How Does A Successful Trader Find Investors/Backing? Requesting Advice ?

Quote from Fast_Trader:

Have you tried contacting any proprietary trading firms? With a solid track record, perhaps they can back you with some firm capital

Are you aware of any proprietary trading firms that work with forex ? I don't know of any off hand.

Quote from zdreg:

you are not a proven winner. your base is too small to prove anything. there is no proof of scalability. invoking the name of jay gould as your handle is a turn off.

perhaps u should quit trading and work 3 jobs and then resume trading with the capital u have raised.

What do you think would be a capital base large enough to prove something ?

What are some auditors I could use ?

the only ones that matter start at 50k for basic.

Why not just sell your system on c2--the bulldog people here will show you how. SOme guys are making serious money there

By the way, no real investors would invest with a retail FX fund anyway, C2 or the bulldog is your only hope

Quote from jaygould:

The most I've ever drawn down is 3.5% using leverage of around 25X.
The most IB allows is 50X.
In theory I could pull a 600% yearly return with leverage of 250X assuming a 7.0% max drawdown which would mean 70% in practice with the leverage. Not the way I'd prefer to do things but doable.
Could I convince IB to up my leverage ? What I seem to be hearing is that this would be my only hope ?

*sigh*. Someone driving on a dark, icy, winding mountain road with no guard rails, thinks that the best way to get there, is to triple their speed...

You need to study "Risk of Ruin"

10000%+ Compound Annual Return.

I'm still waiting for specific names and contact information of managers that posted such returns.

You don't give up. OK!
I do not give out financial results, and this is a new system anyway. I will not give out name who contacted me, that is a matter of trust. I will show you what is possible. The image include two backtest run: left is nqz9, right is nqu9. That is end of it. I will not respond to any further inquiry on the matter.

This is outright absurd to put it in nice words. You would show more dignity and respect for others by just saying that your claim of fund managers posting a 10000% annual return was unfounded and without a glimpse of merit. Instead, you try to portray yourself as knowledgeable in an attempt to place your persona above others. Finally, you lower the bar even more by expecting others to believe in these bogus performance reports.

Next time show some humility and respect, and try not to underestimate the ability of others. If there is one lesson that you should take from all this is that the moment you underestimate your competitors (or the market) then the moment you will be taken to the cleaners is not too far away.
