The Power Of Compounding ft. Alejandro

In episode 219 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down with Alejandro to talk about the power of compounding. Compounding is a great tool that has been used by legendary investors and the richest people in the world to grow their fortunes. Compounding is best seen over long periods, but in trading, there are more ways to compound your returns and grow your capital.

In this live recording, we will be showing you just how much compounding can change your trading results in the long run. We will also show you ways to increase your account even faster using other people's money and we will answer your questions about trading.
