Not really sure we have any feelings of guilt...guilt about what?

That is correct. The individual decides if/when and the size of the trade. We give them what to do and at what price, they decide.

Times are so different now, that our experience is absolutely of no reference to you, in the slightest. When we started almost NO ONE with degrees in finance/economics went into trading side...they all went into corporate finance.When trading exploded, we found ourselves in right place at right time. We literally had 0 competition. And that is how we could set up on our own. When we set up, we were the (believe it or not) SECOND hedge fund in the whole of Europe. Incomparable to the present time and fierce competition.

If you look at Performance, it shows you the maximum amount of margin we have used. From memory, somewhere around $38k. This means, had you done everything we did, you would have utilised $38k to generate those P/Ls. But we would not want anyone shadowing us with less than 100k in liquid assets, not at our size. But if we send an Alert to Buy/Sell 4 lots of something, there is no reason someone could not do it with 1 lot. Therefore the $20k-30k mark is really the absolute minimum.

I would recommend a simple long only equity fund. You are so young that if you pay in monthly you are bound to average out a very good return over the decades. You do not need to time the market. As far as I know, there is nothing like us anywhere else. The charities are listed on the website, but anyone is welcome to donate directly to whatever charity they hold dear.
