Setting realistic expectations for your trading is a big part of staying in the long-term trading. Have you defined your trading goal and how realistic it is?
 
Well i think 100% return a year is a realistic trading goal. I know many who want 500-600% a year and few of them make it as well but most of the traders i have seen running after more than 100% a year they expose their account to high risk and don't reach their goals. It depends on your personal expectations but i would say always set a target which you think you can easily achieve without taking much risk in a month or year. In addition to that if you get anything extra then consider that as an add-on.
 
I would have to agree withe xness - a complete ROI would be perfect. Setting goals especially realistic ones is important for any trader and one place to start off with is a one hundred percent return on investment..
 
You cant really define a trading goal. it depends mainly on the market situation you can only wish for making consistent positive trades.
 
Ma trading goal ( don't want it to sound not serious), but it is to prove to ma father that he was wrong, that forex trading - it's not cheating, and earnings on it - not a fairy tale. So I want to earn several thousand per month and in the future to make it ma main job.
