Found the FOREX
Sound familiar? Well, it should. Every time you read about a managed fund, or FOREX trading system, this is exactly what your are buying into. Obviously, you would never give your money to a fund if they can't provide consistent profits, and in most cases a "detailed" view of historical results.
O.k. I am getting ahead of myself. Let me take a step back and explain the question I am trying to answer.
Who should I let manage my account?
To me, there is a very simple answer to this question. YOU SHOULD MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT. No other individual in this world understands your strengths, weaknesses, and tolerances better than you.
Yet there seems to be a never ending growth of funds and/or trading systems available online. Every one of them, of course, show substantial profits in the past. The question, then, is this.
Why are they sharing this great fortune with us? Why not just invest more of their own money, which they have just recently earned, and increase their profits?
There is a relatively limitless amount of money available in the FOREX. Why would someone want to earn 25% of your profit as a management fee instead of 100% of theirs. Because both of those things can not happen at the same time.
Every FOREX broker offers guaranteed fills on your orders under normal market conditions. This means that a $1 order is treated the same as a $1,000,000 order (whatever the maximum is with your FOREX broker). So, as long as your trade is accurate, you will have no problem getting as much currency as you like.
