OP's strategy is very correlated to the market? Maybe he is just long of an Ultra ETF. He has been here for 5 years and never heard of C2, what does that tell us?
Pretty much says it all... Previous posters wasting their time being polite... Snake oil is snake oil. GTFO
I think your confusing daytrading with investing. It's a longterm investment strategy. He wants money asap. It would take a year to realize profit and by that time his followers would be long gone.
Yes, he should set up as an RIA and gather patient, long-term client capital to manage with his strategy. But that takes elbow grease. He wants to get rich quick
"Don't think you are, know you are" Morpheus (Matrix) When you will know you have really profitable strategy (and I am not talking peanuts) you will know how to sell it, but probably you will refuse to sell it. There are no poor geniuses in trading, but plenty of poor people who think they are geniuses.
Post your trade and the results. If you're consistently making upside for people, then people will buy it or you'll get offers to join a bigger group.
To start with it would be helpful to understand that "It's pretty correlated with the S&P 500 but there are both a larger upside and downside" (which is what we call Beta in the finance industry) is mutually exclusive with "a better sharp ratio" (spelled Sharpe and usually capitalized, after William Sharpe who came up with it). It's constrained by math, the Sharpe Ratio is a formula not a opinion. That formula is defined as: . You just described a strategy with a higher portfolio standard deviation (the denominator of the Sharpe ratio) than the index, hence a smaller Sharpe ratio than simply investing in the index. You emphasize that you want to do this legally, which means you'll need to actually convince people who know about these things to invest in you. If you use 16 words to describe what the industry refers to using one word, Beta, then that's not going to happen. If you make a claim at the end of sentence that is contradicted at the beginning of that same sentence, it's not going to happen. You need to be able to convince people that you're a competent professional, and without any malice I think you're not quite there yet. As I've suggested a number of times, there are awesome free finance MOOCs out there by some of the best professors at some of the best universities. You'll learn a ton, it will make you a better trader, and you'll be able to sound like a professional which will also help you get better because other professionals can engage with you at their level. Sincerely wish you luck in your journey, just know that it will be a journey of at least a few more years.
Good answers from other posts. Many investors/ Investing companies have funds & strategies they corner the market with. Google guys like Michael Milken. Establish a profitable trade history- now using your strategy. Help others succeed with it, then sell it- believe it or not Cheezy a$$ testimonials do count. You can actually aim for a patent if you have a novel design. I designed a similar fund that is used in the UK, now, that an incompetent lawyer dragged his feet on and let me get duped on, SO BE CAREFUL. You can also, sell it in books or other publication forms- but make sure it works first.
You have one thing right. A 150' yacht will cost about 5k a month just in maintenance and dockage. With a yacht that size you will need about 3 person crew, average salary about 50k/year. You will realize it's not an investment at all, just an expense.
