Thanks for the reply!

Ive already gone through their FAQ page, but it doesnt explain many things about how their system works...

Like the ranking of the signal providers and what settings should be used?

Also hedging and scalping is allowed?

Hi! A little late response, but i just discovered this forum :)

Hedging is allowed, depending on the broker you choose. Non-US brokers allow hedging. If you live outside the US you wont have a problem.

Scalping doesnt really work with zulutrade though...

Hello. I'm live with ZuluTrade and I wish to get in touch with other users to share winning strategies. To get my ZuluTrade Advanced Settings just drop an email to (Moderator: Please no email distribution, people can private message you - email address removed)

With the recent performance of the No1 provider in followers, fly on the wall and the impact he may had in many accounts (leading them to losses or a margin call), Id like to recommend some settings for him:

2 max open positions and depending on the lot size you use, 1 lots per position. This way you can follow his strategy to keep the trades open until they reach positive. This provider does not use a safe stop value, which is quite risky, but I think he is in knowledge of the market he is trading (GBP/JPY pair only)

PT multistation trading platform also has a trading community (called BeTrade) but, unlike Zulu, the community is within the platform itself, where you can share signals, sell signals, search for frinds to follow based on trading criteria (market, performance history, instruments, etc), view other traders' performances, etc...

I dont think he is a good signal provider, I dont know why so many people follow him.

I suggest you look for a provider that sets a stop/limit, isnt obsessed with 100% winning trades and has a low DD.

There are much better providers out there, you just need to look for them :cool:

maybe you're right! But I think that we should work on your system! I did this: he took no tracer expert, optimize it, ran a test and picked up the indicators give accurate signals and is ready

Yeah but it is not web based, so you cant access it from anywhere...plus I dont understand how do they get paid?

 

They get paid by pips. I don't remember exactly how much. I think it was an 1/8 of a pip per 4 or something like that.

Well I still find zulutrade much more user friendly. Plus the stats and performance of providers are very clearly presented so one can see exactly each providers trading trend.

Providers in zulu are also paid in pips/trade i think 0.4 or something. I dont know will have to look into both more.

If you have a live account you should get the new desktop widget! Pretty useful real-time live account monitoring tool, without the need to be logged in the zulu page!

Also they changed their demo system and demos are fully customizable

The usual deal is 1/2 in, 1/2 out. Unless they do a huge amount of volume.

Then they could probably negotiate a better deal.

Searching around other forex forums I found an interesting post on how to select good provider, I paste it here:

 

-look for providers that trade from a live account (green or blue $ next to their profile)

-DD in pips (not %) less than 2k pips or %DD less than 30%

-average pips/trade more than 20

-average trade time around 2-3hours but no less than 30mins

-trading more than 15weeks

-check which broker the provider is using compared to mine and look at the slippage charts.

-Monthly PnL (very important IMO).

 

Think its quite an interesting method :)

Thats one problem I face with zulu too. I dont know, try various settings/providers on your demo to see :)

Personally I dont set a custom stop but I set a custom limit, but not with all providers.

Dont risk too much though

Ok, I think now I get it! You allow small lots and trades each time for the providers, so you can have enough margin available and not hit a margin call, until the trades go green? At least thats what 2 providers I have on my demo do

There are two ways to deal with this and benefit:

1. Only allow 1-2 max open positions and calculate how much margin you will need for this provider

2. Avoid providers that leave their trades open until they go green and use providers that set a S/L and trade from a live account (green $ next to their profile)

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
