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.
Q. What it trades?
A set of 12-15 individual US stocks. Most trades last from a few minutes to hours.
Q. Does it go Long only
NO, the system takes advantage from the short side as well. It will go long and short names. These are easy to borrow names, so locates for shorts will be readily available at your broker.
Q Can I manually trade this system?
NOT RECOMMENDED. It is highly desireable, due to the frequency of trading that this be AutoTraded.
Q. Do you have Stops and Targets?
YES. Each order is entered in a limit and after execution, clear targets and Stop orders are placed.
Q. There are so many trades. What about commissions?
Yes, there are several trades that are executed in the day. With today's low commissions (like IB), the transaction cost has already been taken into account in the performance displayed.
Q. What is the account size required?
Starting capital can be scaled based on the model start value, which is 100k. It does day trade into margin, but tends to close all/most all trades at the end of the day. The trade size per trade is about 10k per trade, per name.

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 $149 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.)
Day Trades Stocks - The system takes advantage of market timing on about 12 stocks. In most cases the positions are closed at the end of the day but occasionally some positions might be carried overnite which will then be closed at the open of the next day. read more...
