3 Import data from Zulu GIS. Users of the Source program who have a license for the task "Integration with GIS Zulu" have the opportunity to import initial (passport) data on heat sources, central heating, heating network sections and heat consumers from the GIS Zulu database into the database of the Source program. At the discretion of the user, the following data may be subject to import. Zulu GIS object Imported data* Heat source name of the source calculated temperature in the supply pipeline calculated temperature in the return pipeline of water in the supply pipe average annual temperature of the water in the return pipe CHP name of the CHP address of the CHP address of the connection schemes for the loads of the RH and DHW design outlet temperature of the 2nd circuit design temperature of the inlet of the 2nd circuit available head of the 2nd circuit pressure in the return of the 2nd circuit of water in the return pipeline presence of a temperature controller water temperature at the DHW available pressure 2 DHW circuits pressure in the return 2 DHW circuits Section length of the section diameter of the supply pipeline diameter of the return pipe type of laying of the heat network normative losses in the heat network correction factor for heat loss norms type of soil depth of the pipeline laying of the pipeline heat-insulating material of the supply pipeline heat-insulation material of the return pipeline insulation thickness of the supply pipeline thickness of the return pipeline insulation technical condition of the insulation of the supply pipeline technical condition of the insulation of the return pipeline pipelines channel height channel width

4 calculated load on heating calculated load on ventilation calculated average load on DHW calculated indoor air temperature for CO calculated indoor air temperature for SW calculated supply water temperature at the inlet to the consumer calculated water temperature at the outlet from CO temperature * The names of the fields of imported data are given in accordance with the terminology of the description of thermal-hydraulic calculations of GIS Zulu. The layer of the heat supply system (hereinafter STS) and the database Source must be preliminarily prepared for the data import procedure. The preparation of the CTS layer is as follows: 1. All typical objects of the CTS layer that allow shutdowns should be assigned a mode corresponding to the “in operation” state 2. The CTS layer must be subjected to thermal hydraulic calculation (verification or adjustment), as a result of which number (ID) of the heat source Database preparation Source is as follows 1. All boiler houses and all heat supply zones of boiler houses should be entered, and the number of heat supply zones of boiler houses in the Source database should be equal to the number of typical objects "Heat source" of the STS layer 2. You should create a connection to the Zulu GIS (see section “Connecting to Zulu GIS”) Changes made to the Source database during data import from Zulu GIS may be irreversible, so it is recommended to use a duplicate Source database as a data destination from Zulu GIS first (see section "Database Duplication Source").

5 Form Import data from GIS Zulu. To import data on objects of the heat supply system (STS) from GIS Zulu to the database of the Source program, left-click on the node Import data from GIS Zulu in the task tree Purpose of the form elements Import data from GIS Zulu. The hierarchical list (pos. 1) contains a list of boiler houses (pictogram), boiler house heat supply zones (pictogram), central heating substation (pictogram), and central heat supply zones (pictogram) available in the database of the Source program. Icons of Source DB objects associated with the corresponding Zulu GIS graphical objects are marked with a blue background. Selecting an object in the hierarchical list (pos. 1) is done by clicking on its icon or name, after which this object is considered current. The selection of the current object is accompanied by the following events in the information field (pos. 2) the name of the current object is displayed

6 if the current object is associated with the Zulu GIS graphic element, then it will be activated on the map, and the icon on the button next to the field (pos. 2) takes the form if the current object is not associated with the Zulu GIS graphic element, then the icon on the button next to the field (pos. 2) takes the form of a list (pos. 3) will be filled with a list of sections or subscriber inputs that receive heat from the current object, while if a section or subscriber input is associated with a graphic element of the STS layer, then it will be marked with the List icon (pos. 3) contains a list of sections or subscriber inputs available in the Source database and receiving heat from the current object selected in the hierarchical list (pos. 1). Clicking the left mouse button on the list header (pos. 3) rebuilds the list and displays the list of sections or subscriber inputs. Selecting an object in the list (pos. 3) is accompanied by the following events in the information field (pos. 4) the name of the selected object is displayed if the selected object is associated with a graphic element of the Zulu GIS, it will be activated on the map, and the icon on the button next to the field (pos. 4) will take the form if the selected object is not associated with the Zulu GIS graphical element, then the icon on the button next to the field (pos. 4) will take the form Buttons located to the right of the information fields (pos. 2 and 4) are intended for linking database objects Source with the corresponding graphical elements of the Zulu GIS heat supply layer. Button commands allow you to remove the connection between the Source DB object and the graphic element of the Zulu GIS layer, view and, if necessary, edit data on the current object in the Source DB, set options for generating a list of sites or subscriber inputs. The button command is executed by clicking on the element. The delete link command breaks the link between the current Source DB object and its graphic counterpart on the STS layer. The certification data command leads to the appearance on the screen of a form for presenting data available for the current object in the database. Source

7 The display of objects command leads to the appearance of a form on the screen that allows you to select options for generating a list of sections or subscriber inputs. In the right part of the form there is a Zulu ActiveX element (pos. 5), in the window of which a map of the heat supply system is displayed. Navigation on the map is provided using the control panel. The purpose of the buttons on the map navigator panel is described in the Zulu GIS documentation. The information fields below the map display the custom name of the STS layer and the path to the layer file, as well as the type name and unique index (ID) of the active graphic object on the map. Activation on the map of the graphic element of the STS layer associated with the Source database object leads to the display of its name in the corresponding information field (pos. 2 or 4).

