For example 25% doesn’t mean you risk 25% of you money on a single trade. Otherwise you loose all of your money in a few trades.
ZuluTrade call this feature the “Margin Call -O- Meter”.
Here is the exact definition from ZuluTrade:
"Margin Call-o-meter ™
Based on your custom settings, equity, leverage and the selected providers’ past performance, the ‘Margin Call-o-meter’ tool will calculate the risk of exposing your account and approaching a Margin Call. So the riskier your portfolio, the more Margin Call-o-Meter moves from green to red and displays relevant warning messages. The Margin Call-o-meter is simply a precautionary measure that we take to inform our clients about their exposure. As its calculations also consider the selected providers’ past performance, it calculates the most pessimistic scenario based on their worst results so far. Generally the greater the percentage generated by the ‘Margin Call-o-meter’, the more exposed your account is – it is advised to adjust it according to how risky you wish your portfolio to be: e.g. less than 50% is classed as safe, up to 100% is acceptable risk and anything above 100% indicates a considerably high amount of risk with your selected portfolio."
I am new to Forex trading, recently started trading . i was taking help from a broker but all the deals he asks me to put ends me in loss. when i ask him to teach how is placing the bids he just says we will do it another day. i want to learn how to do this properly . can any one help me learn trading
No it means 25% of your total account equity, which is already on margin. But anyhow each of us can do the % calculation by yourself the thing is how good are you in account management and less risky of course.
I made quick video review about ZuluTrade for the beginners. In this video I tell you how I pick my traders and how to setup your money management (incl. ZuluGuard).
Sorry in advanced for my grammar mistakes in the video, but english is not my native language. If you have any questions or suggestion feel free to write me.
Interesting points you’ve put there…i really liked your analysis! and fyi, your English is totally fine !
sellection you put is more or less based on the ranking right? No scalpers i dont like them either myself - mean it is obvious that scalping trading won’t really work with the zulutrade platform model, but they still intend that supposedly is good thus profitable.
anyhow, good job on this video you put!
Great my fren its a good start for beginner.
Hey one question i notice that there is a Reverse setting inside Setting. So does u guys use it before and like to know how it works.
Cos i notice sometime that the trading got bad and should i select the Reverse setting and leave it there or do i need to close the trading?
@EDDY Mo: I use different ways to find these traders. One way is ZuluTrade Ranking thats right. Another way is the advanced search. Maybe I will make a more detailed video about that. Sometimes I see a comment at ZuluTrade about a potential trader or you guys here give me a good tip.
@feins: I read it the first time. Sounds really funny. I don’t used it actually, but this feature “turns bad trader in good a good trader”. Simply if a traders goes long your trading account goes short. This means reverse. Patent pending #60/862,317 Provisional
@aBax: you should use all the three ways in combinations. This is what exactly I am doing.
about the reverse settings - it does actually what it says it does. It copies the trade/s in reverse - this meaning a negative trade will appear positive in your follower account. This is better applied to traders that constantly lose - as per one loosing trade it is impossible to be predicted and applied the reverse trades.
