Like I mentioned before, nothing stops him from copying me once he has figured out what I do. Also, I'm not looking to manage anyone's funds as what I do is mostly sensitive to size.
Yeah, but what is the fee structure ? Typical 2 and 20 ? If so, you are looking at $50k per annum in profit commission and another $10-20k per annum in asset value fees.
I'm curious how this deal would eventually be structured for the money manager. x% on assets, +y% on gains? Since the target bogey is so high at an annualized 50%, does the y% only kick in at the annualized return? If x was 1% and y was 5% and the bogey was SPX benchmark marked to market and paid out every quarter, that would make it more interesting. I agree with d08, it sounds like a fishing expedition to learn others' proprietary techniques.

I am looking for an Advisor that will manage my account in IB, and not to move it into a different broker. Since I am new here and this may look indeed like a troll post, I am attaching a screenshot of my portfolio. I made a post here since I am looking for a very specific kind of Day-trading portfolio, which is not common in most investment places.
When it comes to hiring a money manager, investors are usually biased toward not losing money than having exorbitant gains.
You look for a specific portfolio? Can you explain what this means? Do you mean a portfolio manager maybe?
