I’m fully confident in my trading strategy — not because backtests, but because it is LIVE verified with long-term consistency. I have 15+ years of data (backtests and 2 years live), and the live performance closely matches the historical results. Stats: ~60% win rate, 1.6 RR ratio, ~100 high-quality trades/year (not overtrading), stable behavior across different market conditions, and controlled drawdowns. This is not a one-year lucky system — it’s a robust, repeatable edge.
With $10K and 1:500 leverage, I can generate around 80% CAGR. If I compound without withdrawals, I need ~5 years to reach ~$500K — enough to trade professionally under proper regulation (no offshore workarounds) and have fully legal/taxable income.
The strategy exists in two versions with the SAME logic:
• High leverage (1:500) → ~80% annual return, great for fast growth on small capital.
• Low leverage (1:30) → ~25% annual return, same win rate & RR, fully scalable to large AUM in institutional environments.
Problem: Starting with only $10K, compounding at 25% takes too long.
Prop firms are NOT a solution. Due to 5% max daily drawdown rules, the strategy must reduce risk so much that returns drop to ~6% per year. So prop firms are basically useless for growth.
So the real challenge is not the strategy (it’s already LIVE proven and scalable), but capital acceleration.
I also know that 95% of traders lose money. I am not asking them. I’m looking to connect with the 5% who win, or those who genuinely believe they can become part of that 5% and understand the value of a real edge.
My question:
What is the fastest and most realistic path to grow AUM or attract capital when the strategy is already LIVE verified, profitable, and scalable, but starting capital is small?
I’m considering private investors, managed accounts, allocation platforms (e.g., Darwinex), partnerships, or forming a regulated structure. But I’d love to hear from people who have actually scaled from small capital to professional AUM.
How did you do it? What do serious investors need to see beyond performance?
Any real-world insight would be extremely valuable.
