Hi

Any thoughts on how to fund your trading at the start? not involving prop/arcade shops I could work for them but I would prefer to trade for myself.
I guess many of you went through similar problem in the past.

thanks
 
We did this topic yesterday in another thread.

Start an investment pool with your internet buddies.

Seriously, i would recommend getting money off good friends or family, people you are comfortable with not just anyone.

Most people will advise against this but it worked for me.

Split profits 50/50.

Yes; similarily family funded me to manage their investments and some to trade more activity (futures) and it worked out good, definately the way to go about it; but depends on your personality and how you'd feel about losing them money at the Xmas parties.

yep, the search function didnt bring that up,
I wasnt onilne yesterday, can see it now

I would rather not to go and borrow money, I dont like the idea of lending and borrowing in general, lol

I guess the main idea is to earn the money working
 
How much you need and have you got a track record ?

£1000
Anyway I have a potential people to invest but I dont like trading other people`s money.
I dont really have a proper record, as I dont like trading demos/simulators. I did some live trading at prop shop. I need to make the £1000 myself. I generally like to do things myself, well most of them...

For example: on friday I went to demonstrate my trading skills to one of the potential investors. He gave me a demo account to play with. I have shorted Euro/usd around 10 am with 50 lots (on demo), I left for 20 sec bring my water - and my trade was gone... he closed it from his computer by mistake. FFS!

This is a wind-up right, or else your member profile is. Full-time? 3-5 years?

I look back to one of your early posts:

"We both new to trading. I have been looking to SB for about 2 years, yet no success so far.No funds. Memeber of T2W for about a year now. last few days have read many interesting posts on T2W. Looking at RSI 5 and CCI today."

although your profile says your joining date was "Join Date: May 31, 2008".

Some inconsistencies here I think.

Sorry, I'm not trying to get at you here, just trying to understand you. Why do people even bother to fill in the profile info if they make no attempt at accuracy, or if they do make it accurate, why don't they try to post consistently with their profile?

:confused:

Nah I started looking at SB first in 2006. Either way if I have said in 2008 that I started it about 2 years ago, at this point we re almost done with 2009. therefore I would be able to qualify withinn 3-5 years experience, if not I have some prop shop experience (for better or worst - you decide).

Either way, I ve asked if there are other ways than to borrow to get money, because I thought this forum is full of smart/experienced people who can help to solve me the problem I am kind of stuck with.

Hope that clears

so far I have been accused of lying, fraud, terrorism, lol . The only decend reply was from virtuoso, but I dont know how to get that job.

If i write too fast, I am sorry but I was involved in damn high frequency trading in the past, lol
