What kinds of returns are achievable with Forex?
I get asked quite a lot about what sort of returns are achievable trading Forex.
So, I thought I’d share the ‘Trader of the Month’ results with you.
Let me remind you, that while some of the returns from the ‘Trader of the Month’ (and for that matter what many Forex Traders are achieving) are quite spectacular, the winner isn’t necessarily picked for the biggest return on investment.
But rather their overall strategy, those well risked and general improvement in the trading skills that will see them making money and building their wealth over the long term.
One such trader that stood out for their Risk Vs. Reward ratio is Karina Banhuk who achieved a very respectable 5.01% Return On Investment in September.
Some other honourable mentions go to…
- Arunas Blandis (NSW) who achieved 24.06% ROI for his first month of trading live!
- Peter Drew (QLD) was so close to 100% ROI with his 85.46% ROI for September.
- Bruce Annandale (NZ) achieved 14.37% ROI for the month.
- Stephen Mountford (WA) increased his account by 16.21% ROI in September.
- and another special shout out to Grant Barnett (LTG GoldRock) who achieved 9% ROI for September, adding to his 8% ROI from August.

Are You Our Next Trader of the Month?
Well it’s the time of the month that I don’t mind getting so many emails… yes it’s our Trader of the Month search.
Thank-you to everyone who has sent in their Trader of the Month entry, so far we have had some very ‘Well Risked’ accounts which are my favorite entries.
I did want to clear up some mis-conceptions about the Trader of the Month competition though…
Rule #1: You must be trading a live real money Forex Trading account. – Although results in demo are great to see unfortunately it’s just not the same as the emotions involved in trading real money.
Rule #2: There is no limit on the size of your Trading Account. – Whether you are trading $150 or $50,000 you can enter the search for our next Trader of the Month.
Rule #3: We look at your ROI% and how well you have implemented a Risk vs. Reward strategy – eg. If you increased your $500 Trading Account by $100 last month you achieved a ROI% of 20%. If you increased your $20,000 account by $1,000 you achieved 5% ROI.
Rule #4: All LTG GoldRock members are eligible to enter – all we ask is that you share your Trading Story with our Online Community. If you want to send us a video for LTGGoldRock.TV, send through a short summary about what your favourite trades are or perhaps why you love forex trading…. we want to share your success with others to provide motivation and an insight into your trading journey.
So Ask Yourself the following questions….
Did your Trading Account finish positive last month? Have you worked out your overall Return On Investment for the month?
