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.
System creator requested that closed trades data below be delayed by seven days.

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.
This is the same identical IWM signal that my old SMA signal used. Please refer to SMA for historical performance.
I will run this signal with the account balance plus 50% for every trade.
The following adjust made on 3-1-10.
We are getting hurt on the short side with this signal way too much. I am changing my money management to adjust for the losses on the short side. This adjustment is the result of studying the signal since inception on C2 and not the result of the recent past.
In the future I will trade TNA with account value plus 25%. On the down side it will be IWM short with account value. Just exactly the way I will trade in my own account in the future.
Some evenings I may be working very late into the evening. Please check your email for signals before the open in the morning.

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 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.)
Trades UWM and TWM. All signals issued before market open and all trades should be market orders on the open. read more...
