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, then 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.
