Ridiculous, I have experienced such as scam methods. Long story but I will describe it shortly. A Facebook user has been managing a trading portfolio for a few users. Then he returns a good profit for a few months then more traders start to trust him and attempt to send a big amount to him. At the end that portfolio manager skipped with the funds by claiming that his wallet has been hacked. So, don't trust anybody with your valuable funds. Do it yourself. Just imagine, if someone can give you such a monthly return then he wouldn't charge $500, rather he would trade by himself and become a multi-millionaire.
Valid point! I get your perspective.
So here is how I do it and I am okay with you not trusting. You have your reasons to doubt and I respect it one 100%
There are 2 ways:
1) When I take the client's portfolio which means the login details, the account allows for you to lock your withdrawal which means people can trade from your account but they cannot withdraw. For withdrawal, you have some other permissions, email authentication and things like that which makes sure I do not transfer your funds. And that is a trust factor.
However, we take this option only when the client himself is not okay with option number 2 which is:
2) I do the following:
a) Understand your investment amount
b) Understand the risk appetite
c) Understand the time frame of investment
d) Share the returns of
high risk, high to moderate risk, moderate risk, moderate to low risk and low risk profile. Then discuss and understand the clien't appetite and return expectation,
e) Having done, I divide the client's portfolio into 3:
i) Top coins
ii) Moderately risky coins
iii) High-risk coins
The proportion varies on all the other factors.
e) Based on my research of different coins I ask the client to invest - This is
done over Skype, Whatsapp, Phone call and if okay, Email as well.
f)
The capital is divided into 4: Trading fund, short term investment fund, medium term investment fund and contingency fundg) After all this is done, coins are given to invest from a 3-month horizon, some from a 7-day horizon and some positional trades to be entered and exited in a couple odays.
At any point, 25% of the capital is not invested as this is a contingency fund - In case I am wrong, I have something to hedge, rebuy, and things like that.
Help them with coins, entry points and exit points. Since different time zones are different, not everyone is available all the time which is why some of the clients ask for options which is when I suggest Option #2. But it is always good to let the client keep the funds. That eases up my work as well. You do the trading, get the profits, share shreenshots and PayPal me my portion of the profits.
That's how I have been functioning for now. I personally prefer option #2 as well, which involves a 1hour call with the client to understand all of the above before devising the portfolio.
Some coins which are too risky won't be shared with a low risk client and so on. So that is how I function as of now. happy to discuss further if you have any questions.
