Weekly and Monthly Performance
One of the biggest game changers in trading is consistently tracking your weekly and monthly performance. When you combine that with clear, realistic targets and the discipline to control your greed, you’ll be on the right path quickly.
Clarity, structure, and emotional control are what separate real traders from the gamblers.
So what is a realistic goal?
Think about it: The average fund offers around a 10% annual return. The better-performing ones, which actively trade, might reach 30–50%.
The very best, the elite traders sometimes hit 100% annually, but only after years of experience, refinement, and usually as part of a sophisticated team where each member brings a unique edge.
Now ask yourself this: If some of the brightest minds in finance, with decades of experience and full-time resources, are producing those kinds of returns, how likely is it that the average shitcoiner is going to outperform them on a weekly or monthly basis?
Exactly — the odds are basically zero.
Sure, there are outliers. Some people hit it big. But they’re often just lucky lottery winners, and most can’t replicate their success. There’s nothing to learn from that. No process. No edge. Just noise.
These stories sell dreams — dreams of getting rich quick — and they lure people into throwing their life savings into hot air.
But real traders know better. They know it’s not about the quick win. It’s about sustainable, repeatable performance. With discipline and patience.
So what’s the smarter strategy here?
I’d argue that setting realistic targets is by far the better approach and something every serious trader should be doing.
Personally, I aim for around 10% per month on my trading accounts. That breaks down to about 2.5% per week. At first glance, that might not sound like much — but everything depends on the size you’re trading.
For example, if you're managing a $100K account, that’s $2.5K a week or $10K a month. That’s solid performance and for many, more than enough to live well.
It's not flashy, it’s not “get rich overnight,” but it’s consistent, sustainable, and most importantly — replicable. And that’s what real trading is all about.
Of course, I don’t always hit my targets on every account, but more often than not, I come close.
And when I combine that with some well-timed spot investments, it adds up to a pretty solid income.
Some weeks or months, I give a bit back to the market, that’s part of the game. But when I zoom out and look at the bigger picture, I’m genuinely happy with my overall performance.
The power of having these “small” weekly or monthly targets lies in their achievability.
If you aim for 2% a week, it’s realistic and you can build real momentum through consistency. Compare that to throwing your entire life savings at one position hoping for 1000%… the odds are basically zero.
One is sustainable. The other is a gamble dressed as ambition.
2.5% really isn’t much when you think about it.
If I take a position with 1% risk, that’s just 2.5R realised and with solid TA and no greed, that’s very achievable.
When you operate with realistic targets, your mindset shifts. You find yourself saying things like:
“Ah, I’ll take that 2% and go have a nice dinner,”
instead of,
“If Fartcoin reaches the market cap of Bitcoin, I can finally buy my third helicopter.”
That kind of grounded attitude is what lets you extract from the market week after week, month after month.
Consistency > Fantasy. Every time.
If you can consistently achieve 100% per year, you’re among the top traders in the world. And here’s the kicker: That kind of performance turns a $10K account into $1.28 million in just seven years.
Show me another profession where you can generate that kind of return with a similar time and focus investment + freedom of space. There aren’t many.
That’s the power of consistency, compounding, and real skill over hype.
If you need $2.5K a month to live, you can make that through trading with a $25K account, as long as you manage to pull 10% a month. Of course, having a bigger cushion is ideal, but that’s not the point.
The point is this: If you stop chasing unrealistic targets and spend just 15 minutes thinking through the actual math, your life and trading will start to make sense.
Clarity kills delusion and once you understand the numbers, everything changes.
The big traders I mentioned earlier often operate with massive sums and that comes with its own challenges. It usually requires licenses, special connections, and a whole different skill set, because once you reach a certain size, you start moving the market.
But for us small, un-greedy fish, that’s our biggest strength. We can enter and exit “full-size” in almost any market without leaving a trace. Use that to your advantage.
Set realistic targets. Stay nimble. And drain the market consistently: Week by Week, Month by Month and Year by Year.

Pump.fun reopens livestreams to 5% of users after moderation overhaul
Solana memecoin platform Pump.fun has revived its live streaming feature, five months after pulling the plug over disturbing misuse.
According to the platform’s co-founder Alon Cohen , the feature has returned with stronger moderation tools and “transparent guidelines” in place. For now, it’s only available to 5% of users as part of a limited rollout to test the revamped system.
In its new moderation policy , Pump.fun said it’s aiming to strike a balance between creativity and safety with the goal of cultivating a social environment on the platform that “preserves creativity and freedom of expression and encourages meaningful engagement amongst users, free of illegal, harmful, and negative interactions.”
The guidelines encourage open expression but crack down on illegal, harmful, or otherwise inappropriate content. That includes bans on violence, animal abuse, pornography, and anything endangering minors. Repeat or severe violations could result in account termination.
The platform also reserves the right to make judgment calls on content when necessary, noting that some NSFW material might still appear but will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis using both automated and human moderation tools.
The livestream feature was originally pulled in November 2024 after a string of disturbing incidents shook the community .
Users had begun using livestreams to make shocking threats, including one case where a user allegedly shared a video appearing to take their own life after their token failed to hit a market cap target.
The fallout was immediate. Crypto users, influencers, and safety advocates slammed the platform for not doing enough to prevent harm after Beau, a safety product manager at Pudgy Penguins, brought attention to the aforementioned incident and criticized the platform on X.
Hey @pumpdotfun there is currently someone using your livestreams to threaten to hang themselves if the coin does not reach a set marketcap. Absolutely heinous and It needs to come down + see if you can get them help. Shut down the livestream feature. This is out of control.
In response, Pump.fun issued a community message acknowledging the damage, expressing regret, and outlining new steps to address moderation gaps. They doubled the number of human moderators, introduced smarter automated filters, and added support resources for viewers impacted by the livestreams.
Now, with a cautious relaunch and new safeguards in place, Pump.fun says it’s committed to rebuilding trust while giving creators a safe space to connect with their audience.
Many in the community praised Pump.fun’s revised approach and expressed optimism about its future role in memecoin activity. See below.
happy to see this back and strong rollout based on learnings. looking forward to see round 2!
The latest rollout comes as Pump.fun struggles to regain momentum following a sharp drop in revenue and user engagement . As previously reported by crypto.news, the platform’s daily fees recently hit a four-month low, with data showing a 94% drop since January.
Much of the slowdown has been linked to a fading memecoin frenzy that has cooled significantly since January.
