Been getting interest from people wanting to back my trading but struggling with how much to reveal.
Need to show I’m profitable and have a solid approach without basically handing over my exact system. What’s worked for you guys when pitching?
Don’t give away your secret sauce, but share enough to build trust. Post your monthly returns, max drawdown, win rate, and how much you risk per trade. Tell them you focus on major pairs or commodities - just don’t reveal your exact entry signals or timeframes. Talk about your risk management: how you size positions and where you set stops. Honestly, most investors just want to see consistent profits and that you won’t blow up their money. They don’t care about your exact indicators. Get a verified track record on MyFXBook. Keep the technical stuff vague, but show you’ve got a system that actually works.
Focus on your market sessions and position sizing.
Show results spanning 6+ months and explain your overall approach - just don’t mention specific indicators or exact timeframes.
Skip the actual trading signals - focus on your risk management and performance numbers instead. Show them how you deal with losing streaks, size your positions, and which markets you trade. Don’t worry about revealing your exact entry/exit methods. Most serious investors just want to see steady growth and controlled drawdowns anyway.
