Projected Growth
Compound trading growth shows how reinvesting profits accelerates account growth.
Final Equity = Starting Capital × (1 + Return per Trade)^(Total Trades)
Monthly compounding:
Monthly Equity = Capital × (1 + Return per Trade / 100)^(Trades per Month)
The power of compounding in trading:
- $10,000 at 1% per trade, 20 trades/month = $26,870 after 6 months
- $10,000 at 0.5% per trade, 20 trades/month = $18,167 after 6 months
- $10,000 at 2% per trade, 20 trades/month = $108,366 after 6 months
Reality check:
- These projections assume every trade wins at the stated rate — real trading has variance
- Drawdowns reset compounding progress significantly
- A 50% drawdown requires a 100% gain to recover
- Use conservative estimates (net expectancy per trade, not gross)
- Account for commissions, slippage, and taxes in your return estimate
