[alphadude]

[Lord Flasheart]

Zulu -$200(-2%) and demmo now closed.tradency -$10,000(10%)

 

[hellrise]

-10.000?? Were they any wining trades in tradency or just plain loses?

mmm biggert dd than gain...
keep me posted with more stats.

 

[Lord Flasheart]

there were winners. The 10k is at mini lot rate so comparing it to zulu it would only be a 1k loss which is still huge

 

[hellrise]

Comparing the 2 (zulu and tradency) did you experienced any executional issues? Were the services both stable ? Did anything crash?

 

[alphadude]

am down -900 on SignalTrader; due to one of the SPs "BuBeGBP" doubling up on losing positions.

he has lost 10% in two days; on GBPUSD; and kept adding to losers.

his average leverage per position was 0.5; and kept increasing the leverage; and just now added a new position with 16x. That is 32 times the average position size he has been trading.

perfect Martingale.

attached is stats for the portion of my demo acc following this SP over 3 days period. Watch the bottom chart; the leverage as it builds up

 

[alphadude]

and here is the chart of open positions; total of 18 so far

 

[alphadude]

to be fair to the SignalTrader; here are the performance portions of other SPs:
SP1: BuBeTrade (same guy who operates BuBeGBP)
SP2: TacticalFX

so far they are performing well; but judging from the trading behavior; they are also Martingale strategies. It is just a matter of time before they turn pale shape.

occasionally,but that was probably due to me overloading my pc

 

[hellrise]

So how are the demo accounts holding up? Do you keep loosing on both platforms?

havent done zulu this month,tradency nearly 20% down

 

[robbert]

havent done zulu this month,tradency nearly 20% down

so much down tradency, eh? ...did you even gain anything....:|

 

[hellrise]

I'm having problem understainding the stats in tradency , can someone explain to me how is the Max DD calculated in there? It does not seem to be related to the history of trades. I see a max drawdown of -537 but i cant find it in history.

 

[alphadude]

If the stats are not clear enough; stay away from that site.

if the services are good enough; believe me; the founders will be happily delivering the floating DD stats to you; in a silver plate

that is correct !
btw how are your zulutraders going on these week?

 

[alphadude]

my zulu account expired; didn't bother to create another demo acc.

my SignalTrader demo account has gone bad. Down 4%.

One of the SP am following have gone crazy on averaging in; and have lost 15% of account as a result.

 

[hellrise]

Hmm i've asked about the Max DD of tradency and they replied that they are calculating it by the difference between the highest gain in the strategies trades to the biggest loss in the selected time frame...so i guess in order to see how much dd a strategy has on open trades i have to scan all the history of the strategy.

 

[robbert]

I see. and what about tradency?
I couldn't bother to continue with my demo.,..