8 The panel is designed to import data from the Zulu GIS to the Source database, view and save the imported data, and view the log of errors identified during the import process. The button in the pressed state is intended for viewing data on the active object of the STS layer. At the same time, the navigation bar on the map is supplemented with a button (it must be brought to the pressed state), and at the bottom of the map, elements are displayed for viewing records for the active object in the Zulu and Source databases. The figure shows an example of displaying data on the active section of the map. Switching the button to the unchecked position hides the elements of viewing records for the active map object and restores the previous size of the map window. The button performs the procedure for importing data from the Zulu GIS into the Source database. The button leads to the display at the bottom of the map of the protocol of errors detected during the import of data from the Zulu GIS to the Source database. Source button. saves the results of importing data from GIS Zulu in the database of the program The sequence of actions when importing data from GIS Zulu to the database heat supply corresponding to the selected heat supply zone of the boiler room view 4. Repeat step 1-3 until all heat supply zones of boiler houses are connected with the corresponding heat sources of the STS layer 5. Click on the button of the data import panel the object will be associated with the corresponding layer element and receive its source data. To save the results of importing data from the Zulu GIS to the Source database, click the button on the import panel (see options for saving import results below). Not all data on the objects of the heat supply system, which are necessary for correct execution, are transferred from the Zulu GIS to the DB Source

There are 9 calculation tasks in the Source program, so you will have to add the missing data in the certification forms of the Source program. Error control in the process of importing data from the Zulu GIS into the Source database. During the data import process, a log of detected errors is created. If the error detected during the data import process is critical, then the process is interrupted. The error log is automatically displayed at the end of the import process at the bottom of the map in the form of two elements shown in the figure. with a typical object of the CTS layer, the Error source column contains the name of the object that caused the error; the Error object column contains a pointer to the type and key of the object of the CTS layer; the error description column contains a brief description of the cause of the error. . If the error highlighted in the list (pos. 6) is associated with an element of the STS layer, then this object will be activated on the map. List of critical errors preventing data import from Zulu GIS. Description of the error Cause and remedy for the error Table entry by In the Zulu database table, an entry was found for an object that does not exist on the STS layer (perhaps the object was deleted when editing the layer element of the STS layer). In a Zulu GIS environment, database compression should be performed. The layer feature entry is not in the Zulu table. Missing features of type Source Zone is not associated with a Zulu feature More than one zone is associated with a Zulu feature A zone is associated with missing data (see the Zulu GIS documentation). There is no entry in the Zulu database table for this feature in the CTC layer. In the Zulu GIS environment, you should populate the database (see the Zulu GIS documentation). Not a single heat source object was found on the STS layer. You should edit the STS layer in the Zulu GIS environment, depicting heat sources on it. In the database Istochnik, heat supply zones of boiler houses were found that are not connected with heat sources of the STS layer. All heat supply zones of boiler houses should be associated with the corresponding heat sources of the STS layer (see Sequence of actions when importing data in this section). More than one heat supply zone of boiler houses in the Source database is associated with one heat source of the STS layer. Each heat source of the STS layer should be unambiguously associated with the heat supply zone of the boiler house (see Sequence of actions when importing data in this section).

