I'm a self-taught Forex trader. For about a year now I've been managing the account of a family friend, who had to withdraw his capital to put it into his main business, which suffered recently. So I'm left with no funds to trade with. I don't have any other wealthy friends, whom I can approach, meaning I have to start looking for "customers" for my Forex services. But I have no experience with business. I have no problem with trading, my returns are pretty good and consistent. However, the business side of it is what troubles me. This is where I'd appreciate your help.
Basically, I don't want to go and trade for any bank/hedge fund, because the whole idea, why I was drawn to trading in the first place, was that I can do it from my laptop while traveling around the world, enjoying life, and having no bosses to answer to.
This business is officially known as Forex account management - the client deposits his money with a broker, he remains the only one to withdraw from the account, and the trader can only open/close positions. The client sees at all time what is going on with his balance and he can close it whenever he wishes to. There are several web sites, offering similar services. Most of them seem very unprofessional to me, and I wouldn't personally trust my money with them.
So what do you guys suggest that I do? Try to have someone make for me a trust-inducing web site? Try to somehow get to know rich people with money to invest? Or anything else? I'd be glad to hear what you have so say.
Just to clarify, this thread is not about Forex trading per se, it's about the business around it.
