Sourcing as the norm
Every claim about fees, returns or regulation is tied to a verifiable source: the AFM register, the broker ToS, or the public track record of the named trader.

Understanding Bitcoin ETF Options: A Guide for Dutch Investors
Strategies documented
Beginner 1 day - 1 week
1% Risk Rule
Never risk more than 1% of your total trading capital on a single trade. A position-sizing rule, not a method for making profit.
Advanced Minutes to hours
Arbitrage Between Centralised and Decentralised Crypto Exchanges
Use price differences between a centralised crypto exchange (CEX) and a decentralised exchange (DEX). Technical, highly competitive and not risk-free: costs and execution decide whether anything is left.
Intermediate Days to weeks
Breakout Strategy with Volume Confirmation
Proven by · Mark Minervini
Buy a stock that breaks through resistance on high volume after a quiet consolidation, with a stop-loss set in advance. False breakouts are common.
Beginner 10+ years
Buy and Hold with Index Funds
Proven by · John C. Bogle
Invest regularly in a broadly diversified, low-cost index fund and hold it for the long term. Simple, but value can swing sharply and you can lose money.
Advanced Months
Chasing Airdrops in DeFi
Use new crypto applications in the hope of later receiving tokens at no charge. High risk: payout is not promised, costs are certain and tokens can fall quickly in value.
Beginner Months to years
Crypto Staking: Rewards and Risks
Locking up crypto to help secure a network and receive a variable reward for it. The reward is not fixed and you bear price, technical and provider risk.

Three editorial principles
since 2024II.
Dutch as the starting point
AFM, DNB, iDEAL, SEPA and Box 3 are not a translation afterthought — they are the frame. The English and Spanish editions run alongside, not ahead.

III.
No fake gurus
The strategies here come from traders with a public, verifiable track record — Buffett, Lynch, Soros, Dalio — not anonymous Discord admins.
