Its not really that necessary for you to look up for professionals just to make up some trading for you instead on doing it manually with yourself. It is much more better to lose up funds with your own hands than lost those funds with the hands of others which would end up on regretting.
You wouldnt learn if somebody do able to take advantage or handles with your funds so its not really that suggested at all.
why would you want to lost the funds while you can hire a professional trader that trusted enough for you to put your funds to him
he has a point because we are the one who's responsible for our funds and entrusting to others is the least i will do,we can learn trading and do the trades though risk is there and losses are indeed but also this is same way that we will learn if we lose sometimes all traders came to this stages thats why we need only small amount on our trials and eventually the capital will increase the time we learn enough
but this is OPs prerogative if what he wanted to the fund and looking for trusted account with good experience in trading will bring him comfort i think
