    I use interactive. Don’t have an auditor now for incubator yet, but will get all past results audited when/if I do a full launch.

    Generally, you want an auditor to follow your trading in real time but you should be able to find a CPA that will give you the green light after the fact. I know a guy at Infinity who can put you in touch with a guy who raises funds for CTA's and CPO's. I'll make a phone call or two and send you a PM when I have more info on this.

    Thanks so much, just make sure to mention that I'm not sure I'm by the point to manage money yet...

    A few postings back you wrote that you only short the bear leverage ETF's. Which one exactly do you short and why only the bear? I mean if market is running against you for some time you can't make money if you don't hedge yourself with the other side no matter how much time or volo decay there is right?

    Any leveraged bear ETF works for me, however it depends on your time horizon.
    If your time horzion is 3-6 months (or if the most important factor is your sharpe ratio) then its not for you. If your time horizon is 2-5 years and your don't care how it will do in any given month you are guarenteed to make a nice profit in the end. However you need to manage the risk of a forced buy in, a risk that is not that easy to manage.

    Every single asset class (besides volatility) has been falling today so I expect will have rebound very soon..
