Compound growth is a lesson, not a promise
Small contributions plus time plus reinvested returns produce the hockey-stick charts every finance book shows. The simulator makes the arithmetic visible — it does not predict markets.
Real paths are jagged: fees, taxes, sequence of returns, and behavior gaps between planned and actual contributions. Use hypothetical rates conservatively.
Pair this with position-size math for trading education, or Investing Studio for portfolio-level planning. Neither replaces professional advice.
