How to fund a successful strategy?

Discussion in 'Professional Trading' started by smacdtrader, Nov 19, 2023.

  1. I have developed an automated strategy that outperforms the underlying asset in all of the most heavily traded cryptos, currency pairs and stocks. I am also a poor statistician, with no money or connections. What I am great at is writing unbiased back-tests. But I'm kind of a hermit who has no idea how to monetize this idea. Can anyone offer any help, advice or have interest in discussing making this a reality? I've gone about as far as I can go, alone, with cheap data and a laptop.

    Historic performance expectancy ratios of .5 to 2 in crypto and .2 to .3 in forex and stocks. I also have confirmed the real time algorithm matches the back-tested algo. The only constraint is liquidity, which is a problem I would love to have. It's appalling simple.

    back test? That means nothing. Everyone can create a successful strategy to match a certain period in history. Let your algorithm run for 6 months, make 1000+ trades in that time and then come back and tell me what was your ROI and sortino.

  3. if the back-test means nothing, it's being done wrong. mine are always excellent examples of future performance. but fair enough, perhaps we talk in 18 months after I get in my 1000 trades. see i even know how long it will take me to get my 1000 trades cause my research is very precise. Avg 2.3 trades per day. hope the fund's not closed by then. I kid!

    Go on, send your excellent backtests to a hedge fund for a review. And tell me how many replies you got.
