Looking for Investor

{quote} The reason why one would look for investors is because one does not have enough money to invest them self. To live off trading you need at least 50k . So if you have not got that you look for investors that do and charge them 25% from the profits you make based on performance. All it takes is to find someone that has over 250K and you have got your self a full time job.

Hmmm someone with $250k will not trade with someone that has ridiculous DD and someone whose trade size are huge in comparison to his balance and this guy is trading lot sizes of 0.15 and 0.2 on a $500 account with no SL or any protection. Only stupid people can't see this and would consider anything about his performance.
Totally deadly but enjoy your gamble while with this mistera anyone that considers it lol

Hi Tradability,
Thanks for answer
I think, taht You have not seen one of my previous answer, which I mentioned, that "1 lot at Instaforex is the same 0.1 standard lot" it's mean, that my trades with 0.15 and 0.2 lots are the same 0.015 and 0.02 standard lots, and I think, that it's normal lot size for 500$ account

that implies you're trading a micro account, hence the results need to be divided by 10 which means 12% not 120% gain. Which is still good I guess but why would you seek investments when at this rate compounded you would make a decent living if you know your maths.

Hmm...no results don't need to be divided by 10 because my abs. gain is 78.02% - 466.10$. I'm looking for investor because I don't have a free money to invest in Forex - I don't have 50K, I don't have 20K and also I don't have even 10K to invest in... with my 500$ I need to trade with higher risk and I can earn only ~150$-200$ per month, but if I can manage big account, for example, 50k, and earn average 10% per month - 5K and take 25% of it, it's mean, that I will earn 1.250$ per month...

Then trade with darwinex and if your results are good you sure will win 20k or more to trade with which you get to keep profits.

By the way you're confused when I said you traded with a large lot size and you don't seem to comprehend what that is...
let me make it clear you made trades that were size 5 lots etc on a micro scale and that is a huge lot size in comparison to the account size. My calculations are perfect not just good, hence why you achieved high results on a small sample of trades.
You took a high risk and it paid off on short term i.e nice gamble....but not sustainable, hence the high DD.
Now I have just as good if not better results and I wouldn't offer it to the high end investors because you don't seem to respect what a high risk is hence why you use such a micro fund and expecting such a huge fund to trade.
If you were very confident in your strategy you would have borrowed few mill from a bank and traded it for a good return lol

One bit of advice from me is that and no offence but like 99% of traders here seem to think trading is easy, some pretend its a competition others think they will make a living out of it and some think they will become millionaires lol if it were that easy we would all be millionaires and in the same class but we're not and never will be!

But good luck in your dream and if I thought your strategy was any good I would have thrown you a life line of 10k or 20k but I'm not prepared to gamble on such a short record of a martingale with someone who hasn't made a withdrawal and doesn't look like knows how to sorry to say.
By the way my trading curve looks like this..

I really don't get it. I see this is an increasing popularity for some anonymous people on the forex forums to come and look for investors without providing their real name and address, heck without providing their real trading history. Someone learns to trade and 3 months later he shows up seeking "investors" I mean do you people know that what you're doing is a criminal penalty. To trade other peoples money you need to be registered with the right financial institutions in your country. Giving you the money would be like giving money to some random stranger on the bus stop in some random country where one will get randomly using bus and/or plane. Cmon, you want to be taken serious and want to manage hundreds of thousands of investment capital but all you have to provide is your 200$ account where you trade overleveraged and been doing it for the last 3 months.

Do you really think people are that gullible? The guy here in commercial section (won't name the thread) doesn't even know what future contract is and he is a commercial member..unbelievable really

exactly right....BUT those who have the funds won't choose anyone at random anyway they will request to see them fund a BIG account and trade that as proof that their strategy works on it before then can even consider their strategy. No one will consider them without seeing a live decent fund size traded. Been there done that with one of the biggest around fund holders in the world but not all are the same however it was some experience to see what huge fund holder require and in what way they expect a trader to work. In saying this there are those small gamblers around looking for the fast gamble to try and make a quick buck or two.

in past i've had DD to that, but even 25% is way too high a DD for me personally. I dont like that big of one, with any size account.
Thats my method of trading tho, but for me I dont like anything higher than 5% to 10% max DD, if it goes beyond that, I start looking
at a rescue plan. Fortunately, in the past 12 months i've managed to keep it below 7%.. kinda gotten used to that, but hopefully
I can maintain that in my trading, cause you never know when things can change..

I agree totally but everyone wants zero DD the issue is you are going to make the returns small to sustain very low DD period. If your DD is less than 1% then your average return per month will reflect this in that it will be less than 3% as well.

I will post such systems I am trading with these kinds of low return to this ff portfolio now. So watch how very low DD produces low profits per month. These system are mainly for large investments where someone wants safe and reliable returns that doesn't care the return isn't large.

Yes I agree with this as well, If the account size is small.
But with a properly funded account, one would still gain a nice earnings.
Even only making 5% per month, on a large sum, is alot of money, and with lowest possible risk. My personal opinion is that
without a account of at least 50K minimum, growth will be very small with such low risk.
