Is 2% or 5% profit impossible to be archived by a trader on a daily?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I know we have some good traders on this forum, and this question is directly to you guys.

I was having a discussion yesterday with some friends, while I was trying to let them understand that archiving 2% - 5% profit off the market is very possible in every trading day, they all saw it as to be impossible because the market is so dynamic. "Yea, the market is dynamic but 2% is way too small not to be archived daily, " So I said.

From my experience in trading, making 2% - 5% profit every day is very possible but people that would have a good advantage over such small profit are those traders that are trading with a large capital like $100k - $1m.

Since I started trading, if my profit target was just, 5%, then I would not close any trade in lose. Perhaps I take just two trade per day. What's you experience?

I want to hear your opinion on this.

If you manage to profit 2% daily, you'll become a millionaire within a few months with a capital of $1000. If you think that it's easy to make 2% per day with trading, you are hugely mistaken.
I suggest you step away from day trading and don't think about daily 2%. Try to focus on long-term trading. I buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptos a few times a year or sometimes I won't even trade for a year. I always try to catch the best moments instead of every moment. For example, when Bitcoin's price fell, I waited till Bitcoin felt as low as 30K, then I bought it and kept it in my wallet for a long time. Then I sold it in 2024 when the price reached 50K, then I bought it again, and then I sold it. I bought it again today and I plan to hold it until it reaches 150K. I won't sell it for a lower price, the basic rule of trading is buy low - sell high.

Obviously, it's impossible to win every day, that's not how a game of risk works. Trading is a risky game too, but it's generally less risky compared to gambling. In fact, the only ones consistently making profits on a daily basis are the exchanges themselves through trading fees, withdrawal fees, and other charges we all end up paying.

I mean if that was feasible I reckon there'd be a lot of traders who bloody rich already imo, regardless even of their starting amount. Even a $100 could amount to 100k something afaik if with a 2% profit daily in a YEAR, let alone $1k. Yes the principle buy low sell high can help you achieve this but it doesn't mean that everything you buy is the actual low and that makes all the difference imo. If you were able to accurately predict it all the time, either the markets are manipulated by you or you are able to somehow predict the future.

And it's for a reason a lot of traders say to beginners that if they want to start trading, expect losses. It WILL happen, always.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Thats a possibility that you only win all your position and trades. In my honest opinion making it consistent win daily is quite hard. Even the professional trader who memorize all the possible outcome based on charts and parameters still loses. You win 3 days straight of 5% but on the 4th day you loses 20% now you still at the losing oart. Unless you able to block the potential loss or got stop loss before a damage incurred on your position.

From my experience in trading, making 2% - 5% profit every day is very possible but people that would have a good advantage over such small profit are those traders that are trading with a large capital like $100k - $1m.

You can check about possible chances to enter the market with trading and how many times you can have 2% or 5% profit with your trading position in a single day. It's about a big condition if you can perfectly enter the market with all possible opportunities daily.

Reality is different, you miss many chances, and your entries are not perfect, so you will have less probability to get 2% or 5% profit from your trading daily.

Traders with very large capital, will be more likely not trade too actively daily. They will use most capital for long term investment because they know high risk of trading, and experienced enough to make profit another easier way, through investment rather than trading.

I agree with that, 2% -5% are very easy to get every day especially using future trade will be much easier, I myself do trading with a target of 10% every day and it works with a capital of $ 100 and 20% margin and by using Leverage according to the target calculation of rapid trade from every trade that is done is far more effective, yes even though it indeed gets $ 10 every day is small, but if we do it in a long period of time it will feel better than we play gambling with easy capital in liquidation market.

Unless my spot trading is very difficult to do it because based on the price fluctuation of a token that follows the direction of the market motion.

From my experience in trading, making 2% - 5% profit every day is very possible <...>

What a load of bollocks, please, those of you who have no idea about trading and are thinking of starting don't pay any attention to what he says.

If you manage to profit 2% daily, you'll become a millionaire within a few months with a capital of $1000. If you think that it's easy to make 2% per day with trading, you are hugely mistaken.

Not a few months but if you start with $1,000 today on 2 February 2026 you'll have $1,377,408.29. One of the things people least understand, even in economic forums like this one, is the power of compound interest.

I agree with that, 2% -5% are very easy to get every day especially using future trade will be much easier, I myself do trading with a target of 10% every day and it works with a capital of $ 100 and 20% margin and by using Leverage according to the target calculation of rapid trade from every trade that is done is far more effective, yes even though it indeed gets $ 10 every day is small, but if we do it in a long period of time it will feel better than we play gambling with easy capital in liquidation market.

This is another one that you shouldn't pay any attention to if you don't have much of an idea of what this is all about and you are thinking of starting or have only recently started trading. And with leverage.

What are you doing here making $70 a week, then?

In case it is not clear to people who have no idea about this, the answer to the OP's question is NO.

If someone offers you that return it is a scam.

From your experience? And how many days have you been a trader if I may ask? Sure, you might hit those numbers on some days, or get lucky for a short period.  But that's not consistent, reliable profitability.  In the real world, consistently pulling 2-5% daily is statistically improbable for 99.99% of traders.

