  2. It would probably be a good idea to open a paper trading account at a broker and establish a track record trading your strategy that you can then show to potential business partners (perhaps with the symbols or some other part of the records blacked out).

    Lets be specific about how much you need.

    Then you can come up with a plan to raise the money.

  4. LOL, there isn't much you can give away, believe me.

    Anyway, you can just take $5k to a prop shop and get the leverage you need to trade these ETFs.

  5. You might check out a broker like thinkorswim. Their paper money account can be used without ever funding your real money account, and they have excellent charting and all around, an excellent platform. Market data is free, should include your ETFs, and you will be able to use this platform to test your strategy for many months, if you so desire.

  9. Someone needs to stop this madness.

    You don't have an edge, stop dreaming. Noone is going to hand over an edge to you, especially in the US equity markets. Focus on your own trading.
