Cons
Some inconsistent leaders to be aware of Employing an effective money management system can be difficult for beginners Leaders are not formally vetted. The ZuluGuardTM feature does mitigate this risk, however, by automatically removing a leader when detecting a trading strategy has deviated from its expected loss profile	The lack of additional charting platforms like MT4 will reduce the appeal for seasoned day traders accustomed to using third-party software. There are no guaranteed stop loss orders which would be a useful risk management feature for beginners. There is a $30 minimum withdrawal amount and a $5 fee, which will affect novices with low capital. There are limited contact methods aside from the in-platform live chat.
