BOOK YOUR FREE STRATEGY SESSION NOW >>At Unger Academy®, we celebrate our students' tangible trading results every month. But some stories deserve more attention than others—like Maurizio's. For the second time, he’s been named “Trader of the Month,” earning €39,978 in April 2025 alone, which corresponds to an impressive +68.42% return on his initial capital, with a maximum drawdown of 7.91%.
Figure 1 - Maurizio’s April 2025 trading statement.
Of course, it’s not just about the numbers. Maurizio is a shining example of what it means to trust and consistently apply a systematic trading approach—after moving past common mistakes like manually interfering with trading systems.
He went through tough periods, including one of his worst drawdowns in early 2024, yet came back stronger. And he did it entirely through the work of his algorithms. His journey is a perfect example of what resilience in trading truly looks like.
Maurizio began live trading with automated systems in October 2022. Since then, he has achieved a total return of over +300%.
His latest “Trader of the Month” win was fueled by strategies from the Million Dollar Database—strategies that he fine-tuned and re-optimized himself. A key factor in his success? The complete absence of manual intervention—something that had previously harmed his systems' performance.
Although high returns often come with higher portfolio volatility and significant drawdowns, Maurizio has demonstrated exceptional mental and technical resilience. Despite experiencing one of his deepest drawdowns in early 2024, he fully recovered and reached new equity highs—all by letting his systems run without interference.
Maurizio’s approach involves a notably high tolerance for risk—so much so that it has occasionally triggered margin calls from his broker.
At Unger Academy®, we consider his risk level to be higher than what is advisable for the average student. That said, Maurizio has consistently weathered these difficult periods, fully recovering from drawdowns and reaching new equity highs.
He currently trades with seven live systems, four of which have been active over the past month, covering a variety of instruments including Forex, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Gold, Crude Oil, and Copper.
Maurizio credits part of his success to a fortunate start in live trading.
His number one piece of advice to new traders is to stay disciplined and avoid manual intervention—relying entirely on the automated execution of their systems.
April also saw several other students stand out with outstanding performances:
• Giovanni achieved an impressive +61.84% return with a contained drawdown of 5.72%.
• Andrea delivered a strong +50.15% return with a drawdown of 5.79%.
These results are no accident—they’re the outcome of method, education, and consistent practice. They reflect the growing quality of the Unger Academy® community, which is now more than ever made up of traders known for their discipline, preparation, and operational independence.

Maurizio isn’t just a "Trader of the Month"—he’s a living symbol of the transformation possible with the Unger Method™. From managing critical moments to building a resilient portfolio, his journey embodies the core values that define every educational path at our Academy: strategy, discipline, adaptability, and continuous improvement.
As Andrea Unger, the only 4-time World Trading Champion and founder of Unger Academy®, often reminds us:
"We don’t promise results. We provide the tools to achieve them."
Maurizio is one of the clearest examples of what can happen when those tools are applied with consistency and intelligence.

Andrea Unger here and I help retail traders to improve their trading, scientifically. I went from being a cog in the machine in a multinational company to the only 4-Time World Trading Champion in a little more than 10 years.
I've been a professional trader since 2001 and in 2008 I became World Champion using just 4 automated trading systems.
In 2015 I founded Unger Academy, where I teach my method of developing effecting trading strategies: a scientific, replicable and universal method, based on numbers and statistics, not hunches, which led me and my students to become Champions again and again.
Now I'm here to help you learn how to develop your own strategies, autonomously. This channel will help you improve your trading, know the markets better, and apply the scientific method to financial markets.
Becoming a trader is harder than you think, but if you have passion, will, and sufficient capital, you'll learn how to code and develop effective strategies, manage risk, and diversify a portfolio of trading systems to greatly improve your chances of becoming successful.
