He emphasizes the reality of trading—volatile, non-linear returns—and contrasts it with the misleading marketing that promises fixed income. The year ended with over 1300% return on capital, but he stresses that such results require high risk and discipline. ### Key Points - **Annual Results Tradition** [00:02] — The trader has been sharing live trading results for over 4 years, operating daily in a private VIP community and on YouTube. He aims to show the reality of a 'skin in the game' trader, including both wins and losses. - **Three Brokers Used** [02:04] — He operates three brokers simultaneously: Cortex (main binary options), Bulex (secondary binary options), and Aquatex (Forex). He also trades cryptocurrencies, stocks, and indices privately. - **December 2025 Performance** [02:47] — Cortex: 87% return (above average). Bulex: positive but below average. Aquatex: excellent result. Total profit for December was strong, with tax liability of 13,000 (15% on capital gains). - **November Negative Month** [06:47] — November ended with a -9% return across all brokers. He notes that even experienced traders have losing months, and beginners must understand that losses are part of the process. - **October Best Month** [07:58] — October was the best month with a 36% total return. Cortex alone had over 150% return due to excellent market conditions aligning with his strategy. He emphasizes meritocracy: results depend solely on the trader and market conditions. - **September and August Results** [10:04] — September: 18% return (quiet but above average). August: 205% return (above average). He notes that profits do not follow a fixed pattern; each month is different. - **Year-End Summary** [12:36] — Total profit for 2025: 1 million (accounting for all entries). Total return: over 1300%. He attributes this to higher risk, which is inherent in professional day trading. He compares to traditional fund managers who aim for 20-25% annual returns. - **Average Monthly Profit** [15:07] — Dividing gross profit by 11 months (no trading in January) gives an average monthly profit. He notes that Forex capital is larger due to regulatory security (FCA), while binary options capital is kept lower to mitigate broker risk. - **Message for Struggling Traders** [16:42] — He urges traders to stop 'playing' and either learn properly or leave. He offers consulting services to help create a structured trading plan, emphasizing that mindset is more important than capital size. - **Free and Paid Options** [19:14] — He provides free live trading on YouTube (Mondays) and a paid VIP community for daily analysis. He also offers one-on-one consulting for personalized plans. ### Conclusion 2025 was an excellent year for the trader, with over 1300% return, but he stresses that such results require high risk and discipline. He encourages viewers to either commit to professional trading or leave the market, offering both free and paid resources for improvement. ## Transcript cycle you built in 2025 has closed. Was it good for you? Did you you do wrong? What did you get right? Well, it's time for us to talk a little about results. I've been doing this with you guys for over 4 years now, you my annual results. I've been operating in the market for 10 years now, right? But four years ago I decided to operate live. Every day I trade live with an exclusive, closed group in a private community, a VIP community, and also here on YouTube, right? That year, we also spent more than four months operating live every day here on YouTube. So part of the you now was built for free, open to everyone on YouTube, it's all recorded, and the rest of the months were done, built inside the VIP area in the closed community. But we operate live every day. And point is to show you how a "skin in the game" trader works, that is, a hardcore trader, one who actually operates in the market every single day, experiencing the market through good times, good days, and bad days, because things aren't always perfect, as people often claim. Well, sometimes we lose, sometimes we win, sometimes it 's excellent, sometimes it's everything. It's a huge emotional rollercoaster, and you need to learn how to deal with it, especially if you want to be a career trader. So, my only goal here is to show you the reality, nothing more than that. Because nowadays we're bombarded by marketing, by people who end up bringing beginner traders into the market in a very wrong, often misleading way, right? And when the trader puts it into practice and sometimes finds that it's not what was taught, he gets very discouraged. So, what practice, even while experiencing the good days, the bad days, and everything in between. But let's go. How was the year 2025? Was it good? Let's take a look here now. This was my result for the day, right? I'll be taking it month by month first, okay? Just a reminder that I operate three brokers here simultaneously, two of which are binary options brokers, one being Cortex, which is the main broker. Then I have binary options broker that we use as a secondary broker. And finally, Forex broker. So we operate these three markets live. Of course, outside of the gaming world I operate in other markets such as cryptocurrencies, stocks, and indices, but that's beside the point. What we publicly disclose, and what we actually use daily for day trading, are these three brokers: Antec, Bulex, and Aquatex, okay? But let's go. How was my December here? Oh, 2025. So here are all the brokers, okay? We can look at each brokerage firm individually. For example, with Cortex, I made 87,000 this month, which was performance, right? It was above average. Look, I generally work within my profitability fluctuates quite a bit, so here's a tip for you, for those of you who are entering the financial market now and fixed return: "Oh, Rico, I want to earn R$2,000 per month, R$10,000 per month." That's not going to happen in the stock market, as the name itself says, right? Equity market. So, it largely depends on performance, that is, on how the market perceives and interprets your strategy that month. very good strategy and the market is respecting that strategy, very good and your results will be greater than you expected. Now, conversely, if you have a strategy that isn't responding moment, you're going to have poor performance, and