10 Zulu object The object has no source Group heat source (the error is considered critical if the group heat source is not identified with the heating zone of the boiler house) The central heating unit is hydraulically connected to another central heating unit The number of nodes in the section after the central heating unit is not equal to 2 The heating zone and DHW of the central heating unit are hydraulically connected. There are no sites included in the TsTP. The element included in the CTP does not belong to the type Sections The number of sections included in the CTP is more than one. There are no sections leaving the CTP. Incorrect mode of the auxiliary section The element coming out of the CTP does not belong to the type of Sections or was deleted when editing the STS layer). You should either remove the heat supply zone from the Source database, or add a heat source to the STS layer. The Nist field of the CTS layer object is not filled with the value of the heat source key; perhaps, after the last editing of the CTS layer, its thermal-hydraulic calculation was not performed. It is necessary to perform thermal-hydraulic calculation of the CTS layer in the Zulu GIS environment. Objects receiving heat from a group source were found on the STS layer, while this group source was not identified with the heat supply zone of the boiler house. All detected group heat sources should be identified with the corresponding heat supply zones of boiler houses (see the description of the Identification of group sources command of this section). There is a hydraulic connection between quarterly networks from different CHPs. In the Zulu GIS environment, you need to identify and remove the sections that connect the block networks from different TSCs. The section leaving the CTP must end with an object (node). It is necessary to edit the STS layer in the Zulu GIS environment in such a way that all sections leaving the TSC end with typical objects of the STS layer. This error is typical for the situation when the CTP of the STS layer has two heat outlets (two zones of heat supply of the CTP): one outlet for heating and ventilation loads, and the second one for DHW loads. In this case, the situation is recognized as critical when the quarterly network from the heating outlet is hydraulically connected to the quarterly network from the DHW outlet of the given CHP. In the Zulu GIS environment, you should identify and remove the sections that connect the quarterly heating and hot water networks from this central heating point. The TsTP has no incoming sections. In the Zulu GIS environment, you should depict the area included in this CTP, or change the direction of water movement in areas adjacent to the CTP. The facility included in the TsTP is not a site. It is necessary to edit the STS layer in the Zulu GIS environment in such a way that the object included in the TSC becomes a site. On the STS layer, a CTP was found, in which the number of incoming sections is more than one. In the Zulu GIS environment, the redundant parcels included in the TSC should be removed. A CTP was found on the STS layer, which does not have a single outgoing section. In the Zulu GIS environment, edit the STS layer so that all PSCs have at least one outgoing section. The mode of the auxiliary section leaving the central heating substation must be set to For central substation. You need to change the mode of the auxiliary area. The elements leaving the central heating station can only be a section or an auxiliary section. You should edit the STS layer in the Zulu GIS environment so that the features

11 Auxiliary section Elements coming out of the CTP are of the same type The number of sections coming out of the CTP is more than two outgoing from the CTP would be a section or an auxiliary section. On the STS layer, a CTP was found, from which two elements of the same type emerge, for example, two sections or two auxiliary sections. According to the logic of thermal-hydraulic calculations of the Zulu GIS, if two elements come out of the CHP, then one of them must be of the Plot type, and the second must be of the Auxiliary Plot type. The STS layer in the Zulu GIS environment should be edited so that the features coming out of the TSC would be a site and an auxiliary site. A central heating zone was found on the STS layer, from which more than two sections emerge. You should edit the STS layer in the Zulu GIS environment so that no more than two sections come out of the TSC. In addition to critical errors that prevent the import of data from the Zulu GIS into the Source database, errors are detected that can interrupt the calculations performed in the Source program. Errors of this kind do not interrupt the import of data from the Zulu GIS, but are noted in the log. To hide the error log, click on the icon in the heading of the first column of the list (item 6). To display the error log, click the button on the data import panel. The objects of the CTS layer that caused the interruption of the import of data from the Zulu GIS are highlighted inversely on the map.

12 The button contains a list of commands that allow you to control the procedure for importing data from the Zulu DB into the Source DB. Command Identification of group sources. If several hydraulically connected heat sources work for the heat supply system (HTS), then as a result of the thermal-hydraulic calculation of the HTS layer, it may turn out that some objects (for example, consumers) receive heat from several sources. In the context of the task of importing data from the Zulu GIS, this kind of heat source is called a group heat source. The thermal-hydraulic calculation system of the Zulu GIS marks the presence of a group source using a conditional key consisting of the keys of the sources included in the group, separated by the symbol 0. For example, if as a result of the thermal-hydraulic calculation of the CTS layer it is established that the consumer receives heat from sources 1 and 2, then the value 102 will be written in the Source number (Nist) field of this consumer. The database of the Source program is not able to store information about group heat sources, therefore, each group source must correspond to a single heat source (heat supply zone of the boiler house). To set such a correspondence, the Identification of group sources command of the button is used, after which, the Identification of group sources form appears on the monitor screen. The left list of the Identification of group sources form shows all group sources found among the objects of the CTS layer. The list on the right shows the names of heating zones of boiler houses, with which a group source can be identified. To perform the identification of group sources, 1. Select a group heat source in the left list of the form. 2. In the right list, check off the heat supply zone of the boiler house, from which this group source will be identified. 3. Press the button Identify group source with the selected heat source. 4. Repeat steps 1-4 for all group sources. The group source identification is stored on the user's computer for later use in Zulu GIS data import procedures.

