Not that I am too experienced myself, but I think my best advice would be to go out and set up a fund to get a performance record. It really doesn't cost that much to set up and run. Everyone wants at least a few months of results before they invest. Even if you and your father are the only investors, and the overhead is a few thousand a month, if you are serious about eventually running a fund, it is worth it. Interest will come eventually if you have good numbers. That is the only way. You can make a million percent a year in a cybertrader account and no one will care. This is from my own very limited experience.
