Pursuing a fund or total pivot
I recently started the process of getting my MBA and have the opportunity to make a major career pivot if needed.
I have a software background developing indicators and automated trading systems for retail and professional traders for about 15 years. I've been trading futures on and off through that time but very active for the past 3 years. I've hit a point where I have two styles of trading that I can likely sustain indefinitely and would both scale well with larger size.
Method 1: long only with a goal to outperform the market through timing and downside reduction. My mentor taught this to me and he has a live track record of 20 years outperforming. Hold period is hours to months (usually days).
Method 2: long and short with no correlation to market performance. I have less time and confidence with this but I've been live with it for 4 months. Volatility is higher than I'd like but each month has ended in the green.
Given the above context I'm trying to decide which of the following to pursue with all my focus.
1. Start a fund with my mentor. Focus on goal of beating the market. Concern is logistics of raising capitol and compliance costs
2. Go the wealth management route and allocate a portion of assets to futures trading
3. Find a firm to work for or with
4. Total pivot to a different industry and just keep trading on the side for myself
Your feedback and suggestions are all very welcome and appreciated
