    Looking for backers

    Parky - That is exactly what I'm looking for and would be my ideal position. Trade 100% for myself and when I have a very confident trade lined up to go through the clearer. I've just had issues trying to actually find a suitable clearer.

    Looking for backers

    Thanks for the replies guys. Most of the firms I've contacted are only interested in forex traders. I've been advised that I should just trade for myself which I've carried on doing since my original post and I'm currently up 215% since January. So, at this moment in time I'm going to carry on...

    Looking for backers

    etoro don't seem to offer UK equities, which is what I'm trading at the moment. Thanks for the replies so far, some interesting view points. I've had a couple of interviews over the past week and I've been advised to apply to a Fund, so I will see how that route develops.

    Looking for backers

    moka2 - Yes I can show statements from my Broker. I have statements going back 5 years as from last week. I'd probably be looking for a simple profit split (50/50). Ideally I'd want more than 100k to trade with.

    Looking for backers

    I started with 10k. But as you said, I generally take out most of the profit per year, which is why it's taking me so long to build it up. There's nothing suspicious, my account is fully verifiable.

    Looking for backers

    Hi tomorton - I trade UK equities only. Mostly short term trades on margin. I generally trade anything on the FTSE350. I wouldnt say I do anything unique, but I feel like I have a knack for feeling when things might turn sour and can spot an oportunity as it arises. I should point out, I've...

    Looking for backers

    Yes, slip of the tongue or fingers there. Tripling is the correct word. As I said, I tend to withdraw what I make, to pay for bills etc. It's been quite a slog getting my account to where it today.

    Looking for backers

    Thanks. I suppose I'm getting impatient and would just like to up my size. 200% sounds, good but when you start from a low fiqure and then take into account money used to pay bills, its hard to build it up enough to see the sort of returns I would like to make.

    Looking for backers

    Good Afternoon everyone, I've been trading now for about 6 years. For the past five years I have a successful track record and have on average recorded a 200% return on investment for each year. I've been trying to find out how I could possibly get backing to increase my size as even though...

    Career Change

    Good Afternoon guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I've posted something similar before but now I think I'm about to make the move. I've been trading equities now for a number of years and for the past 4 years I've made a consistent profit. I generally make a 200% to 300% gain on my account...

    Looking for a job

    There are two reasons, first is that I would like a larger account than what I currently trade with. The second is that, I want to work in an environment where I can trade comfortably and actually receive a salary for doing it. At the moment, I'm having to trade in between my current job and I...

    Looking for a job

    Good Afternoon, I have a full time job in IT, but luckily I'm in a position to be able to trade when the opportunity arises. I only trade UK FTSE350 equities and trade on margin. After following the markets briefly since 2005, I started trading back in 2008 part time with a very small account...

    15 Minute Mover Alert

    Good Afternoon Guys, Does anyone know of an alert service or feed which sends alerts for large percentage movers over, say 15 minutes? For example, I want an alert sent to me when any stock within the FTSE350 moves by more than 5% over a 15 minute time frame. Does anyone know of any?? Thanks.

    Problems with IG Markets

    0rient - The problem is that I literally cant get a position opened using OTC, its been like this for four months. Unless you trading FTSE100 shares you will find it hard to get filled using DMA nowadays aswell as there are so many bots trading that the usual trade amounts are in the hundreds...
