As with everything, no calculations that are somewhat subjective can be perfect. It does give a relatively realistic starting point though. I should work on making some sort of calculations with historical monthly data but I think that's outside my reach. In any event, glad you enjoyed it and good luck! NOT:

Regardless of whether or not your percentage returns are the right goals, I'm just happy to see this topic discussed. I've been thinking about the same question and was hoping the intitial capital would be significantly less if I was adhering to a disciplined trading plan. But, now see that even with discipline and a good plan, I'll need a decent amount of capital. I just wanted to thank you for posting this analysis.

I'm barely in the second tax bracket as a graduate student hah. I'm sure there are ways to get around the 35% bracket though. When it comes to that bridge, I'll figure out a way to cross it.
