The difficulty in this type of hypothetical calculation is that, it doesn't pay attention to an important facet: distribution of the yields.
First I like your quote: Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest, Benjamin Franklin

Yes, I have to say, I also started with those crazy calculations some years back... meaning that I would attempt to train the market so that the market would give me a calculable daily yield....
It doesnt work this way...
you'll never be able to trade in a way that is consistent... you have to get an adaptable egy....
To have say 1 percent everyday isn't adaptable, because the market might give you -2% each day, and 5% still another.... You need to accommodate....
If you set these rigid goals you're endangering your adapting abilities...

Its okay to get daily or weekly or monthly goals... but they should just be a guideline... Something like a trendline if you want... Why not use trendlines in your own moneymanagement? Then you see whenever you have a drastic downtrend... lol

NEVER EVER attempt to force something on the market... significance:

I have to receive 1 percent to achieve my daily target, the market must give me it , thats why I open this position here, blabla...

OrWell, I have already got my daily X% so I will shut my position now.

This is wrong thinking.
