    Bottom line, you have options, what you decide is up to you entirely. it's your life. Building work can be a complete nightmare if you are not into manual labour, when I was 18 I spent 2 days on a building site, they gave me a demolition hammer to knock down a wall...well, I could not see myself doing it for 8 months. That would be same as slavery to me.

  5. If your system is 90% and you dont want to let people see it working then why dont you scrape up $2000 (dont say thats a problem) and trade 1 lot till you build capital then increase size.....doh!!!!

    Tell me you are realy looking for contributions then I will take you seriously!

    You need to leverage the power of other peoples money.

    Find friends and family who can go into business with you on a 50:50 profit split.

    You need to write a 15 page powerpoint presentation, describing your business plan.

    You dont need to disclose you entry rules, but you should describe the risks you are taking and the kind of drawdowns to expect.

    If your plan is good then people will throw money at you,
    however most people will also be realistic and know that the likelyhood of failure is quite high too.

  7. Start an investment group and/or join existing ones in your area. Bring your real money trading records. Give a basic and sincere explanation of your strategy and the results. You probably won't give up your secret edge assuming you have one; the devil is in the details. You might be pleasantly surprised with your ability to raise some funds after a few months even if you aren't a born salesman.

    How do you pay your bills if you don't have a job and capital to trade?

  9. Creativity, timing and patience...

    This lady started out of an apartment in Pomona with $3000 and became a billionaire.

    There were messages from another thread on here where one person claimed to make 4 million from a doctor recruitment enterprise which isnt absurd when you think about it. All you need to do is play matchmaker between doctor and hospital then collect the fee. Recruit just 4 doctors in one year and thats 100k, better then a construction job and less work.

    Actually, I have been entertaining that idea myself. The US has an aging population and the younger generations dont want to work hard anymore. They dont want to spend 15 years training just for a 150k a year job. So the hospitals are looking for doctors, any doctors.

    Im not sure how one would recruit doctors, but cold calling fellows and hospital admins wouldnt be hard. All you need is a telephone to get started.

    Imagine how hard some people work for 100k a year. All you need to do is recruit 4 doctors. Its all telephone calls and personality.

  10. If you have good credit it's pretty easy to score decent money. I got 30k @ 0% for 12 months from Discover this month with a 20k/year income. Check your fico score at myfico.com.
