An original trading target of 30%
Originally, we set the trading target of 30% for 2018. Since...

On May 8, 2018, we placed our first trade in our $100,000 real money account. Now a year is over, and we want to take stock and do some statistical analysis and a forecast for the next 10 years.

December Performance
In December, we feared a longer downtrend on the stock markets, which is why...
After setting a fantastic record month in March, April was a bit sluggish. While we were able to make good money from our income strategies on the Russell 2000, some commodities did not quite go our way. All in...
October went very badly for us, and we want to show you in this article what led to the current drawdown and how we handle it.

Review of October
October was marked by a relatively big drawdown, but it...
In this update, we want to show you how things went in our $100,000 real money account in August.
Short review
July went well. We realized profits of $7,301.87 and achieved a performance of 17%.
Normal performance in August
August gave us a...
In July, our account posted an increase in equity, largely due to our gold-silver spread.
July performance in the real money account
We started in July with a balance of $121,860.20 and stood at $128,980.76 on July 31, which represents a...
The Tradimo real money account has existed since May 2018 and has experienced both good and bad weeks as well as good and bad months. During the two best months, we achieved a return of 17%. But now we...
The stock markets moved sideways in March, but fortunately not in our account. Here it pays off that we are very widely spread. Many commodities made an impressive rally, and we benefited greatly. The result is a record month...
June gave our real money account an unaltered balance. Almost without exception, we achieved winning trades, but a trade that has not yet been closed is eroding profits.
June performance
We started with a balance of $122,318.74 in June and stood...
September was without any ups and downs, although we were able to realize nice winnings. This is due to 2 positions that we consciously cling to. Some of you may already have guessed what they are: they are the...
After July continued to be solid, the first days of August caught us off guard, as the markets went a bit crazy and volatility significantly increased. Many of our positions had to be closed after a very short period...
The short month of February was pretty good on the financial markets, but unfortunately not in our $100,000 real money account. One reason is the rising Russell 2000. Its incessant price appreciation led to losses in our butterflies. Here's...
The start of the year was quite gratifying for our real money account and we were able to gain 5.18%, thanks to the excellently run Widow Maker. Furthermore, we have started to build up small equity positions with caution.
January...
October brought our real money account up, and we are well on our way to achieving our full-year target. Several trades went back in the right direction, and we were able to close some butterflies at a profit.
October performance...
May could not help our real money account move forward, or better, up. Again, the Russell 2000 behaved very bitchily, and we also had to realize losses in some other trades.
May Performance
We started into May with a balance of...
The year 2019 was a rollercoaster ride for our real money account, which, in the end, produced a solid result. We missed our target of 30% and have to settle for a performance of 12.2%. But when you consider...
Unfortunately, not much came together in November, and we have parted company with some lossy positions. But even the rally on the stock markets was not conducive to our option constructs in the real money account.
November performance in the...
The year ended with an unchanged balance for our $100,000 real money account in November. This could be considered a disappointment, but as we were already at 5% in mid-December, we were very happy with a black zero. We...
March confronted us with a slump on the stock exchanges, which in 2008, 2001 and 1987 overshadowed the sharpness of the big crash in 1929. But again we were slightly better than the market and can be somewhat proud...
In this article we want to talk in plain language and show you how deep we fell in the recent crisis and how we made it relatively quickly and are even close to a new all-time high in our...
In April we successfully completed the account switch, taking great care to ensure that the new account was capitalized with the same amount that the old account was closed with. We can therefore continue to show a constant return...
After we had an excellent month in May with +13.38%, June also started with a new all-time high on June 5th. Our real money account reached over $143,000. Unfortunately, we were unable to maintain this level as there was...
The happy month of May was actually a terrific month for our real money account because we reached a new all-time high. We did not make many trades at all but lived from existing trades and from continually renewed...
After a short dry spell in June, we were able to shine again with a very respectable performance in July. This came about without much effort and is essentially based on the results of current positions from the previous...
The month of September brought a small drop of around 11% on the stock markets. In the course of this small downturn, volatility rose again, which in total also pushed our account down slightly.
September performance in real money account
We...
August brought us a new all-time high of just over $160,000, but unfortunately, we couldn't hold that level until the end of the month. Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with another positive performance and have enough cash to use...
After an all-time high (162,000 EUR) in our real money account, we had to admit defeat to the increasing volatility on October 30th. We are confident that a clear election result in the USA will bring with it a...
The month of November literally catapulted our real money account upwards. We have never had such a return and is of course a positive slip-up. We are by no means aiming for double-digit percentage increases per month, but we...
December could not continue the outstanding performance of November, but neither could this be expected. But we are very happy that the real money account reached a new all-time high at the end of the year.
December performance in real...
We were able to continue the growth from March in April and are still above our target for the year. The time will soon come to set up our income strategies in the Russell2000 again. We also made some...
June was kind to us and we were able to make significant gains. The well-known benchmarks, on the other hand, only ran sideways, so that we were able to further set ourselves apart. However, there were again not many...
The year got off to a very good start and we even reached a new all-time high of $194,000. But the last 3 days of January were very hectic and led to increased volatility on the stock markets. Since...
In March we became a bit more active again and mainly did a lot of option trades. However, these trades do not serve to make a profit, but are intended to secure the very good performance of last year.
March...
Our account did not grow in May, but we were able to set up other very promising trades without any losses. Basically, it is a good result when you consider that we fell significantly on the markets in the...
July actually went pretty well, but an expensive mistake in a coffee trade costs us performance and makes us fall behind.
July performance in real money account
We started July with an account balance of $259,988.48 and stood at $231,461.89 on...
