Trader's finance

Proverbs · May 2, 2007

Hello,
I'm considering trading professionally from home but am having difficulties raising finance. I've been advised to start with £20,000 pounds, and I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of any firms or financial institutions (excluding banks) that I could speak to, and what their criteria might be??

I'd add "plus enough money to live on for 2 years"

Please tell me more...

Nothing much more to tell really, the £20,000 is your trading capital, the money for 2 years means you don't have the psychological burden of having to make £x per month to pay the bills.

If you havn't blown up after the two years then you're prolly going to be ok.

I suggest you start a simple spreadsheet and work out what return, when compounded, you require for this business to make sense. It takes a few years for 20k to grow into a pot that you can comfortably live off even with exceptional returns.

Do a business plan... borrow money from the bank... create a fund and then start looking for investors...

If you don’t want to use bank then I suggest find a venture capitalist.

Hi,
I dont really see the problem. There got to be at least 100 sites that provide the EuroDollar daily openings, closings, highs and lows.

If you do not find such a site it should not be to hard to find a broker that has the Eurodollar, and then either export it automatic in excel or manualy by look at the chart. (What a sh*t work to do, haha

)

I hope i did not missunderstand what you were looking for.

Good luck
