i'm up 30% ROI for the week
who else trades forex here?
30% for the week eh?
People here are incredibly gullible. It's scary that some of the folks here are considering spending their savings on forex when they can't even do some simple maths.
Let's calculate the compounding returns at 30% per week on an initial value of $100.
It's a simple calculation.
Initial_Deposit * (1+(Weekly_roi/100))^^num_weeks
After 1 week $100 turns into $130
After 2 weeks that $130 turns into $169
After 3 weeks that $169 turns into $219.7
After 4 weeks that $219.7 turns into $285.61
Using the formula: 100 * (1+(30/100))^^4 = 100 * (1 + 0.3)^^4 = 100 * 1.3^^4 = 100 * 2.8561 = 285.61
Got that?
Now let's see what his $100 is worth after a year.
100 * (1+(30/100))^^52 = 100 * (1 + 0.3)^^52 = 100 * 1.3^^52 = 100 * 841500.39 = 84150039
That's $84,150,039. A cool $84 million. He's doing well.
How about after 2 years?
$7,081,229,010,429,914
Pretty sweet. He's now worth 8 quadtrillion dollars. He's now the wealthiest man in history and has more wealth than the entire world put together more than 10 times over.
I can see why he gave up IM.
