Time has allowed us to do this, so today we're going to talk to more than event, all from our community, and I'm going to present all the growth we 've had in less than a year, both in terms of capital and the achievements and the number of students who previously operated manually or were not with robots and have even achieved profitability. So come with me to see the whole event, it's going to be really cool. 20% of people have already come, there's still 80% left, so there's still work to be done to welcome them. a phrase several times, and that is that being here today with us, with this group, is a place where the wind blows in our favor. I repeated this about 10 or 15 realize that, like, if you're in a community where people are that you want, then you'll probably experience something similar if you're with these people , right? That's why I always say that I try to create this the same direction, right?, which is the one we want. Well, today's presentation I have prepared is to demonstrate that what I said last year is true, and you will see it with numbers because what we have achieved is spectacular. Good, evolution. How has management evolved since August 2025? It's brutal. In other words, we started with 5,000, that is, in August 2025 we were all managing a ridiculously low 5,000, which is already quite something, and today we are at 32.8. In fact, last month at 34.4 we have good rise in March, in April. We'll see about commissions later, but I I mean, the March rating that Capital gave us in April, uh, well, a lot of people here will be happy, right? Almost a 7x in 9 months is doing 80% of your life every month. It's crazy. It is true that this is also thanks to the new people who have joined, that is, the more people there are, the more they add up, even if we are more, but if we add up to 30,000 we add up. It's true, but these new people have so many records behind them that they're accumulating millions. This means that this growth, especially in recent months, is thanks to the people who have been here for a year or a year and a half, who are still here. If this were something of chance, something random, of luck, we would go, we would take some capital management after 5 or 6 months and after 8 months we would all blow our accounts . But this is because older people , we're creating a snowball effect. Well, that's a very good sign that what we 're doing is working. [music] is, those of us who are here and the people who could n't come, €300,000 is a lot of money. I think it's a lot of money because this is a statistic; you won't see it, but it's from August 2025. August 2025. I mean, it's not even for one year. Look, it's a lot of money here. And then again this year, again this year Jorge has once again achieved number one at Darwin Gold. Just so you know, TGV is Jorge's Darwin, and he's one of our mentors. Well, look, Jorge, you should know that this year Darwin has won you should know that this year Darwin has won the number one Gold title twice [applause] [laughs] So , we're halfway through the month, and if you do it right, third year, third month, in a year and a half, eh, damn, man. Simon Bills, who is an 11-time Olympic medalist. I'm not trying to be the next Usain Bolt or Michael Felps, I'm trying to be the first Simon Beams. So with that, thank you . [applause] [music] a coffee break, you've given a perfect presentation. It's been great. It's been good. Now I'm going to ask you for something. What do you think about doing some short interviews with the students? I'm going to take a little stroll around here and ask think? Does everything seem okay to you ? yours. Get them to say you. Let's see what they say. Perfect, perfect. I'm going there. for the training? Tell me. Well, I came looking for a methodology that would give me confidence in a way to trade and generate passive income because I wanted to learn how to trade, but I didn't want to be in front of the computer for 10 hours every day. To get off the treadmill, I decided to automate strategies and all that, because honestly, I was fed up understanding what it was all about. What was your situation before and what is your situation now? Well, before I knew nothing about trading, now I know something, I know how to generate my systems and I have a small passive income , but it helps a little. much more comfortable, much easier, because I was coming from so much more relaxed. The truth is that I'm happy with the trajectory of the [music], the investments, it has been growing over time and I hope it continues to grow and my goal now is to continue expanding. well, sometimes I won, sometimes I lost, sometimes I lost more, sometimes I lost even more, and nowadays, well, let's see, I'm not exactly a millionaire, but it's enough to Marvelous. Before, I used to do my things in demo mode, and I got normal results. Now I'm starting to understand what the trading market is , what I want to do, and how to apply it with algorithmic trading. It was really You have to answer me. Do you have algorithms now? Do you have a portfolio? in place? Yes, in Darwin X, in a demo account and then in a real account. And yes, Darwin went very well for me. An 11% drop in November, you can imagine how I felt. December also yielded good results, and January did as well. I'm currently experiencing a slight drawdown, but overall I'm still making a profit. I currently have a Darwin that is Yes, I have several portfolios, I have automated robots. For example, in Darwin this month I have an allowance of €85,000. I've also started with a company in Colombia where I 'm making a little money, and I'm making some money with Asales, so things are working out. What do you think of the program? Would you recommend it? Tell me a little bit about it. Yes lot. Firstly, because you are very close, you already know that, you are already seeing it. And other training backgrounds, it seemed very complete and just what you need to Well, this has definitely changed me. It's a game-changer, and I highly recommend it. Whether you're profitable or not , it's going to change you one way or another. You'll n't always say it, you know, you get what you pay for and what it offers. You're doing great. the follow-up is very good, I think the support is very good, and I would say is that anyone who doesn't do it is because they don't want to know what For me it's a leap, and the academy has given me that leap. So, whoever is thinking about it, well, you have to work hard, you have to be very committed. I've dedicated many hours to it, but it's possible and the academy is the perfect boost. It's a serious academy. It already has a history that I have known almost from the beginning and how it has grown. They have very experienced people already and many very fundamental things, everything is very well-founded and very good and I'm happy. [music] now we're going to have dinner, the 40 or 50 of us who have been left behind here, but who are very top-notch. I've almost lost my voice, talking to so many people, people who are just capital under management, and in the end, we all come together here and share a lot of information, leaving with our pockets full of all that knowledge. So we're closing this 2026 event, and next year is even better.
