How much would you say one could realistically make a month trading?

[Cling18]

If doing it full time, starting from let's say $10,000 to play with, and btc being in between the same volatility now and how it was about a year ago when it was at around 6k..what could you net a month, realistically?

There's no specific amount or earning for a full time trader because things will depend on our skills and how we deal with the market. Ever market situation is actually profitable if we know how to take advantage of it. Having enough skills in trading especially in technical analysis would be the basis of your daily or monthly earning.

It depends with which capital you start and also from the time you start. Starting trading this year you would make much more money then normal times. And if you get really good at it only the sky is the limit.

[palle11]

Yes, even with only $10,000. Leverage is a "wonderful" thing that could either make you rich or could make you homeless in no time.

Leverage haha... You quite understand leverage, very risky to rely on. Leveraging an account especially high leverage of 1-500 could be a high risk.

For OP 10,000, I think plotting for a 10% profit in a month is moderate enough for a professional trader.

[BuNga_cute]

If you want to become a full time trader you must have good trading knowledge too, it is not enough to have large capital. Because if you don't have
good trading knowledge, it is very likely that your capital will run out like dust. So think carefully before deciding to become full time traders.
Regarding profit, it should be if trading every day can generate a profit of 20% per month.

It depends on a couple of factors so we can only give estimates - assuming all trades go our way or at the very least, get nice win rate with decent risk management to go along with it. From the details you gave, I'd say profiting 1% per day results in $100 daily. Multiply that by 30 days and you'd have $3K per month as profit. Doesn't seem like much but that's actually a 30% increase from the starting capital. That's a viable value and shouldn't be too hard to hit especially when back by a solid trading plan. Bitcoin makes 1-2% percent moves to the upside almost every other day. What's important is taking advantage of those moves when they happen.

OP must have to clear your target profit every day. This is very important for you to be guided.

It depends with which capital you start and also from the time you start. Starting trading this year you would make much more money then normal times. And if you get really good at it only the sky is the limit.

Having a capital of $10,000 as OP mentioned was big already. If he gonna play it right, if he is good in trading, he can possibly get big returns. 1-2% daily profit, it was big enough for me. That can be increased depending on the market situation and that also how you respond to it.

[New.in.trading]

I would go with a percentage of your Account.

Short term: with high risk: more than 50% is possible

Long term: with serious money management rules and not more than 1 or 2 trades a day, I'say 10-30% a month is more than good. Sounds like its not much, but do the math to see where you are in 3-4 years if you can continuously make 10-15% a month, trading BTCUSD.

I know that you are "new in trading" and you have been around for few months only, but those are not realistic numbers at all, you have to know that. Sure since October we have been in a bull run so making 10-50% type of returns monthly were possible, you could definitely reach those numbers in these last months, but that is not really the case in most situations, only in bull markets.

It means if you are not in a bull market, doesn't need to even be a bear market, you will end up losing a lot of money, and if it is in bear market you are going to end up losing even more money, at least with the way you think. You have to realize there is no "sustainable" amount of money you could make per month, in crypto you sometimes make 100%+ profit a month and sometimes you lose 50% of your money, and all could happen in blink of an eye, that is why I think you should probably realize that going into high risk stuff is not sustainable in the long term.

Well I agree to an extend. As I wrote I'say 10-30% a month is more than good. I did not say its easy. Imho, 10% a month is a great result. There will be month with only +2/3 % and even months with a loss.

I assume you are hodling, not trading, right? If you trade, you can sell in bear markets and still make profits. If you hodl, you dont make money at all, as you only sit on your BTCUSD and not do anything with it. Thats not a bad thing, dont get me wrong! As a trader, I try to go where money goes to then make profits. My trading Mindset is totally different from my hodling mindset.
In trading, I dont risk more than 0,5-1% of my trading account per trade. I always take partial wins and I close the trade if it does not go in my direction. Following these rules, my account grew in the past months. My hodling account is a different thing, it may go up, it may go down, I dont really look at it. I will look at it in a few years and see where it went.

So I partially agree with you.

The amount of capital doesn't matter, it will fully depends on the Trader's capability and talent in Trading, second, it will depends of course on the market situation and what kind of Trading he will do. But a beginner would roughly make just the $10,000 a $100 in a month, depends on how much leverage and bet he will put every trade.

But for a normal Trader, I would day they would make a 40% winning chances and the rest is all losses, nonetheless, it is all work the risk in order to gain knowledge from experience.

In crypto, if you got your eyes peeled on most of the daily action and price swings, you can potentially make 2-10% per day depending on how fast you execute your trades and how careful you are when doing so. I have some good runs in trading wherein I walked away 10% richer, and had bad beats losing most of my capital in an hour or so. There isn't any definite percentage of profits or losses you can get from trading, as it's literally on your calls and your strategy to try and make a profit.

