Thank you for the kind words. this is exactly what I am trying to do as well.

In my case though, I rather trust somebody more specialized with my money, than myself..I realize where my weak points are and no matter how much I read and educate myself, the gap will always be there. needless to say that the easiest and painless this gap is filled the better

Cheers.
Eduard.

I think you just seemed so PRO Zulutrade that you came off as a possible REP. There is a lot of that on Forums of course.

Per 'trusting' someone else. Well, I met a bunch of people through Skype etc. that are Zulutrade 'Professionals' and I can tell you that if you truly knew them that you wouldn't 'trust' them any longer.

Some of them are just dudes learning to trade on someone else's dollar like so many other money firms. The best investors and operators are those that have their own skin in the game.

I realize Zulu has 'trades own money' or whatever, but that could be penny per pip.

Zulutrade is far from transparent and just mark my words. Those guys that are leading the pack today will not be leading the pack 1 year from now. Because they will be gone, blown the account, moved on and left investors in their wake. I wouldn't say all of them actually, but 99%.

They will just log back in with a new username and start over.

No risk for them to do so!

My sincere apologies, my intentions were not to sound like a rep, I suppose I got too enthused about it, that gave the wrong impression.
You speak from experience and I cannot neglect that. I suppose you have used the system quite longer than me.
So far the way I can see it to try to capture and scoop why they are on the top before the dd comes, I suppose this is the whole magic in it

I have noticed that system gives you the many accounts before each one has has and the little bomb indicating recklessness. This is enough info to consider to follow or not, I guess...

Most of those systems that they trade are regression systems for ranging markets. It could have changed as I haven't traded it in over a year as I stopped playing with it.

I do keep an eye on who is on top, who isn't.

I truly wish you luck to make money, but instead of spending time calculating who is/isn't good, you would be better off spending it on learning price action and some basic trading principals.

For instance, this journal is really really good and I suggest you follow this instead.

K.I.S.S. Journal

Well here is the start of my journal. I first of all like to say I've spent most of this year trying all sorts of methodology...I loaned out about 50% of my account. So with that said, I now plan on keeping it simple!

I will use

1. Price Action
2. …

thanks bluemele for the info, I will read through it and enlighten myself.

one point for the regression models, little that I learned in my econometric classes, I know that no matter what model you create, the prediction power stays for the next 6 months, correct? So, maybe to this we can attribute the instability of the ranking and the overall general providers performance..what is your opinion?

Well, I think big moves tend to happen dependent upon volatility. I think 6 months is pretty safe, but who knows. Sometimes a big move will happen in May, then another in October, then another in January.

Too hard to predict, and I wouldn't place too much weight on a hard number like 6 months and also they all trade different timeframes so there are micro fundamentals at play.

Ohh, no I definitely don't rely on the time frame it more somewhat as a limit. The big moves you mention are usually referred to the equity markets, isn't it? The Black Monday effect, the February effect, the Friday one, or a.k.a. the effect when people simply do not want to work and thus do not trade big volumes

But does this refer to Forex?What do you think? IN my opinion, due to the insane high volatility fundamentals just stop to exist...

I think it all 'depends'.

I think currencies have their own magic, but I do believe they are also highly correlated at certain times to market fundamentals.

It all depends and unfortunately you don't know why or when. There is your typical fundamental and technical analysis that one can do.

Zulutrade reconsidered the ranking system - those who were last week number one now went downhill. Now it is more trustworthy and represents reality more clearly. What do you think guys?

You are right, they seem to be using maybe a sharpe ratio now or something, not sure. It is MUCH BETTER! I think they actually might start understanding trading/traders!!!
