My job is holding me back

If a hedge fund reached out to you tomorow and wanted to hire you with a starting salary of 300k but first they needed to see how well or poorly you did in 2022 how are you going to show them?

That is not how hedge funds reach out to a retail trader.

A college-educated retail trader will need to apply for a job at a hedge fund or institutional trading firm just like everyone else. It will be the education (academic) background that gets the college-educated retail trader's foot in the door before they'll look at the trading background if any.

You'll be competing against professional institutional traders that are well educated with job experience of trading millions of dollars but looking for a new job/new firm for whatever reason or you will be competing with those that the hedge fund is offering a position to someone at another professional trading firm to try to get them to leave their current trading position to go work (most likely relocate) for the hedge fund.

Of course they're not.I was just trying to make a point to Cocinnity he needs to keep track in some way how well or poorly he is doing in his trading/investing.

I see where you are going,but that is not how hedge funds look at it..

Decent metric,but a small peice to the puzzle...

Go look for money (for shits and giggle),and the first 2 questions asked will be rate of return and worst drawdown( maybe peak to trough)...

I have though, actually know someone who runs a hedge fund. I already have someone joining me as well to assist in what I am doing, that is far larger than I am. You guys have all the answers, I know. So I wouldn't come on here if I didn't already have some things rolling.

You guys are just a bunch of negative nancy's and act like you know everything. Seriously not trying to be rude, but you're telling me how things are and to "go try it" when in the real world I already have and am doing it. So it's some what of a joke you saying this like you know. No offence.

I haven't read the whole thread, but you want to work and trade. So that's either Day Trade Futures, Crypto or Asia or Europe before or after work, or Swing Trade with trailing Stops

Yep, earning 6k per day Day Trading sounds pretty Elite. I'd like to see proof.

You come around every month or so for a couple of days with the same old nonsense. You and that other limp piker, Laissez faire, offering your expert analysis then when shit goes against you, it’s excuse time. A day or two later you’re sniffing around the topstep forum. Rinse and repeat.

You aren't even reading my full post, neither you nor tao or whatever. Do you even actually actively day trade? I don't want to debate with trolls man, it's not a good use of my time.

What was the timeline that you are making 1-2k off of 50k?

Eventually as a full trader you have to make exponential gains to just keep up with inflation. Unless you want to make less and less every year (after inflation).

So at the least, 5% exponential gains per year is the minimum.

Increasing at or comfortably above inflation rate is not the same as exponential.