13 Command Set options for data import. The Set button data import options command allows the user to set additional parameters for the procedure for importing data from the Zulu GIS to the Source database. Execution of this command leads to the appearance on the screen of the form Setting options for importing data from GIS Zulu. The drop-down list of the form (item 8) contains a list of typical objects of the CTS layer, for which data is imported into the Source database. The list of fields (pos. 9) contains a list of fields available for importing data from the selected type object. The data of the fields marked with a tick in the list (pos. 9) are subject to import. If the user wants to change the volume of data import for any typical object of the CTS layer, then one should: 1. Select a typical object of the CTS layer in the drop-down list (item 8) 2. Tick those fields whose data will be subject to import 3. Clear the checkboxes those fields, data from which will not be subject to import 4. Repeat steps 1 3 for all typical objects of the STS layer. The Delete unrelated objects in the Source database checkbox has the following purpose: if the checkbox is checked, then the Source DB objects that are not related to their counterparts on the STS layer will be deleted when saving the results of importing data from Zulu GIS, if the checkbox is unchecked, then unrelated objects will remain in the Source database The checkbox Edit data for related objects in the Source database has the following purpose: if the checkbox is checked, then the data for the objects in the Source database associated with the objects of the STS layer will be re-edited; if the checkbox is cleared, then the data for the related objects will not be edited data import, click the Save data import settings button and close the form.

  iii. Live Account Types: Classic vs Profit Sharing

  By opening a Classic Account, you will be able to make transactions both manually and copy traders' signals. In order to start trading, you will need to connect your Broker trading platform (ZTP or MT4) with ZuluTrade. This type of account is recommended for Advanced users.

  In addition to creating a Traders Portfolio, you will need to modify the portfolio settings (simple or advanced). You will be able to manage your account, update your trading signals, close trades, block a Trader or your trades, and access advanced settings.

  On the other hand, Profit Sharing accounts are solely for copying signals through the ZuluTrade platform. This type of account is recommended for everyone, both beginners and advanced users, as you can start trading by choosing the Traders you like and setting the amount of capital protection. An easy and simple way to trade without any experience.

  By opening a Profit Sharing Account, you are equal to your Traders, namely: they are rewarded for the profits earned in your account while you trade with a discount commission. On the first calendar day of each month, your PnL received from open and closed positions will be calculated for each Trader whose signals you have subscribed to. Every time a Trader's trading results in your account are positive, you will pay a 20% Introduction Fee. This fee will only apply for amounts above the Threshold Profitability (HWM). HWM is the maximum profit earned by a Trader in your account, which is calculated on the first calendar day of each month from the moment the Trader is added to his Portfolio. In the event that your account has a negative Monthly Trader PnL and/or your account goes through a “recovery period” (profitable monthly PnL below the HWM level), no commission will be deducted from your account. So,

  Submission Fee will be debited from your account only

  • in case the profitable PnL for the past month exceeds the HWM.

  Submission Fee will not apply

  • in the event that PnL for the past month is below the HWM level – Loss Recovery Period
  • in case of negative PnL results for the past month

  You can view the Submission Fee in the History tab of your account.

  i. Linking Your ZuluTrade Account to a Broker Account

  If your Broker account is compatible with the Metatrader 4 (MT4) platform, you will be able to verify that your account is properly linked with a broker when you first log in to your ZuluTrade account.

  If your Broker account is not compatible with the Metatrader (MT4) platform, but with some other platform (eg Trading Station, AVA Trader, etc.), then your account will be connected to the broker automatically.

  For accounts compatible with MT4, you just need to go to the "Settings" section to make sure that the account is correctly connected to the brokerage account. Scroll down to the "Broker Account Settings" section and check the account connection status:

  If your account status is "Connected to Broker", then your brokerage account has been automatically successfully connected to your ZuluTrade account and you can start trading.

  If your Account Status is "Disconnected", you must complete the action to link your Broker's account to your ZuluTrade account. To do this, you must enter the Brokerage account login (numbers only), as well as the Password from your Brokerage account (MT4) and click on the "Connect to Brokerage Account" button. After a few seconds, the message "Congratulations! Your account has been linked to a Brokerage Account" will appear.

  Your Account Status must be "Connected to Broker".

  If for any reason you are unable to connect an account, please make sure that you are entering the correct MT4 Master Password. In case of repeated failure, contact the support department for assistance.

  Remember that the password to enter must be the MT4 Master Password and not the "Read-Only" (Investor) password. If you use an investor password (Read Only), you will not be able to receive signals even though you have successfully linked an account, as your account will be in read only mode.

  If you do not have a login or password from the Brokerage account (MT4), then you need to contact your broker, who will remind or resend them to you. Unfortunately, ZuluTrade does not have access to this information and therefore will not be able to provide it to you.

  Please note that if you change the Brokerage Account Password, the connection to ZuluTrade will be terminated, so you will need to reconnect the account using the new password.

  ii. Easy Mode Versus Advanced Mode

  Please note that the ZuluTrade site can operate in two modes: Simple and Advanced.

