I don't what you mean, but as far as I know I haven't found anyone or any system that do exactly what I do. There are a few similarities I share with others as it makes since that there is a finite number of ways you can exploit the market. But as far as someone doing the same exact thing I'm doing, I doubt it. At best, maybe a few.Quote from AK100:
Are the 'trading secrets' you mention the ones the 'pros don't want you to know'?
Or is it a 'little known secret' that's recently been revealed?
I haven't thought about that as I didn't think anyone that big would want to invest. For one, I don't exactly have a one year track record. I would give it a try if there is a chance. So, you think some hedge fund or prop firm out there would actually want to take a chance? Where would I even go to find a list of who to contact?Quote from emg:
1) look for a Prop Firms. A standard prop firm will invest a minimum $50K
2) find private investors. For example. Citadel Investment Group is a large hedge fund founded by Kenneth Griffin. According to wikipedia:

southbeach4me,
I have to admit I think you might be the biggest idiot so far. Your sense of logic is very questionable. At least the other clowns don't even bother trying to sound intelligent.
Let take a look at collective2.com:
1) My system is discretionary as I have stated in the OP. It does not generate generate mechanical signals that a computer from the site can give to customers.
2) That site is very questionable. No trader with a good system would put it up on a website where the owner could potentially steal it.
3) If you actually believe that site has those 300% system, you are gullible. Why don't you go ahead and try them out if you think they are that good???
You can take a look at this ET thread about collective2 being a scam:
what's the deal with collective2? Is collective2 a huge scam?

btw, I took a look at your profile. I'm not surprised your wife would divorce a dumbass like you. I wouldn't be surprised if you turn out to be one of the 95% losers either.
you're the one who post it online. The system's been tested live so technically it's not 'sim'.Quote from southbeach4me:
haha, I divorced her(not thats its any of your business). Im self made and I dont go trolling around sites looking for capital, based on some phantom, sim system.
I already started a small account. The system is good, but it's the mental edge that is the current problem. Having a small account makes things a lot tougher. Most of my focus right now is on getting that mental confidence of not worrying about money. I've tried taking out small loans to trade before, and I decided I wouldn't want to do it again. I already have enough student loan debt that I'm not paying.Quote from Gubinec:
If your system is really that good that you're ready to sell it to other people with a clean conscience, then you shouldn't have a problem taking out a $700 cash advance from your credit card, and opening a futures account with Global Futures (afaik, only they accept funding below 2k).
I'm also pretty young and I had blown my account multiple times. I took a several thousand dollar cash advance on my cc. I blew it. I worked for 2 months as a sales clerk, just enough to put up with cc debt and open a new trading account. I opened a new account. I blew it again. I went back to work. Left again, opened an account. Etc,etc.
There's plenty of sources of capital you can find if you really need it and believe you can return it in a month.
Any trading system is fail from the start. There are no finite or infinite ways of making money in markets. There is only ONE way of making money in markets, and that is riding the trend. Trend is either up or down. Figure that out and become a trading success.

With a small account I would need something like a 1000% annual gain to make a good living. Tough to do and require huge amount of skills.
While if I had a 100,000 I could be satisfied with a 100% gain. 100% is much easier to accomplish then 1000%. And I want to make trading as easy on me as possible.
