This is a YouTube video titled "Debating Monthly ROI Expectations: What's Realistic in Forex Trading?" containing a monologue or single-speaker discussion from June 21, 2024, where the speaker debates reasonable monthly return on investment (ROI) expectations in forex trading, comparing them to typical business margins.
I got on this forum and it was forex form and got to talking about, you know, what's reasonable to expect for like a monthly roi. And I said, you know, you really don't want to be working. You don't really want to be doing anything less than 5%. I mean, realistically, because there's so many other businesses that the average is 6% or better. Why the hell should you be over here, you know, settling for less than 5%? And I had a bunch of different people, and they're like, oh, man, you're full of crap. If you're a trader and you're making more than 1 or 2% a month, you're a liar. And I'm like, no, this is like real business life here. A lot of businesses, if your margin is less than 10%, it's like, that's razor thin margin.
