Find Your Edge
Melle van 't Wout × TradeZero
Short-track speed skater. 2026 gold medallist.
Self-directed trader. The edge you build when no one
is watching is the edge you have when it counts.
Perseverance
Built in discipline. Proven by the podium.
A 2024 knee injury put Melle’s career on hold: surgery, rehab, and months of uncertainty. Few expected him to return in time for Milan-Cortina 2026. He did.
On his 26th birthday, Melle won silver in the 500m, sharing the podium with his brother Jens. Three days later, he was instrumental in the Netherlands’ first-ever Olympic gold in the men's relay.
His edge was not talent alone. It was discipline, preparation, and the right tools around him. The same principles that are central to TradeZero.
Melle Training Account – Paper Trading
Preparation starts before the trade.
In elite sport, preparation happens long before the moment counts. Melle's comeback was built through repetition, routine, and discipline, the same mindset that matters when learning how markets move.
The Melle Training Account is a Paper Trading account that lets you apply that mindset in a risk-free, simulated trading environment. Practice entries, review opportunities, and manage positions for up to 30 days before trading with real capital.

Why Melle x TradeZero
A four-year partnership built on preparation.
TradeZero’s partnership with Melle runs through 2030. This is not a one-off campaign. It is a long-term partnership built around shared values: preparation, focus, discipline, resilience and continuous improvement.
Melle’s story is not only about medals. It is about the work behind them: recovery, training, routines, taking calculated risk and learning how to stay prepared when the moment comes.
That same mindset also shaped his interest in trading. During his recovery, trading became a way to channel focus, build financial literacy and prepare for life beyond sport.
Over the coming years, TradeZero and Melle will create content around the habits, routines and tools that support performance — on the ice and in the markets.
