Many here don't understand the 1% risk per trade and 5% monthly target , thats 5 times his stoploss as a monthly target so if his stop per trade is 2ES points - = 1% of his account - then his monthly target is 10 ES points .
Yes that's definitely doable.
Exemple, 10 trades per month,
Reward to Risk ratio of 3 to 1 Min,
And something like 40% win rate.
It provides 5% monthly in avrg.
{-10., -6., -2., 2., 6., 10., 14., 18., 22., 26., 30.}
For P(G) = {0, 0.1, ..., 1} & 3 to 1 odds.
Return in % for 10 trades.
Now you need the 15% advantage.
3 to 1 is 25% wins A Priori.
40-25=15% advantage.
In Avrg, consistently.
