Is 5% Monthly Realistic in Forex Trading?

[Chloe27]

Hello traders ,

I’ve been thinking a lot about performance expectations in forex trading, and a question keeps coming up everywhere: Is 5% per month realistic?
We see claims all the time, from social media, trading courses, EA sales pages, and even some funded accounts, but is this kind of return something that can be consistently achieved without blowing up your account? Here’s what I found so far from various sources and forum discussions, and I’d love to hear your real-world experience too:

hey chloe........ it would be a very unique individual that could make 5% per month consistently......

for most of us, a realistic return might be 2% maybe ...... 3% would be a stretch.....

5% will take tremendous self control and Olympics' type ambition......h
