📉Trading Review 2025📈

The year is not quite over yet, but experience shows that not much happens for me in the last two weeks before Christmas. After that, it tends to be quiet on the trading front until mid-January. If you read less from me in the next few weeks: don't worry, I'm not gone and I'm not a fake account, I'm just taking a vacation.

A few statistics for interested followers of my trading posts.

My last trades

$ADBE (-0,07 %)
$UBER (-0,08 %)
$TWST (+1,97 %)
$KD (+0,28 %)
$IREN (-0,46 %)
$DECK (+0,6 %)

Trading Statistics YTD

Number of transactions: 544
Loss trades: 16,6 %
Winning trades: 83,4 %

Performance of the trading portfolio: +58.19 % gross (before KEST) / +41.66 % net

In total, a mid five-figure net amount. A nice additional family income. Not a path to becoming a millionaire, but for a few hours of effort per week, a strong ROI for me.

Performance distribution

90% of the trades: between 0 % and 10 % profit
10 % of the trades: over 10 % profit

👉The key lies not in individual "bull run trades" with +100% or +200%, but in the frequency, consistency and a functioning setup. If you stay true to your strategy, you will fare better in the long term than with FOMO and looking at other traders.

Personal thoughts

For me, trading is a hobby, a means to an end.

Important: Don't let the stock market and investing dominate your life. It should never become an "addiction" that determines your daily mood.

My milestone 2025

Besides trading, I am a passionate mountaineer & mountain biker (hardtail without motor!). According to Komoot, this year I have climbed Everest 5.3x this year, I am a a "peak chaser" whatever that means 😂.

Even more important: lots of valuable experiences with my family in the mountains. That's what counts in the end.

PS: Speaking of fake accounts: my trades were recently audited by the tax office & tax consultant. If anyone in Austria needs tips on the proper documentation of trades with non-tax-simple foreign brokers in foreign currency.

Trading - more than hectic trades and coffee consumption ☕☕☕☕

The image of a trader is often characterized by countless monitors, charts and ticking price information. Hours spent drinking coffee, rapid decisions, lots of stressful trades - this is exactly how many people imagine trading.

But the reality is completely different! 😎

For a long time now, I've wanted to write an article about trading and give interested community members a deeper insight. You often hear the infamous killer argument: "Don't do it, 80% lose money." But trading is much more than just a game of chance!

For me, "trading" has developed into an exciting hobby over the years, through which I can with little time investmentbut a serious approacha nice additional income can generate 💰💰💰💰

If you're interested in this topic, let me know! I'll be publishing more posts on the subject in the near future - especially for anyone who wants to learn more about trading.

As my time allows, I might take a closer look at the following questions in posts:

Trading vs. buy & hold - Which strategy suits whom?
Requirements for trading - What should you bring with you?
Time required - How much time is really necessary?
Trade frequency - How many trades do I make as a part-time hobby trader?
Capital - How much do I invest in my trades?
Profit vs. loss trades - My balance sheet for 2025 YTD
Income - What can you earn as a part-time trader?
Trading setup - Saving the most exciting for last - Which indicators do I use?

And, of course, I am also happy to answer specific questions.

What there will most certainly NOT be here:

❌Dubious Telegram channels or invitations to YT, Insta or other social media channels
❌Trading signals or unrealistic promises of profit
❌"Hot" tips - you won't find them among my friends or relatives, nor here!

I'm happy to share my personal experiences, but without any hocus-pocus or get-rich-quick promises. It's about honest exchange for everyone who is interested in trading!

Very interesting and congratulations on the performance!

Have you ever considered setting up a wikifolio?
At least 20% won't be deducted from your performance immediately. So it could be worthwhile for you.
And I would also consider investing a few euros. 🫡

•

Klein-Anleger1@Klein-Anleger1

@Epi that would actually be nice 😎

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Epi I actually thought about this a few years ago when I set up a Wikifolio account. But then I discarded the idea. Now I think it would be too much extra work for me and after the last few weeks of discussions about tax, it would first have to be clarified how the income from it is to be taxed again.

PS: there was a discussion about whether I could possibly be classified as a commercial trader. That's off the table, but a wikifolio would probably not be beneficial 🥶
In Austria, this is such an "overall impression" assessment by the tax office and the "external appearance" also plays a role, whether I offer services or advice. Which I don't do, but how a wikifolio like this is to be assessed again🤔

•

Epi@Epi

@TomTurboInvest What would be the additional effort if you made the trades in the wikifolio instead of the private portfolio?

The joke would be that your trading successes would only be visible to the tax office as an increase in the value of the certificate, nothing more. It would be as if you bought and held a single ETF. Your trading activity is therefore virtually invisible to the tax office. It only looks at the profit when it is paid out.

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Epi I was of the opinion that in order to get an investable certificate, you first have to operate the wikifolio for a while, only then will it become "investable" at some point and it also requires some documentation or, let's say, comments on my part to keep the community in line and to be able to draw attention to the wikifolio. There seem to be an infinite number of them.

•

Epi@Epi

@TomTurboInvest Well, imagination and reality. 😬

1. you have to fulfill a few conditions to get an investable certificate, of course. But they are much lower threshold than you think. You can get the 10 reservations from your GetquinFans in 10 minutes.

2. you can also keep the investors in line and, in my opinion, best with good performance. You don't have to comment on every trade. If you post the report from GQ there, that's enough.

3. you don't need to pay attention to the wikifolio if it's a tax-saving investment for you.

You see, it's easier than you think.

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Epi Thanks for the information - I'll take the time to read up on this over Christmas.
Currently, my "tax-saving shell" is my non-tax-simple foreign broker, although this is only a tax deferral, as I only pay tax on the balance in the following year and can always continue trading with the gross profit during the year. That's also a nice thing 😅

•

Epi@Epi

@TomTurboInvest That also sounds interesting. Which foreign broker do you have?

••

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Epi Interactive Brokers is really great for traders. Especially if you focus on US stocks.

Many great order types, for example, you can specify yourself whether incl./excl. extended trading hours, which is important for SL or trailing limit SL.
And you can keep the account in USD, i.e. you don't need to convert currency with every trade. What's more, you only pay order fees plus free real-time data packages from a certain number of trades or order fees.
And the best thing is that you can set the orders from the chart, TP and SL all with one buy order, basically 3 orders in one 😁

Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing and have a lovely Christmas break 🤝👋

@Klein-Anleger1 Have a wonderful Advent season too

@TomTurboInvest Dankeschööön ✌️

Thanks for the insight! :-)

Wiktor_06@Wiktor_06

I want to buy a MacBook in January and get to grips with it by mid-2026.
And then I'll probably take €1,000 to see if it's right for me. Because I've been toying with the idea for a while.

I love analyzing charts and making "riskier" trades.
Do you have any YouTubers or books that you can recommend?

Thanks in advance

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Wiktor_06 You can read through my series (4 parts) plus the recap https://getqu.in/Zpiz4G/😅

Have a look at what I consider important in the recap - maybe this will help you to get started or to get an overview.

There are countless channels about trading on YT, one of the few that I can recommend with a clear conscience is Felix Hövelborn's, probably because his trading concept is very similar to mine 😅

In my opinion, he offers a lot of good free content, and of course he also offers trader training, but I wouldn't spend money on it to start with. You can learn a lot from all the free content. For example, I have never spent money on trading education, but if I did, I would probably give this channel a try.

PS: think about what you want to trade first and start with a paper account, otherwise the €1,000 will be gone straight away 👆
e.g. at TradingView you can test for free with a paper account.

Dan keep us up to date with your new project

Wiktor_06@Wiktor_06

@TomTurboInvest Thank you for this detailed answer. I wish you a peaceful Advent season

•

Wiktor_06@Wiktor_06

@Tenbagger2024 Thank you very much. When I get the MacBook, I will definitely publish my trip. Then lots of people can contribute and give me tips.

•

Ben K.@BenKar91

@TomTurboInvest solid performance. I've been following a similar tactic for some time, but I'm slightly less profitable than you. If I'm not mistaken, you also got some of your skills from Felix Hövelborn. As long as you stick to the "rules", it's sometimes really easy money 😅👍🏽
Continued success, your contributions are of great benefit 👌🏽
Cheers

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@BenKar91 Thanks for your feedback - yes - my trading setup is very similar to Felix Hövelborn's, and has certainly been influenced by his YT contributions in recent years!

It's the discipline and emotions that make it difficult. But I always refer to it as "easy money". But at the end of the day, trading is a trade like any other, and you need perseverance and time to learn it, you don't just learn it from watching 1 hour of YT.

I wish you continued success - it took me years to achieve sustainable profitability, and I still make enough mistakes today.

•

NoOneElse@NoOneElse

🙌 great thanks 😊.
would be interesting a hybrid strategy like trading + buy & hold?

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@NoOneElse Thank you - I actually have a "hybrid portfolio", i.e. a large part is B&H but the majority is ETFs, bond ETFs and concrete gold, but it's more about preserving value and simply "swimming" with the market.
I trade actively with a small portion, but this performance would not be possible with B&H, as the capital would be parked in individual securities for too long and I would therefore not be able to take advantage of as many opportunities.
I always say that it is much easier to take a few percent many times within a few days than to bet on one card and "forever" on the tenbagger warten🤷🏽‍♂️

KoenigsRasse@KoenigsRasse

Congratulations on your performance. Keep up the good business on the stock market. Don't be away from us for too long. We'll be waiting for you here.
Your getquin family 😜
Best wishes from Bamberg and happy holidays, in case you should take a dive after all

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@KoenigsRasse Thanks - I'm still here, I'll just be online a little less 😉

•

PietAT@Petzi-Port

Congratulations on your performance :)

Did you buy stocks for your longterm portfolio this year?
I saw your $PG purchase post again today, are you planning to add more?

•

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Petzi-Port I bought more yesterday, but it remains to be seen whether that was a good move. I'm actually convinced that PG and utilities in general will rotate at some point. It may just take a while before the risk-off mode really kicks in.

•

PietAT@Petzi-Port

@TomTurboInvest ok, you never know, I also bought more yesterday.

Do you show your current portfolio somewhere, I'd be interested to see it

••

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Petzi-Port I recently removed the trading portfolio from my aggregated view because it is not very meaningful due to my sometimes very short-term positions. Lately I have a lot of 2-3 day positions and also day trading positions. It hardly makes sense to look at a point in time x. The portfolio does not show that I will close the position in the evening or shortly, for example.

••

PietAT@Petzi-Port

@TomTurboInvest ok I see, do you make your trades in your main portfolio?

••

TomTurboInvest@TomTurboInvest

@Petzi-Port I have now created my own in GQ, once it is cleanly separated, I can share it again
