Depends on your spending habits and the cost of living in your location.
30 points per day (very achievable) X HKD 50 per point X 2 full Hantu index futures contracts X 2 days (hopefully mornings only) per week X 4 weeks per month = HKD 24,000 per month = roughly MYR 12,000 per month =
roughly SGD 4,000 per month = 20% monthly rate of return based on capital employed as calculated below
Capital required = Initial margin HKD 30,000 (presently exchange only requires HKD 27,200) X 4 contracts (just in case some days you want to have larger positions for higher probability trades) = HKD 120,000 = roughly MYR 60,000 =
roughly SGD 20,000
Remainder of capital put in real estate, fixed deposits, bonds, stocks whatever.
Expand to S&P mini and others as backup for periods when you are not free during regular trading hours on weekdays.

Rental MYR 2,000 + (MYR 200 daily X 30) = MYR 8,000 per month with MYR 4,000 to spare.
Concentrate on setups that work best in the morning with backup setups for late afternoon (starting 2.30 pm) just in case some days morning not free

Reliable internet connection is a MUST. Cheap and good char kway teow nearby is a bonus. Swimming pool is totally unnecessary.
