Hard to say what's what to be honest. Hell, I'm even so honest that I'm thinking maybe my good periods have simply been luck. Not withdrawing have been the plan all along as I have a day job which pays for all my expenses, so the plan have been to grow my account into a larger one. But, I think...

Hello, T_D_P, That seems to be the general "problem". By the time one have accumulated a good/long enough track record one may simply not be in need of funds. Thoughts? Best regards, Johnny

Hello there, Flashman, Thanks for asking and sorry for the late reply. Not very active here. Still trading my personal account on and off. Took a long summer break and plan to start trading again the 1st of September. Generally, the same type of pattern tends to repeat with me. I fund a...

Sounds familiar. :) Spot on, sir! I'd say my discipline have improved tremendously, though. In the past, I would do extremely stupid things like sizing up considerably. Unfortunately, it even worked at times, but then came the inevitable huge losses. So, this time around I've improved by not...

It's good to keep in mind that statistics are simply probabilities and usually that's never 100 %. I think we're in a different market regime compared to earlier periods, so any analogue/comparison should be used with caution. Seasonality is strong for this time of the year in a bull market...

Thank you for your comment. Having been through it - were you able to solve it? If so, I'd love to hear your take. Are you a systematic trader? Well, I know I'm very good at analyzing the markets and have a good grasp of the big picture at all times. But, I'm not yet a very good trader as a...

Thank you, Parky. Do you have link to any such firms to consider? Thanks.

Got it. And thank you. What you're suggesting there might be a worthwhile deal, yes. I suppose for now I will just continue focusing on my trading and see how that goes. There's a genuine chance I might be quitting my job and be out of the job market for a few months in February 2023, so I...

That's disrespectful. Maybe you're working for them. I asked for a serious alternative. What you're linking to is just another pay-to-trade-in-simulator program. They're not funding traders.

September:

Hello again, flashman56, Thank you for providing this information to me. Very interesting. You mentioned picking these off a big list. Would it be possible to share that list with me? Feel free to contact me through private message if that’s better for you. I was in contact with one firm...

Hello, flashman57, Thank you for your interesting and considerate reply. Learning to trade in a professional capacity like you’re saying would definitely be ideal, but I think it’s not an option for me as I’m by now probably too old (38) and don’t have the right background (engineering and not...

Hello, DT, Yes, you're right. I don't expect anyone to fund me if I can't provide a good track record which is why I don't see any way moving forward other than trading my own small account. As wrote in my prior post, though. I firmly believe that a big part of my lack of consistent success...

Hello, Where would I access such a group or funding, then? I agree that it's a catch 22 or chicken and egg situation as if you're a good trader you might not want to trade external funds. Conversely, without a good track record you probably ain't going to get access to any funds or external...

If the moves were stronger directionally that would be great, but my experience is that this current volatility is still very much "whippy" and requiring rather large stops. As such, I personally like when the volatility is calmer. Just not too calm. I had to ask because many I`ve talked to...
