How can i raise money?

:p

This is silly - except for the fact that OP states he is anonymous just asking a question.

I have been wrangling lately with many of the exact same issues.

Here is where I see possible discrepancies that would be helpful for the OP to clarify, in order to perhaps get some helpful suggestions.

A) Proven strategy/works well over time/little if any limitations (OP stated doesn't mind NOT going <i>huge</i>)/with some king of forward-test track record.

- that is great!

B) incredible monthly rate.

C) day job.

D) monitor markets overnight.

E) not inclined to start w/ family or w/ less than 100k

I understand that it may be meaningless to start with $100 or even $1,000 for a year or two since a larger sum would get you into larger account size much quicker.

BUT the math doesn't (imho) add up. <b>An average of say 15% can be compounded, right?</b>

To heck with taking money from the account to "pay bills"! Keep it invested and compound it. Work hard w/ your day job even though it may <b><i>seem</i></b> it is not worth it.

UNLESS YOU ARE HIDING SOMETHING?!?

I mean this with complete respect, but <b>you must know that $500 at a monthly rate of 15% will compound into a tidy sum as each month in the next year goes by?</b>

This will of course establish your audited real money result, build your confidence AND GET THE SUM YOU WANT TO QUIT YOUR JOB AND AFFORD TO MANAGE FULL-TIME.

Now I KNOW you considered Collective2.com, so just do the year's work and you will not need to answer to anyone.

If your strategy is to beat the dealer they will flag your account as you scale up and you will not be allowed to make money if your strategy cannot be hedged by the dealer. Be careful you dont have a strategy that will get shut down once the broker looks at your account.
 
I would make some calls if I were you about the S3, CTA, etc.,

Second, you need to pound the phones to raise assets. No, not cold call. Everyone you know needs to see what you do, and all you want to do is call them and say: "hey Joe/Jane. I need your help. I need your opinions on what I do, and want to meet with you at your house. When is best for you?"

Third, don't post returns on ET.

Bye the way, you need to be careful about advertising. That's a regulatory pet peeve they will pounce all over you on if you don't know what you're doing. Good luck!
 
hey, for now you dont need to be a CTA. You cna ust have your broker do some segregated account deal over which you have power of attorney and they have account access and youll be fine till they close up that forex loophole.
 
Quote from ligerny:

Your math is very poor! it actually comes to 300% annually at 25% a month assuming that you take profits at end of the month as well. Btw i said "10-25%" it ranges it's never the same each month. Compounding would indeed be more but hey i gotta pay bills don't i :)

You Math-Scholar you :)

if you print money like you say you do then just get your 10-15k and go to a prop firm
 
Exactly my point. The OP does sound like he has the necessary temperament (thick-skinned) to manage - yet my inquisition (although prefaced with respect) seemed to hit a nerve?

I meant that some much more helpful guidance (which is all he is seeking) could be better afforded once the mild discrepancy (ies) were clarified.

Too much bashing? Well if the strategy is like most hedge funds - a one to two year winner - of course we just want a big sum to "manage" for a short time.

Of course the hell w/ managing a small account on your own - because it can only get the huge success for that short period of time?

Me personally, all I can say is more power to the OP by going the typical route (that I am not familiar with: boiler room?) to get a quick large sum to back a one to two year play (that <i>may</i> lead to a HUGE sum, where of course the OP - again may - extract a quick $1M from the return, before blow-up). But with what OP stated (imo) entirely not necessary. hmmmm

pay$

Again, not bashing - although I KNOW my temperament is without consideration - after all I am typing this while three contracts are on at the open, lol!

(and I do have a long term system (audited at Collective2.com) with a <i>huge</i> Calmar ratio,

:)

Actually your clueless! 10-25% is bad? When you can sustain that momentum and it compounds you do extremely well.

You just proved my point that you are clueless....enough said.
 
Quote from ligerny:My family is too annoying(like most) plus i have a rule in business, no family or friends, less problems and headaches this way plus what happens if they need to take out money? Equity changes all of a sudden doesn't it. I rather deal with third parties that invest long term.

See that's the whole problem. You'd prefer to not gamble with the money of people you know and that trust you (friends and family) but you expect people who have never met you nor know you (3rd parties) to trust and invest with you (a newcomer with no track record) for the "long term".

Rich people may be dumb, but not as dumb as you think.
