About: Robert Rother

Thirty Years. Still Trading.

Robert Rother

I'm Robert Rother: more than 30 years in the markets. At times I traded dozens of funded accounts. Many accounts do not make the rules any less important — every challenge has its own contract and its own limits.

Fifteen years in Asia, a business with at times 156 million US dollars in client capital, and 2,770 days in prison: my story is not a straight line. I tell the restart in Drachenjahre, my only official book and a SPIEGEL bestseller.

I am an official Bookmap Educator. Through GEMS4GENS INC. I operate Iceberg Funding and the Iceberg Method community. Iceberg Strategies is a separate B2B offering as a strategy provider for asset managers.

My path. Not a straight chart.

Six stops from the publicly documented story — without invented dates or promises of success.

  1. Origins

    Ruhr region

    I grew up in Germany’s Ruhr region. That is the start of my story, not a reason to recommend a purchase.

  2. 15 years in Asia

    Asia and $156M

    Shanghai and the business in Asia: at times 156 million US dollars in client capital. That is historical client capital, not today’s funding capital or a performance figure.

  3. Prison

    2,770 days

    2,770 days in prison are part of the story told in public. A break in a résumé is not a marketing badge for trading.

  4. SPIEGEL bestseller

    Drachenjahre

    My only official book tells this story and the restart.

  5. Official educator

    Bookmap

    Explaining order flow and market mechanics. A professional role, not a promise of profit.

  6. Founder and operator

    Iceberg Funding

    A brand of GEMS4GENS INC.; assessments by Prop Account, LLC. Simulated evaluations, separate from education and community.

What my story tells you — and what it does not

I have spent more than 30 years in the markets and at times traded dozens of funded accounts. That is experience, not a shortcut through your contract and not a guarantee of success. A large part of this site is therefore about rules, measurement points, and contractual roles rather than result screenshots.

Drachenjahre is my only official book and a SPIEGEL bestseller. It tells my story; it is neither a trading signal nor proof that a challenge is right for you. As an official Bookmap Educator I work with order flow — that does not become a personal trading recommendation here.

Today I operate Iceberg Funding as a brand of GEMS4GENS INC. The assessments are provided by Prop Account, LLC; they are simulated. Education and community are separate. A site run by the operator is not neutral. You should know who is speaking and who earns from a purchase.

Conflict of interest

I operate Iceberg Funding myself and may earn from affiliate purchases at other firms. I trade at Bulenox and IQ Capital myself and am an affiliate. Paid cooperation does not automatically make a review positive. Read my texts with this conflict of interest in mind.
