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 trades in June. But it is better to have few trades and good performance than the other way around.
June performance in real money account
We started June with an account balance of $225,645.68 and stood at $259,988.48 on June 30th, a percentage gain of 15.27%.

Performance since the start of the real money account
Since the start of the real money account, we have achieved an overall performance of 159%.
