Be SuperTaxiTruckMan: I can make 5% a month and be a millionaire by tomorrow, but I drive a burnt-out truck carrying cans to the local refund center.
Again, wrong. 5% per day compounded takes $100 to a million in less than a year. I haven't managed to achieve that daily growth rate consistently yet, however, it's my goal. I know it's possible.
And my truck is a potential million mile truck. A few examples of it have breached 1.3 million miles and still truckin' just fine. Mine is hardly broken in yet at 257k light duty miles. It's a shiny, sweet looking, rust free 30 year old antique dually truck with a screamin' macho sound with an AFE cold air intake, larger turbo downpipe and performance straight pipe exhaust, 5 speed manual, kitted to haul 20k lb gooseneck, everything fixed up and running flawlessly. It's one solid rig, the envy of my neighborhood. The resale value is worth more than the average condition similar mileage trucks that are 10 years newer.
And I have an appointment on Feb. 12 to have a tuner installed for an additional 50-140 HP and better mpg.
That's just the start. Many more performance and body upgrades to come.
This truck is being used to haul quality cargo and equipment for top dollar, pulling all sorts of trailers.

My math might not be the same as yours. Starting from $100 to reach $10K might take at least 7 years in a live Forex account. It's different with prop firm leverage—going from $100 to $10K could take just 7 months. Lel

In fact, if you compound +5% gain per trading day, starting with $100 for a year minus maybe 4 business days like Christmas and New Year's Day and 2 other holidays, you would get 256 good trading days, which actually results in $26,574,222.19.
Or if you would have 64 break-even or off (no trade) days besides the 4 holidays in that year, you would still end up with $1,170,429.94, accomplished with 192 successful +5% ROI days. If you don't take any days off, that's less than 39 5-day weeks = about 9 months. All it takes is netting about 10-11 pips EUR/USD per day at 50:1 leverage. Average daily range is so much more than that. 10 pips is just a tiny chip of the avg daily range. And if I can keep everything in the account without withdrawing, it would take only 9 months from now for $100 to reach $1.17 million. If I would consistently withdraw half the profits every day and compound the rest, it would take 18 months to reach $1.17 million in the trading account and $1.17 million in my bank account, totaling $2.34 million.
Does anybody on FF trade higher volumes on EUR/USD in the USA so that 50:1 leverage isn't allowed? At what trade size do they reduce the leverage? At $1-2 million? $5 million?

Right, you're not doing your math right. Compounding is when you immediately re-invest the profit you made in your previous trade. Say, I take $100 and make +5% ROI. Now my account balance is $105. The next day I make another +5% of the $105, which results in $110.25. Next day, add +5% to the $110.25, which is $115.76, and so on. You will double your investment in 16 trading days, quadruple in less than 32 trading days, make 22 times your investment in 64 trading days, etc. Do your math and see for yourself.
In every trade, I am only risking a loss of 4.761% of my account, but if I can place my positions strategically so the stop loss rarely gets hit, it would work. That requires patience, like lying in wait until the right moment before entering your trade. I have yet to master that. If I win the first trade, I get to take the day off. If I lose the first trade, now I must win 2 trades, which then can make me frustrated and hasty, resulting in further losses. There again, I have yet to successfully discipline myself. It's all about patience and discipline, really. Then you can end up making that 5% gain in less than an hour of trading every day and have all the rest of the day to do as you please, live the high life, work at your hobby, or like me, drive my favorite truck, whatever you want.

Thats not how money management works.
The compounding formulae out there is for fixed income, meaning a fixed and consistent income stream, which trading is not.
Also, the more money risked is not a linear function to more money gain.
With a positive market expectation trading approach (a winning strategy), the probability that you will fall behind the geometric mean growth is very very high, but also chances are high that you will end your month way bigger than what you have started with.

That left to say, instead of focusing onto compounding, focus on putting on quality trade. Which makes the $$$ flows in.

So, the buck stops here. My net equity is $200.18. I set my stop loss for -4.761% which would result in an account balance of $190.65.
My TP is set for +5%, resulting in $210.19.
So, let's see which gets hit first.
I would prefer to withdraw half the profit after achieving +5% ROI for the day, and keep doing that every day. That would result in a steady, parabolic stream of income every day.
If I would trade successfully at +5% per day from here on out, and withdraw half that profit every day, I would reach $1,073,340.02 in both my trading account and bank account, totaling $2,146,479.85 in 352 trading days, which, if you figure some holidays in, would be 71-72 weeks = almost 17 months.
At that point, my daily withdrawal would be $26,833.50, which is about my current gross income for 4 months from my private self employed taxi and hauling business.
Again, the big question is, can I maintain such consistency and discipline???
It's not impossible, but it would be a real challenge.

Checking pa , both legs up so far in similar pattern , just minimum correct and bounce ! Last leg up if c wave then bull by only breaks previous high 2549 and can very strong impulse up if doing so, while unable impulse up as such strong better top failure at 2249 ! Overall it is undecided , so to see inside ranges in smaller tf !
In smaller tf , breaks 2440 may need correct towards 2380 .

You just wrote a whole bunch of illiterate jargon, dude. I have no idea what you said there.
I am what you could call an amateur math whiz and I am 100% sure that my math is 100% correct. This growth I projected from compounding is exactly correct. The only question is, though, is Oanda (my current broker) going to allow such parabolic growth? And at what point will they force me to trade at a lower leverage? Once my trade size reaches a $1 million, they will have to front $50 million to cover it. Once it gets to a certain size, they will reduce the leverage to 33:1, then 25:1, then 10:1. But at what trade size? It's in the paperwork. I can find it. But I want to hear from others who trade such large amounts.

From strategy statistics, we can determine the profit or loss range from negative to positive. With a 57% win rate, it ranges from -7% to 7%. With a 67% win rate, it could be from -3% to 9%. That’s just math, sir, not compounding. It’s an old psychological approach (compounding hope math) with unclear accuracy, and maybe useful for lulling investors to sleep, especially in the stock market world.

Richard Dennis once achieved a 120% annual compounding return during his peak period. However, he later failed to sustain his success and eventually retired due to continuous losses.

Sir, just aim for a maximum profit of 6% per month, and if you can achieve that consistently from a $100K account, you would already be among the greatest currency traders in the world. On average, even veteran traders can only manage around 3%. Lel
