Collective2 or Rent-A-Signal?

  • #1

I'm planning on selling my forex signals through a signal selling service. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with Rent-a-signal or Collective2?

I signed up to both sites and put in a few test trades with C2 (on friday) however I tried to do the same today and it's telling me I have to pay a listing fee. (no thanks)

So that leaves rent-a-signal. Don't know how easy their EA is to set up (it looks a bit complicated). I'm sure I can figure it out.

So anyway are there any people making good money selling signals to these sites? I'd create my own EA and sell it but I'd rather skip the marketing and promotion and website-making and just concentrate on providing quality signals

I had an experience with rent-a-signal the other day. I saw them spamming their signal service in the Journal forum and I suspended them for it. Spamming signal services isn't even allowed in the Evaluation bin, much less the non-commercial side.

nope

As long as its pretty easy to send signals to their service and they don't try and make me pay a listing fee I'd be interested.

Follow the directions on the site. This how you make money on Zulutrade:


Anyone can become a ZuluTrade Affiliate instantly by filling out the online form below. Once you become an Affiliate , you will be issued a url, for example: yourname.zulutrade.com, through which you can then advertise and bring clients to ZuluTrade.
You will be paid a fee based on the page views of each individual customer!


I don't think ZT is simply going to cut you a check for your signals. You have to market yourself and pull people into their site. If your signals outshine all the other providers you'll build a following that way. If you can out perform the top few people on ZT, then you'd be better off just keeping your signals to yourself and trading them. Or sell your EA or whatever to the highest bidder. The only fly in the ointment is that you'll have to prove it's exceptional. Cloggie has made a few posts outlining what would be truly exceptional and marketable.

Well somebody had too. If he cant even figure out how to sell his own signals on a site designed to sell signals, there really is no hope. Christ, Id hate to see what an actual signal is...

Thanks everyone. You're all real winners here.

Anyway I signed up with ZuluTrade and I searched the site and it seems like you have to manually enter the trades, there's no API for hooking up an expert advisor and letting it send signals to the platform.

I tried to get help via their LivePerson chat, They took about 10 mins to respond and then I asked them about sending signals via an EA and there was no reply (that was about an hour ago)

The ZuluTrade site has a very strictly goverrned feel to it. I might just go along with Rent A Signal for now.

Hi, I can help you out! Its not difficult to become a signal provider in zulu and sell your signals.
Simply open a signal provider account and then connect a live or demo account with MT4 from one of the brokers they support. There are instructions on how to do it. Then use your MT4 to send your signals, im sure if you are good enough you will start having live followers! Good luck!

This is a great thread.

I'm looking for information about rentasingal. And I find this thread "Collective2 or Rent-A-Signal?"... and everybody is talking about zulu...

Anyone can give some information about rentasignal???? (No zulu...)

Thank you ;-)

Collective2 is good but it has remained obsolete.

Now, Undoubtedly rentasignal.com is the best signal marketplace.

Prior to deciding which platform to follow, I tried also opening an account with Rent a Signal. What I did not like much is that there is monthly fee, that can go way above your predictions, and also the lack of demo for somebody to test the system. Moreover, personally I was repelled by the word hypothetical - it is all over the site...well not the best to see when you go to put your money into it. Once I switched to Zulu -things were totally different. I believe it is a personal choice what service provider one would like to sign up..but to it is better to choose the more transparent one.

I have opened a demo with Collective 4 and what struck me was that not all the providers were available to be used in the free trial. Moreover, those who were, you could check their performance only for a limited time of up to 7days. What also made an appalling impression was that results were hypothetical, not real life, which means of course that whoever profitable you follow might be losing big time. Other that that the educational guru was pretty nice and interactive

collective2 is more close to zulutrade, as well as tradency.
I have read that tradency has serious issues with their platform and how they send their signals, but i do NOT have a personal experience.
The fact that rent a signals doesnt have even a demo, makes me stay away from them...

I tested RAS, ZuluTrade and ZipSignals as a signal provider about a year ago. Even though I only used them a short period Zulutrader were by far the most successful for me and had they had good support.

To reach good results, be sure to study the performance and ranking of other systems first so that you can tweak your signals to reach higher position. Eg, open 10 positions with 0.1 lots instead of one with 1 lot accumulates pips a lot faster.

There legally obligated to put hypothetical on the site. Im a signal provider and there is no way that my results can look good but I would be losing big time. My signal is profitable and so is my live account.
Market Makers are the best
