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...
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.

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.

November was a moderate one for us, and there are two main reasons for the poor development that we want to discuss in more detail in this article.
Review of October
October was marked by a relatively big drawdown, but it...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
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...
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...
The Facebook stock crash (more than 20%) after the stock market closed on 25th July following the announcement of the quarterly figures. This exceptional situation has created a good trade opportunity and we will show you the details in...
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...
In this update, we want to show you how our $100,000 real money account did in July. Spoiler alert: It went great!
Short review of June
June did not go particularly well. We reduced the account by $3,106.66, down 3.19%. The...
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...
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...
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.

We launched a so-called TUT spread this month to take advantage of the current low interest rate differential in US bonds in conjunction with the emerging bear market.
What is a TUT spread?
The TUT spread is a spread in US...
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...
In recent times, and in various places, one hears again and again of an upcoming crash or at least a downtrend on the stock markets. We do not want to go into the various sources, signals and indicators or...
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...
Today we want to give you an update on our $100,000 real money account and explain why we currently have a small “minus” to manage.
Current account balance in the $100,000 real money account
As of today, the account balance amounts...
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 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...
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 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 September
September gave us a huge boost in our account, leading to a...
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...
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 December, we found our way back to success and, after the Black Swan in November, the results make us more optimistic about the future.
December Performance
In December, we feared a longer downtrend on the stock markets, which is why...
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 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...
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...
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...
We are trading with a $100,000 corporate trading account and use eight portfolio rules to guide us within the team to optimize the performance. Get to know our trading and money management rules and set up fixed rules for...
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...
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...
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...
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...
As you may already know from our monthly account update—or because you are already a premium member of Tradimo—we hold a Gold-Silver spread in our real money account. This spread was most recently responsible for almost no change in...
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...
October has begun, and it's time to take a look at the performance of our real money account in September.
August performance
As you can read in this article, August ran with a performance of 2.39% in our favor and allowed...
