Thread: How to create a valid trading history to show investors?

Friends, I've been trading in different products for about five years now: from stock to raw materials and also forex. All this time I've been through three tables of capital (prop desks)

You can try Zulutrade or Myfxbook. I'm not sure if they're any good for this specific case, but if you manage to use them, you'll have a history with those services.

Hello, You might be interested in reviewing this: https://www.mercenarytrader.com Trading is a reflection of your personal flaws. Either you fix them, or the market will fix you by force.

Don�t worry so much about showing your history to investors. I would worry more about IRS. If they find out that you�re making profits and you can�t justify how you won them, you�re going to have a serious problem. Why don�t you go straight with a normal broker and have one of the four big ones audit your operations? Nothing is more legitimate than that. And, of course, your Excel files won�t impress anyone.

Don't worry about it, buddy. The broker I work with already handles that issue. I get 50% of the profits as consulting fees, and he gets the rest. So IRS doesn't even know I'm operating. I do it from its own account. Thank you.

Thank you and greetings.

Open a real account on MT4, as you're still using it for graphics. Operate with real money and copy exactly the operations you do. So you'll have a history in a real account to show your test results.

You could use the mt4i operations publisher. It allows you to analyze your performance from various different angles and metrics.

Another option is to use external software such as Tradervue or Edgewonk. They are very good at keeping a professional trading journal and generating detailed reports that do impress investors or prop tables.

If the software doesn't let you export anything, all you have left is documenting it on the outside. Open a micro account in another broker and replicate your trades in parallel. So at least you have an independent and verifiable record.
