See how steady, consistent returns snowball a trading account over time. Set your starting balance, the gain you expect per period, and any regular deposits — and watch the balance compound.
Compounding is what happens when you reinvest your profits instead of withdrawing them. Each period's return is calculated on a balance that already includes previous gains, so growth accelerates over time. A steady 5% per month is not 60% a year — compounded, it's closer to 80%, because every month builds on the last.
The flip side matters just as much: compounding only works while you protect your capital. A run of losses compounds against you, which is why position sizing and risk control are the foundation that makes long-term compounding possible. Use the lot size calculator to keep per-trade risk small and consistent.
This tool assumes the same return every single period, which never happens in live trading. Treat the projection as a planning and motivation aid, not a forecast. Smaller, conservative assumptions are far closer to what disciplined traders actually achieve.
