Many trading products rely on back-testing to simulate results. However, these results are unreliable because no simulation can capture the variability inherent in live trading.
We started a small account when we launched TradeOnAUTO and published our first two years’ accounts here.
The only measure of performance in the market is through real returns!

Real traders know that even staying alive with a small account like this is very difficult, because there is no opportunity for diversification. Nevertheless, we are proud to have recorded an impressive growth in account value. As expected with a small account, we had to endure considerable volatility, but were able to remain consistent through the bad spells – thanks to TradeOnAUTO!
Having proved our point with this live trading account, we have now switched to a much larger paper trading account which we are using to trade a greater number of strategies. The results are recorded daily in our blog.