  The Simple Mode provides all the necessary information that a Beginner needs for autotrading.
  Advanced Mode offers additional settings that are designed for more experienced traders.

  iii. Setting up your portfolio

  By clicking on Installing my Portfolio A new Setup Wizard window will appear. Just follow each step of the Assistant according to your preferences, set up your Portfolio and start autotrading!

  What steps does the Assistant Program suggest to perform:

  • Step 1: Install a Risk Meter– the higher the percentage of risk, the greater part of your capital will be involved in trading, and accordingly your account will be exposed to more risk.
  • Step 2: Traders' Choice– select Traders who will auto-trade on your account. By simply clicking on the upper left corner of the profile picture of the Trader whose signals you want to receive, the portfolio will be set up automatically. You can later change the automatic settings on the "Settings" page of the Additional Mode of your account.

  Step 3: Set up protection for your account- turn on ZuluGuard™™ and protect your invested capital.

  4. TRADE tab

  Here you can manually place pending and market orders. The quotes in the table are provided by your broker and are also displayed on your broker platform. For each currency pair you will find a window with a Buy and a Sell price, and a spread between them in points.

  When the market is open, quotes will be permanently highlighted in red or green, depending on the trend of the market. You can move these pairs around by dragging them, delete them by clicking on the X icon, or select them by clicking on the yellow circle at the top. Please note that not all available currency pairs may be displayed in the table by default. You can add new pairs by clicking on the "Select Symbols" option. Please note that when you add symbols as above, all changes made to this table will be saved and displayed the next time you access this page. If you wish to view a list of all available currency pairs, select "Simple" view.

  If you wish to open an order manually, click on Buy or Sell on your chosen pair; a new window will appear. In this window you will see the current market price and the default Limit and Stop values ​​(500 pips). You can change the current market price by deselecting "Market". You can also change the default Stop and Limit values ​​and also apply a Trailing Stop. Please note that when choosing the Trailing Stop option, the Stop will start moving as soon as the trade is opened. For example, when buying EUR/USD, a trade with a Trailing Stop of -30 points is opened at a price of 1.383. The trade is opened with a Stop level of -30 pips (1.380) and if it starts generating at least one pip profit, the Trailing Stop will be updated accordingly. Therefore, as soon as the trade reaches a maximum of 5 pips (price 1.3805), the Stop value will be updated 30 pips in relation to the new price, at 1.3805 (-25 pips from the opening price of the order). After setting a Trailing Stop, its value is updated automatically, as described above, without the need to remain authorized in the account. Thus, you will place a pending order, the price of which will differ from the current market price. You are also given the right to change the value of the Stop or Limit. After you specify the values ​​you need, click on OK, and this order will appear in the "Positions" or "Orders" tab.

  Here you will find a link that will redirect you to the "Economic Calendar" page. The Economic Calendar is a dynamic tool that shows you the impact of important world events on specific currencies to help you make the right trading decisions. This calendar includes important events of the day, currency pairs and trends (up or down) that these events will affect. All events are displayed in the time zone of your computer, but you can change this time if you wish. You can also sort economic events by time period, influence or currency.

  By clicking on the Quote Charts you will be able to generate different types of charts for your currency pairs, set the time frame and also access various indicators. Please note that the generated charts display the quotes used by ZuluTrade for demo accounts and for Traders who trade directly through the ZuluTrade platform. While charts can be handy for market research, these quotes may differ from those of your broker. Of course, you will be able to see your broker's exact quotes either through the Trade tab in your ZuluTrade account or directly through your broker's platform.

  5. POSITION tab

  This section will display trades executed by Traders on your account. Here you can monitor both the current profit or loss of each trade, and the general status of your open orders.

  By default, your positions will be sorted by Trader, so you can see the total profit or loss of all positions of a particular Trader. However, you can also view your positions without sorting by selecting the "Details" option, or sort them by currency pair to keep track of the current PnL of a particular currency pair. To select this option, go to the "Summary" tab. This option can become handy when monitoring hedged positions.

  By default, the system will play Sounds to alert you when positions are opened or closed. You can disable this option by clicking on the corresponding "Sound: On/Off" button.

  For each trade that opens in the open positions tab, you will be able to modify certain settings. By clicking on the current value of the "Stop" of the transaction, a pop-up window will appear in front of you, where you can change the current value of the Stop. Please note that when performing this action, you will replace the previous Stop value set by the Trader or manually in the Trader's settings. Remember that the value you enter is the market price. In the same way, you can change the value of the "Limit" for the transaction. However, please note that once you update your Stop and Limit values, subsequent updates will normally be broadcast to your account, according to your settings.

  In the right corner of the transaction you will find the option "Close". By clicking on this button, a confirmation window will appear in front of you, where you will confirm or cancel your request to Close the transaction. Once confirmed, the trade will close and will no longer be displayed in the Positions section. Please note that there may be a slight delay of a few seconds between the closing of trades and their display in the Positions section; if you notice a delay, click on the "Update Now" button. You can also close all trades of each Trader by clicking on the "Close All" button on the right at the end of the line with the Trader's name.

