Historical returns are about 12%? When I am making more than that, I feel like I got a good result.

I am not a market expert by any means but it seems to me how much you have in the market depends on many things.
1. What is your overall net worth. If your total net worth is 300K and that's what you have in the market, thats too much. On the other hand if your total net worth is 3mil and you have 300k in the market, maybe not enough?
2. What is your expertise? What do you know and love? What do you feel comfortable investing in?
We have tried to diversify our net worth but because we are not very versed in the market we have only a small investment % of our net worth in that area.
BTW I think a 20% return is outstanding, if you were not activly chasing trades.

A professional trader (day trader) needs at least (absolute minimum) $100k to start. It helps to have buying power to leverage your $100k. The more the better. It also helps to have other income streams to offset the stress to support yourself with fulltime trading.
