Earnings Schedule- The Power of Compound Interest

For every trade you should have determined your entry and exits PRIOR to placing an order.  Here is a spreadsheet that can help you stay on course.  Take a moment to glance at each column and you'll quickly understand how it is formatted.  This spreadsheet is based on the compound interest formula and illustrates the power of exponential growth.  The first column represents 'N' number of periods- in this case, a per trade basis.  This 'N' number of periods for you can be per day, per week, per month, etc.  After 258 trades (or N number of periods), in this example, an account goes from $1 to $998009.29 at a rate of 5.5% growth per trade.  The percentage variable is located in column L and can be set at any percentage you like.  Gains are gradual and you control the rate of how fast or slow your portfolio will grow.  The power to manage the growth of your own money is more rewarding than what any bank CD or savings program can offer.  Be patient and disciplined and you will achieve the success you desire.  Download the earnings schedule here:
