📈Portfolio Tracking

The portfolio began with €10,000 in 2012. Following the model’s signals alone, it has compounded into more than €500,000 today. Over the same period, the S&P 500 ETF would have grown that capital to roughly €60,000–70,000. That’s the power of rules, discipline, and decades of compounding.

The first chart shows the value progression over time. The second gives the current snapshot. Notice I’m not showing the exact allocation here - that remains available in the paid section, along with the reasoning behind every position.

Transparency matters. My goal is to make the performance of this approach as clear as possible, so you can see what happens when signals, not stories, guide every decision.
