But as my students are getting more experienced, i am getting more free time, which will enable me to offer this service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, after speaking with a number of brokers that offer managed Stocks\/Forex trading accounts, i have decided to offer this service to a select number of clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please read below for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a Managed Trading Account?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ManagedTrading Accounts, are accounts that are set up by individuals or investors, who wish to have exposure to the lucrative Stocks\/Forex market, but may not have the knowledge required to enable them to trade their own account, or they may not have the time required to trade their own account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the name suggests, managed Stocks\/Forex trading accounts are fully managed on behalf of the individual or investor, by a professional trader or money manager.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do managed trading accounts work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Trading account is opened for the investor. It must be a broker that offers managed Stocks\/Forex trading accounts, as not every broker does. I will advise you of the broker i use for managing client accounts, and help you through the whole process of opening the account. When the account has been opened and funded, The investors account is then linked to the money managers master account, and all the trades that are taken on the master account, are automatically copied to the investors account. Its safe and secure, as no one has access to the funds in the investors account apart from the investor. The money manager cannot withdraw funds from the investors account, and the investor retains full access and control over the account at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the ideal way to have your money traded for maximum safety, control, and true transparency. Investors can check the balance of their account at any time, see the daily trade activity, or withdraw or deposit funds whenever they please.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you become a client, and take advantage of this service?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be considered as a client you do not need to have any experience of Stocks\/Forex trading, but you do need to have substantial funds to invest. The recommended startup capital for the managed account is $3000 USD (and expected return will be about $25,000 in four weeks)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike many managed Stocks\/Forex trading accounts, i will not be charging you a management fee. I will only be charging you a percentage (20%) of the profits i generate for your account. So you need to have a large account balance to enable me to generate large profits, to cover my fee, but if i do not make a profit for you, you will not have to pay me a penny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find attached file and fill the form below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ps: If you do not have the required funds for this opportunity we could consider a lower investment just let me know<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is how you can report this imposter account<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have reported this account.\u00a0 Please do so as well.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"p-rich_text_list p-rich_text_list__ordered\" data-stringify-type=\"ordered-list\" data-indent=\"0\" data-border=\"0\">\n<li data-stringify-indent=\"0\" data-stringify-border=\"0\">go to\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mike-bellafiore-30014a269\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mike-bellafiore-30014a269\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mike-bellafiore-30014a269\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li data-stringify-indent=\"0\" data-stringify-border=\"0\">below the name, there are 3 buttons: Connect , Message, More, please click on More<\/li>\n<li data-stringify-indent=\"0\" data-stringify-border=\"0\">Click on Report \/ Block<\/li>\n<li data-stringify-indent=\"0\" data-stringify-border=\"0\">Click on &#8220;continue to report&#8221;<\/li>\n<li data-stringify-indent=\"0\" data-stringify-border=\"0\">Report Mike Bellafiore or entire account<\/li>\n<li data-stringify-indent=\"0\" data-stringify-border=\"0\">This person is impersonating someone<\/li>\n<li data-stringify-indent=\"0\" data-stringify-border=\"0\">submit report<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our amazing trading community at SMB.<\/p>\n<p>Train and trade well.<\/p>\n<p>Bella<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/smb-disclosures?inf_contact_key=86e68ad95cfd2835f919c6dd5a8f153af651f238aa2edbb9c8b7cff03e0b16a0\">Important disclosures<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mike Bellafiore is the Co-Founder of SMB Capital, a proprietary trading desk, and SMB Training, which provides\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/broadcast.smbtraining.com\/smbwebinar1\/?utm_source=Blog-Bella\">trading education<\/a>\u00a0in stocks, options, and futures.
