What is Compound Growth?
Compound growth means your profits generate their own profits. A 5% monthly return doesn't just add 60% per year — it compounds to 79.6% because each month's gain is calculated on an ever-growing balance.
Compounding means each month's gain is calculated on the new, larger balance. A $10,000 account growing at 5% monthly becomes $33,864 after 2 years without any additional deposits.
The key is consistency. Even small consistent gains compound dramatically over time, which is why professional traders focus on steady returns rather than home-run trades.

Frequently Asked Questions
5% monthly is achievable but challenging. Many successful traders average 3-8% monthly. The key is consistency — even 3% monthly compounds to impressive figures over years.
It depends on your goals. Full reinvestment maximizes compounding, but withdrawing some profits reduces risk and provides income. Many traders withdraw 30-50% and reinvest the rest.
That's the power of compounding. Early months show linear-looking growth, but as your balance grows, the same percentage generates increasingly larger dollar amounts.
