Rather than discuss what you can expect -- the range from a large negative to a small positive is huge -- why not focus on a reasonable goal? Unless you have a strategy that you think can produce 30 points a month and then as you begin to execute it flawlessly 40 + points you should probably rethink your approach.
On the other hand if you are a relatively new trader -- as I am sure you are -- if you have a strategy that you think will produce 200 points a month then you are clearly operating in fantasy land. Shoot for 6 to 10 points a week early on and be damned pleased to get to that point while you still have capital to exploit what you have going for you.
