Algo trading : 150% return/year. Now what is the next step ?

[lawrence-lugar]

after 5 years of hard study and a lot of work, trial and errors, I have created an efficient algorithmic software which trade for me on my own account since 2 years.
It works very well : 150% return/year, very low risk, neutral beta, very good sharpe and sortino ratio, etc... In summary I have a good track record.

Now I want to go further. However my account is "small" (I am a regular person doing a regular job in a regular company)

How "small" is your account...there's nothing wrong with small accounts -- alot of great traders started with relatively tiny accounts.
Why are you asking for money...is it a requirement for your system to have a certain amount of money in it?

A 150% claim is a very, very small elite club (no pun intended) ...anyone who makes such a claim are usually kind of ridiculed.
...You can even make much more than that, depending on what you trade and how much risk you take on.
A two year real world sample is nothing...I'd say you need a minimum of five.

However my account is "small"

How small were these based on?

Sell your account to a more experienced, yet less technically boiled.

Fundseeder asks me to give my broker account number. I wonder if it is a good idea...

That's how it's designed to work. To evaluate your performance, they need to calculate the stats on your risk and returns. The access that they get to your brokerage account is a non-trading access. You can think of them as an auditor.

C2 will want (theoretical) trading access to your account. Personally I'd be paranoid about that.

That's only if you want your account auto traded. Or if you want to become a certified vendor.

150%, low risk, just borrow 50K on credit cards then:

50K (Starting capital)
125K (year 1)
312.5K (year 2)
781K (year 3)

You will have no problem beating the 30% interest on the cards.

Ofcourse you think your system makes 150% with low risk,you will be lucky to make even 15% a year with low risk going forward.

150% means after 1 year, you'll turn 10,000 into $25,000. The second year it would be $62,500. Year 3 is $156,250. So, what exactly do you mean by what your next steps are?

Now I want to go further. However my account is "small" (I am a regular person doing a regular job in a regular company) and I don't know rich people around me.

I do know well how to trade, but absolutely nothing about the trading business.

Now, what is your advice for the next step ?
