Is 10% of profit enough

Instead of 2/20, the 1/10 structure for incentive accounts makes much more sense.

If they are giving 0/10, then make sure to ask for some fixed couple hundred bucks monthly from each account, as getting extra technology/help to have an "operationally" very efficient trading desk will definitely help both parties in the longer term.

Although after a hurdle of say 15-20% returns you can ask for incentive to be raised to 20%.
 
what is required? I'd like to keep this as simple as possible. Earn 10 bucks, i get a buck...
You're just not providing enough information to help. I don't know what the asset classes is,I don't know what you're trading strategies is, I don't know how much a AUM you're being offered or what your projected earnings are ...::
 
Associates have offered me 10% of profit to trade their account

Is that enough?

See how things work out for you, and your associates.

If you are truly good...then I don't see why you can't ask for a bigger share of the profit pie, o_O
The bargaining chips have slightly moved in your favor now,

But chances are, you are basically Average (if not piss poor) -- no offense, just reality.
...nothing to get excited about,

Trading is a finicky and fickle business;
The magical words of 'Past performance is no guarantee of the future'...are ever so golden...and I hope your associates are well aware of this.

I'm just starting out trading other peoples money. For 3 months i did it for free and they see the value compared to professionally managed account, we agreed on 10% of profit.

What if they sue you for losses?
