Would you lease an automated trading system

Quote from dom993:

I am evaluating a couple of options to monetize my trading system while I trade it live - one of these options being to offer the Ninja strategy for lease.

I have the following questions for you:

1. "Would you ever lease an automated trading system"?

if it doesn't make any money for you then of course lease it, otherwise why would you ever do it? given that you're using ninja I guess it's the former.

I lease my strategies for a cut of the profits. The reason is because I am not comfortable with the maximum level of risk; I'd rather let someone take the risk and just take a cut after the fact.

You could argue that this is stupid -- however, my personal financial situation couldn't withstand a tail-risk event (at maximum, saturation level of operation) whereas the guy doing the lease can. I can't afford a hit; they can.

I should add that I can terminate the lease, but there's no need to as I see the situation as win-win. The relationship also frees me up to do R&D and lets me collect a check without the pressure of having to worry about a max-levered bad bet. The strategy runs at saturation (no more liquidity can be had.)

Yep, still in the process of doing that ... they charge $20 comm. per contract per round-turn to their customers leasing systems (intraday systems, it is $30 for swing systems & $40 for position systems), and the customers have to pay the system designer the monthly lease on top of that. Depending on the year, this could chew 25% to 50% of the system result for the customer. I don't really like it.
