Collective2 rates every trading system creator 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 system creator will be rated more highly than a system creator with erratic results.
The goal is to catch short term corrections in quality stocks and capture a profit within a short period. This can be within the same day, but most likely within 1-3 days.
Several stocks will be reviewed each day after the market close. Any Buy orders will be issued after 9:45am the next morning. There will be a GTC Limit order to Sell issued after an order is filled that will seek a profit. I am currently not using Stop orders after a Buy because risk tolerances vary from person to person. So use a Stop that is appropriate for you.
Trying to keep trade sizes reasonable at about $10k per order. Since we expect 1-3 stocks being bought per day and a 1-3 day trade length, the $10k trade size seems about right such that the initial $100k starting balance will always have cash available when we need it.
The reason for entering orders after 9:45am instead of at the 9:30 open is that many stocks will gap up at the open and need some time to settle down before we would want to buy them.

There is a free trial period of 10 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 $0 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.)
Enter LONG only positions on quality stocks that have sold off from their trend. Length of trade is optimally 1-3 days. read more...
