1) Because it is one of the most popular trading forums, which means more sets of eyes will see it, and this increase the probability that one of the sets is talented.
2) This is not etched in stone, but we look at traditional performance and drawdown figures like everyone else does, but we also look at the transaction details under a microscope to get a better understanding of what the trader is doing and if his strategy has any potential flaws that can cause catastrophic losses down the road. We also have a due diligence questionnaire with 100+ questions that are very specific.
3) Yes.
4) The 30-45 day period test is no longer being used. Again, the longer the track record the better. But the actual test period is also affected by the transparency of the track record and on how verifiable it is, as well as on the number of data points in questions based on the activity of the trader.
5) Yes.
6) This is not etched in stone either. We are not looking for traders who have substantial AUM. We are looking for emerging talent. These traders usually do not have experience in managing substantial assets. This is another unknown that must be dealt with as best as possible. There is no perfect way to do this.
7) You bet. :clap:
