Here's a simple calc utilizing a 250k starting account:

Hope I get this right:

$250,000 x 25% = $62,500 return
for 12 days (using 25% instead of 28% return value to be conservative)

1.8 x 12 days = 21.6 days of trading in a month
(using the number 1.8 to approx. number of trading days in a given month)

so...

1.8 x $62,500 = $112,500 profit per trading month

To be conservative: let's call it $100k per month profit -
$100,000 x 12 = $1.2 mil per year on a $250k account

This doesn't account for the possible rollover of profits back into the trading system or the removal of profits for operational costs so there is a potential for this number to go up or down.

There are many ways you can look at this percentage return and this is just one estimate. I only have a 12 day statistic to work off of to make this estimate so I hope you can follow my logic. Please post your own estimates if you think mine are way off base or if I missed something in my calcs. My brain is a bit fried after work so I could have really screwed this up in some way. lol
