I was just wondering what a trader should expect from his capital on monthly basis? Some trader say they make over 10 to 15 percent and some say they make about 4 to 5 percent per month so I want to know what is your average income per month in percentage to your original investment? and what realistic figure a new trader like me should expect?

Hello kashif314, I am a new trader. I am looking at trading to increase my yearly return on investment. For me a return of 30% to 50% per year would make the effort of learning to trade worthwhile. I have read in another thread that traders in myfxbook that have been around for 1 and 2 years make 4% to 8% per month. A new trader that has not done the hard work of developing a plan, trading system, money management system. Backtesting the system then practicing on a demo account to learn how to execute the system without fail. Then open a small account to learn to execute trades with real money and to see if system matches the backtesting results before going full tilt with your intended investment. I would say realistically a new trader, that does not do the hard work, should expect to go broke.

You get back the effort you put in , and that means in anything you do.
