    With trading, hard work doesn't equal success, so to solicit money at this point would probably be a disaster. If you have some programming skills and are willing to work hard, why not take a year and throw yourself into backtesting & strategy development?

    If you come up with something, you can trade your own money, and when you have a track record, maybe think about soliciting more funds with confidence. If it is an end-of-day strategy or you can automate some things, you can even get a job while trading.

    If you don't come up with anything, at least you will have learned a lot.

  7. Hrt2,

    You said” I started the topic hoping (urgh) that someone would point a more elegant, eficient way for raising capital, I could have missed something... don't know.”


    To be blunt, you live in fantasy land. You started the topic hoping someone would have an easy way for you to get some money without earning it or putting in any effort to make your plans come true. You have no credit, no money and no real skills. You think someone is just going to swoop in and give you some money so you don’t have to get a job, make some sacrifices and earn your success? You don’t have any useful trading experience at all or a track record of any kind. No hedge fund would touch you with a 10-foot pole. Why would they trust you with their money when you have proven you couldn’t handle what little money you had?

    It is time to get realistic. If you want success, go GET it. You and you alone have to earn it. Nothing wrong with being optimistic but sooner or later you will have to do what deep down, you already know you have to do. Get a job. Study the markets. Put together a plan. Follow it and adjust as needed.

    The world doesn’t owe you anything other than opportunity. Take your shot and see what happens. But don’t expect it to come easily or on a silver platter. I do wish you the best of luck. If you keep failing forward, you CAN reach your goals.

    Just do it.

  8. Actually, I am.

    However, why ANYONE would discourage FREE money from bob bright is beyond my comprehension.

    This deal is truly the best deal one could possibly strike. No downside and have a professional expert proven master trader trade money on your behalf and GIVE YOU 50%.

    This kid just hit his holy grail on elite, as did anyone not TOO STUPID to take advantage of this FREE offer.

    I agree 95% with you. The only thing is, I want a FASTER way to raise money, not necessarily a EASY way. Lewis Hamilton's father had to work 3 jobs at the same time to raise money for his son, he could just work 1 single job for a lot longer, that would have been the EASIER way, but certainly not the FASTEST.

    If I had to work 5 to 9 everyday for 5 years so be it, but there's no way I'll do anything without first considering every single possibility. I'm trying to get input to see if I come up with a way to formulate a better, faster, more efficient way to raise capital.

    Another thing, what do you mean with: "Why would they trust you with their money when you have proven you couldn�t handle what little money you had?". I use the money to pay the supermarket, I couldn't see your point.

    Thanks for the input

    If fast is what you are looking for, why not try the casinos? Although the odds are stacked against you from the start, you can still make quick cash. Assuming you don't have shitty luck, manage your money well, position sizing, not letting greed have the upper hand, etc...
