Here are 2 good starting places to raise capital for your Ponzi scheme/trading scam: https://www.gofundme.com/ http://www.kickstarter.com/
Crowdfunding? No thanks. And be assured it's neither a scam nor Ponzi scheme. It's just a new option type, mathematically solid, and well tested.
1. I think publishing a paper would be a good choice, maybe even partner with someone who already published one. If you really invented something useful then you should get job and business offers, even if it’s a job first and a business later, maybe also some speaking engagements. 2. Listing an alternative product to options may not attract customers. OneChicago has been promoting single stock futures for many years, but you probably never heard of them. While most traders, quants, developers and funds invested many years and dollars into learning, analyzing and backtesting options, including developing various libraries and toolkits for it. Your proposition may require $billions in investment from thousands of organizations across the world, and abandoning profits that they are making from trading options. Actually anyone can say “trading without HFTs and without front-running is better”, but so what? Trading firms are fighting to protect their profits from market flaws and inefficiencies...
Was thinking he came up with “options for options”. Always figured that was the next step. Like options on futures. You got a derivative on a derivative.
You need to team up with a firm that has clout, access and marketing. you will give up a substantial amount of equity but imagine if you got 1 cent for every Vix contract that traded a day....
Yeah, need to find such a firm that would be interested in obtaining the rights of this product idea. Suppose asking for say just a 1 cent per contract as license fee: according to this site https://www.statista.com/statistics/377025/global-futures-and-options-volume/ last year about 15.23 billion option contracts were traded globally. If we take half of it and multiply by 1 cent per contract then this makes about $76 million every year that this product idea would bring the firm, at least, plus reputation, market leadership in this product, etc.
