN timeframes, this could last from a few days to a few months.

100% I agree.
I recommend all members must read your advice.

When the market conditions are 'right' for your strategy, you can make 100% (maybe even more). But keep in mind that market conditions change all the time and you will be not always on the right side of the market. And...if you are on the wrong side of the market and go for 100% p.M., you will end up with a margin call.
