How is daily or per-trade compound interest calculated?

Each period's profit is reinvested into your principal balance using the formula Final Balance = Principal × (1 + Rate)^Periods. You can also include recurring monthly deposits and tax/fee deductions in Pro Options.

Compound interest reinvests your trading profits or dividend payouts so your gains generate their own gains — creating an exponential Snowball Effect. Simulate daily day-trading compounding, monthly S&P 500 / Nasdaq ETF DCA contributions, or reverse-engineer how many trades it takes to grow $10,000 into $100,000 or $1,000,000.

📊 1. Number of Compounding Periods Required to Double (2x), 5x, and 10x Your Portfolio

By the Rule of 72 (72 ÷ Return % = Periods to Double), even a small edge in per-trade or monthly return dramatically accelerates wealth creation.

Return / Period	+1%	+2%	+3%	+5%	+7%	+10%
2x (100% Gain)	70	35	24	15	11	8
5x (400% Gain)	162	82	55	33	24	17
10x ($10K → $100K)	232	117	78	48	34	25

Q. What is the difference between Lump-Sum Compounding and Recurring DCA Compounding?

Lump-sum compounding grows an initial starting balance without new deposits, while recurring DCA compounding adds a fixed amount every month or period. Open [⚙️ Pro Options] above to add recurring deposits and model after-tax/after-fee net compounding.
