i really like the explorer function here on forexfactory but there is little information on the trades section. you only see the top 10 on live accounts and only yearly data , not monthly. i wish i could see more then the first 10. in the first 10 you can obviously see that there are some people with a lucky trade curve or some with high leverage and luck. i would like to see all traders that have a good equity curve and also with a good money management even though they don't have huge returns per month. those are the guys from wich you can learn. i wish i could see the traders on demo accounts why not. a good steady curve with good money management proves that there is a good chance for succes on live accounts.
a way in which i use the explorer is to find a good trader and follow him in time. there was a trader for example with good money management and a very good equity curve in top 10 which lost 75% of his winnings in several trades on only one position which he did not manage. for me it's a interesting way to study from the mistakes other make. i'm still going to follow that trader because i want to see if he learns from his mistakes.
if you guys share my views or have different ones regarding the explorer you can write them here and maybe forexfactory will take notice.
i forgot to mention another thing of why the explorer is great. studying equity curves and seeing which are the best from the point of view of the investor. you can see luck on equity curves and you can also see an edge in action.
