An experienced trader that is already profitable would use OP's account to try something riskier; maybe that is what is all about . It is well known that when people trade with others' accounts they perform better as the fear to lose is removed. I think that is the plan all along, give an experienced trader a better environment to trade.
If anyone is to lose here that would be OP.
Poker is a much fairer game. Stock market is rigged against the small retail. Way too much manipulation and p&d pyramid schemes going on its easy to get caught at the wrong end. I think there are many capable traders out there that are undercapitalized and would have a higher chance of success with a proper bankroll. But yeah, it will be more difficult than finding capable horses in poker.I rarely get involved in such discussions, but I feel I can contribute slightly.
1. Most traders that trade successfully, wouldn't waste their time even for a $5k freeroll (if they're already in the market).
2. You're better off putting that kind of sums in to SPXL or TQQQ for the next few years - doubt after split many will achieve better results for you.
3. You have the right idea in staking, but I suggest with that kind of funds, you'll get much better ROI if you stake proven poker players with verifiable results.
Good luck!!!
Hello everyone,
I have this business idea and would like to have some feedbacks on this.
I would like to allocate $10k on 5 sub accounts under my IB account in which 5 traders will trade them on behalf. Profit sharing will be structured as 50/50 after withholding tax liability. Profit will be paid out on a monthly basis for realized gains / high water mark.
While 5 accounts are up and running, I plan to raise capital to put more fund in.
Please let me know.
Thanks
