On this page, and others within this Web site, you are going to read about trading systems and
their performance. It's important that you understand that all results reported on these pages must be treated as hypothetical results.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation
is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are
frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical
trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example,
the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual
trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully
accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
Warning about commission costs
Collective2 does not, by default, include commissions and execution costs when displaying hypothetical results. These costs will certainly make your actual trading results worse than the results you see here. For high-frequency trading systems, your results will be vastly worse than the results you see here.
Do you understand that this warning applies to every page of this site?
We show this warning, and block your view of a trading system's hypothetical results screen, at least once each "session" that
you come to this Web site. (Specifically, we show this warning the first time you view a system page and then every 60 minutes thereafter.)
Also, this same warning is displayed at the bottom of almost every page in this Web site. So you can always scroll to the bottom of the page to see the warning again. Therefore, we will not block your view of data during each page load, or we would make this site unusable. Before you can continue, you must acknowledge that: 1) you have read this warning, and 2) you accept that - while this pop-up warning
will not block your view during every page load - the warning here nevertheless applies to every page on this Web site.
By closing this window, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this warning.
Collective2 rates every trading advisor in its database and assigns a score between 100 and 1000.
In general, a rating above 500 is good. A rating above 700 is excellent.
Collective2 Ratings are recalculated daily based on the entire performance history in our database. The exact formula we use is proprietary, but there are several key variables that go into the Collective2 Rating.
One of the most important factors is the length of time we have been able to observe the performance of the trader.
Another key factor is the amount by which the trader over-performs or under-performs the S&P 500 index.
Finally, the choppiness of the trader's results is taken into account. Certainly a more consistent trader will be rated more highly than a trader with erratic results.
Once a long signal is generated, the system will purchase EWC (iShares Canada) using margin. Once a neutral signal is generated, the system will go to cash.

There is a free trial period of 30 days before you are charged.
You may cancel at any time before this (we send you an email at least a day before, to remind you, so there are no surprises.)
Then, after the trial, you will be charged $25 per month. (That is, we will charge you every 30 days - not when the month name on the calendar changes. So it's okay to sign up towards the end of a calendar month. You'll still get a full 30 days.)
