Trader’s card: choose the best ones

Nowadays people know quite well, where they can find information about those, who are interesting for them. We mean, of course, social networks. Each of you is sure to have one or several profiles in social networks, isn't he? In CopyFX system, each Trader and Investor also have their "profiles", their cards. Today, we'd like to tell you about the information you can get by looking closer at the card of CopyFX Trader, and how you can use this information to increase your profit.

Study the informational component

The Trader's card consists of two parts: general informational part, which includes some basic information about the Trader, and more detailed information, such as different statistics. The first part tells you about the following indicators:

1. The overall rating and unique name.
2. The account number and type, as well as the type of Trader's commission. Percentage icon indicates "Trader on Profit", dollar icon – "Trader on Commission".
3. The number of days since the registration. The longer the Trader trades, the better his statistics and stability can be analyzed and evaluated.
4. The Trader's risk. The level of risk is determined automatically on the basis of the Trader's Profitability.
5. The account balance.
6. The account leverage. Remember, that the difference in leverage of Trader's and Investor's accounts can result in increase of risks when copying transactions.
7. The number of subscribers to the account throughout its existence.
8. The number of active subscribers. This number shows how many Investors are subscribed to the Trader's current offer.
9. The profitability for all time.
10. The maximum drawdown for all time. Pay attention to this number – the higher the drawdown, the higher the risk that the Trader can hit his number again.

Deeper into statistics

The second part of the Trader's card contains several tabs. We're going to study the information in them more carefully.

Trader's profile

"Trader's profile" tab shows statistics for the Trader's transactions.

1. The number and percentage of profitable transactions.
2. The efficiency for open transactions in pips. This figure helps you to see if the Trader's is "in the black" or not.
3. The average time of transactions.
4. The efficiency in pips for the best, worst, and average transactions.
5. The profitability chart for all time.

Can you make a decision to subscribe to the Trader's offer relying only on this data? You bet you can. Technically, to define how stable the Trader is, all you have to do is to look at his profitability chart over the last time. One should also pay attention to the maximum drawdown. The bigger this number, the higher the risk to subscribe to this Trader is.

Trading history

If you think that the information presented in "Trader's profile" tab is not enough for making a decision to subscribe, let's move on. What else can help you to find out whether the Trader is successful or not? Surely, it's his detailed trading history.

"Trading history" tab shows you the table with detailed information about all operations performed by the Trader, including his account balance operations. You can track which transactions and instruments were the most and least profitable for the Trader, how often the Trader opens orders, etc. In other words, trading history is open and detailed statistics of the Trader's profitability, which helps you to estimate his success.

Charts

There are several charts in the Trader's card in the corresponding tab, which can help you to view the Trader's statistics in a more visual way. Each chart can be customized by means of the date filter. Would you like to view how the Trader's profit has changed, for example, over the last week? Or the ratio between the minimum and the maximum account equity and balance over the whole period of the Trader's activity? Or maybe you want to know how the value of the Maximum drawdown has changed over the period of the Trader's active offer?

All of these can be done with the help of the following charts:

As an addition to the line charts, there is a circle diagram for the traded currency pairs. Take a closer look, you might be attracted by the Trader who trades different currencies, or vice versa, the Trader who trades only one pair, but the most stable one.
