Topic: What's a reasonable amount you can make per month trading Crypto long term? (Read 225 times)

The quantity of money that you can make (or lose) by trading cryptocurrencies is so much depending on your talent and skills, that such a question expressed in general terms doesn't make any sense at all.

100% for a year is doable but I doubt that you can make 100% in only one month

At each on different income happens. Here it is possible very well to earn or to lose all in a flash. I do 80-140% a month

My targets for slow movers are usually at least 15-20% gains through time. For quick trades, I can get anywhere from 3% to 10%.

Thanks for all your thoughts guys, I may make another thread down the line for this challenge or I may not. I will update this in a year's time and let you know how I get on Best of luck to everyone getting into the cryptoassets world. Could be something legendary....

My strategy is holding not day trading. IMO, not every month is a good month. Hence 100% gain every month seems unrealistic.

On the average, my portfolio should rise around 30% per month.

Reasonable? 20%-30% to help me get going or to keep me motivated in my trading schemes. But if not, then I'd probably rethink of my trading strategies and see where it leads me to. Trading for a living is really a pain especially if you don't have any patience and you want to get rich quick. I've known some people who lost it all due to bad temper issues and incorrect mindset thinking that trading is the easiest and fastest way to get rich.

100% a month seems like a difficult feat, even 50% is hard to achieve and you need an extreme amount of luck to hit the right trades most of the time.

It all depends on the one's psychology and one's trading expectation because some people might be expecting a part-time income and some might be expecting a full-time income. And if you are expecting a good full-time income then you should be the best in trading with some best strategy and money management techniques put together at work. Initially i have gained almost 4x returns within 6months just by investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero and few other altcoins but i kept on holding the coins till there is a strong trend and momentum running over the chart and i just added few more quantities if there was a deeper correction and by this way i just averaged them on bottom for cost reduction purposes.

I think that this is impossible.
If you start with $ 1, and double it every day, then for a month there will be 1 million!
But how to do this no one will say.

You can put all the money in a coin, and it will collapse and there will be a loss, you can not guess it.
When the coin / token goes to the stock exchange, the developers sell it quickly, and everyone else has a price of 1 satosh ...

There is no such fixed amount that you can make from your investment, trading is based on as you bow so shall you reap.It totally depends on how much you invest and where you invest.With this logic you can get great return or you can fail miserably. The main things about investing in crypto is to be updated with every news that is going around.Because that can make a huge impact on your decision on where to invest.crypto currency is the only way where you can get 2x return in very short time with some wise choices.Bigger is the return, bigger is the risk and lesser is the time that is the procedure in crypto world.

I think that to invest properly, the current time if you have a bitcoin, it is a capital suitable for investment. With a bitcoin you can split into 2 or 3 parts to invest. If you have this amount you can invest without fear of capital shortage because you can DCA the coin you are investing at any time if you find it is losing money.

You can make double your capital in this cryptocurrency.
But do you know the risk? Risk also double. Make the profit reasonable like 30% a month is better.

Lucky you get into crypto world when trading aspect is looking and the only thing which will determine the amount of money you'll make in a month is the experience you have since you're newbie I will advice you to start reading article about trading and study past historical data of coin before invest. However, Graft network ICO, XRP, KMD and NEM are a good way to make huge profit next year.

100% profits per month is amazing on trading. For me, the maximum i can earn on trading monthly is 10-30% from the balance that i had, it's depend though. With big balance you can earn a massive income on cryptocurrency trading. In my opinion 100% profits per month is really good mate.

100% per month? No way... too much.
I hope you don't try with leverage because you will blow up in no time, be careful.

For long term, the profit will not calculate in monthly report but yearly report.
If you want monthly check profit, i think middle term or short term trading you have to do. At least 30% of capital is reasonable profit.

Bump for discussion

Of course not and nowhere did I mention I had all my eggs in one basket at once. I've been using the most fundamental strategy of buying low and selling high, good entry and exit points are skills I need to improve upon for maximum EV. Bankroll management is indeed a very crucial factor to be able to succeed in this area, luckily I have some experience. The goal isn't to just aim for 100% ROI every month, it's always about maximising returns and whether that is 100% long term is another question. Thank you for your input, I will relish this challenge.


Well, funny you should say that since I am a full time poker player. I believe the mindset of a poker player approaches this situation differently as we are used to grinding out small edges which accumulate up over time. Also like a MTT you described there is a lot of "dead money" or huge value in these tournaments that your ROI long term would be much higher than say a 9 man SNG if you can endure the variance. So in a way, I see the market as simply a huge tournament where the hyped up late investors jumping on the wave when it's already near the top adding extra value to the price, then when you sell you're making a lot more than if you were competing in a field with savvy experienced investors. Good point with the seasonal aspect of altcoins, I knew this was a good period but not sure how often these periods last where the % gains are very high. What I know for sure is there is a ton of money to be made here but you need to be smart.


I don't believe in the whole Hodling culture, it is a profitable strategy since overall Crypto is growing and not everyone has time to day trade but I don't believe it's nearly as profitable to day trade. Obviously there's a huge learning curve when it comes to trading but you could say that about anything you're seriously getting into. Nobody ever achieved anything great by not working hard.

Thanks for the replies guys, still hunting out somewhere I can learn technical analysis, preferably with seasoned traders.

There are many ways of making money with Crypto.

Hodling is one of them, but it won't always go up in a straight line.

If you want a job in the blockchain industry you really need to be at an advanced level of programming. Then you can get hired by some bitcoin service or exchange and make decent money. Since there is a shortage of workers these days who understand the technology.

There is also mining but its very unpredictable. Also who knows when ETH will go to POS and make all POW miners out of work.

Since we can't predict how markets react in a short time so I never target for a weekly or monthly profits instead I buy and keep coins until I make a profit. For that, the best way to check is yearly profits. In this 2017 I made a lot of profits from all my crypto investments even though now markets are down. I never check my profit on a monthly basis.
