I agree with some posts on here because for so many years, I spend tremendous amount of time and efforts (with many losses) to come up with some reliable setups so I could make consistent profits these days, there is no way I'd sell it to anyone because everyone will jump in to compete with me at the same time, which will affect bid/ask prices. By the way, please keep in mind that he is talking about "investment" strategy, which is different than "trading" strategy
Just on this forum, seems each week someone has some system they made and want boatloads of OPM cause they don't have much or any. People want ginny pigs to try out their systems, you show nothing on how far back you have back tested it whether daily or tick data, nothing on drawdown, but you go onto how much YOU want to make in management fees and percentages, can tell you not so much interested in your clients funds and more into yours. Even your wording of posts seems weak and to me this going to be very risky. Those who hire require real money statements for 2-3 years, stress to trade is night and day between real funds and sim traded, sim traded will show to yourself something might work and give aid to your subconscious but conscious people won't be impressed to putting up bucks, and showing us you NOT taking friends and relatives, really tells the world this system should not be traded. It be better you traded a couple years on smaller account to show you has enough faith in your own system by using your owns funds. Join some contests and if you win, they pay award money. It is much more impressive to start with little and build it up yourself and self rewarding. http://search.aol.com/aol/search?q=..._t=comsearch-hyplogusaolp00000092&s_it=rs-bot
"Get the idea", what are you high? You have a winning strategy, but you have all these debts, and can't afford the finer things in life. IMHO you need a copy editor or a better strategy.
Use Twitter and StockTwits post real time entries and exits, if you are a success users will flock, after a few months you announce you are starting a chat room for a fee, if people want to get in they should send you a request to get on the list, if you get enough requests you go ahead with it, enjoy a monthly stream of income, you will no longer be posting real time entries on Twitter/ST, instead you will post results from trading and lines like chat room killed it today, chat room banked big, this should attract more users and members of your chat might post on social as well attracting even more users, I've seen it done by multiple traders I follow on Twitter.
Trade it as a long/short trade vs SPY / ES futures. That should take the risk way down and may help you see how good or how lucky the piece that's left is.
Must be near a blow off top. People showing up to trade with no capital and no experience arrogant as can be because they had a good run on the SIM, they are positive they will outperform the best traders of all times. Some think they should be given a 6 digit hedge fund to manage, some think they are experts now before doing any trading and want to be paid for their market expertise by selling training or black boxes to other new traders. Some are taking out expensive loans and ditching lucrative careers or college, so sure they will make 400% their first year which they will have to make just to keep the lights on. Looks like signs of mania to me.
Life works towards the lowest common denominator, and these days people are slow, which means the time to market is much longer than it used to be. It all works on an exponential curve, what used to be 1-2years is now 3-5years, and in the not so distant future 3-5years will become 7-10years. There are a few who break that trend and the lower the timeframe the quicker you can generate traction. If you trade 1m then with 1-2 high probability trades you can reduce the history to months, 1s you can reduce to weeks, which is why HFTs pop up all over the place working in milliseconds. At 1hr you're talking years and daily/weekly higher, why, because the standard metric is a 10 trade run. With 1hr you're talking a high probability trade every 1-2mths per instrument, the higher the volatility the more trades they want as a track record, the more instruments you work with the more trades they want as a track record. So if you want to pull the timeline down to months and weeks, you need sub 1m trades, which are also the most complex because you don't have time to think, you have to trade on instinct. The market is structured to perfection, you don't put the work in either via time or via complexity, usually both, you will not move past the flat on the exponential curve. It's very simple.