sometimes even negative performance practice what my year was like, you 'll understand. So, look, at Quotex specifically, this month I had an excellent performance, right? It was a return of over 87%. I generally aim for an average return of 15 to 30% , right? Anything above 30% already indicates a month above average performance. Below that level, my performance wasn't very good. I understand that there are people who try to achieve 100% profitability, 1000%. Ah, rich. I know people who make 3,000, 4,000, 5,000% every month. Dude, it's possible that it could happen, but it's a very small percentage of people who achieve that in the medium to long term. Because what's the big deal about this game? It's about being able to stay here for a long time. The longevity of this business is what makes sense, because there's no point in making money for one or two months and then, starting in the third, fourth, or fifth month, destroying everything. Because if someone is seeking excessively high returns, excessively high risks, right? And we already know that this person's useful life has an expiration date; they won't be able to sustain it for many, many years, but I know there's a segment of people who can, right? Now, bringing this to my own reality and how I operate, I always try to stay within that framework so as not to achieve my desired results. So I'm aiming for an average of 15 to 30% per month, which is excellent for me. As I said, above all else, it's an excellent performance. Anything below that means my month wasn't so great. But let's go. Cotex was the result. Bulex, we had this result, you see it wasn't such a good result? It was positive, but I fell below the average profitability I would look for in Bulex, for example, okay? What you're seeing here is the tax, tax liability, right? So, here I'll have to pay 13,000 in taxes, which is a 15% tax rate for day trading capital gains outside of Brazil. This tool already separates the amount we made this month, right? So this was Aportex, Bulex is here too. And here we have Hanteek. And HTEC is Forex. So that was the result of it was an excellent result as well. Thank God I managed to make a profit, but in total, this was the profit for this month of December. Beauty? own capital, right? I generally work this way; I don't mix the another tip here. I generally operate in these three markets precisely to rebalance my accounts, because understand, each market you operate in is like a company you open. The three companies will not always operate in a linear fashion with each other. There are companies that will do , there are others that won't perform so well, and there are others that will perform exceptionally well. But at the end of all this, you need to , because in the end, all the profit goes into the owner's pocket, right? In other words, you have to understand that sometimes one market isn't doing very well, but another is holding up, you understand? So it's good that in 2026 you're thinking about that aspect, maybe adding a little more market, one or two markets there for you to start trading in, okay? So, let's move on to the famous month my November roundup. I ended up closing with a negative result. And here's a detail I'll give especially for those of you who are just starting out in the market. You'll get through this. I've been in the market for 10 years, and that doesn't exempt me from having a said, depends a lot on how the market is dealing with your strategy, because especially beginners entering the market firmly believe that they will always make money. It's an illusion he creates in his mind. Perhaps not through any fault of his own, perhaps because of the way he learned, but he thinks he's month will be excellent. And here, my result for November, right? It was a month where, out of all the brokerages, I didn't end up positive; I ended up negative 9%. I never look at the profitability. And looking at profitability, 9% is OK, right? It's acceptable for us to go through these moments within a month . But in November, that was my reality, okay? I say this without any shame, because as I told you, this is a conversation between traders. So, my goal is always to show you the reality. November was how I ended up. But let's move on to October now. So, October was undoubtedly the best month I had in 2025. The profitability was above average, right? You can see that we closed with a total return of 36%. But here, if you look at each brokerage individually, let's take Quotex as an example, just Qux in October, right? I had an excellent result. My return on investment was excellent, over 150%. Why? Because we had an was responding very well to our strategy. We were making really good trades, we were operating legally, and the results eventually came. Understand one thing: in the financial market here, everything is entirely meritocratic. What does this mean? That depends solely and exclusively on you. It's you and the market. So, never go to the market if you're feeling bad, if you've argued your children, because the market understands that, right? And it seems that every time we're down, we feel a much greater pain; the market ends up hitting you much harder. In the case of October, specifically at Ctex , we were making a lot of accurate trades, and if I'm not mistaken, in trading live every day . So it was great to have this Especially for the people who aren't part of the closed community and subscribe to the open community on YouTube. So it was also great to follow along and have this So that was the result. Looking only at Bullex, which is the other negative. And here's another tip for you. As I mentioned earlier, it's good that you end up distributing your capital across several markets, or two or three, so that your balance is restored at the end of the month. One thing outweighs the other, and at the end of the month, everything ends up in your pocket, and you manage to to me in October. So you can see that I ended up with a negative balance on Bulex in October, but only Quotex here ended up making up for it, right? So, 40 negative there in Bullex, plus 150 positive in CTex, I've already rebalanced my Hanetec, which is Forex, we ended up closing with this excellent result was the result for September. Yes, we ended up with 141,500, an 18% return, so it was a quiet month