Getting Started with NimasLab
Not financial advice. I am not a licensed financial advisor. Everything here is for informational and educational purposes only. Always do your own research before making any financial decisions.
Welcome to NimasLab — a platform where you can follow a real, long-term investment journey with real money. Not a demo account, not a simulation — actual capital, tracked publicly. I called it NimasLab because it feels like a place to run experiments and see what the results look like.
My Philosophy
Four pillars drive every decision I make here:
- Full Transparency — I show everything, including losses
- Risk Management — Proper position sizing and diversification at all times
- Long-term Focus — Value investing over years, not day trading
- Diversification — Uncorrelated investments across different assets and sectors
I'm not here to impress anyone. I'm sharing the process. The results will speak for themselves in time.

The Portfolios
NimasFund
NimasFund is a NAV-based family fund — a way to pool capital from multiple people into one investment vehicle, tracked like a professional fund.
Instead of tracking euro values per person, we issue units. Each unit started at €10 and its price goes up or down with the underlying assets. When someone adds capital, they buy units at the current price — exactly like buying into a fund. This means adding money doesn't dilute existing holders, and everyone's performance is tracked fairly from the moment they joined.
The NAV Tracker shows unit price history over time, total fund value, and each owner's stake. The Allocation chart shows exactly where the fund's capital is deployed right now.
Subsidiary Fund — Nima
Alongside NimasFund, I also track my personal portfolio (Nima) separately. Nima's portfolio has been running the longest — I'll be honest, when I started it I was completely naive: no risk management, no thought about uncorrelated investments. It's in here because I want a full record of what I have done.
Derivatives Trading Journal
This part exists mostly for fun and — let's call it dopamine. Almost a hundred percent of my focus is on the long-term investment side. The derivatives journal is a small side activity tracked here for accountability. Good trades and bad trades, all included, no filtering.
The Bubble Chart is public and shows all closed trades at a glance: X axis = risk %, Y axis = realized P&L in R-multiples, bubble size = how long the trade was held.
The Market Page
The Market page gives a quick snapshot of what's happening:
- Live Ticker Tape — real-time prices of assets I follow (crypto, metals, equities)
- Fear & Greed Index — market sentiment indicator; extreme fear has historically been a buying opportunity, extreme greed a reason for caution
- My Watchlist — browse all assets I track by category, click any to get TradingView Symbol Info and a company profile; you can also type any custom ticker (e.g.
NASDAQ:TSLA)
The Analysis Tools
The Analysis section contains financial tools I built for myself and decided to make public.
Trading Calculators
- R/R Breakeven Calculator — what's the minimum win rate you need to be profitable at a given reward-to-risk ratio?
- Position Return on Capital — if you risk 1% of your capital and the trade gains 120% on the position, what does that mean for your overall account?
- Tax Breakeven Calculator — after paying 26.375% capital gains tax in Germany, how much does a stock price need to drop before you can rebuy the same number of shares?
Housing Market Analysis
A detailed rent vs. buy comparison built for the German market. Two approaches compared side by side: wealth maximisation as a renter vs. the classic mortgage path as a buyer.
Regular Reports
Roughly every two weeks I update the portfolio data and publish a report on YouTube covering: what I bought, what I sold, any take-profit moves, and the reasoning behind each decision. The goal is a transparent, trackable record of performance over time — not just where the portfolio is today, but how it got there.