  In addition to the ability to close a single trade or all trades of a certain Trader, you are entitled to close all current open positions with a single click on the "Close all Open Positions" button.

  This page also offers you the option to view your Traders' open positions so you don't have to look specifically for them on their public page. You can simply select the Trader's name from the "Show Trader's Current Positions" drop down menu. Transactions on a brown background are also open on your account; thus, you can easily compare open positions on your account and the Trader's page, check missed transactions, or positions that were closed on your account, but are open with the Trader, and vice versa.

  Trade Blocking

  This option allows you to take full control of a Trader's open position in your account. By clicking on the corresponding "open lock" icon, the transaction will be blocked. This means that no further signals to update (Stop / Limit / Close, etc.) of the transaction will be broadcast to your account. This trade can now be closed with a Stop/Limit order or manually. Once the deal is locked, the icon will change to a closed padlock

  You can unlock a locked trade at any time.

  Transaction Information

  If you click on the Open Date of any open order, a new window will appear with additional information on the current trade, including all updates, high price, worst drawdown, chart, etc. Here you will also find Provider and Broker Tickets, which you must have with you every time you contact Company Support with a question about a particular transaction.

  6. HISTORY tab

  Here you will find the trading history of all trades that have been opened and closed on your account. By default, the system will display data for the last month. However, you will be able to choose a different period of time: from the day of activation of your account to the present moment.

  In addition, your attention is invited to a chart that displays your profit in the base currency, points or for the last month.

  Each published transaction contains complete information about itself, namely: the name of the Trader who opened this position, the type of transaction (BUY or SELL), currency pair, size and number of lots, opening and closing date, opening and closing price, maximum and minimum price ( maximum peak and fall of the transaction before its closing), Profit, Total accumulated profit. Trades are sorted by Closing Date, however, you can click on the title of any column to rearrange them according to your preference.

  To the left of each trade you will find a plus sign (+). When hovering over, a new window will appear with information about the trade: Provider and Broker Tickets (you must have these tickets with you every time you contact ZuluTrade for a particular trade), Net and Gross Income, Swap and Commission. In addition, when you click on this icon, a new window will appear with a chart of the maximum and minimum prices reached by the transaction. In this window, you will also be able to see if a position was opened at the market price or a pending order was placed, etc.

  You are also offered the option to download the entire account history to an Excel file. To do this, click on "Export to Excel".

  Notifications

  By going to this section, you will be able to view the "Trading history log file", where all system messages and notifications for the last 30 days are stored. For example, if you notice that a Trader opened a new position and that position did not appear in your account, go to this section and check if there is an error message explaining why the order did not open in your account.

  8. SETTINGS tab

  The Settings tab is only visible when the platform mode is set to Advanced

  EU residents

  Certain aspects of ZuluTrade's services are different for clients trading under EU law (EU residents or account holders of Brokers cooperating with EU ZuluTrade). Click to view detailed information.

  i. Your bag

  When you first access your Account Settings section, you will find two Lot Allocation Modes: Automatic and Custom.

  Lot Allocation Mode: AUTO

  In this mode, you are offered a Risk Indicator, with which you can set the amount of risk you are willing to expose your account to.

  This method uses historical data (annual drawdown, profit) and your account balance to calculate the number of lots that should be set for each trader. This method is based on the execution of all trades of the trader without taking into account user settings. However, if you would like the system to set more lots for a particular trader than other traders, then you can increase the Risk Weight for that trader. Click for more details.

  In AUTO Mode, you can only set the Maximum Open Trades and the Risk Weight for each trader. The system will automatically set the number of lots for each trade. You will follow the trader by getting his Limit and Stop values.

  – Lot Allocation Mode: CUSTOM

  In User Mode, you will be able to manually configure almost all the parameters related to the transactions that you will receive from Traders. You will be able to apply the following settings for USER Mode yourself:

  The number of lots for each trade that will be opened by a certain Trader. Regardless of the lot size that the Trader opens, his trades on your account will be opened by the lot size you choose.

  In the column heading, lots will be listed as (Standard), (Mini) or (Micro) depending on the Lot Size you have selected in the Lot Size settings. Since this parameter refers to the number of lots for each trade, you should also take into account the Max Open Lots settings to ensure that all orders are completely filled by an individual trader and by all selected traders in your account.

