If you would like to keep your trading Strategy private then uncheck the Public box. Private trading strategies will appear in your call account and will trigger alerts but will not be viewable by other Zignals members or be followed.
There are no restrictions on the number of trade strategy you create, or on which exchanges/FX/commodites ideas are made.
An internal ranking system (ZiQ) awards trade strategies which hit their targets but penalises cancelled strategies - particularly those strategies which are negative but have yet to hit their stop price. This is to reward members who meet their targets and ensure adequate stop protection on the flip side.
As part of the revenue share (coming soon), Trade Strategies creators will earn 50% of the $1 to $5 subscription per month your followers pay to follow you. The first 100 followers you have are charged $1 a month with subsequent followers paying $1 to $5 per month. The revenue feature is coming soon; there is no charge to follow Trade Strategies creators while in Beta, and consequently, no income to be earned either.
