LOL\you may not believe this funny incident;
I was in he gasoline station , in line + the clown in front of me bought some lotto tickets [stupid tax on people that cant do math].
I asked ''you ever WON anything??''
He assured me he had not , but also assured me ,''came close'' LOL\LOL cant make this stuff UP

20% of what? Cash on cash or levered capital? Cash on cash, highly unlikely. levered capital, sure, that and more but it requires a lot of experience, skill and discipline.

It is totally possible until you become a certain percentage of the given market, but up to that point you could be leveraged as high as x20 and have to be able to handle the emotions involved in that.

since you are such an awesome paper trader, why haven't you done it in your sim account?

if you're just trading 5-10k you can absolutely reach that kind of performance.
Low capacity strategies usually have a good yield

BUT he may want to read the fine print on some 4x sites;
may lose all the money in account, but the better ones limit it to initial capital.LOL
SORRY i gambled for quarters as a kid , pool hall but comissions were to high to trade much.
Best way to lose max money + max % is lever UP when starting; especially opTions 4x, ES,SPXS + such . UPRO almost as bad =============================================================================================
Lotto+ leverage is a stupid tax on people that cant do math; some people get by with leveraged mortgage, but 100% of foreclosures are with leverage.

I can pull it off with no problem, max upper single digit DD, scalable into over double digit MMs.

The question you should ask yourself is if it's possible to lose 20 % per month.

And since you're asking these kind of questions the answer for you is YES.

impossible to lose 20%. Just use stops and react to the market rather than predict the market.
