We are seeking successful FX traders for a series of interviews to be published in premium financial print and electronic media. Depending on the success of the series, there is the possibility for compilation of the interviews in a book in 2008. This is a good opportunity for successful private traders, both professional and retail, to raise their profile and/or attract investors. All styles and strategies are welcome under the conditions below.

This project is similar to Alexander Elder’s Entries and Exits, but is focused on spot and futures FX traders and does not restrict candidates to one trading model. Like Dr. Elder’s book, the priority is on qualified people with proven track records and on the quality of the content. This project is different from the “Market Wizards” books in that the traders who will be interviewed are ordinary people who have made a living from trading, rather than “supertraders.” The premise is that aspiring traders will better relate to these experiences than to those high flying market gurus interviewed by Jack Schwager.

Requirements

1. Must be a private professional or retail trader (prop firm and part time traders are okay).

2. Minimum experience is 5 years, with three of those years being profitable. May combine retail and professional experience.

3. Must present a minimum of six months' documentation, in the form of P/L statements from the broker/dealer.

4. Professional traders must have a minimum of $200K in their trading account at the time of the interview.

5. Retail traders must have a minimum of $20K in their trading account.

6. FX spot or futures trading must comprise more than 40% of total monthly transactions, by value.

7. Carry trades must not comprise more than 20% of total FX transactions.

8. Professional traders must earn all of their income from trading. Those making a living from analysis, speaking seminars, and other services will not be considered. Retail and part time traders must earn a minimum of 30% of their total income from FX trading.

NO SIMULATED P/L STATEMENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED. NO SIGNAL SELLERS OR SYSTEM HAWKERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. ALL DOCUMENTS OFFERED AS PROOF WILL BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED AND ALL REFERENCES CHECKED, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS.

A pre-qualification meeting will be arranged to determine how credentials will be established and how the interview should proceed. If both parties successfully agree to terms, the interviewer will email the questions to the interviewee well in advance. Should any questions be objectionable, they will be removed from the list. At this time, a contract will also be signed to protect the privacy of the trader. This process will be as collaborative as the trader has time for. The trader may reserve the right to retract the interview up until the final draft is submitted for publication.

Interviews will last from one to two hours if conducted via chat client software (of interviewee’s choice). Interviewee may also choose to conduct the interview by email.

No remuneration of any kind is promised or implied.

Hahaha so let me get this straight.

1) You are a nobody with a gmail account and this is your second post.

2) You want successful traders and you impose stringent rules on them.

3) You want people to tell you their secrets, and you don't want to pay them for it.

Hahahahaha.

Hahahahahahahaaha.

now you know why he's the 'lonely trader'

[MickMason]

Hey Soul, is that you!

Where you been hiding, not seen you around for a while....

[golhuntsleep]

Sounds like a GREAT idea...good luck getting successful, profitable traders to come forward and give up thier stratagies......thats usually the job of maybe marginaly successful traders who want to sell something because they are not making it trading...

[MickMason]

Damn I wish I had a secret strategy, perhaps I could repackage Fibonacci and tout it as my Holy Grail invention......

How are you doing Fred?
What I'm looking to do is set up an IB (Introducing Broker) for forex. I can raise money, but I am not a professional trader with a track record. My goal is to establish a relationship with a trader who has an audited track record, or a personal account that has a history of good returns for more than a year that I can market to prosective clients. My ideal trader must exhibit prudent risk management.
There is a lot of money to be made in forex. The problem is with forex there's a lot of bogus firm, traders who claim to be traders but are nothing more than wantabees who end up hurting clients.

PM me if anyone is interested. Thanks.
