Financial trading polls

We need your vote!
Written by GF Team on October 15, 2010 – 12:00 pm -

Hello guys! This time we want to have a very serious talk with you. Everybody knows, that the situation on the Forex market is constantly changing and the trend is changing its direction as well. Sometimes it happens to be pretty unpredictable. And it is quite logical, that nobody is prevented from losses in such conditions. You know, the signals providers are trying to do their best in order to open only profitable positions, but sometimes even professionals lose. At this rate there are trading systems, that sometimes can break the rules of the strategy, which are stated in their profile. So, there is very important question to discuss with you here. What should be done with the systems, which have broken the drawdown claimed in their profiles?

Everything is simple if there are no people subscribed to the signals of such provider. But if there are people, who have paid money for getting the alerts of the system, which has broken the rules? Then there are several ways out.

WAY 1. The first is just to stop this system and make a refund for the subscription to all subscribers. This is quite a radical way out. But there are also more democratic ones.

WAY 2. For example the system can be left active and the subscribers can get free signals form it until the system covers the drawdown made. Such way seems to be quite just and logical.

WAY 3. At the same time the situation can be left just “as is” without any changes – no strategy closing, no refunds, no free signals – people just continue to get the signals by the system all right.

WAY 4. Finally, we can just ask all of the subscribers to the system, which has broken the drawdown, whether they want to get a refund or continue getting the signals. In this case every subscriber decides on his own, will he continue getting the signals by this trader or not.

So, you see the poll below, in which you are to vote for one of the ways described above. The method which wins in the poll will be implemented on our service. This means that now you guys are to decide, what will be the treatment for signals providers, who break the rules of their systems. If you have other interesting solutions or are eager to tell us your point of view, you are welcome to speak up in the comments.


And we also will be very glad to hear the thoughts of Forex signals providers on that point. What ways can professional traders to offer in this situation? So, we are waiting for your sensible and thoughtful comments.

An ideal trading system: step 6
Written by GF Team on August 18, 2010 – 8:05 am -

Now we are glad to announce you another step of our ideal trading system campaign, which is going on at the moment. We want to thank everybody participating in this action, leaving votes and comments. We appreciate that very much. It is really wonderful, that we can communicate with you, because your every opinion is important to us. We hope that it will help us in making the Forex service better.

So, last week we were asking you about the account amount of Forex signals provider acceptable for you. And the overwhelming majority (45.5%) of folks thinks that the ideal trading system should require from $1,000 to $3,000 for following its signals. At the same time 18.2% of people want to find a system with minimum amount of $500 – $1,000. And only 9.1% of folks are ready to invest more than $5,000 and $10,000.

This week’s step will be dedicated to really important question: what monthly account growth you are expecting to get from following the signals of a Forex trading system? It is quite obvious, that this number isn’t usually very big, because systems claiming to bring 100% account growth in a month seem to be pure scam, which will crush your account down in a second. So, be kind to leave your vote and feedback here.

An ideal trading system: step 5
Written by GF Team on August 11, 2010 – 7:20 am -

Another step of looking for an ideal trading system is over and we are glad to announce the results. Our last question for the folks was connected with the period, which a Forex alerts provider should bring profit for. Frankly speaking, we were somehow excited by the results of the poll. According to them, a system should bring profit monthly or even weekly (the majority of users think so). At the same time some people are looking not for a momentum gain, but for long-term investment and want to find a system with good quarterly profit, which is quite wise.

So, this week’s part of the campaign is dedicated to finding out the minimum account amount, required to follow the Forex signals of the ideal trading system. The amount of money, which people are ready to invest in using the signals is very important, because it is almost the main part of the strategy and the possible profit depends on it. Remember, your answers and comments are very important to us, and you can help us in improving the service just by leaving your vote in the poll and writing good comment.

An ideal trading system: step 4
Written by GF Team on August 4, 2010 – 7:55 am -

And now it is high time to announce the results of the third step of our exciting action! At the moment a lot of people are participating in finding out the parameters for an ideal trading system and we are very thankful to them. Really, it’s very important for us to know, what you guys think and what you would like to see on the Forex signal service. This helps us in improving our performance and getting better understanding of your requests to alerts providers.

But let’s get back to the results of our polling. Last week we asked folks about the time a trading system should perform on the service for people to get sure in its results and subscribe to its Forex signals. And we found out, that the majority of our clients will subscribe the signals of a system, if it has been performing successfully for at least a half of a year. At the same time 23% of folks need even more than 1 year to get sure in a system’s statistics. So, it’s quite obvious, that an alerts provider should show good results for pretty long period in order to attract the subscribers to his Forex signal service.

At the same time we are introducing the fourth step of the action now. This time you are to tell, what period should a trading system bring profit for. There are no trading systems, that will be 100% profitable, but a signals provider should bring a profit for the certain period of time. So, which period is most important for you?
