Direct answer and key limitation
Turning 1,000 into 20,000 in forex is not something you can plan with certainty. Even with careful execution, forex trading outcomes are uncertain because they depend on market movement, timing, and costs.
If you are focused on round turn commission, treat the goal as an example of “what would have to be true” after costs, rather than a guaranteed path. A useful way to analyze it is to separate (1) how profits would need to grow and (2) how trading costs (including round turn commission) would reduce what you actually keep.
How it works: what “round turn commission” changes
Round turn typically means charging for both sides of a trade: opening and closing. A round turn commission is therefore a cost that applies when you enter and when you later exit, not just once.
When you attempt growth from 1,000 to 20,000, commission matters because:
- Multiple round turns accumulate costs over time.
- Net performance depends on returns after costs, not on raw price movement.
- Frequent trading increases the number of commissions you pay, which can make the required performance harder to reach.
To connect this to your target, you can model a simple balance change: starting capital plus net gains after commissions equals ending capital. If commissions are large relative to your trading size, they can dominate results, especially when the strategy relies on small edges.
Example checks you can do without predicting markets
You can do two independent checks to make the problem measurable.
1) Cost sensitivity check (commission vs. potential net gain). Choose a hypothetical trade size and estimate how many round turns you might complete. Then compare the total commission burden to the amount you would need to earn per round turn to reach 20,000. If the required net gain per round turn looks implausibly high, the target becomes unlikely under that cost structure.
2) Uncertainty check (path matters). The same ending amount can come from very different paths (few trades vs. many trades, early wins vs. late wins). Because round turn commission scales with the number of exits and entries, two paths with the same target can have very different net feasibility.
