I was just making a comment based on yours which said how long would it take to grow a 1000 account to 1 million at 40 a day profit ? a flipping long time - but with compounding - much less
James, I think you should relook my original post.
Hi guys,
This is easily done in an Excel spreadsheet.
There is a compound interest formula that says:
P=final capital
A = initial capital
n = number of periods of compounding (eg weeks, months, years)
i = rate of interest for the period.
P=A*(1+i)^n The carete symbol (^) means “to the power of”
In your theoretical case of compounding $1,000 per day at $40 profit per day, then:
A = $1,000
P = $1,000,000
i = $40/$1,000 = 4%
n = number of days to compound $1,000 into $1M at 4% interest each day, every day.
$1,000,000 = $1,000*(1+0.04)^n. The solution for n is 177 periods, 0.885 years, or 46 weeks. For a net 4% per trading day each and every day, to put this in perspective, if you go back in time to 2009 and buy one dollar worth of a Bitcoin (1,000 coins), which are worth almost $1,000,000 today, that would have taken you ten years to achieve. Obviously, Forex trading is much faster so you have come to the right place. 
Yes, you can become rich but slowly and steadily with experience.

Good answer! It really takes dedication and knowledge to become rich with forex trading. The best advice for beginners that I have is to be prepared for losses and to never stop [learning how to trade.
If you have a reliable broker and a good and profitable trading strategy,it is obvious that you can earn a huge money from this market.
To get into the FOREX Trade with the ambition or notion of becoming rich is the wrong mind set. You can lose your money just as fast as earning it. DISCIPLINE is first and foremost. All else will fall into place. You can blow your first lot and be discouraged. So just go with the flow of the charts.
Ask me in 3 years 
honestly speaking i have seen very traders who got rich from Forex trading , its a very long term process , for that reason we lost interest after passing sometimes.
Not there yet, but I think I’m on the right path of getting there. After all, who wouldn’t want to be Richard Dennis.
It all depends on what the rich means to you. I believe that you can become rich in trading with the same chance as without money. It all depends on your efforts. If you want to make a lot of money, you’ll have to make an effort equivalent to your demands. Remember that everything always depends on you, only you will make yourself rich and no one else.
There are many who have earned heights by just trading forex. But yes, it needs sheer hard work and good skills to achieve that position.
I think the right question should be:
Is there anyone that acheived consistent profitability and can live with trading?
