My goal is (at some point) to AVERAGE a $200.00 to $300.00 per day profit. (I know that I will lose at times) My plan is to leave a minimum of 25% of all gains in my account. The friend who introduced me to Forex said not to play with real money until doubling my practice account. I plan to wait until I've tripled it.

My question is: Are these realistic/attainable goals? and if so, how long should I expect it to take? (I know this depends on a lot of variables, I'm just looking for ballpark estimates based on real life experience.) By the way, I plan on opening my first account as a micro with $1000.00
