    Thank you for your post. BTW: Your quote "Seek in all the wrong places =find all the wrong stuff" so applies to trading systems! :) Doesn't it. :)

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Okay last time. Yes I have done these things. TS is new to us. Before that, we build EVERYTHING in house. A little while ago, we looked into Tradestation as a way to streamline operations and get ideas faster to market. We first tested stupid strategies to get used to EasyLanguage. This is...

    That was not the case. We are not idiots. We spent weeks with this person talking, analyzing, meeting, presenting. I cannot go into the details as to why it didn't work, but we are smart enough to know it wouldn't have. We are not amateurs. Our company and ideas was actually started from a...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Why is it so difficult for some people to understand my situation? Our 100% monthly return IS NOT SCALABLE. It makes a fixed amount of money NO MATTER THE CAPITAL. We use the 100% return based on the fact that we use the minimum capital needed to run it at optimal profitability, hence NOT...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    First off, we are open to all arrangements. We realize that any investor will do their due dilligence. We would if it were us. This person came out and said that he was not interested in our company, but merely was looking for a hobby. That to us is not a good arrangement. Trust me, I am...

    It just cannot. I'm sorry, but the answers are proprietary.

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    "Let me see if I have this straight: First, your main system is focused on equities, and yet it is not scalable? Second, you make 300 trades a day with your main system, which generates 100% per month, yet this is only enough to pay your overhead? Yet the pattern day trade rules would...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Early on we researched that road. Banks do not loan businesses like ours money because it is too high risk. They don't care about performance reports. Trading is considered high risk.

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    It's funny, but we have had offers from "rich people who know nothing about trading" and we have declined. It's not arrogance on our part at all. We would do it if the relationship was right, but it wasn't. We had one scenario where we could have had our money(ALOT OF MONEY), but there was a...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Thank you for your thoughts. I can't ask employees to do that. Too risky. And the amount of money we want for growth is a little higher than that of credit cards. No conventional establishment will loan us money based on our type of business.

    We are focusing on one idea at a time. We are spread thin, but the programmers are focused on one system design right now. It's pretty nice. They get pulled off for maintenance all the time and that's an issue. One problem with a main system that carries a company is that sometimes it...

    I agree. You are missing something here: System maintenance. We have 2 programmers. One is fluent in Windows, the other in Unix/Linux. Our main system houses both platforms and requires maintenance all the time, whether it be clearing, OATS or feeds or what have you. We need one of each on...

    Thanks for the reply. We are running at the bare minimum with traders and programmers. We actually want to add to our staff with everything we have on our plate. So many good things, so little time with the staff on hand.

    We have a couple setups in NY as far as brokers and are using Tradestation to run our Futures systems(ES, NQ,YM,YH,YG,ER2). The brokers actually run our custom built software for the equities side. We are just cash poor and spread it thin all over. If we had the cap, we could grow faster and...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Please excuse me for seeming so irritated. It's just that the work that our company has done is work that we all have sacrified so much for. We are all very passionate about what we do and have for years been driven by that passion to build profitable trading systems. We eat, think and...

    And to add, you are so busy attempting to prove me wrong that you are not understanding that we have ONE system that yields 100% per month. All the others are slower more scalable systems that reach 100 to 200% return per year. They take more capital to be effective, which we do not have. So...

    You are not getting it and I am done explaining. The fact is that you are so busy trying to prove me wrong that you are just not getting it at all so I am done explaining it. Our main system has the highest return on the cap we have available and that basically breaks us even, leaving no more...
