C2Star

C2Star is a certification program for trading strategies. In order to become "C2Star Certified," a strategy must apply tight risk controls, and must exhibit excellent performance characteristics, including low drawdowns.

You can read more about C2Star certification requirements here.

Note that: all trading strategies are risky, and C2Star Certification does not imply that a strategy is low risk.

Annual Return (Compounded)

Rate of Return Calculations

Overview

To comply with NFA regulations, we display Cumulative Rate of Return for strategies with a track record of less than one year. For strategies with longer track records, we display Annualized (Compounded) Rate of Return.

How Annualized (Compounded) Rate of Return is calculated

= ((Ending_equity / Starting_equity) ^ (1 / age_in_years)) - 1

Remember that, following NFA requirements, strategy subscription costs and estimated commissions are included in marked-to-market equity calculations.

All results are hypothetical.

Strategy Description

General Description:

Zero i is a fully mechanical intraday stock trading system designed exclusively for autotrade with a low-cost broker through the Collective2 platform. The mean-reversion logics that drive this system are closely based on its swing trade predecessor Zero: http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/system34634928. Zero i is powered by a proprietary java application running daily on our Manhattan-based VPS.

Specifications:

Instruments Traded: stocks - Nasdaq 100

Account Type: cash, or margin IRA. Note that this system does not rely on leveraging capital, however, in order to avoid 'free-riding' penalties, a margin IRA account is required to allow cash proceeds from unsettled sales to be available for trading. See the following link for more information about this: http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/188.

Recommended Commission Structure: commission costs per trade should be 0.01 USD per share or less. An IB Cost Plus commission plan or better is ideal in order to maximize long-term profits.

Minimum Recommended Trading Capital: 27.5K. Zero i is a daytrade system therefore your liquid account value must meet the SEC Pattern Day Trading requirements in order to make all intended trades--the recommended trading amount assumes 25K plus a 10% drawdown cushion.

Trade Duration: trades can last between 3 sec and 50 min. All open trades are automatically closed before market close at 4PM ie. no trades are held overnight.

Max # of Simultaneous Positions: 10

Max Position Size: 10% of liquid capital. Note that pending individual stock volatility, a position can be averaged into, with a maximum total exposure of 20% of liquid capital to a given stock--such increased exposure is always limited to the max 50 min. trade duration.

Stoploss: 8% is hard-coded per position. Also, a 1% total portfolio stop equivalent to 10% per position has been selected in C2's risk contraint settings.

Disclaimer:

Past results are not indicative of future results and neither Vendor nor C2 is responsible for unfavorable performance deviations. It is recommended for a serious subscriber to papertrade Zero i for at least one week in a simulation brokerage account to become familiar with its idiosyncrasies before trading real money. It should be known that all fills in a simulation account will be similar but not the same as fills in a real account. Vendor is not responsible for syncing problems related to broker bridging software such as Tradebullet or Trader68. This system is only available to individuals through C2.

Most values on this page (including the Strategy Equity Chart, above) have been adjusted by estimated trading commissions and subscription costs.

Some advanced users find it useful to see "raw" Model Account values. These numbers do not include any commissions, fees, subscription costs, or dividend actions.

Strategy developers can "archive" strategies at any time. This means the strategy Model Account is reset to its initial level and the trade list cleared. However, all archived track records are permanently preserved for evaluation by potential subscribers.

About the results you see on this Web site

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Material assumptions and methods used when calculating results

The following are material assumptions used when calculating any hypothetical monthly results that appear on our web site.

  • Profits are reinvested. We assume profits (when there are profits) are reinvested in the trading strategy.
  • Starting investment size. For any trading strategy on our site, hypothetical results are based on the assumption that you invested the starting amount shown on the strategy's performance chart. In some cases, nominal dollar amounts on the equity chart have been re-scaled downward to make current go-forward trading sizes more manageable. In these cases, it may not have been possible to trade the strategy historically at the equity levels shown on the chart, and a higher minimum capital was required in the past.
  • All fees are included. When calculating cumulative returns, we try to estimate and include all the fees a typical trader incurs when AutoTrading using AutoTrade technology. This includes the subscription cost of the strategy, plus any per-trade AutoTrade fees, plus estimated broker commissions if any.
  • "Max Drawdown" Calculation Method. We calculate the Max Drawdown statistic as follows. Our computer software looks at the equity chart of the system in question and finds the largest percentage amount that the equity chart ever declines from a local "peak" to a subsequent point in time (thus this is formally called "Maximum Peak to Valley Drawdown.") While this is useful information when evaluating trading systems, you should keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results. Therefore, future drawdowns may be larger than the historical maximum drawdowns you see here.

Trading is risky

There is a substantial risk of loss in futures and forex trading. Online trading of stocks and options is extremely risky. Assume you will lose money. Don't trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Okay, gotcha.
