Topic: Help me to calculate my trading profit (Read 154 times)

My arithmetic skills are very bad for other people to practice and even for me it doesn't work well if I use them.
With Bitcoin, I don't trade and I don't use the science of calculating profit percentages on Bitcoin because I know Bitcoin is a profitable asset from many aspects. I invest in Bitcoin long term. If I buy today with capital of $1,000 USD, then I will make a large percentage profit when the price doubles from the current price.

Calculations on coins other than Bitcoin, I'm not good at calculating.

Your calculation is all about profit. I did not see anywhere you counted risk and loss that is weakness of your calculation. I am really sure that you will not be able to win month by month and here your target is 30% weekly profit, that equals to 120% monthly profit.

Your target is very high that will force you to be greedy and try to find many chances from the market for your trading. Over trading like this will make you more careless with your trading decisions then losses will find you. Eventually you will no longer get 30% weekly profit but might lose very big with initial capital and all profit you accumulate previous months.

Trading means you have to know when to don't trade, when to exit the market to accept a draw or a small loss from your open positions.

Don't make your calculation like you are assuming that this would really happen. Remember that the market is volatile and so the profit will vary depending on the market situation as well. I suggest you to have a weekly target and try it to work in a month, then make use of it as your base of calculation. Because it was not right to assume that this would be our profit if we already did not know the results of our weekly trader (and profit). Many traders have been disappointed because they overthink that all of their trading results will be like this, yet the results are too far.

How easy it is to say, but I wish it was true. I have never heard about any traders who claims that I always make profit in trading. 30% weekly means you will dive into volatile coins where losing risk is also high. I am afraid that if you don't have complete knowledge, your portfolio may go down by 80%.


I used chatgpt for calculating you profit as i not too good in calculation of formula and here is results

This is a common problem. People are only thinking about how can they be wealthy but they disregard the obstacles. Being wealthy isn't easy but it's a rough road. So if you won't prepare about that, you will get shocked and you will fail easily on your journey. This was still an experience (a negative one) and it's up to them if they will use it to try again and improve their selves.

If we trade modestly our emotions are stable and we are not concerned of checking it but if it was when we trade recklessly is the one that can give us a curiosity and a feeling of worry, so we will end up checking it, which is great than just ignoring it because it can lead for us to crash soon.

If in trading, there was a definite calculation of how much profit you could get, many people would enter the market and trade. But unfortunately, calculations are just calculations. You won't be able to get the same results from that calculation. You have to think about the changing situation in the market.

By using $1000, you can get bigger profits. But it will depend on your trading skills. You cannot expect to make big profits if the market is not moving well. Instead of just calculating how much profit you can get, you should learn how to trade well. It can give you the opportunity to profit from many coins.

You can ask for more advice from your friends who are experts in trading. You can also ask him to teach you how to trade well so that you don't depend on anyone. So what is important is how you can master good trading skills.

Experience is key in every sector in life, brother if you really want something from me, I would advice you too calculate your lose first before you calculate your profit, in other ways trade with what you can afford to lose, so that your emotions can be in check, secondly the market is very hostile to people that trades with emotions, that's why am telling you that you should  be more concerned about your losses before you calculate your profit, thank you.

It's good that you have a professional friend who can tell you which coins you should buy. But it seems to me that his advice will not be enough for you to make a profit, since you do not even have the minimum knowledge for trading and your ability to count profits will not help you in this. You shouldn't spend so much time on math, focus your efforts on learning how to trade.

I don't get it ...i  mean this is how i do
I have 100$ to start and i use 30% of 100$ make everyweek 30% profit then i Will invest 30% next Week aswell from the total money i don't cash out nothing so in one Week i make 30$
Then 130 $ so i need to calculate 30% of 130$ then i need to calculate 30% profit from that + 130$ so then i get my 2 weeks total amount.

I can Do when i check If coins are high or up If coin down i'll entry bit bigger % but once i have entry i'll buy only with 2-3% so i'll be like "little sideways trading buying whale" more in very extreme good situation i'll buy with 5% but i been told once you bought in the coin never go over 5%
This method been told to me by someone who's very pro in trading he only trade spot Market and he living from trading and he did not asking me any fees just told to me hows right to do it and always follow the monthly low or monthly high.

