| | I want to give subscribers the option to increase position size if they wish to trade the system more aggressively. Realistically, it can be traded up to 200% when using the same size account as the model account.
For example, an 8k account can be traded with up to max 16 mini lots, instead of the 8 I'm using right now. That would be equivalent to the risk I used when I first started trading this system.
I initially traded with 6% max risk per position. I then lowered it to 3% to limit the potential draw down. 20% profit with 5% draw down is less risk than 40% profit with 10% draw down. However, its also less profitable.

Hi Eric,
I'm using a max of 4 minilots with 50% scaling for now. I've only dedicated $4K to the system but will be looking to increase this soon, hopefully to $8K.
So based on what you've said above, this currently puts me at around 3% risk, which is perfectly fine with me.
I do like your trading style and enjoy the weekly analysis. Having tight stops is key to the success of a system in my opinion.
Keep up the good work.
Geoff. |

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.
