Really look into it before giving your money. I don't think anyone makes money following those traders. Those percentage gains are deceiving. The most well known site for that is zulutrades.com. Many of those guys have 30 trades open at once. They only want the commission they get for every trade they open and close.

GM guys...sdc..that trade signal thingy might be good..but so far I havent found one with a trade record that I see as impressive..big gains dont impress me when they have almost equally big losses as well...the percentages I have seen are not good on most I have looked at.If I ever find one that comes close to matching my own record I will probably sign up to mirror the trades.So far none have come remotely close to that.Please dont take that as a brag..dont intend it that way.Quite some time back I entered an fxbook contest and tho I certainly didnt win I had a chance to see my own statistics..I had 92% wins on all longs and 81% wins on all shorts.I traded about like I normally trade and that held me back..shoulda been a lot more aggressive..also I lost a full week of the 4 week contest trying to get results to update...by the time they straightened it out for me I lost 25% of the contest period where I made no trades since I felt I was wasting my time if results werent going to be logged.
Heres a screenshot of my final results from the contest...If I see a signal provider that can match this then it might tweak my interest(LOL)..I was quite pleased to have the results in a staistical format so I could see how I trade staistically...not just P&L
