Would be interested to know a bit more about your methods. I'm not looking for "proof" of your returns or examples of trades etc- nothing like that. Just a brief description of what you trade, type of trading, no of trades per month, amount risked per trade, % winners, rough r:r - that sort of thing.
For the record, my trading history doesn't go back a full year yet, but over 8 months, my return has been 81% which is an average 7.7% per month compound. This has been on a part time basis, trades being over a few days at a time, trading several fx pairs.
Ave number of trades per month is approx 10. I have tweaked my style a fair bit since I started and now have about 55% win rate with average risk:reward of about 1:2. I am now looking to average 10% per month compound which I have for the last couple of months. Currently using 3% risk per trade, but taking measures to reduce that to 2.25%, without reducing the reward side (increasing r:r to c 1:2.6- thats my plan anyway).
I am still working with a relatively small capital base but building up, so returns will be compounded if all goes to plan. I would like to go full time and I think I could use a similar strategy intraday, but with more trades and hence a higher average profit per month. This is why I am interested to hear more about your style, method etc.
