The MoneyTec survey on 2002 trading successes made me think.

I have seen various stats on trading success rates which claim that only 20% of traders actually make money and that the other 80% eventually turn to something else. I can well believe that given my 6 months trading experiences.

I would like to hear the views of the many experienced traders on the forum .... What is a reasonable expectation for return on investment, assuming a few basics such as:

Dilligence in self education.
Developing the required discipline.
One year full time experience
$10,000 starting equity.

What should one expect after one year?
What would be reasonable?
What would be outstanding?
