New to WSO - Ole timer in Calif
Hello all!
I live in central California and have been involved in the development of strategies and trading for about 30 years. I have experience with stocks, futures and forex. I understand options, but never really focused on them. In todays world, most everything I do is automated.
Mine has not been a easy path. I had thought that if I could first develop a method, an approach to trading the rest would be a cake walk - WRONG. Once the method was develop, I had thought that deploying it in the real world would be simple - WRONG. Having finally solved the many issues that separated the theoretical results vs live, I thought the capital / deals would start - Wrong. I produced very strong audited results, surely now I could launch! - Wrong
I have made many mistakes in my life, but it would seem that one of the biggest seems to be how foolish I was about my assumptions. It would seem, the quality of the network is more important and I would even say location then ones ability to make money. I have spent years with sub-par people promising to deliver the world, all hype wonderful to the ears and imagination while devastating to your dreams, goals and checkbook.
The webmaster asked what I hop to get out of this.
I want capitalize on my experience and developments. I need the guidance to make that happen.
Being older and wiser I need to help people from making the same mistakes.
welcome to the site!
Thank you
Threw you a silver banana old timer. How can we help?
Hi Dick,
I am trying to get from point A to point B. Point A is that I have market experience and understand technology. I know most of the time what works and won't. I have developed successful strategies that have been verified. Point B is utilizing all of this to the benefit of those I work with and myself. A number of attempts at creating an entity have failed. Lots of symptoms but the problem was the wrong team.
Appreciate the help! DB
How have you tapped your network so far for either capital or expertise?
My network is more like a string between a couple of cans. In my last effort I contacted someone I know but had not spoken to in years. More of a junior VC type in Vancouver. He asked for a lot information which was provided, due diligence by the people he works with and connected me to a "trader" back east. I was told that everything was great and they were going to proceed.
You should get certified and do an AMA (ask me anything). Andy or Patrick can help. Good to see some experience here.
Thank you for the suggestion. Sent a request to Patrick.
