Hi,
I've been trading for few years now and being "consistantly profitable" is not the biggest problem I have. The problem I have is with low trading capital. Some friends advised me to open a small live pamm account and connect it with trade explorer, myfxbook, fxstat, ... to prove that I can trade. So I did that a few months ago. As I was told getting the funds for consistant traders shouldn't be a problem ("the money will find you if you are good" I was told, hehe). But apparently it is a problem (at least for me) because I don't even know what to do now. I'm no expert in marketing so I don't know how to promote myself (or where) as money manager or something like that.
My goal is not to become a millionare over night, I just want to make a decent living just with trading. I wouldn't mind becoming an institutional trader if somene offered me that kind of job or a chance. But as I said, I don't know where to turn for someone to notice me at least and gave me a chance to prove it. Are there any firms or people who search for traders like me (low budget retail trader) that I can turn to? Or do I first have to make millions to get noticed? How much history do I need to prove that Im legit? And to who can I show it?
I already gave up the idea that someone will notice me here on FF, Myfxbook or Fxstat because of all the scam accounts (I suspect) with shady unregulated brokers. Apparently it is easy to fake the results. So a lot of accounts out there look like Warren Buffett is an amateur. I can't compete with scam accounts.
Anyone here with some experience from this? Probably I'm not the only one with this problem.
For now I trade full-time with my own funds. But building a budget and paying the bills at the same time with low capital is hard.
Any advice is very appreciated.
Happy trading guys.
