Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world?Contrary to belief, trading has never been and never will be a get rich quick scheme. I hope that’s something we can all agree on? It is a get rich slowly scheme. What’s the main factor to this, well you still can get rich!
Trading is about planting the seeds, watering them, caring for them and nurturing something small until it eventually grows into an entire forest. The biggest mistake traders make is chasing instant gratification.
Compound in trading starts with small consistent gains that don’t look exciting to begin with. But over time they snowball into something extraordinary. Albert Einstein called compound interest the eighth wonder of the world for a reason. Patience transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
If you have an initial account balance of $5,000
At 5% monthly:
3 years → $28,959
5 years → $93,395
10 years → $1,744,599 (1.74 million)
At 10% monthly (aggressive, but for illustration):
3 year → $154,463
5 years → $1,522,408 (1.52 million)
10 years → $463,545,344 (463.5 million)
That’s the power of patience. The difference isn’t the amount you start with, it’s the time you allow for your money to grow. Most traders lose because they want results overnight. Let compound interest do the work for you. Use Einstein’s eighth wonder of the world!
