| | Was trading the oz dollar today and had some large drawdowns that I finally had worked over. I was positive for the day going into the US equity markets close, and then bam, the bid got pulled from underneath the oz dollar and had everything for the day taken. The liquidity seemed too thin to mess with it really thereafter. I tried, but it did not help.
I intend to wait for a setup when I come across something and am hopeful to bring the account positive.
For now, am going to scale the trading size down to 1:1 until it makes more sense for me to raise the contract size. This will at least make the probe trades less expensive. |

What is the C2 Score?
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.
