How to Attract Investors to Invest in You?

  • First Post: Jul 4, 2018 1:16pm Jul 4, 2018 1:16pm
Hey guys so what do you think is the best way to attract investors to invest in you?

I mean lets say for example that you have a successful strategy, and you have over 6-12+ months of verified trading history showing good stable monthly growth, smooth EC, low DD, how can you attract investors to invest in your trading, and strategy?

Would you suggest that they open a PAMM account, and then investors can invest in their PAMM, or is there another better way to better attract investors?

If you wanted to take your trading, and expertise to the next level, and go to trade for a PF or HF, how or what do you suggest is the best way forward to attracting interest for them to hire you?

I'm curious about this as I know there are some traders who have solid profitable strategies, but not enough capital to make any substantial profits, and finding investors who will invest in them can really help capitalize on their growth etc.

So what do you think? Cheers.

I'm no talking about signals, signals are so 1999.

I'm talking about finding, and attracting investors to invest in you. HN investors, and HF etc don't bother with signals, signal services is for beginner retail traders.

I have some experience in that ( last months ). Basically start with closer friends and let them do the job at fb telling others their opinion ( normally people like show his "success" and profits ). MQL5 is a good start. When you are some months with people satisfied you can start to proposal some PAMM to people with some balance.

If you dont have some reputation is difficult somebody let you manage big capital. And is not same trade for some people and show your current performance than show a past results without "clients" pressure

PD: My first big balance guy arrived after 3 months ( 30000$ )...

Hi, some people actually like to trade off signals, it gives them some form of being in control.
Just like horse racing. i am not posting negatively but posting with positive information..
i do know people who sell signals and of course trade/invest for others...

take care, Regards Billy

For sure billytt I agree with you, I was one of them when I first started trading lol, but as time passed, and as my trading knowledge increased I did not want to rely and depend on others to "feed me" set ups/signals, I wanted to learn how to do it myself.

I will say that it was a roller coaster (not in a good way) finding a good signal provider, and eventually I gave up and moved on, and started doing my own analysis, sort of going the typical route of a newbie retail trader.

In line of the thread topic I think signal providers and/or signal services are not really relevant.

PAMM is a great way to get your feet wet.

And...slowly build up your own accounts with a commission base - clone trades to your account.

There is always the Prop Trader route...some offer Forex...but this is a fucking TERRIBLE way to go, IMO.

When you are tripping with your own cash and you lose a couple bucks, you can lick wounds and move on. When you are tripping OPM, there's a whole new line of pressure that kicks in. Every day you win, for others is moderate. Lose $10 and you have robbed their kids from being able to go to college.

Seriously...

And when you are working with management, there are restrictions that may impact your overall performance, because what others deem as acceptable, may not be the same as what you do.

PAMM removes this...you are separated from client and just collect a modest fee for your trades being cloned. There are some restrictions that are applied to the account, typically by way of margin, but depending on what you require, might be fine...

Building your own portfolio, you can make a few bucks on being an IB and direct bill customers monthly/bi-monthly and use trade clone software to manage all accounts. This does require a little investment into either working cloud based - for security on power and internet connection, and/or build your own machine, get redundant internet services in the event one goes down and set up a company...you can write a lot of shit off doing this, but you have to make first and show others after. This does have it's complications, but if you find a good account manager, they will not only help you in the billing department, but also find you additional clients to build your bank.

AND

NEVER!!

EVER!!

Work with family or close friends as clients or investors.

Through the eyes of FF, just saying that you are looking for investors qualifies as a commercial intent and thus moved to their commercial section.

As a regular FF member, you are lucky to be in good standings otherwise they'd have just stamped your ass with the Commercial moniker and just try to un-ring that bell.

Basically...it'd be like walking through the redzones holding a sign that says, "I wonder if there are any women who have sex for money"...

Sure...you can try to explain to the cops that you weren't trolling for hookers...but try and get a Judge to believe that.

The somewhat commonly known secret of FF...you can be a commercial player...account manager, broker, whatever...you just can't advertise as a regular member.

They want their piece of the pie...so, unless you are shelling them a few bucks for using their site to build your business, you are restricted on the conversations you can have and where you can have them.

Ok def had no intentions like that.

In any case this thread was just a question to the FF members, not necessarily about me looking for investors exactly.

If I did have a commercial agenda it def wouldn't be this way lol..

So from what I gather starting a PAMM would be the best way forward to head in that direction?

Alright. So each platform has different way to increase your earning from trading.

In my opinion start with myfxbook & darwinex.

In myfxbook you just can connect your account & keep continue your trading. In their autotrading service plenty brokers are connected so no extra setup required to copy your trade. With the gain percentage you have, it will come up on the top list in few days. If people starts to copy your trading you will start earning from each trade, its explained there.

In Darwinex, i love their analysis platform, its outstanding. Start building your account there. You can connect your current live account there as well. As the rating goes up people will invest in you. You will receive a performance fee. Also each month they conduct a open trading contest. You have to be a live trader there, end of month they reward 48 traders! 1st one receives 300K & 48th guy receives 30k. Ofcourse thats not paid to you but you can trade that money from which you will receive 20% performance fee. Say with your current system you become the 48th guy 20% performance fee from 30k will be decent.

Just connect your account to some of these systems, & keep your trading continued in 6-12 months with this continued result you will be able to build an amazing strategy for people to invest That time you do not have to look for investors.

But first thing first mate, your trading strategy, dont get distracted during the trade days. You trade your way & on the weekend you study how these funding system platform works. Wish you all the best, you are doing good.

Thank you for the reply, I will take note of it.

As for Myfxbook, that won't be possible with the current account as you can see below. Also copy trading isn't something I was aiming for so Darwinex seems like a good option to look at besides starting a PAMM account.

Perhaps starting a PAMM account, and linking the same PAMM account to Darwinex could be a good idea to start, but I don't see where you can link an existing account on Darwinex, it looks like you need to sign up a new account with them.

Yes you need at least 3 months trading history for myfxbook.

Good idea. You can connect your live account like shown in the screenshot. After registering in darwinex go to the menu there you will see linked account. After connecting it will take some time to load the history.
