Selecting Signal Providers - A Science Or An Art?

One of the great improvements that autotrading services have introduced to the Forex industry is that they aggregate and review the trading signals of thousands of Traders so that talented Traders emerge as top of their game while the fake or fraudulent ones are eliminated. For the user though, the adventure for successful trading does not end here.

A common misconception of autotrading services’ users is that when they discover such a service, all they have to do is follow the trades of Traders that enjoy a top ranking and this should ensure successful trading. Instead, users should try and find Traders that are not only successful but that also match their own trading style. To this end, autotrading services have incorporated a host of features that enable their users to discover the right Traders for their portfolio. It must be made clear though that these features assist and are not a replacement for the effort that a user must put in order to manage their financial assets.

Forex trading is of a highly technical nature; autotrading is an attempt to simplify it and make it accessible to the masses. I believe that autotrading services should aim to incorporate advanced Risk Management technological features to ensure their users’ financial well-being and, at the same time, offer them in the most user friendly way possible.

About the Author: Leon Yohai
Leon Yohai was born in Athens, Greece in 1974, and began his entrepreneurial career when he founded fleamarket.gr, Greece's first and largest e-auction website in 1999. In 2001 he founded InternetQ SA, the company that introduced premium text messaging billing in Greece. Later, Leon came to the United States to launch Qmobile, a mobile entertainment startup that quickly gained 25% of market share in the first 3 months of its operation in the US. Leon has been trading futures for his own account, in equities and money markets since 2000, and recognized a need for a service for individual traders, who have busy schedules and cannot follow the rapidly changing markets, yet need total control of their funds – the rationale behind the company he founded, ZuluTrade.
