If a fully automated system produces an average 10% return per year over ten years but the worst drawdown was 20%...would that be attractive to potential investors?

'fold up' meaning cease to exist? or simply stop trading?

thanks for all the input! Really?! wow 70% seems like a lot. That fund must have VERY loyal investors or have them locked in for X amount of years. ripley...exactly what kind of 'trend following' were they doing? in the futures markets?

ha thanks! Seriously though...

Hello elitetraders! Question... what is the maximum acceptable drawdown for a hedge fund?

"ok, suppose I have 2 years track record trading my own money, performance something like 70%-100% ann. Where and How can I advertise my performance to attract clients? starting a fund itslef doesn't looks too expensive today" Ok that is all well and good...but that performance most...

haha...well yes I can understand your concerns. I am indeed a new trader and I look forward to participating with you all.

I too, paid the even heftier fee of 10K! However, I'm glad to report that it is well worth the price. He has really been great guiding me through and has truly made me a successful trader. He doesn't take on that many students which might explain why he's not all over the message boards. Anyway...
