Is 1% Per Day Realistic?

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:

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.

You don't need to be perfect, just 1% better tomorrow.

What's one step you will take to improve today?
