Maybe it can help them, if there strategy is scalable. If it doesn’t effect their edge, it can be an opportunity for them to make money. You don’t have to be a wise guy… you are probably better off trading solo

I'm looking for an edge - I can share a percentage of my profits
- Thread starter trader30
- Start date
Day trading, swing trading, position trading?
I have to assume position trading based on SEC filings.
How has the market changing made trading harder?
The problem with an edge is this: If you didn't do the work around that edge to develop it...its not really going to benefit you. Your thread is akin to asking a brain surgeon..."yo! tell me how to operate on a brain tumor so i can do it myself...ill give you half the money i collect". If you didnt put the grueling hours into studying and practicing...you'll kill everyone you touch just like you are going to kill your account.
For a long time I did not think that a true "edge" was available to most people as my definition was essentially exploiting some type of mispricing in the market...whether arb or options mispricing from some type of complicated volatility model you developed etc...But now i understand an edge is simply just shifting the odds into your favor...and there are many ways to do that. But it needs to be unique to you and that comes from hard work to back test your ideas and finding a few setups in price action that you can trade very well.
I highly recommend you look into a guy names Adam grimes. he put together a free course that is damn good, too good really to be giving it away for free. Its still work though, he gives homework on top of the modules and if you don't do them...or any of the work required to be successful...you deserve to lose money.

Why would a successful trader want to mentor you and have some of your profits?
Why would a mentor subject himself to be tormented by the trainee
(as 90% of the traders cannot make it)?
A successful trader can trade using his own capital
and he can profit from his own trading.
He doesn't need extra income.
Unlike trading stocks,
trading derivatives don't need huge capital.

Make me an offer.
Would if a mentor can make an extra $100k?.... That can be a lot of money for some... sorry, not everyone is a baller like you.
Yes, most traders won't make it. It would be up to the mentor if it's work the risk.
I get that it's not worth it to a lot of successful traders but it's also silly to act like this is charity.

I can't make an offer without knowing anything about you or your trading. I am open to speaking with anyone. Believe it or not, I want this to be mutually beneficial.
It is not worth it to ANYBODY! You are asking someone to invest in you, with no equity return until there is a profit! The equity they are investing is their TIME, and if you keep losing, the mentor loses as well.
So when the mentor finally gets you into profit, you are willing to share some of THEIR hard work with THEM. Don't you see the problem with this proposition?
This is not how business works. You are backwards on the idea.
Okay. If I was the mentor, I would most likely prefer profits based on my trading history, size, etc. I am open to paying cash if that is preferred instead.
