How $1,000 Could Scale to $100K a Month 📈
The idea is simple: start with one credit spread, then gradually increase the number of spreads as your capital grows.
Assume each spread requires $1,000 in margin and generates $100 in profit.
Week 1–2
1 spread per day
→ $100/day
→ roughly $500/week
After two weeks, you’ve built up roughly $1,000 in profits, bringing the account to about $2,000.
Week 3
2 spreads/day
→ $200/day
→ $1,000/week
Week 4
3 spreads/day
→ $300/day
→ $1,500/week
Week 5
4 spreads/day
→ $400/day
→ $2,000/week
Week 6
5 spreads/day
→ $500/day
→ $2,500/week
…and so on.
The idea is to add roughly one additional spread each week as the account grows.
By the end of the year, the model gets to roughly 50 spreads per day.
50 spreads × $100 = $5,000/day
$5,000 × 20 trading days = $100,000/month
🔥 That’s the power of scaling position size instead of trying to hit a home run on every trade.
Of course, this is a mathematical example, not a guaranteed return. It assumes the same $100 profit per spread, consistent execution, sufficient margin, and no losing trades, fees, or changes in market conditions.
The real challenge isn't the math.
It’s surviving long enough to scale.
