Compounding: project final = start·(1+r)^n over n trades, or solve trades n = ln(target/start)/ln(1+r) to reach a goal at a per-trade return. Deterministic compounding math LLMs fumble. Answers 'how many trades to double at 2%','what will 1000 grow to at 2% over 50 trades','trades needed to hit my target'.
