The price per share is determined from the individual transactions of the fund manager and the performance derived from them. Social trading follows a similar concept. Signal providers, signal information services, trading system developers - to name just a few typical examples - allow third parties access to the strategies underlying the respective systems. How the signals or trading strategies can be used depends on the technical implementation. Signals information services are usually editorial descriptions created in text form and provided to interested parties via electronic communication media such as email or messenger.
