Risk Warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. These products may not be suitable for all investors. It is important to fully understand the risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary.

What Is Compounding?
Compounding is the practice of reinvesting trading profits into the position size of subsequent trades, so gains are earned on an increasingly larger base rather than withdrawn or left idle. Applied consistently, a fixed percentage return per period produces exponential rather than linear account growth — a difference that becomes significant over dozens or hundreds of periods, even at modest per-period rates.
The tradeoff is that compounding scales losses the same way it scales gains, since position sizing is usually tied to account balance — a losing streak shrinks the base that future trades are sized from. This calculator projects a compounding path from a starting balance, an assumed return per period, and a number of periods, so you can see how sensitive the outcome is to each assumption.
This calculator is for educational and illustrative purposes only — it assumes a constant return every period, which real trading results rarely provide.
