How Compounding Grows the Balance
Each win multiplies your balance by a fixed growth factor: one plus your stake fraction times the payout. Reinvesting that larger balance into the next trade compounds the effect, so the curve steepens fast. The catch is the mirror image — the same stake fraction is exactly what you lose the moment one trade goes against you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Compounding means staking a percentage of your current balance on each trade rather than a fixed cash amount. After every win the balance grows, so the next stake is larger and profits accelerate. The trade-off is that risk grows in step with the balance, and one loss removes whatever percentage you staked.
You lose the amount you staked. At a 50% stake a loss cuts your balance in half; at a 100% stake a single loss takes the entire staked balance to zero. Because binary options pay less than 100% on a win but cost 100% of the stake on a loss, even a high win rate cannot guarantee the run survives.
No. Staking your whole balance produces the steepest curve on paper, but it also means the very first loss ends the account. Most traders who size by percentage keep the stake small — often a few percent — so a losing trade is survivable and the strategy has room to continue. Treat the all-in figure as a warning, not a target.
Unbroken streaks of ten or more wins are uncommon. Even a strong edge produces losses scattered through the sequence, and each trade is independent of the last. The balances this tool shows describe a best-case run that rarely occurs in practice — use it to understand the mechanics, not to plan an outcome you can count on.
