New Spreadsheet for Small Accounts
The presenter addresses complaints about the lack of modularity in the previous spreadsheet and introduces a new version uploaded minutes ago. The concept is to grow a $20 account to $52,000 after 30 winning trades by compounding 30% profit per trade.
[00:27]
Compounding Mechanics
With a $20 starting balance, each trade aims for a 30% gain ($6 profit), resulting in a new balance of $26. This process repeats, and losing trades require going back one level with a small extra allowance.
[00:57]
Customizable Parameters
Four boxes on the left allow users to start with any balance over $20, adjust risk percentage (e.g., 1% for conservative trading), set risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2), and specify stop-loss in pips (e.g., 10 pips).
[01:13]
Conservative Example
Starting with $100 and risking 1% per trade with a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio and 10-pip stop-loss, after 30 successful trades the account would grow to $181, demonstrating traditional healthy risk management.
[01:46]
Higher Risk Example
With a 10% risk per trade and 1:2 reward ratio, a $100 starting balance could grow to $23,000 after 30 wins, using the same 10-pip stop-loss. The spreadsheet automatically calculates levels.
[02:13]
Download Instructions
The new challenge spreadsheet can be downloaded from tmafx.com by clicking the 20-pip challenge file icon (third icon down). Users can adjust the four side boxes as needed.
The spreadsheet provides a flexible tool for traders to simulate and execute a compounding strategy with customizable risk parameters, turning small starting capital into significant gains over 30 winning trades.

[00:00] In two minutes or less, I'm going to show you how to grow a small Forex account starting with just 20 bucks. You've probably seen this spreadsheet before, and I've gotten a lot of complaints about the lack of modularity here. So, I made a new spreadsheet for you. I just uploaded it 5 minutes
[00:15] ago. The whole concept of the spreadsheet is being able to take $20 and using compounding and never withdrawing from the account. Using compounding after 30 successful trades, like
[00:27] 30 winning trades, you will get it to $52,000. Basically, whatever your starting balance is, you're trying to gain 30% on the trade. So, for 20 bucks, the profit goal is six bucks and then your ending balance is 26. This information gets taken to the next level and you do it over and
[00:43] over and over again. And when you have a losing trade, you basically just go back a level with a little extra. Now, before it was just a static spreadsheet, but now I've added these four boxes to the left right here. So now you can start with any balance that you want that's over 20 bucks.
[00:57] Cuz if it's less than 20 bucks, you won't be able to actually execute the first trade. So now, let's say you want to start with a 100 bucks, but you want to do less risk. You don't want to risk 15% per trade. Let's say you want to do traditional trading and you want to risk 1% per trade. And
[01:13] let's say you're looking for a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio, and you still want a stop-loss of around 10 pips, looking for a 20 pip takeprofit. Now, after 30 successful trades, you'll have $181. And that's traditional, good, healthy risk management. And you can use this and mark each completed level,
[01:31] put notes of winning or losing trades. You can grab the screenshot URL from Trading View and put it in here. But the whole goal of this is to allow you to be able to leverage a small amount of money and grow it into something more substantial. If you just bump up the risk to
[01:46] 10% and keep the risk multiplier at a 1:2. So for the first trade you're risking 10% which is $10, you're expecting a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. So you're expecting 20 bucks as the win. Still
[01:58] using 10 pips as your stop-loss. You can now see that this is a more manageable, reasonable expectation. taking a h 100red bucks to 23,000. And you don't have to adjust anything on this spreadsheet anymore. It's just these four boxes on the side. So if you want the
[02:13] new challenge spreadsheet, go to tmafx.com. On there, the third icon down will be the 20 pip challenge file. Just click that and it'll download onto your desktop and you can adjust
[02:25] it however you please. Thanks so much for watching and we will see you in the next
