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.

How to see live brokerage trade data
Below, just click on any of the icons. This will pop up a window showing you who is trading this in a live brokerage account, at what trade size, and what prices the trader received. This will allow you to compare broker data to the hypothetical results you see below.
*SYSTEM IS CLOSED*
Discretionary system. All trades are real trades in my account linked to C2.
I am using IB (Interactive Brokers) and the IBtoC2 interface to transmit all trades.
- Short puts (Selling Put Options)
- Short calls (Selling Call Options)
- Covered calls (Selling Call Options while having the underlying security in the portfolio)
I recommend a minimum account of $25,000.
However you can trade with less but you have to scale down the individual trades.
One of the main goals is to keep draw down to a minimum.
Expect to see a lot of diversification.
Donīt expect any home runs but a steady increase of the invested capital.
Strategy:
Markets are scanned multiple times a day using proprietary filters to find high probability / low risk trades
Usually I close a trade if it gets too close the strike price - BUT - it might happen that - if a short put goes "into the money" (falls below strike) that I will take the shares on expiration date. That means you have to have enough money in your account to pay for them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important: There might be periods where I do not issue any trades.
This might happen, when in my opinion the risk / reward ratio is not in our favor.

We have not verified that this text above is an accurate system description. Remember there is a substantial risk of loss in trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
There is a free trial period of 5 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 $90 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.)

Options and some stocks. Minimum drawdown.
