If these results are real (i.e. not sim): Why would one who owns a cash cow that coughs
up 80€ 5 times on average days look for people to share the cow?
(From the stats, I only see one reason: The recovery periods after each failed trade are far too
long (up to 20 trades on average) for a scalping system.)

Moreover: Noone asked for your account data.
But you even seem to have severe problems with the question if the statistics aren't only sim.
You certainly don't have to provide proof. To your credit, you are not trying to sell any services but you are asking to be shot at by showing good results like this on Ninjatrader. Most people know how easy it is to fabricate account performance on this platform
This resonates with me a lot. I lurk and check out the posts that i feel are compelling. But if there is something I want to discuss or an idea i find personally interesting, I can not share it due to NDAs and liability issues. Which really cuts down …

I've been approached a few times to trade private money, but I would imagine for most people you'll need to do more than just make a few posts on a forum. Much more.
@artemiso wrote a good post about finding money, but he's probably since deleted it.
Borrow: Generally people in your position enter some kind of trading arrangement with a prop group - mostly in Chicago near the CBOT building. Depending on the provisions, this often ends up being some tightly restricted form of …
