man i u have made that % return, now that u have a real trading stake... just try to roll this sum into a much less ambitious % return.... u will get much more $ for less risk...
Let's flip this around, trader comes to you and he has taken a few trades in Crude Oil since June 2014 and he has taken his $3,000 account to $63,000 and he wants you to give him $15,000 to manage and trade other markets like Meats and Lumber, whacha think? He says he stayed at a Holiday Inn one night and read few books. Percentages means little unless you have years at it and many trades. Most don't know Larry Williams who turned $10k into over a million had several accounts going and I believe he has ran it up pretty good amount and was in bad drawdown by end of the year. Just too risky for anyone to feel comfy to give you any money at this time.
I agree with you. For some people it seems to be difficult to understand that investors want SOLID proof of their trading performance. So they should first give this SOLID proof that will go over an extended period of a few years covering all kinds of market situations. If they can do that, they probably made already so much money that they don't need a few K to trade "bigger".
