Really think twice before you start managing money for someone else. I
tried to do this a few years back and it was one of the most difficult
things to do, and im not talking about the managing of the money, the
customers and clients can be VERY difficult to work with and can add a
tremendous amount of pressure on your trading. In the end I just shut it
down and gave everybody back their money. It wasn't worth the hassle. I
think Marty Schwartz talked about the same thing in his book Pit Bull. It
goes back to the thing where when your the hero everybody loves you, but
once it goes the other way, then every ten mins the phone will be ringing,
asking what is going on. This is not to say that it shouldn't be done. I
think with the right mix of client and methodology, it can be very
successful. But just remember that its one thing to trade for yourself and
all you have to do is worry about yourself. Its another thing to trade for
a group of different persoanlities, Keeping records for each and everyone of
them, trying to explain everything you do(What do you mean we got stopped
out?). Im not sure what your real motivation would be for starting one,
just make sure that you really know what your getting into before you do it.
