How to fund a successful strategy?

[BuzzTrader]

So if you notice, I'm not begging for money, I'm appealing to a forum of experts for advice and suggestions on how to do something. And if you look at my other responses you will see that for people with no money, starting a trade has some barriers to entry.

Yeah so I always get a bit suspicious if one advertises himself in the title with 'How to fund X' and 'I have successful strategy Y'. Good luck on your trading.

Well, I didn't exactly ask for money, just looking for suggestions on a way to launch a strategy when I don't have many resources. It is long/short and requires high leverage which makes it some what prohibitive since hard for poor people to get margin account.

Crypto has no barrier and you can get up as far as 100x leverage, but you already know this.

I am US citizen and all exchanges with ample liquidity are KYC. If anyone is interested in just partnering on the account, like give me access to a verified bybit or binance account, I will get the cash myself and share profits..no work from you required.

I will absolutely kill it on crypto perps with this strategy.
I know that market well.

Requires 15min and 5min data, avg 1.5 trades a day on equities. By latency I assume you mean penalty from being scalped by HFT in order execution. This I don't know and I don't currently have a data based method to discover this although working on it seems interesting. Hold time is usually a few hours, so it can hold overnight and that cost has been considered. All slippage, fees and margin costs have been considered.

So, let me get this straight. You need 200x leverage and you hold overnight?

What happens if you get a 0.5% gap with no filll during illiquid times?

You do realize that whenever there's a force majeure and you are on the wrong side then you won't get a fill you expect?

Won't go into it publicly, but unfortunately I have developed a disability that makes it not possible for me to work a steady job like that, which is a main reason I started working on a fully automated strategy to begin with.

Ideally I would love to sell the strategy and tech off and collect a royalty of some kind and keep myself available for improvements and patches. I don't even know if that's a thing.

You work as a freelance programmer, you work from home and choose which jobs you take and which you don't.

Sorry to hear. Good luck on your road though

I have developed an automated strategy that outperforms the underlying asset in all of the most heavily traded cryptos, currency pairs and stocks. I am also a poor statistician, with no money or connections. What I am great at is writing unbiased back-tests. But I'm kind of a hermit who has no idea how to monetize this idea. Can anyone offer any help, advice or have interest in discussing making this a reality? I've gone about as far as I can go, alone, with cheap data and a laptop.

Historic performance expectancy ratios of .5 to 2 in crypto and .2 to .3 in forex and stocks. I also have confirmed the real time algorithm matches the back-tested algo. The only constraint is liquidity, which is a problem I would love to have. It's appalling simple.

The problem with backtest is this: Many trade fillings won't happened cause market dynamics mainly, and they will always be the winners trades of course. When you see the actual results in real-time, you'll realized that wont match with theorics results.
I've been working in this problem for a long time and there're simply many many trades that are just impossible.

Sugestion: program at least your backtest, to fill all trades a little bit later after the signal triggers. It can vary depending on the market you're working in.
