Yeah, I think EA's without human intervention will at some point fail. I am a fan of manual trading and believe that the best manual trader is better than the best EA.

I think many zulu providers tend to do exactly that , manual intervention on their EA's

And ironically, this is what may be hurting a lot of their performances. I think you have to be an absolute genius when it comes to trading Forex, and most people don't reach that level.

What are the ingredients which make a great trader, I think that's what we should be trying to identify, and then trying to identify those ingredients in the Zulutrade providers.

But the question is, what makes a great trader.

I'm looking for a trader who is not afraid to close his trades in a loss , in forex you cant always win and everybody knows that , traders that are looking to win everytime no matter how much the price will go against them are bound to destroy accounts.

I doubt you can find a trader or system like this. Imho, concentrate on who has the least number of negative closed trades for the past 10 days training.