In general, this is my personal way and seen from my experience and glasses that can be relied on, but yes this is not all other people and can get it, I also have to try to do it with a capital of more than $ 10K but mental pressure and too Mental readiness is different from us using only a small portion that you want to use in the Future market with a crazy fluctuation because it uses leverage.

Seeing from the risks and failures that are definitely there in 1 week, you also certainly have a risk management even though what you use is a small money and you certainly know how much you can tolerate the loss as an SL in every position you are trading.

Base on my experience in trading there is no guaranteed wins in it, yes the 2% to 5% profit is definitely not that impossible but it isn’t guaranteed, taking day trades for this percentage wins is simply just like someone who is scalping a trade with small time frame. This actually is best for large capital trades because with a 2% win in a $1000 trade the profit will be $20, imagine with the capital of $100k one will be at $2k profit which if gotten daily will be a really big win in like a month trade.

I have my personal take profit even if it is 5% and the trade triggers I take my profit i don’t go against my trading plan to allow trades move more ahead because this is what actually welcomes greed into trading, if it is spot trading it is understandable because one can actually leave the coins as moonbag

I share the opinion of your friends, who also believe that 2-5% profit per day is impossible. The problem is that you will not be able to close all your orders with a profit, because you will definitely have unprofitable trades and liquidations are quite possible, which will not allow you to complete your task.

[Oshosondy]

Did you mean if the yearly average is taken? Or it must be daily?

If you want such amount daily but which can fail but the probability of it to fail will reduce when you stop thinking about using stop loss and start trading with low amount of money. Learn about average and be wise about it because it is dangerous if misused.

For yearly average, it is also possible.

The amount of money you used is not necessary because you represent the money you want to make in percentage.

Back when I was starting in trading, I really thought that a mere 5% per day is achievable, especially in futures trading where your money can go up to 5% or even more in just a few minutes depending on the amount of leverage you put in your position.

The more I trade, the more I realize that this is almost impossible to achieve. I mean the constant daily profits is impossible because there will always be times where you will experience losses along the way. I guess the most reasonable target is 5%-10% per week because that most likely is achievable. Even an expert has losing trades, but they still end up making money. As for liquidations, we just saw a $2.03 Billion amount of liquidated money during the last 24 hours, and I don't know if this is the biggest single day liquidation in the history of futures trading.

You don't know what you are talking about, mate. I am pretty sure you can't make even 1% daily in profits at a consistent level. Sometimes the market gets so unpredictable and you have bad trades and days.

If it was that easy, every trade would be rich.

[shinratensei_]

getting 5% profit is easy, you can do it literally in 5 minute when market is so volatile like recently when there's massive market dumping, the market recover and getting 10% gain with just the right entry at the bottom of the dip can give you that, the problem is consistency, you aren't gonna be hitting the bottom everytime you buy the dip, sometime the market just dumped even further, and you can lose your entire month profit + capital loss then you're forced to become holder if you don't want to realize your loss.

my advice is, try with small capital first, see if you can do 5% consistently, then you make your decision, market isn't as easy as it seems, everybody in the market is trying to outsmart each other and trust me there are people with good resources trying to outsmart you everytime. that's when your trading strategy gonna be tested.

I want to hear your opinion on this.

If a trader trades on a daily basis, it is possible to achieve this, but I do not think it can be done regularly or every day. Because the market situation is not always at the same level. For this reason, the trader will have to change his situation. If a trader can manage trading by keeping a profit limit between 2-5%, it will be much easier to get profit from trading. Sometimes, regular trading profit may not be possible among small traders, but if a trader tries to hold short time, there is a possibility of his profit later. It is not possible to make a profit from trading for sure, but trading is definitely a good idea for those who can be satisfied with a small profit.

Although the profit margin is low in daily trading, a trader has to be very smart in this type of trading. It is necessary to have knowledge about market trends and global economy, including business and commerce. In day trading, the loss can increase due to a slight mistake, which is why you have to be careful while taking trades.

[batang_bitcoin]

They are not wrong but it seems too easy to hear with small percentage in a daily trade is possible. While the possibility is there and it's very achievable, you'll never know how long you'll have to close your trades because volatility is our enemy and friend here. It becomes our friend if we make some profit and closing some trades is sometimes hard when we can't control our emotions thinking that we could achieve more. I think shield is right, don't underestimate trading and even it's going to be 1% or 5% of daily profit, don't be too comfortable everyday.

[traderethereum]

It is not easy to profit and achieve 2%-5% in trading because the market is so dynamic. But achieving 2% is not too high to try especially if they have good skill in trading. If they have more capital to trade, they will have more opportunity to make a profit and reach 2%-5% but that still difficult to achieve that percentage daily.

That will depend on the market moves because if the market moves good, they can expect to achieve bigger percentage. So the thing that we must concern is how we can analyze the market before we take action. So we need to be careful to analyze and no in rush in trading.

Yes, it looks like it was the biggest liquidation of all time. And although we know that trading on the spot market is safer than trading futures, I think it's still sad to look at your balance sheet, which has significantly decreased.