too, well above average, fantastic, but it was a really great month . In August we closed with 205, so it was excellent, it was above average, slightly above average, right? So, that's individually to see how things went in August. Oh, 20,000 at QuX, at Bulex in profit, okay? 16 and at HTEC. We had this wonderful result. Just a reminder that for Quotex and Bulex, I always work with the same both, okay? 100,000 for CTEX and 100,000 for Hanteek. So, sorry, for CTEX and Bodex. So, I work with binary options, always maintaining the same level of capital across both brokers. Beauty? In Forex, I have a slightly larger capital, right? Following here, August, July. So, in July, that was the result. Can't you see it's not following a pattern, man? There is no standard profit margin. For months now, your profits have been sky- high. It hasn't been so great for months. But in terms of profitability it was very good, although it was below average. It great, we've got it in our pocket, perfect, but you can see that there's no you is that when you come to the market with the intention of, oh, making a fixed income, it's not going to work that way here, okay? Just so you know . Because I know that beginner traders always do these right? Oh no, but I need to make R$ 20 a day for I don't know what, to make R$1,000. Man, it looks great on when you actually put it into practice, it's a whole different story. So forget about the idea that you're going to have a fixed income here in the market, because you're not going to. What you performance and carefully adjust your risk management, because if you have a very good performance that month, your results will be much greater. If it does n't perform well, it's going to be a flop. So it depends a lot on result, so we remained within the average. It's absolutely beautiful, sensational. In May, the result was 30%, so it was slightly above average, just a little bit above average, which was also fantastic. In April, we closed with this result. Also within the average, perfect. In March, we had this result, okay? That was the result we had here in March. We closed with this result in February, and we didn't operate in January because we were on vacation, right? We took a little started operating there in February. So folks, my year, if we're going to talk about the year here, went like this: 1 million, 1 million in profit, accounting for all the accounting entries, logically, right? So, if we're going to do a retrospective and summary of how the year 2025 went, I can tell you that it was an excellent year, in terms of profitability, because we had a total return of over 1300%. Of course that's a huge exaggeration, right? Many people might look at this and say, "Wow, you get it? If you're going to pursue this result, the risk has to be high." Dude, not really. Yes, we do have a high risk, because I think that's what day trading is all about, right? Well, if we more interesting to stay in some fixed income strategies that don't carry as much risk as at least in my view, that for people who day trade professionally, in particular, they need to take a little more risk, right? on each trader's profile. Some traders will look at this target return and say, "Wow, that's exaggerated." Some traders will find this very little. "Ah, I can do this in a month, right? Go for that one month, a week. So it depends on each trader's profile, within the reality I work with, day trading, for me it was an excellent year, okay? A sensational return, man, sensational. If we put it down on paper, there are market specialists, especially in variable income, who end up seeking fixed income. Today we have a fixed income of 15% per year. People who operate funds and such have a goal of performing above fixed income, around 20, 25% per year, that person is already flying, right? Flying quite a lot and they are already very happy we are talking about people who have to have very low risk because they are everything else, so the risk needs to be very well calculated. Automatically your result is always based on the risk you are taking. As I operate my own capital, I know my risks, I take a little more of that." Risk is natural, but my results also come from the risk I'm taking. And in short, this was the year's result, 1,300. This was the total tax I owe, right? You always pay the tax in the following base year, right? So, for example, in 2026 we'll pay everything that happens in 2025, but we separate the tax capital month by month so that when we get to 2026 we only pay that amount. So, if we were to This was the net result, okay? Already deducting income tax, folks. Man, it was an excellent month, as I told you. If we take this gross result and divide it by 11 months, right? Because we didn't trade in January, so I'll divide by 11 months, we get an average of how much we can make per month in day trading. Here's the average. Of course, capital I have. I have, right? As I told you, Cottex 100,000, Bulex 100,000, and Hanteek is a little more money, okay? It's a little more rich, you trade more heavily in Forex and not in binary options. Uh, we've already talked a lot in the live streams about why I do this. The goal of this results, so as not to make this video too long, but I have my reasons, mainly because Forex is a regulated market, right? Anyway, so you have the security of the FCA in case of solvency and everything else. So, in other words, security to leave a slightly larger amount. Not that we don't trust binary options, but we already know that binary brokers, some of them, depending on how they are, you end up having some problems. So, to avoid these problems, which I've had several of, we end up... Adapting to this type of market, okay? But anyway, this is the result. So, the average is someone asks me, "Man, how much did you make per month in the market?" we ca variable, but if we were to take an average, this is the average that the day trading market gives me per month. It was a much better month, a much better year, much better month, a much better year, actually, than 2024, okay? So that's it, folks. Uh, I hope you enjoyed this year of 2025. And for those of you who didn't enjoy this year of 2025, you say: "Ricô, I didn't like the year 2025, I don't know why I did n't have results." And I have a message for you. 2026 is approaching.
