Outsized returns, where to apply for a trading job? (serious)
I have found myself able to massively beat the market Last 3 years. At first I thought it was a
fluke, then I did it for ~3 years in a row and found my niche (if you can call it that). I work in the sector so a lot of the understanding is first hand.
2019: Account 1: 46.49% Account 2 (partial year): 28.52%
2020: Account 1: 80.94% Account 2 : 59.62%
2021 (so far): Account 1: 18.73% Account 2 : 98.53%
Account 1 in 2021 is up ~50% in the last 3 months (in the last 3 month time period) as last years gains turned into the early dump this year and has lowered it. However I should beat the market at this rate by quite a bit as one point is was double digit negative drawdown. Account 2 I liquidated before the tech dump as a way to diversify and it paid off .
Keep in mind these are my retirement accounts, so I was never long options. I work in this sector, so I have learned a lot about how these companies grow, the risks, etc.
I am happy to send my trading statements as proof and can explain my thesis. If you read my post history you can probably figure out the sector.
I'm curious of if it is possible to leverage this into a prop trading job somewhere.
How much capital are each of these accounts? If anything less than 1MM, go get funded by one of the weird shitty companies where you can give a track record and they’ll leverage up capital and give you a max drawdown. If you’re as good as you think/say you are, you don’t need a firm like Optiver/IMC/DRW etc, they give you a very discretionary amount of bonus. If you’re as good as you think, go to one of the firms like Topstep, earn2trade, etc or look for someone who will fund your equities trading/leverage your capital to go earn 50-80% of the p/l. If you’re trading account is under 1MM your stats aren’t impressive at all, and if your trading accounts are over 1MM you don’t need a top tier prop shop. They will literally laugh you out of the door.
