What is the risk of ZuluTrade’s Copy Trading?

The strategy with a minimum investment of USD 2,000 has a return on investment of 10%, and the risk appetite is “normal”.

If investors want to increase returns and expect that the most demanding moment (floating loss) of the strategy is unlikely to occur during this period, they can increase their risk tolerance.

This will increase the copy setting multiple and return rate.

However, this also increases the risk of using this strategy when funds are insufficient, so the expected rate of return may not be achieved.

On the contrary, if investors tend to be more conservative, this means that the set multiplier will be lowered in order to use part of the funds as a “buffer” to maintain the strategy’s larger losses than in history.

The risk level represents the probability that you will not be able to achieve a trading strategy because you deviate from the recommended risk-reward ratio (defined by investment capital and risk appetite).

The strategy requires an investment of at least $1,000 to obtain a 10% return on investment within the last 3 months.

The user chooses a risk appetite for a “normal” investment of US$500.
This means that the risk-reward ratio is set to $1000 / $500 = 200%=2. (Level 2).

In fact, this means that it is very likely that you will not be able to implement a trading strategy with your chosen investment capital and risk appetite.