My trading pro friend told me to use only known coins ltc SOL eth xlm xrp are best and always one coin at the time maximum 2 coins in Week but it depends how fast Market moves
If i detect monthly low range i can invest even the 20-30% right to way.
So If the coin is monthly high range i'll buy in 5% -10% only with 100 capital it Will be 5$ - 10$ and then i'll be "sideways accumalation buiying little whale" If coin Fall little more then i'll buy 2-3% of 100$ in this case If Market stays lower or sideways i'll be like little smooth secret whale who accumalate coins bit by bit.

While others are giving the OPs exact calculation for the possible profit he'll take in compounding his capital in trading. I wonder why he needs it from other people, I mean it is obvious that you'll get added interest or profit from the capital if you compound it. It is giving me a bumps, and it is absurd that you are a trader and don't know this one. On top of that, it is so hard to get consistent gains in trading, you will get wrekt if you think of that in the beginning. If you are a newbie, try to experience things out, don't plan ahead, I'm not saying that its bad but realistically speaking no one can attain to have a non-losing trade in a year!

He probably speaking about staking 

These are just your desires, which are far from reality. And I doubt that you will be able to increase your balance by 30% every month, especially since you can't even calculate the final result yourself. In my opinion, if your balance turns out to be positive after a year, then this will already be an excellent result of your trading.

i agree with you profit should not be calculated so easily in trading, even sometime you can't profit in a month,
because we don't know the future of crypto market can dump in a minute, so no guarantee to make profit in regular trading,
300$ profit in every week against 1000$ it's too difficult.

it's not a guarantee, mate, compounding looks awesome if the market is on an uptrend every other week but in trading expect some loses to due to the downtrend. What if Bitcoin decides to drop back to 15K from today and stay in that range for 6 months, will your startegy still work?

Also think about the trading fees

Regardless of how much capital you use for trading with an assumed profit target of 30% in one week, you must at least get a profit in one day of around 4% more to achieve the profit target you apply. Current of capital $1000 you will earn about $300 profit in weekly and I don't think easily with trading can't speculated and not guarantee with profitable every day.
I don't sure with your target will easy for adapting because many expert of trader they can't guarantee with daily day profit exactly regarding your target raise 4% and earn 30% in weekly. Some time market not have progress significant and need waiting two until three days later with movement fewest percent only.

You will get additional profits from the capital you used at the beginning, for example 1000$, a 30% profit becomes 1300$, then another 30% profit becomes 1690$, then a 30% profit, will continue to double.
You only need to count it 12 times, or depending on the number of months you have been trading.

I believe that there are traders who are profitable with compounding. This is the fastest way to be profitable in trading, and if you thought it's gambling, no it's not because when you lose a trade, you will only lose 30% of your capital. Let's say you have $100 margin and won 3 trades with 30% risk, it will become $219. So if you lose in your 4th trade, you probably lose 30% of your $219 capital which will become $169.

If ever you apply this risk management to your plan, you have to make sure that your strategy has a high winning rate.

This is trading, which is related to gambling. You can not always trade and win. Not a curse but that is just how trading is. Be it simple or compound interest, you can not have the right calculation because your calculations in reality and in relation to your trading would be only about profit while not considering the loss. The money that you can not afford to lose to trade with, do not use it to trade. Get your trading money, and do your calculations with just adding the profit and subtracting the loss to know your actual PnL.

First of all take note that it's not as easy as you think to make profit and I hope someone isn't trying to scam you.
Anyways, assuming you have 1000 dollars and your money is multiplied by 1.3 after each week, you will have 23,298 dollars after 12 weeks, 190,050 dollars after 20 weeks and 294,632,676 dollars after 48 weeks.


After n weeks, you will have 1000*(1.3)ⁿ.

For example i have 100$ starting capital and i manage to make 30% weekly profit.
Imagine If you do that with 1000$ and you follow the plan you become very wealthy after 12 months.
Im not talking about this that i take 30% and will do 30x4 i get monthly Im talking about coumpond
So how much i have by coupond in 3 months , 5months and after 12 months ?
What is the calculation i need to use to calculate this.?

Somebody told me about power of compound on spot Market taking altcoin and buying in when btc is monthly low
