Risk Management with ZuluGuard and Micro Lot
ZuluTrade offers “ZuluGuard”, which is a feature which first monitors each Trader’s behavior and automatically removes a Trader when detecting a trading strategy has deviated from its expected loss profile.
And second, it creates a protection shield for your investment capital based on your own settings when you follow a Trader or a Combo.
As another risk management tool, you also have the option to trade Micro, Mini and Standard lots.
You can change this on the ZuluTrade platform under “Account” → “Settings”.
You can also adjust the settings to limit the total number of lots (mini) that can be open and/or pending at any one time in your ZuluTrade Account.