If I'm going to make gain 2-10% (which is possible), I could see myself being rich in just a year of trading. But why many traders have failed? I suppose to think that they wanted to get rich from here? There is one reason why it happens to me, why got tired of trading because of their capital. We can expect a huge return if we just having $100 as a capital.

*Huge capital
*Effective trading strategy
*Plan

I believe these things could help to reach what wanted to happen in the future and this 2-10% daily profit will come to reality.

This is right! These are the factors that mainly affect someones profitability in a months trading.It will really vary or depend on how much capital you had put in
and how well you do trade in the market.Also, there are chances that even small capital will able to make it big basing off if he do make out compounding
plus having some good trades in the end of the day. Traders can be classified in 2 types neither a short term one or long term one.
Decisions would be made basing off into their initial goals or plans in the first place.

[gabbie2010]

Using 2% on a trade and compounding your daily profits is the best bet towards a reasonable amount of profits monthly provided that you have a good trading strategy and sound money management however if you decided to buy a coin at low and waiting for it to pump requires DYOR which is also risky if a wrong choice was bought, Making a profits of $2K from an investment of $10K is reasonable coupled with compounding will bring you massive profits in along run however some losses will definitely be incurred.

Lets do the math here:

1.5% account gain per day, for 365 days in a row, what you claim to be easily possible. We start with 10k. After 365 days without withdrawal, your account would be at 2,291,423.81 $.

Check it here:

Not sure if this is realistic... If so, then I am sure everyone in here is stinky rich and no one here has a regular job anymore.

0.5% a day would still bring your account from 10k to 61,746.53$

and your whopping 10% a day... from 10k to 12,833,055,803,133,532,160.00 $ in only 365 days. Only from trading your BTCUSD Not sure if/how realistic this is...

If doing it full time, starting from let's say $10,000 to play with, and btc being in between the same volatility now and how it was about a year ago when it was at around 6k..what could you net a month, realistically?

With this amount I advice to diversify it either so that you will not have a massive losses if bitcoin dips or crashes the next few weeks, or you may do some scalping every 10% growth out of $10,000 is good actually around $1000 gain in every week is enough or $4000 per month. But I am not really sure though because  market is very volatile we can exclude the fact that even though we know that we are in alt season still we don't know how long it will take same as to bitcoin bull run.

It is not possible to draw a line for how much you could make a month with crypto trading, it depends on your skills, decision-making ability, market movement, and importantly luck. Well 5 to 10% return per month is a possible target if the play with their capital in a right manner like setting stop loss to prevent from huge losses and utilizes every movement with stable coin pair, etc.

Easy to do math if only our expected direction will go smoothly which is not the case here.

Don't think about the profits yet. Hard to give numbers wherein we don't know what will happen in the future. Lots of happenings, good or bad can happen even within less than a week so how about for a month. Just do your best to take profits and manage your trades properly. Don't expect much and that's more realistic compare to expecting good returns on a monthly fixed term.

[South Park]

Yes, even with only $10,000. Leverage is a "wonderful" thing that could either make you rich or could make you homeless in no time.

For OP 10,000, I think plotting for a 10% profit in a month is moderate enough for a professional trader.

It depends on which market we are talking about, earning 10% per year in the stock market will make you a hero and I can assure you that many people will try to get you to invest for them if you were able to pull off those results consistently over the years, in the market of cryptocurrencies the volatility is a lot higher so there is more potential here to obtain profits but still your goals need to be realistic otherwise instead of earning money you are going to lose it at an alarming rate.

Realistically you can make anything from zero to 10x of the capital.

Newbies traders who enter the market without proper groundwork on trading and how these market operate are more eligible to go with the zero profit scheme.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but that is what is going to drag you down as well. Full-time trading? Not for the average user who has entered the crypto sphere recently and got pumped up seeing some shill youtube videos about trading.

One of the biggest things that can help you is patience for watching the market and knowing when to buy and when to sell. Currently the price is high and Elon-musked high. Hence this is the time to sell NOT buy. In other words, wrong time to enter the market.

Read past charts and observe the support levels. Dont just buy thinking this is going up and this is not. Indicators and all are only markers, not absolute of the trend.

Everything, of course, depends on your deposit, if your initial deposit is from 1000 dollars, then you can double this amount in a month, and it also depends on the market, at the moment it is best to go to the exchange to earn money.

[tvplus006]

...what could you net a month, realistically?

Despite the fact that we all love bitcoin and ethereum, altcoins bring a really big profit. But your income will be directly related to how you correctly determine the coin to invest in. There are some coins that showed an increase in the price of hundreds of percent per month, and there are those that brought only a loss to their owners. Which side you end up on is up to you.
