How much profit can l REALISTICALLY make trading starting with 500 dollars

It’s an unrealistic question, really, because the purpose of trading with a $500 account isn’t to make money. It’s to gain experience and practice.

You still haven’t said from how much capital (on demo) you made $65,000.

Work it out, from that, on a percentage basis.

Even if you manage to make 5% per month, instead of 2%, that’s still only $25 per month, if you start with $500.

But VERY few people (and no beginners) manage to make 5% steadily, per month.

Your expectations are unreasonable, aren’t they?

This is the thread you need:-

Hi @Bionic0101,

@LukasVisser is spot on. We would only add that another goal of a $500 account is to steadily grow it to $550. Then you have a $550 account, and you can set a new goal with that account size to grow it to $600 and so on. This site is called BabyPips after all.

As your account grows, you can increase your trade size responsibly by maintaining an appropriate level of effective leverage as discussed in this thread: How much is the minimum capital to invest?
