A lot of people act like trading is easy if you have discipline, read books , work hard, etc.... IMO, you need a real edge to be consistent enough to trade full time. Whether that is focusing on a niche market, arbitraging, scalping, running an algo, etc. Would anyone be looking to mentor me for a percentage of my trading profits? Hopefully, this can be beneficial for both of us. Especially, if someone has a strategy that can easily be scaled.
Trading is not easy...regardless if you have a ton of discipline, or read a ton of books, or work hard, etc. ....if that were the case, you'd see a ton of successful people/traders all around glowing about how much money they are making in the market. Why would a rare successful trader be interested in hiring or working with some bozo clown? I certainly wouldn't. I'm fine running this show all alone. and keeping my Holy Grail/wisdom all to myself.
So you are looking for someone to mentor you to be profitable, but you will pay them for their time only if you are profitable? Wow. The charity requests get more creative every day.
So let me understand this - first time poster who lives in "USA" looking for a total stranger to them, to share their edge.
I’m in my late 20s and am from FL. I’ve traded equities for several years based on sec filings. The market changing has made it harder for me too trade and my strategy is less sustainable than it used to be. I have the most experience with equities but am open minded.
sounds like a good deal. They have the potential to make a lot of money without putting any up. And if it doesn’t work than it didn’t effect their edge in anyway. In my opinion, its a risk worth taking. This is business, not a charity case
