How the monthly figure is calculated: The simulated ending balance of $362,129.91 divided by the $200,000 starting balance, raised to the power of 1/9, minus 1 gives approximately 6.8% per month compounded. This summarizes the total simulated gain over nine months; individual monthly results were not supplied, so it is not an observed monthly average or a claim that every month earned 6.8%. It is not an expected future return. Historical simulated performance is not live performance and does not predict or guarantee future results. Actual trading can differ materially because of spreads, slippage, broker data, latency, liquidity, gaps, outages, news execution and market conditions. Foreign-exchange and leveraged trading can result in substantial losses.
