Q

Quanto

For a small account (< $100k), which trading strategy/method makes on avg more than 30% profit per month?
I guess it can only be automated daytrading, right?
Which markets/assets/instruments? Options?
 
I think Swing Trading is good, but it's essential to research and test different strategies to find the one that is best for every person's goals.

Tough to make 30% consistently with swing trading. IMO the shorter the period the easier to compound small gains and control the equity curve.

Easier to achieve 1.3% daily average on a day trading basis.

I’d recommend something you know something about. That has liquidity and volatility. Long, short. On a daily basis.

Risk max 3% per day, target min 3% per day.
Depending on ur hit rate … you can aim for +-30% per month in average.

Thx for the info. Yes, 1.3% p.d. means about 30% p.m.
So, i need to switch to daytrading.
The day has 6.5 hours. I need to automate the trades.
Ok, then at least one good thing is that one no longer will have any overnight risk anymore... :)
I think I can master daytrading, though never tried yet, but it looks "doable" :)
Btw, I'll now also take a new look at 0DTE :-)

If you desire an answer to your question, research the traders and their methods who have won those competitions.

I concur. Daytrading for income, swing trading for massive growth.

Not sure what competition you talk about but most don’t make 30% per month swing trading neither.

Most years, the winners achieve 200 or 300% per year which is < 15% per month.

Sure if you have +100M then it might be tough to daytrade and most championships are “investing” ones.

When you swing trade then you hold stocks during down, dull days while you could theoretically make money on a daytrading basis.

Sorry but swing trading is slower to compound.
I do both swing and day trading and …
That’s my point of view.

Not even Jim Simons can achieve that type of returns.

You are looking at 23x compounded return in one year! Your small $100K account will turn into $2.3M within a year.

You sir will be another YouTube star.

Yeah, that would be OK with me! I would have nothing to complain about it... :)

My impression is that there is much more possible in the financial markets for small accounts, if only done right...
The deeper I analyse the market data the more opportunities I find, but unfortunately most of the found trades require big pockets.
In a year or so I'll make use also of these trade opportunities :)
