    Either is he trying sucker "naives" into a trap or he does not know the headaches of trading other people's money.

  3. @ETFandAlgo You will not find investor here or even anybody interested.Back test is not enough,you need live trades and if you have the goodies it maybe wiser for you to go to prop firm.I've heard of one guy in Dublin who runs a Prop firm,he studied in Moscow so you may have find a common ground and he will talk to you.

    This is his linkedin Jason Berry

    and a firm http://positive.ie/category/who-we-are/

    You may also spread your risk and at the same time contact this firm.

    Irish are alright,they will do business if you are profitable.I don't know these firms,my reply to you is based on the fact that myself i am from Eastern Europe and i am somehow familiar with the difficulties ahead of you.

    It is all about you and the profitability,that is actually a good part.If you can match your profit chart with live trading you will find other solutions.Even antagonism can be a good thing,you are in control.If you have the methodology and make money things will sort itself out,patience.

    Good luck to you

    @Overnight trying to provoke me LOL.You lost all the credibility when Zzzz1 pointed out something and you run like a little kid and closed your journal.
    How do you trade,where is the composure,ability to handle pressure,confidence
    If you read the link it explains why you can type copyright sign,extended ASCII and why both are correct as one of them comes from days of typewriter.
    Good luck to you too

  4. Thanks for the links. I will contact myriad.ie because they trade the largest range of instruments, not just futures. But I will continue to do what I started. I do not expect quick results. Good luck to you too. I will be glad to see you in my journal.

    Did you use much more leverage to live trade your equity strategy? because I saw 17% APR on the WL report. Nice looking curves anyhow.

  6. Without reinvestment, this metric is considered incorrect. For a correct calculation without reinvestment, you need to divide the profit by the number of years. The result is divided into initial capital. Still need to understand that the broker does not give all the stock in short, so the real results will be worse. If the capital for this strategy is 100k, then in the trade I will invest 8K.

  7. I target all the strategies for a return of 40%. Based on this, I select the trading volume for each strategy. For shares, this is 8% of capital.

  8. For VXX it is 70% of the capital.
    For Gold, this is 4 leverage.

    So 8% position sizing. I suppose you need to have a liquidity formula if you want to attract big investors, any fixed/percentage size won't do.
    What's your holding period for gold trades?

  10. Yes, I use it. I have limitations on both the minimum liquidity of the shares and the size of the position. For example, the position size can not be more than 1% of the average turnover of shares for the last 3 days. Initial liquidity criteria are also reasonable, I do not trade garbage.
    Time in position for gold is 1 day.