  For example: Suppose you have selected two traders in your portfolio: Trader A and Trader B. If the Lots field is set to 1 lot for trader A and 2 lots for trader B, then the volume of each trade opened by trader A is equal to 1, and the volume of each transactions for Trader B - 2. (regardless of the volume traded by these Traders).

  iii. Add Trader

  Clicking will take you to our Traders page; Here you will find a wide selection of Traders. You can choose any trader at any time to automatically manage your account; there are no restrictions on the number of selected traders from our side - it all depends on the capabilities of your account. Please find the Trader(s) you wish to add to your portfolio and click on the Trader(s) profile picture. Once you have selected the Trader you wish to add to your Portfolio, you will need to specify the number of lots per trade that this provider will be able to open on your account. You will also be able to apply the ZuluGuard™ feature to that Trader. And of course you can change your account settings at any time.

  You can also include in your account some or all of the open positions that a trader currently has.

  iv. Save Trader Settings

  With this button you will be able to save any changes you can make to the Traders Portfolio. As soon as you click on this button, a message will appear indicating that "Your Trader settings have been successfully saved".

  Make sure you click this button after changing the Settings, otherwise the changes will not be applied when you switch to another page.

  v. Enable/Disable Trader(s)

  To the left of each Trader you will find a checkbox: if you want to Enable/Disable a Trader in your Portfolio, you must first select a Trader and then click on the "Enable/Disable" button. If the Provider was enabled, then when you click on this button, it will be disabled, after which the Trader will be highlighted in red. And vice versa, if the trader was disabled, then when you click on the button, the trader will be enabled, and the red highlight will be removed. At any time, you can re-enable a disabled Trader, and vice versa.

  Once you have disabled a Trader, he will not be able to open new positions on your account. However, any remaining open market or pending orders placed by the Trader will remain intact. You will still receive a Close Signal if the Trader sends one for one of the existing Open Positions/Orders, as well as a Stop/Limit Update signal to protect your account from possible losses. And, of course, you can close open positions manually whenever you wish.

  vi. Delete Trader

  To the left of each Trader you will find a checkbox - if you wish to Remove a Trader from your Portfolio, you must first click on this box to select a Trader and then on the "Remove" button. Your selected Trader will be removed from your Portfolio. Of course, you can add this Trader back to your Portfolio at any time.

  After you have deleted a Trader, he will not be able to open new positions on your account. However, any remaining open market or pending orders placed by the Trader will remain intact. You will still be able to receive Close Signals sent by the trader for these open positions/orders as a measure to protect orders. However, you will not receive Stop/Limit updates for these Positions/Orders. But you can close open positions manually whenever you wish.

  vii. User Lists

  With UserLists you will be able to keep track of the ever-expanding Traders page and find the right Traders for you. You can sort and group Traders according to your preferences based on profit, potential, overall results, as well as share your lists with other Users, view all public lists, receive information that will help you build your Trader Portfolio.

  viii. Reset Changes

  With this button you can undo the last changes made in the Trader's Portfolio and return to your last saved settings.

  ix. Simulate

  This powerful tool allows you to test Trader Results with different settings than your current account settings. Basically, this function calculates the potential profit that you could receive in your account from the trades of a certain trader, executed using various parameters.

  To begin with, you need to select the parameters under which your account would start trading: initial capital, leverage, base currency. By default, the system will select the current balance, leverage and base currency of your account, which you can change. You can also select the time period (3m, 6m, 1y, 2y) for which you want to apply the simulation to generate results. The system will automatically set the Max. Open Lots, however, you can change this indicator to "No Limit". After you set all the parameters, click on the "Start Simulation" button, and the system will generate detailed results: Final balance, Number of trades received, Number of trades closed by Stoploss, Profit (ROI), Number of trades opened/closed, Number of trades closed by Limit (Take Profit), as well as the chart. You will also be able to view all results as well as the chart for each individual Trader.

  This tool also allows you to simulate the performance of your current traders using different settings for each of them, or select individual traders that are in your portfolio, or simulate the performance of traders that are different from the traders in your Portfolio. This will allow you to safely and without any risk experiment with different traders and settings until you decide for yourself which Trader Portfolio to create.

  Please note that neither changing your settings nor adding new providers to your simulation portfolio will in any way affect your portfolio of ZuluTrade account traders.

  x. Automator

  Automator as your personal assistant: it will monitor your account and notify you of its trading activity or automatically perform certain actions for you.

  Thus, using the logic "If I could do 'this' when 'that' happens", you can create and execute your own automated rules.

  Here are some typical examples:

  • If Trader X's PnL is less than $1,000, then email me a notice and block all trades.
  • If the realized PnL of my account is more than $1,000, then close all profitable trades
  • If the number of open positions of any Trader exceeds 50, then stop receiving signals to open new transactions from Traders.

  The possibilities are unlimited. You can create rules to suit your personal trading needs.

  9. ACCOUNT SETTINGS

  i. Receiving Trades (Disable/Enable Account)

  When your account is enabled and receiving signals, you will see the notification "Your account is enabled and receiving all signals".

