Beginner Questions

Another glib statement put forward as facts. smh.

And all that from someone who joined the website just over two weeks ago and was asking the above question. I honestly dont know how to respond to something like this, lol.
I give up, you win, 10% is impossible.

Actually, fixing the percentage amount is tough but all depends on trading experience. If you have sufficient trading experience and know well how to maintain money management properly, you can maintain 10% return every month.

i am sure your post was a typo, but that number you posted is 2.655 billion(not trillion).

typo or not, your calculation is not correct.

with a starting balance of $1m, ten percent compounded for 120 months(10 years) will be $92 billion.

I am of the opinion that it is possible to average 10% per month over a long period. But maintaining 10% returns each and every month is not something you can count on. What may happen is a scenario where you may make for example as high as 30% on one particular month, only to make 0% or even a negative on the next one. But calculating over a period of say 2 years, it is possible to have an average 10% per month. Remember that trading results are determined by the market conditions. Not our individual ambitions.

26

Yup. I have been trading using a small account and I was up 20% last year but that’s for an entire year, definitely far from 10% per month.

27

If i remember correctly. 1.89% per month compounded for twelve months is 25%
