I think I have a winning strategy. What can I do with it?

Where did you get the data for your 50 years of back testing? I did 10 years because that was all I could find (I got data from quandl).

No dividend stocks mostly futures for whatever that's worth.

I realize 1 year of trading isn't enough to declare this will work forever but I'm wondering just how much data I need to actually convince people.

how were the stats on the 10 year backtest?
 
Hedge funds - family offices to name just a couple. The people who actually run a portfolio. Not the folks like RIAs who simply manage a portfolio of assets someone else manages.

I've found a strategy that seems to work really well. I've been trading it for the past year with excellent results (about 40% return, 10% max drawdown) and it also works well in all the backtests that I've done. It's a mostly passive strategy, following just a few simple rules, holding 3-4 positions for about 6 months at a time on average. I feel like it would work well for other investors but I'm not sure what form would be best.

I thought of starting a mutual fund, but I don't think I have enough capital or the reputation for that. I thought of prop trading, but that seems mostly oriented towards day traders. I thought of doing a 'friends and family' investment advisor account, but I don't know anyone personally that could or would want to invest enough to be worthwhile.

Am I missing something obvious? I feel like I have a strategy that crushes any mainstream mutual fund/etf, but there's no way for me to offer it to regular investors.

Why not just trade yourself into early retirement? If you only start with £5k and compound your winnings, you'll still become a millionaire. Trading is easy work and your system is low risk, and you'll be boss of your own business. And who else that you know could simply decide to be a millionaire one day?

This is fantastic ! So I am not alone. I have discovered something very similar. I was thinking there is maybe something wrong with my strategy, because it is almost too good to be true. But I have created a genius system that already made me some money, so I really think now it is time that I manage some other peeples money and start my own investment fund company, ok ?

It seems my edge in the market is so strong, I can even tell you the system, it wont hurt my performance. Ok so listen, this is it:

Every monday morning, I buy shares of GOOG, FB, NFLX and AMZN. And then, and this is the important part, I sell them again on friday afternoon, ok ? The following monday I just start buying again. Monday buy, friday sell, rinse and repeat. You got it ? Got it !

This system is robust as shit, I have backtested it 1 year and even 5 years, ok ? I know it seems too good to be true but it is true. :cool:

Ok guys, now that I gave you so much help, you can maybe help me with a name for the investment fund that I will set up for this system... be creative, be like water, and give me a supercool name for my system and the fund that I will set up, you know I am great with maths, but not so good with marketing, ok ?

Wish you all a damn good day, yeah, and probably see you all soon in Monaco ! Ok ?

As you've back-tested over 5 years, what would have made you select these stocks 5 years ago? What criteria would you select to choose the next set of stocks like these?

What do you mean ? I have 4 stocks now, ok ? And a robust, backtested edge. Ok ? What more do I need, why should I bother about another set of stocks ? I have better stuff to do now... 1.) start managing a fund as a fund manager, managing other peeples money. 2.) Thinking about which yacht I should buy soon.

Really, all you need to remember is what I call now MBFS... this is like my supersecret nuclear power formula, ok ? What does it mean ? It means: Monday Buy, Friday Sell ! Wow, I should just name my investment fund after that ! The MBFS capital management fund, ok ?

Can you stop? You've posted a bunch of really sarcastic responses already. One is enough. I realize that this industry is full of scammers and that it's possible I'm totally wrong. But you've more than made that point.
