No, it's usually pretty tell tale, unless they are using multiple strategies that include martingale etc. It may be more difficult to figure out what's going on then (via only the graph), but usually this isn't the case. This is where communication comes in though, and knowing shouldn't be a problem. Look at some of these guys and observe how they describe what they're doing

Hi, my advice is to put small amounts on PAMM accounts where you can track their record and see what performance they really had instead of viewing nice performance charts or false claims.

Good luck.

Hi all! Just a little update here for those who are curious.

After having investigated the several possibilities and managed account service providers, and having read some relevant posts I plan to start an investment with Perfecto FX.

The blogger (his blog I linked above) shares his experiences and reviews the different services in a very objective way and his posts suggested me to contact Perfecto FX. I have been changing e-mails with them for a week now, they have been very helpful and proved to be very professional. Not only do I plan to start an investment with them but I'm also thinking about joining their Partnership Program as well. They offer some serious commissions!!!

The requirements I took into consideration: protected capital, see-through operation, overall control over the investment and professional services like their website and their customer service.

Hey, I am starting to be very enthusiastic now, haha :D

Cheers, Chris

Hi CBrider,
when I was younger I have ridden a few Kawasakis, yaaa, was a cool time man.
Ok, trading a couple of years now I found out for me that there is NO Holy Grail, all depends on market action and the various systems only depend normally to an single behaviour, so you have Greens and Reds all the time.
So what I did is to reduce the risk by my pyramid. Starting with small balance and High Risk will be followed by 3 more accounts reducing the risk. Because I trade Grid + Martiangale this is essential for ongoin gain. If the riskiest account will blow up the following one or ones should be still alive so re-funding the High Risk account is no problem...l

With proper money management, the good fund manager cannot guarantee you any monthly gain but usually 5% to 10% is something that can be achieved.

Hi! I so much agree on that. Thankfully I am old enough not to be blinded by huge % profits now. Yesterday I posted my contracts and such to Dukascopy, I opened a Perfecto Premium account, the one with 50% capital protection.

Please if you have any experiences with this company share them, I still have got a week or so until the fund deposit!!

My expectations from a fund manager? Reliability, transparency, clear and quick answers if I have questions, reliable profit on the long run, no fees if they make losses. Did I forget anything? :D
