My target is 3-4% monthly, 50% yearly with low DD (so far about 3.5% max). Even 10% monthly on average is possible but one has to expect larger DD.

Realistic Monthly Trading Profit?

Well, I would like to see performances of traders who dont use SL. I am guessing there would be some huge drawdowns...

Trading without stop-losses

1.2-1.4% per trade to keep the DD low. On some accounts higher risk per trade is used.

How much do you risk per trade?

It all depends on traders/investors risk tolerance. If you are willing to risk more, then your profits should be higher. If your max acceptable DD is 20%, then your monthly average should be around 5%.
