Fixed Lots : Each time a signal is sent to your account, a fixed trade of 10k or 40k or whatever you select is sent to your account.

Fixed Ratio : As you system produces a profit of x amount (Delta amount), then the trade size will increase by ratio base

Fixed Fractional : This figures the trade size by risking a specified portion of your account. You determine the % of your account risked. Also, you need to find out the distance of stop used by the signal provider.

It is common for some signal providers not to send a trade for a couple of days. Especially when you just add them to your portfolio. That is because they may have open trades you missed on. So it may take a few days for the trades to cycle through.

Also, remember that a system that places more trades also means you will have more in commission costs. Unless the signal provider is knocking it out of the park, the commissions could eat you up on an actively traded system.

I think that letting the account balance be the judge at the end of the month of a good system. An active aggressive system can provide the thrills, but if you are undercapitalized in your account for the system, you will also receive the chills.

*Past performance posted by Signal and Systems Providers (“Providers”), is not necessarily indicative of future results. No representation is made that any account is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program. The composite monthly results are primarily hypothetical results of the master demo and its representation of the Providers, though performance results displayed may represent a combination of live and hypothetical results and are not exclusive to either. There are numerous other factors related to markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results. In the event that specific trades were simultaneously executed in hypothetical and live, real-time trading, the lesser of the two results will be displayed. There is no guarantee that one applying these methodologies would have the same results as the hypothetically posted. Since trading successfully depends on many elements including but not limited to a trading methodology and a trader's own psychology, the web site does not make any representation whatsoever that the above mentioned trading systems might be or are suitable or that they would be profitable for you. Please realize the risk with any investment and consult investment professionals before proceeding. The trading systems herein described have been developed for sophisticated traders who fully understand the nature and the scope of the risks that are associated with trading. Should you decide to trade any or all of these systems' signals, it is your decision.
