Realistic numbers

For each $1,000 of required monthly income (before taxes),
you will need somewhere between $25,000 and $150,000 in trading capital,
depending on the consistent, long-term-average return on investment (ROI) that you are able to achieve and maintain in your trading.

Then, you can figure out how they might apply to you.
