Kosta Ouzas argues that market income depends on available capital and realistic returns, not on simply trying harder. He gives concrete monthly-return examples: at 3% per month you need roughly $333,000 to generate $10,000 income; at 5% per month you need about $200,000. He warns that claims of higher income without matching capital imply hidden risk, leverage, or losses.

Roughly $333,000.

About $200,000.

At 3% per month, to make $10,000, you need roughly $333,000. At 5% per month, you need about $200,000. That's it. That's the reality. There is no strategy that magically bypasses the math. If someone tells you otherwise, they're hiding risk or they're hiding leverage or they're hiding losses. So step one is not to trade harder. It's acknowledging that income is a function of capital and realistic returns, not more effort.
