Have you ever wondered if you could hand over your trading account to someone else—someone who could grow it, share the profits, and save you the hassle of managing it yourself? Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
But here’s the harsh truth: Most account managers are not what they claim to be. They don’t trade their own money, which means they take reckless risks with yours. The result? Blown accounts, empty promises, and frustration.
The Real Problem with Account Managers
The rise of account managers pitching their services is nothing not new. But how do you separate the winners—the ones who can double or triple your account—from the losers? It’s no easy task.
That’s where my friend Nick’s story comes in.
Nick’s Experiment: The Search for Real Talent
Nick was curious. He had seen how prop firms discovered and incentivized great traders to trade sustainably. Could he do the same with account managers?
He decided to test the waters. Over weeks, he evaluated 20 account managers, putting their skills to the ultimate test. Here’s what he uncovered:
Most Managers Avoid Transparency: They won’t trade on demo accounts, forcing you to risk your own money to see their true colors.
High Risk, Low Accountability: Many managers take reckless risks, knowing it’s not their money on the line.
But Nick persisted. He gave each manager a chance to prove themselves by trading a dmeo and a live account. Only two of the twenty passed his rigorous evaluation.
See here some examples
The Secret to Picking Winners
Here’s what made those two stand out:
Low to Moderate Risk: They avoided high-risk trades and focused on steady growth.
Doubling the Account: They achieved a crucial milestone—doubling the account (2X).
Why does 2X matter? After doubling the account, all profits can be withdrawn, leaving you with risk-free returns. Even if the account eventually hits a rough patch, the earlier profits far outweigh the losses.
Nick’s Golden Rule: Withdraw profits often—ideally multiple times a week. This ensures you’re always ahead of the game. Also in a case of blown up account, Nick recommends to negotiate with the trade managers a "free of charge" recovery. That would mean to 2X the next account without profit sharing.
Can You Do This Too?
Nick’s journey proves that it is possible to find exceptional account managers who trade sustainably. But you need to know how to evaluate them—and how to incentivize them to prioritize your success.
Curious about the exact process Nick used?
Don’t leave your money in the hands of amateurs. Take control, find the real pros, and unlock the potential for sustainable, risk-free profits.
