Understanding Compound Growth
What is Compounding?
Compounding is earning returns on your previous returns. In trading, it means reinvesting profits to grow your account exponentially over time.
Time & Patience
Compound growth requires time. Small consistent returns compound into significant wealth. Patience and consistency are key to success.
Risk Management
Protect your capital. One large loss can destroy months of compound gains. Never risk more than 1-2% per trade.
Realistic Expectations
Professional traders average 10-30% annually. Monthly returns above 5% are challenging to sustain. Set realistic, achievable goals.
