Welcome back Zulu-fans!Well I have to hand it to the programmers over at Zulutrade for some new features they quietly slipped in in the last day or 2. These are great features and definitely worth a look.
First up, click on the Performance tab and click "Show Advanced Filters". There's a new checkbox to filter on traders that are trading their own money. Clicking this box shows a total of 55 traders trading their own funds versus over 2,600 active providers on the system. Right at the top of the list in terms of number of followers is Got Pips?
This filter by itself is incredibly useful. Its interesting to note, however that of the top 20 traders on the Zulu system by Live trade listed here Top providers by Live Trade, none of them trade their own money. It was interesting to see Trendcatcher on the list since we've often remarked that he trades like its his own real money.
Next up, click the provider history page for TheKillerz and note the little flag indicating his country of origin. Now scroll down and click on the new "Live Followers" tab.
Now you can see the live accounts that are following that provider, and how each of them has done in terms of total pips earned with that provider.
Take a look and you can see me in there "FXCM 16010xx" and that I earned 271 pips following TheKillerz. You can also see FXCM11xx from Germany who is following a whole bunch of recent favorites from Coolie1997, Bigwin, Cheetah, EliteCapital, King Trade and TheKillerz as well as Surfing which i've never really considered following.
This last feature seems like a bit of an invasion of privacy - kind of like your stock broker disclosing your account positions to their other customers. But its all anonymous enough, so I overall I like it. It provides a whole new way of fishing for promising providers.
Let us know your comments, useful feature or invasion of privacy?
Its you chance to speak out, Zulu-fans. Check back later for comments.
I was noticing some of those new features today. Not too bad. I don't know that I show up under TheKillerz as a live user, as there were two from US and I did not appear to be one of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your really nice work Tcxmon! This is FXCM16xx from Germany you just mentioned in your post. It's my first comment but i was reading every news since about one month now.
ReplyDeleteWhen I found your blog i had same live-providers as you but without EliteCapital (got this one from you and closed the recent loosers manually - so im still lucky with this one - thanks!). I just wish I had found your blog much earlier - it took me 4 demo accounts and about 3 .xls to find the them, hehe. You did a really good job!
Surfing can still be found there, but thats an issue on the platform - I already disabled this one cause he couldn't get back up fast enough after hitting my stop. Isunia has been removed completely.
Thanks for all your work and get on winning!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comments and kind words.
If you have any provider picks that we may have overlooked, please let us know, the more eyes the better.
Also, I'm having a better week than last, but there's still a few days left, so we'll see.
Thanks again for reading and the comments,
Chris
