ZuluTrade

kama took a week off, returned Mon, and took 5 trades in close succession

x3 euro, shorting (2997ish) into major support 1.3000,
why x3 and why short into major support!

............i dont see much to support these 3 technically

he also bought usdchf, which is not so bad, but then minutes later took a second position

why? again, seems a little erratic

how will he manage these 5, which seem more emotional than technical

in the past he holds and holds until red turns green, which as we all know drives only over a cliff

so which set of trades will it be? this set? or will it be postphoned until a future date?

how about instead of actually criticizing and analyzing other people's trading and playing in smart, you show us your type of trading :cool: eh? what do you say?

what you say is correct. Th followers are mad and kamas set up is designed to have few losers and regular profits because that is what followers demand. Sadly it is not real trading just waiting for things to come good. He was nearly 500 down earlier today,if it had gone another 30m or 40 pips it would have been a dd of 800 pips which is nearly 20% of his total,and would have wiped out his followers accounts as most use stupid leverage and have only been following for a short while

If someone is playing with millions of $ from others money then they should accept criticism ...

The above says it all. Most of his followers are mad punters with stupid and suicidal levels of risk. They deserve to be wiped out. (I am a great believer in Darwin's Laws of Survival)
 
agreed, this is a problem with so many of them........they cant take a loss

it can work for a time, but the market catches up with this type of trader eventually, and over the cliff they go

and yes its not "trading", in the sense that risk and therefore longevity are not variables considered in the strategy, at least not skilfully.

*i notice the no# 1 follower (or what was) lost ~$462,000 in the past 24hrs trading kama's, saved's and 88's signals; closed at margin-call it seems: ZuluTrade - Performance

how do you find this out
 
happily, it all happens live here,

but in fairness, i am merely applying the fundamentals of risk management to kama's account, and pointing out where the may be some problems

you seem intent on prancing around pretending you're going to become super rich following kamas signals

i'm suggesting, if you take the time to read and understand his account, that there are some problems, and if they arent rectified, he'll take you and your account over the edge

it is not that he is playing, and managing 18m usd is different from having this account actually following - i mean how much is following him has nothing to do with the size of his trading account. Nonetheless, i also think that he should have closed the trades already like yesterday was a good day for it. Today seems like things are getting out of control....:eek:

I call that type of trading playing , just wait and see , and when he is followed by 18 million $ there are no guarantees that he wont wipe out half or all the funds even if the followers have their own settings anything can happen in leveraged FX trading .

yep.to me its just like going down the casino and backing 35 of the 36 numbers every spine. you could win for a long time,but do you want to be in when it loses 36 stake units
 
well, seems like he know what he is doing so all's fine :)
he is getting off the hook and by the end of the day, imo he will close with profit :cheesy:
 
I am not too impressed with Kama-Spot's risk management skills either but to engage his responsibility with regard to his followers' money is a step too far for me.

Providers have the right to do anything they want provided they respect the rules set out by Zulutrade, and their responsibility stops there. Whatever amount of money is then won or lost by followers is their fault and their fault only and to infer otherwise is clearly insane.
If followers are not happy with the possibility of being wiped out then they can
A. pick other safer providers and compromise on returns
B. request stricter rules from Zulutrade
C. trade by themselves
D. find another passtime where money is not involved
But at no point it is Kama-Spot or any other provider's duty to implement proper risk management. The contract you sign when you create a follower account is pretty clear about that.

Besides, Kama-Spot may be gambling, or playing, and not trading, but the objective of Zulutrade is to make money by having people follow your signals. The objective is not to become the greatest trader of all time. Providers on Zulutrade are not hedge fund managers or CTAs yet they are being judged as such. It is great that some providers do try their best to trade properly and it's praiseworthy I think but at the end of the day no signal provider on Zulutrade would pick praise over money.
So what if Kama-Spot gambles and wins? 20000 followers also prefer to gamble rather than trade. Let him do his thing, I'm sure in 3 months if the market has not gone against him which is absolutely possible he will have made so much money that he will slowly fade away and many people would have made money with him. Or he'll bust and they will have lost a lot, but the type of people who put big faith in Kama-Spot to make them millionaires would have eventually lost their money gambling on something else anyways.

he is playing a dangerous game,but im pleased for the followers except for that guy that lost a fortune

Which one are you referring too? most probably he got too greedy and put all his account on kama.....eei lets not forget about the slippage...this also plays a major role in losses...

how much more stricker rule more than 700 pips dd would you propose? how much more strict rules of trading? people were complaining for so long, i remember....I dont think this guy will loose anyhow, he seems very serious...

For starter they should reduce the maximum allowed number of open positions for the same pair , 30 is very high and risky and meaningless unless u r a commission hunter or a martingale trader ...
