Behind the Scenes of a 502% Excess Return System (Revealing My Unfiltered Monthly Return History)
A complete breakdown of 10 years of wins and losses from the MarketFighter Strategy.
Hi Friends 👋
I hope you’re all enjoying the summer! I’m currently on vacation in Italy with my wife and our two boys. I prepared most of this post before we took off, but I didn’t want to keep you waiting until we’re back home.
This post is about returns, psychology, and transparency. Unfortunately, in finance, it’s common to only display the wins and the good parts. I strongly believe that trust is built by communicating transparently about wins as well as losses.
That’s why I’m now presenting the full return breakdown of my strategy for every single month during the past 10 years. I will compare these to the market and you will see exactly when it did well and when it did not.

I write about a simple approach to beat the stock market with only 15 minutes of monthly work that anyone can copy. Check out these links:
Open track record
Actually, you don’t see this a lot in finance: A long-term open track record, revealing the performance of all trades going 10+ years back.
Many of you subscribers have told me that the transparency of my data and the open performance reporting are among the core reasons you decided to follow along.
I am very grateful for that. And I can promise you, I’m never going to hide bad results. These are as much a part of the process as the good ones.
Most of my writing so far has been focused on comparing returns by calendar year. I like this interval because it tends to give time for temporary dips and spikes to fall into place.
But annual returns don’t show the journey and the psychological struggles that may have been present along the way. That’s why I’m doing a fine-grained rundown of monthly returns in this post.
