I'm planning to invest - any input is appreciated

Hello all

I’m looking for advice before investing. Not sure if I should put it here or at the beginner thread, but anyway.

I’m planning to invest in forex, probably via copying trades, or having a fund manager trades my account, or other means.

My main concern now is separating the offers to find at least a decent one to take. Any suggestions on how to check these things out is highly appreciated:

  • trusted: how to know if he actually trade for profit and not only after commission
  • credibility: how to know if he actually has the capabilities to trade and generate profit
  • reasonable profit percentage? Is 10% per month is asking for too much?
  • should I go for the monthly paid one or the one who ask for profit sharing?
  • how much is considered safe initial investment? Is $1000 too much? Too small?

If there’s more feedback/suggestion that I did not ask above, please do

Thank you

If you are already wealthy enough to need a fund manager, I suspect you’re asking in the wrong place. But if you want to become wealthy, you could try trading. There’s lots of help available through this site and forum.

hi and thank you for the advice. I’m not saying that I’m “wealthy” and by fund manager I did not mean as someone who manages millions of dollars, but rather smaller services that offer to trade on your behalf for a fee or with profit sharing scheme.

Make sure you could an enforceable contract and don’t hand over the whole house.
