What would have happened with €1,000
Over these 66 trading days, a bot following these rules would have made 104 day trades on 8 big US stocks/ETFs, and your €1,000 would be about €907.89. Just buying SPY (the S&P 500 ETF) and holding it would have left you with about €1,061.83. The strategy lost money and did worse than doing nothing clever.
With €1,000, most trades would only buy part of a share. Trading 212 supports fractional shares, so this is possible there, and the sizes in the log assume it.
Honest next steps
- Don't go live with this strategy. It lost money in testing.
- Paper-trade on the Trading 212 Practice account (virtual money) first, for at least several weeks.
- Test other ideas (other rules, fewer trades, longer holding periods), and compare each against simply holding an index fund.
- If you ever use real money: risk ≤1% per trade, set a daily loss limit, and only use money you can afford to lose.
- Remember that the US stocks are priced in dollars, so EUR/USD moves change your result too.
