Compounding calculator

What a steady return, reinvested, does to a balance over time.

How it is worked out

Each period the balance grows by the rate, then the addition is made. Real trading returns are never steady; use the risk of ruin simulator to see the range.

Questions

Is 1% a day realistic?

1% per trading day compounds to about 1,200% a year. Almost no one sustains that; treat such targets with suspicion.
