Gold Compounding Calculator
Project how a XAUUSD account grows when you risk a fixed percentage per trade. Enter your balance, risk, win rate and average R — the projection updates instantly.
Quick answer: compounding grows a trading account by risking a fixed percentage of the current balance on every trade. A system winning 60% of trades at +2R average wins and -1R average losses, risking 1% per trade, grows a $1,000 account by roughly 0.8% per trade on average — about +122% over 100 trades.

Projection assumes your averages hold and applies them evenly. Real sequences of wins and losses are uneven — size so you can survive the drawdowns.
Why fixed-percentage risk beats fixed-lot risk on Gold
Gold's volatility means a fixed lot size risks a wildly different percentage of your account as the balance moves. Fixed-percentage risk keeps every trade identical in account terms: a 1% risk is 1% whether the account is $500 or $50,000. Pair this tool with the Gold position size calculator to turn your chosen risk percentage into an exact lot size, and the pip calculator to convert stops into money.
