About

Built by traders,
for traders.

TradeAndCompound exists for one reason: the tools every trader needs shouldn't sit behind a paywall. So we built them — fast, focused, and free.

Most trading tools online are either gated behind a subscription, buried in ads, or built as lead magnets for a course. We got tired of it. The four things every trader actually needs — knowing when the market is open, sizing a position, projecting compounding, and finding a funded account — should be fast, free, and honest.

Timezone-awareness matters. Half the retail traders we know have misread a session because a tool showed London hours in GMT and forgot to mention it. Market Hours detects your local clock and shows live session status — pre, open, closed — so you never miss the open or chase the close.

Compounding is the edge. A small, consistent risk-adjusted return, repeated, beats heroic single trades. The Compound Calculator makes that visible — project account growth across hundreds of trades and see why discipline outperforms prediction.

Prop firms democratize capital. Not everyone starts with a $50k account. Funded accounts let skilled traders trade serious size without risking their own savings. Our Prop Firm Picks cut through the noise — curated, ranked on terms and payout reliability, and always labeled when an link is affiliate.

Principles

What we won't compromise on.

Transparency

Sponsorships and affiliate links are always labeled. No hidden promotions, no disguised ads, no paid rankings.

Free forever

The core tools stay free. No signup walls, no premium tiers, no surprise upsells after you're hooked.

Education-first

Tools teach the why, not just the what. Every calculator ships with context so you understand the math.

Independent

Editorial picks are ours. We won't promote a prop firm we wouldn't trade with ourselves.

Built by

The founder

TradeAndCompound is built by a retail trader who got tired of paywalled calculators and timezone-confused session timers. After a decade of trading forex and futures — and burning a few prop firm challenges along the way — the decision was simple: build the tools I wished existed, and give them away.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is TradeAndCompound free to use?

Yes — every tool is free with no signup, no paywall, and no feature gating. We keep the lights on through clearly labeled sponsorships and affiliate links from prop firm partners. The tools themselves are never locked behind an account or a subscription.

How does TradeAndCompound make money?

Through affiliate relationships with prop firms and display advertising on select pages. When you sign up with a partner through one of our links, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. All sponsored placements are explicitly labeled, and our editorial rankings are never for sale.

Is this financial advice?

No. TradeAndCompound provides tools and educational content only. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any instrument. Trading carries substantial risk — you are responsible for your own decisions. Always do your own research and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose.
