Realistic Profit Expectations
Let's talk numbers. No hype, just math.
Low Volatility Pairs
1% daily trading range
Annual returns: 3-15%
Think stable pairs like BTC/USD, ETH/USD during calm markets. Consistent, predictable accumulation. Lower risk, lower reward.
Medium Volatility Pairs
2-3% daily trading range
Annual returns: 15-30%
Most altcoin pairs fall into this category. Good balance of activity and risk. Sweet spot for most users.
High Volatility Pairs
5%+ daily trading range
Annual returns: 30-60%+
Smaller cap altcoins, new listings, market chaos. More trading rounds complete = higher profits. Also higher risk of sustained drawdowns.
Important Reality Check
- These are potential returns based on historical volatility
- Past performance does not equal guaranteed future results
- In sideways/ranging markets: Grid trading excels
- In strong trends (up or down): Results vary
- The calculator doesn't lie - it shows you what the strategy would have done over the past 60 days
