50k trading account profits?

Quote from Kassz007:

By irrelevant I mean that every single trader will give you a different amount of profit you "should" be making on 50K. Some will say 2%, 5%, double every month, etc. etc.

There is no correct amount of profit to make on any account size. Some will tell you if you aren't making 3% or if you aren't making 10K a month on 50K capital then you are underperforming, etc. etc. but it's not true.

If your returns are larger than market returns, consider yourself to be doing well.

Thank you for explaining but actually the question is not to get a direct answer that would be as you said " different". My question is a try to read what are the expectations in the minds of the traders when they figure out they have a profitable working strategy.

However, i agreed with your answer that market should decide and not primarily on ones expectation.

I see, in that case carry on.

From the poll, it is obvious that 10% or less is the ratio that most of traders thought it is a realistic profit percentage.

I have a simple question but i wish all answer it in just few words please. If you have a 50k trading account, what do you expect the realistic profits could yield monthly?

Don't get caught up in expectations. Most can only make what the market offers. In 08/09 the potentail was immense as the market collapsed and then soared. This year has been somewhat range bound.

While I may be mocked for this, I trade not to lose and to beat MM rates. Doesn't sound like much but occasionally there's a huge year (or two).

Which market you are talking about?

I think who play the same instrument but in a different time frame could consider him/herself playing different market?

Does any here agree with me?

Define market?

For me market = certain financial instrument(s)+certain time frame (s)+ certain trading method.
