>> Go trade your own capital and come back in 2026.

I'll never in any circumstance hire a guy like you and if you'd have read my post carefully you'd have figured I'm not asking but giving.
My only problem is that I don't know who's behind that "prc117f" imbecile nickname but that's no problem.
You won't get past me when you apply for a job.

Where's your 10 years record? Can you explain in rectal exam painful detail your risk management philosophy?
Thanks but no thanks and if ever, come back in 10 years. A**le!

Do you backtest before going live with a (new) strategy?

Do you use some own-written or commercial software to scan for opportunities according to your rules?

I've written my own backtesting stuff and have been experimenting with it since a long while. There's no point going live randomly and the experience of backtesting was merciless on my naive theoretical assumptions. But over time it got better and better until right now the tests make some 50% per year, before commissions. After that, I'm still left with some 30%.

I'm gonna start live with this version and continue to research into ways of improving the return and risk. It's not impossible and I've got even some pretty wild ideas as you may have noticed on the OTC thread

Anyways, on the long run I'm thinking on associating myself with someone with whom I can discuss models, strategies and business. Of course I wanna grow this up at least to an investment advisor business.

Was wondering if someone around here would be interested. This is a tricky thing though, as I definitely don't wanna associate with the wolf, i.e. someone already working for or as an investment advisor, so he can nicely take my hard-earned knowledge and walk away.

It'd be a long term issue to build trust and they'd have to offer an equal amount to what I'm offering in terms of knowledge and capital.

I have been writing, scanning, and back testing trading program code since 2001. I have about 200 strategies written in TradeStation's Easy Language All of them have been profitable at one time or another. I am not associated with any broker at the moment, though I did have a Series 7 license a few years ago.

What have you done recently, and what do you have in mind?
