The best profit range in trading usually lies between 1% and 5% monthly return for an independent trader, which corresponds to an approximate annual return of 12% to 60%1. This range is considered realistic and sustainable, as higher profits usually entail very high risks.
Profit also depends on the trading style:
Scalping: many daily trades with a low risk/reward ratio (e.g. 0.7:1).
Position trading: few trades per month with a high risk/reward ratio (e.g. 10:1 or more).
In range trading, which is based on operating within clear support and resistance levels, profit is limited by the size of the range, and a reward/risk ratio of at least 2:1 is recommended to manage risk well.
In summary, a monthly profit range between 1% and 5% is considered optimal to maintain a balance between profitability and risk in trading.
