I see a lot of coaches with a lot of calculators preaching the power of compounding using the formula for 1% per day. While compound interest is certainly a powerful thing, is 1% per day a realistic aspiration? There are definitely traders out there who average 1% per day in their returns but I'd be lying to you if I said that most profitable traders are growing their account consistently with this number. It makes a great sales script, but it doesn't factor in things like flat days, drawdowns, losses, etc. and EVERY trader faces those. But..what if I told you that 1% should still be your daily goal...just not how you think... What if instead of a random monetary goal that isn't based on charts, you decided to grow PERSONALLY by 1% per day. I'm talking about growing as a trader and watching your returns increase substantially. Here are a few ways to grow as a trader: 1. Always Keep Learning - Watch the course - Watch the bonus content as you level up - Attend the Master Trader Workshop series Small steps lead to big growth over time. 2. Process in Community - Post regularly your questions - Answer other people's questions - Engage meaningfully with 2-3 posts each week. Building lifelong friendships who share your passion for trading will help you in more ways than you know. 3. Journal, Journal, Journal - Every Setup, ticker, and trade - Review your journal each week to see where you can improve - Backtest your adjustments from your reviewing Progress, not perfection is the goal. 4. Personal Health - Practice gratitude regularly - Get a hobby that keeps you away from the screen - Revisit your "why" behind trading on a consistent basis You can't improve from an empty cup. You can't be guaranteed 1% per day in profits but if you commit to growing personally by 1% per day then your profits will follow and they'll eventually be more than you ever thought possible. Compounding is real and it works in more than just finances.
