This is a Scale Plan, so making big returns per week/month is not a goal. Slowly Scaling my capital is the goal, achieving consistent and compounded returns.

If the target is met early on, I give myself 2 Options:
1. Take a break and reward myself. Work on other projects and keep monitoring the market.
2. Keep trading, but reduce my risk to lock in the monthly profit. Make sure I finish positive. Stay Disciplined.
Compounding Calculator:
8% Compounded every month is 151% per year!
And 534% in the second year!
And 1500% in the third year, without any deposits.
