Warm greetings traders.-
I have been trading my small account since Feb 1st 2017. These days I am three weeks shy of one full year of trading.
My return is on track to hit 12% for the year according to my FF trade explorer. MyFxBook says I am doing even better at about 16% already and my fundseeder dashboard (which only goes back to July 2017) tells me that I am more than 50% up for the time between July’17 and today. (Please note, currently open positions may skew those numbers a little bit.)
I don’t know how a lot of these places calculate their numbers but they all agree that I am doing well.
My maximum draw down on the books as well as my maximum floating draw-down is under 5% on all three platforms from the time I started the current strategy on Feb 1st 2017.
I am also working a very demanding full-time job as a Sr Linux Engineer caring for production systems at a large corporation which takes up a lot of my time and is always trying to monopolize whatever little time I have left to myself. All the trading performance under my belt for this past 11 months has been while working this job.
I would love to trade my way into the sun-set but with an account the size of mine that might take another lifetime which I don’t have.
What are the options for someone like me as far as funding is concerned?
I always hear that one must have at least one year’s worth of consistently profitable live performance before anyone will take a chance on you.
Well, here I am; eleven months in and well over 850 live trades later. What’s the next step?
I’ve heard of the prop-trading firms but those sound like a scam more than anything. Although I have no experience with them.
What other funding options are out there?
Thank you for your time.
