Rate of return will vary greatly depending on your trade style and account size. I don't know what the benchmark is, but I personally consider 1% monthly growth to be very manageable with short options, not including any other income like dividends and interest on currency positions.

Benchmark in the sense what is a common baseline to compare with, e.g. most people use the yearly average S&P500 returns, or maybe the ytd return. Some people are happy when they beat the SPX even if they are still in the red.
