I have a fully automated portfolio that I have been working with that has proven to be extremely successful and has been generating some out of this world returns(>5% month) in its paper trading account.

Do any of you have any Ideas of getting this off the ground, or using my experiences and Ideas to gain a career in the quant space?I would like to kickstart this thing but thought maybe some of you would have a few ideas worth hearing.

Just trade it small and be patient. Nobody with savings wants to make money off it tomorrow. They want to make money for years and years. I think I would give up 2% a year, in exchange for not having to find another place to put my money every year. If I had money
