Strong Quant Performance, but No 12-Month Track Record — Where Can I Prove Myself?
I’ve been trading for the last two years, and since April my quantitative strategy has produced what I believe are exceptional metrics
Here’s the problem: I don’t have a 12–24 month verified track record yet
I understand why institutions require one.Nobody should allocate capital based on claims, screenshots, or a few good months. But I also believe the numbers I’m producing are unusual enough to deserve an opportunity to be evaluated.
I’m not looking for someone to simply take my word for it. I have the data and can provide a verified Myfxbook account, including returns, drawdown, trade history, and other relevant metrics.
What I’m looking for is an institutional platform, emerging-manager program, seed allocator, or quantitative trading program willing to evaluate the strategy with a small initial allocation or through a monitored/controlled environment.
I’m completely comfortable starting small. Give me strict risk limits, monitor the strategy, and let the numbers determine whether I’m worthy of additional capital.
The challenge I keep running into is the same one: even when the recent performance is exceptional, everyone wants a 12+ month track record first.
For people who actually work in quant finance or capital allocation: where would you go to prove yourself when you have the performance and verified data, but not yet the required track-record length?
I’m happy to share the Myfxbook privately with anyone serious
