Welcome back Zulu-traders.
If you've been reading this blog lately, its turned into a bit of a love-fest for
Coolie1997. Until now he's been a bit of a mystery with no presence on Twitter or elsewhere.
Anyway, he's now surfaced in some comments to my post below "Coolie 1997 rises to the top". We can't be 100% sure its him - but he seems genuine enough
Here are the detail of the exchange:

I also like to continue winning for all of you, but it depends on my sixth sense(笑).

Okay, I get the reference to your sixth sense and the funky characters.
Coolie - if that's you, drop us another hint or something. The more we know about you, the more confident we are in your abilities. Your record is impressive, but your description doesn't give us much to go on.
Cheers, Tcxmon

My Japanese profile says the same thing in detail.
Tonight I will tell you some more things... using an English dictionary.
Please wait till then. Bye now.

Coolie is not me. It's my son born in 1997(笑).
You may not see (笑) right in your screen. It means sort of lol, but not so loud.
Anyway, I am not a professional trader. My real trades are swap-point purposed long-term ones. Zulu trades are not real because I am not confident in my abilities as you are.
My (almost) only strategy at Zulu is to increase real users. For example, if users don't like me to hold two or more positions of the same currency pair at the same time, I will not.
And of course users like such signal providers who make profit constantly. So I'm trying to do that.
My profile of Zulu is basically true. I don't believe that you can forcast future rate by analysing past movement. So I am not interested in technical analysis and don't have knowledge of that. I don't use any systems either.
Then what are grounds for me to buy and sell? Sixth sense is not 100%(笑).
I'll tell you some more about it tomorrow.
If you have any questions, please ask me. I will answer almost anything.
See you tomorrow. Father19??

An interesting response to be sure. Okay here's what we know:
1) He's from Japan and the funky characters in his profile are Japanese characters not redendering properly in my browser
2) Coolie is his son and he was born in 1997
3) He's agnostic about both fundamental and technical analysis and instead relies on his 'Sixth Sense" for trading.
This last one is both reassuring and scary at the same time.
How can someone without a system make 574 pips with 20 straight winners across 10 different currency pairs with no drawdown more of more than 100 pips?
I don't know and I suppose that's the point. Its pretty hard to out smart the crowd in currency trading competing with the likes of Barclays and Goldman Sachs just to name two.
He might as well be counting tea leaves or duck feathers. In any case, he meets our criteria for a signal provider, so what else do we need know?
Let's face it, trading on Zultrade is a leap of faith and they only thing we have to go on is his record. And unlike the victims of a Ponzi-scheme, we have the stop-loss in place to protect our capital.
In any case, Coolie 1997 is open for questions. So readers, if you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment below and perhaps Coolie will be kind enough to answer. In the meantime, let's hope he keeps up his winning ways.
