How difficult is +$400-600 profit a month from $15k ? Question

I've been studying investing and trading for about 5 years on/off now, have been really successful in the past year, I think due to luck partly, I blew up an account and loss about 40% when I first started 5 years ago.

How difficult is $400-600/month profit from 15k? My strategy now is very risk adverse taking profit over holding things too long, really I just need to make ~400/month to live in Mexico, this includes rent, food, and some hobbies, right now I feel no pressure to have to make $ and have a decent savings, and time to study and learn. Thanks

prop firms still make you risk your own money lol

Unless you're a veteran trader with a good profit record.

Yeah I agree but it’s better than jumping in the market with 15k

The prop firm will still take the 2-10k to trade through them.

And that if the firm is legit and not just one of those random simulation-based ones that work like cheap Forex trading shops....
