I am a software engineer and after 5 years of hard study and a lot of work, trial and errors, I have created an efficient algorithmic software which trade for me on my own account since 2 years. It works very well : 150% return/year, very low risk, neutral beta, very good sharpe and sortino ratio, etc... In summary I have a good track record. Now I want to go further. However my account is "small" (I am a regular person doing a regular job in a regular company) and I don't know rich people around me. I do know well how to trade, but absolutely nothing about the trading business. Now, what is your advice for the next step ?
You might consider linking your account to fundseeder.com. If your stats are as good as you say they are, you will get noticed. You might even be featured in Jack Schwager's next book.
Nereto : Posting it ? Why not, it is just based on automation and common sense. Thx Al_Bundy for this advice. I create an account right now.
You might want to post your fundseeder stats when you have them. Then we can tell you whether your strategy is as good as you think it is. GAT
Do some research: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/fundseeder-my-experience.298394/ http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/fundseeder-opinions-useful-not-risk.294748/ http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/fundseeder.300306/ Personally, as a satisfied FS user, I'm pretty happy. But it's up to you. GAT
Could not have said it better myself. If you are returning 150% p.a. with low risk, why give a shit about outside money. Save. Trade your own. And indeed, STFU!!! With that sort of performance, your account will go to the moon post haste. Unless of course it's all a load of bollocks.
Your results, are they backtested results or actual trades? Typically anything over an average of 15% per year is suspect.
