traden (weak, third-person singular present tradet, past tense tradete, past participle getradet or getraded, auxiliary haben)

1. (finance) to trade, speculate
   • 2009 February 27, Markus Völker, quoting Thomas Fellmann, “Psychogramm eines Jungspekulanten: Fellmann macht Kasse”, in Die Tageszeitung: taz‎^[1], →ISSN:

     Wer gottgleich tradet, hat ganz schnell sein Geld verloren. Viele überschätzen sich gnadenlos und entwickeln eine Mentalität wie beim Pokern.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

• German verbs borrowed from English can optionally form the past participle (Partizip II) in -ed in two cases^[1]
  1. The English verb ends in a silent ⟨e⟩:

     English like → German liken → geliked (previously only gelikt)

  2. The verb's past participle is usually not inflected:

     English relax → German relaxen → relaxed (previously only relaxt)

• But -ed- is not permitted when the participle is inflected, thus:

  meine gelikten Bilder (not meine *gelikeden Bilder)

  ein relaxter Abend (not ein *relaxeder Abend)
