Fellas,
it's very interesting how you was capitalized after you became consistently profitable?
I'm trading 3y by now and it seems I started to be consistently profitable on my small retail account. But I'm undercapitalized and I don't want to risk more than 2% of my capital per trade in order to earn more.
Please share how did you get a capital when you was undercapitalized or any ways you see for a consistently profitable trader to get more capital.
Thanks.

The old fashioned way....I earned it.
As far as for attracting investors (in my experience)...if you are profitable enough...they will find you and you will have to fend them off with a stick.

I live really poor. I could give a retarded donkey's butthole about nice things. Crappy apartment, crappy truck, crappy clothes. I'll choose watching my bankroll grow over spending it any day. I cut grass for somebody else, live with a girlfriend who makes just as much as me, and we are able to put away about 1k a month because we live so poor.

Yes, I'm making 30% per quarter, because I managed to write my own custom filters to scan through US stock universe to find specific patterns(which were back-tested to get positive expectations) in stocks in play. So when my filters fire - I just look at the context of a particular pattern and make a decision to enter/skip the trade. It's like to take best from both systematic and discretionary trading.
But where to find those guys, i'd not poke them with stick - i'd rather cooperate with them, I just don't know where to find them)) Any suggestions appreciated.
