Scaling Up: The Magic of Compounding Profits
Albert Einstein called compound interest the "eighth wonder of the world." In trading, it is the secret to turning a small account into a fortune.
The Math of Consistency
Most beginners try to double their account in a month. They over-leverage, take huge risks, and inevitably blow up. But what if you aimed for just 1% a day?
If you start with $5,000 and make 1% net profit per day, in 250 trading days (one year), you wouldn't have $17,500 (simple interest). You would have roughly $60,000.
How We Scale at YMI
We use a systematic scaling plan. We don't just "feel" like trading bigger. We earn the right to trade bigger.
- Step 1: Trade 1 Micro contract until you have a $1,000 profit buffer.
- Step 2: Increase to 2 Micros.
- Step 3: Once the buffer grows to $5,000, consider switching to 1 Mini contract.
This ensures that you are never risking your initial principal on larger size. You are risking the market's money.
