FAQ
Is compounding realistic in forex trading?›
Compounding works when you consistently risk a fixed percentage of your growing balance rather than a fixed dollar amount. Realistic monthly returns for skilled traders range from 2–8 %.
How does compounding differ from simple interest?›
Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus all accumulated gains, leading to exponential growth over time.