  Clicking this button will disable your account and no further Trader signals will be received. In this case, you will see the notification "Your account is not receiving signals to update; however, signals to close will be received." You can enable your account at any time by clicking on the same button.

  Please be aware that when you disable an account, any remaining open market or pending orders placed by a Trader will remain intact. You will still be able to receive Close Signals sent by the trader for these open positions/orders as a measure to protect orders. However, you will not receive Stop/Limit updates for these Positions/Orders. And, of course, you can close open positions manually whenever you wish.

  ii. Maximum open lots

  This option refers to the total number of lots that can be opened in your account by your traders, including pending orders, at any given time. In the proposed field, you can specify a value from 1 to 99 for standard accounts (and, accordingly, for mini and micro lots).

  Please note that this option is account-wide and therefore overrides the number of "Max. Open Lots" for each Trader. If you wish to receive all the signals listed for all traders, then you can set the total "Max Lots" to "No Limit".

  Let's consider an example: Let's imagine that in your Portfolio there are 2 Traders, Trader A and Trader B. For each Trader, you set the lot in the lot settings to 1, in the "Max. Open Trades" fields you selected "No Limit", and in the Max. Open Lots for each of them is also "No Limit". Theoretically, with these settings, you will have to receive all the signals that will be sent by your Traders, and the size of each transaction will be equal to 1 lot. Now let's imagine that you have indicated 5 in the column "Max. Open Lots". Provider A opened 2 positions and placed 1 pending order, so 3 lots were used in total. Provider B has opened 2 trades, which together with the first trader is 5 lots, which corresponds to a total "Max. Open. Lots" of 5. As a result, new market or pending orders will not be able to be placed on your account, and new trades will not be executed on your account until one of the open or pending orders closes. Likewise, you will also not be able to open orders manually due to the limits in "Max. Open Lots". In this case, you will receive the following error message, which is available in the Trade History Log File: Did not open 1.0 more std lot(s) for provider X, BUY EUR/USD. Max lots setting was 5.0, total open lots of trades & orders were 5.0

  iii. Lot Size

  Here you can specify how you want to see the lot size when you log in to your ZuluTrade account. Thus, if you have chosen a standard image, then the Standard Lot will be represented as 1, Mini Lot - 0.1, Micro Lot - 0.01. If you select Thumbnail 1, the Standard Lot will be represented as 1 mini lots, the Mini Lot as 1, and the Micro Lot as 0.1. And finally, if you specified a Micro image, then the Standard lot will be represented as 100, Mini - 10, and Micro - 1. To better understand this setting, it is important to remember the relationship between lot sizes:

  1 standard lot = 10 mini lot = 100 micro lot

  0.01 standard lot = 0.1 mini lot = 1 micro lot

  Note that this setting only affects the display of data. Thus, if your account type set by the broker is mini, then changing the image to Micro will not allow you to trade Micro Lots. It just means that when trading 1 Mini Lot, you will need to enter 10 (Micro Lots) in the corresponding field. If you want to change the lot size for your account, then you need to contact your broker.

  iv. Monitor My Account

  This service provides an additional level of protection for your account: it protects your funds by closing orders that should have been closed, but, due to rejection or failure to deliver one or more trading signals to your Broker, remained in the market unchanged. By agreeing to this additional measure of protection, you will allow ZuluTrade to close any such trades, as soon as they are discovered, at the lowest possible loss, or at any profit where possible.

  Successful intervention by ZuluTrade in every such case is not possible due to factors beyond the control of ZuluTrade. However, ZuluTrade, although under no obligation to deal with such cases, and cannot be held responsible for them in every single situation, has added this feature in an effort to continuously improve the user experience and the quality of trading.

  You can see all possible cases and examples.

  v. Avoid Hedging

  This option is available only for those accounts where ticket-based trading is not supported by the Broker. This option is selected by default. It is recommended to use this option for these types of accounts. If you wish to allow hedging of trades in your account, please make sure you have read all the details related to this option.

  10. ORDERS tab

  The Orders section is only available in the advanced mode of the ZuluTrade platform.

  Under this tab, you will find all pending orders placed manually by you or your Traders. These are the trades for which you set a value that is different from the current market value of the given pair. Thus, they will not open in your account until they reach the set price. Here you can make the same changes as in the "Positions" tab: update the "stop" value, "limit" value, as well as delete the order before it enters the market. You can also specify a new "open price" value at which the order will enter the market. As soon as the order enters the market, i.e. is executed, it will automatically move from the Orders section to the Positions section. Don't forget to click on the "Update Now" button in case you notice a delay in displaying orders.

  In this section, all the same functions are available as in the Positions tab.

  11. INCOME tab

  This tab appears immediately after the referral successfully registers a new account in ZuluTrade.

  In this section you will be able to manage your commission earned from live accounts registered with ZuluTrade through your referral/affiliate link. Please see our Affiliate Program Guide for more information.
