What to expect after making 24% for a hedge fund co on their platform in less than ONE month

You didn't get it. I am not blindly buying anything, or in the hope of something. ONLY if there is a predefined pattern that can be profitable. Even with this leverage the whole portfolio was fluctuating not more than 1.0-1.5%.

Of course, there was some luck eventually, as I was going to get only about 8% by the end of the month as I told them.

Yes, I DO "get it." What was the "predefined pattern" that led you to believe AMZN would gap up 65 points? Did you make a comprehensive fundamental spreadsheet analysis based on earnings expectations that would justify the post-earnings valuation? In other words, what was your conviction to place such a concentrated bet on a single position?

Ok, so you thought you were going to get 8% and it ended up much more, which as you claimed was "some luck eventually."

What I wrote was you have to predict the exact move in after hours on a momentum stock over earnings such as AMZN, and it's always going to be after the fact hindsight 20/20. Some analysts are very good and can game the quarter, and thus the hedge funds make those type of bets.

If you could read this post http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index...de-volume-spike-detected.291111/#post-4115873 you can see how real strategies work. I published this just a day ago. And now the market just confirmed it.

So, why don't you guys take it seriously? I was serious when I started this post.

That's a nice chart, with a good volume spike to justify a buy point. However, it's not the same as AMZN, which you held over an earnings move, and which GAPPED in after hours, which is something not in your control.

I actually bought GLD on the prior move off when it retested close to the November 2014 low, on March 17th. I sold it on March 25th for a quick gain.

Look, I'm not downplaying your 24% gain, it's quite impressive. I think you have to consider the ramifications of making such a concentrated bet in a single position, especially over the number, that's all.

With every stock I am starting to analyze, I expect nothing. So only after combining all data it is clear what to do. AMZN had just a good potential as to buy and hold stock, but it happened just in one moment. I was sure that having two entry points I was on the safe side. Scenarios have adjusted for market uncertainty in a way.

this is AMZN for May (partial scenario, full is available at the links), check it out: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index...ess-than-one-month.291091/page-2#post-4115619

We all can see what will happen to it.
 
Look at what happened to TWTR, down almost 20% in after hours, and will open down tomorrow with a huge gap due to earnings. If a fund made a concentrated bet long over the number, then the result will speak for itself at tomorrow's open. This is why taking a large percentage of a portfolio and holding for the number on a momentum stock is dangerous.

I will produce price curve prediction for TWTR for May and make it available. check soon.
 
Track records are meaningless in the hedge fund world. You need a strategy that makes sense going into the future---

No interest in this type of trading. I doubt anyone will show interest. My suggestion would be to sell advice or just trade small naive investors monies. Maybe try collective 2. Sorry, but it just doesnt make sense and you are on the wrong track. surf

Contact Hedge Fund seeder companies. They are specialised in discovering emerging manager talent, they will perform deep due diligence on your strategy, account statements and perform multiple interviews to see if you are cut out for it. 1-2M is peanuts, maybe they start you out to test with that small amount, but will seed +10M if serious. Good luck with your endeavour.

@ALEXGOLD

Is this your personal trading account ? or in a actual hedge fund structure or at least hedge fund incubator structure ?

If you really did work at a bank trading equities for 7 years, you should have many contacts and people who believe in you to invest $.

I hear stories of people leaving banks, hedge funds and raising 9 figures before opening their fund.
