<p id="isPasted">Compound money management (CMM) involves reinvesting a portion of your profits back into your trading capital, which allows your account to grow exponentially over time. The primary advice is to always calculate your position size based on a fixed percentage of your current, evolving account balance, rather than a fixed dollar amount or fixed lot size.</p><p><strong>Core Principles of Compound Money Management</strong></p><ul><li>Risk a Fixed Percentage of Capital: The most crucial rule is to determine a small, fixed percentage (commonly 1% to 2%) of your total account balance to risk on any single trade.</li><li>Position Sizing is Dynamic: As your account balance grows with profits, the monetary value of that 1% or 2% risk increases, so your position size also increases for the next trade. This creates the compounding effect. Conversely, if your account shrinks due to losses, your position size decreases, helping protect capital during drawdowns.</li><li>Consistency is Key: The magic of compounding only works if you are consistent with your risk parameters and disciplined in following your trading plan.</li><li>Focus on the Long-Term: CMM is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a long-term strategy that builds wealth slowly and steadily. Patience is essential.</li></ul><p><strong>Practical Steps for Implementation</strong></p><ul><li>Determine Your Risk Percentage: Decide on a percentage you are comfortable with (e.g., 1.5%).</li><li>Calculate the Monetary Risk: For each new trade, calculate the dollar amount you are risking:</li><li><em>Example</em>: If your account is $10,000 and your risk percentage is 1%, you risk $100 per trade.</li><li>Determine Your Stop-Loss Distance: Identify the number of pips or points from your entry price to your stop-loss price.</li><li>Calculate Position Size: Divide the monetary risk by the value per pip/point (adjusted for your stop-loss distance) to determine the exact lot size for that specific trade.</li><li>Re-evaluate at Intervals: Regularly recalculate your risk parameters based on your current account balance (e.g., at the start of each trading day or week).</li></ul><p><br></p><p id="isPasted">An Example of Compounding Growth</p><p><br></p><p> Trade Starting Risk Position Size Result New Balance</p><p> # Balance (1%) (Example)</p><table data-animation-nesting="" data-complete="true" data-sae="" style="border: none;
