| | Good morning. Maybe 1 trade today. I don't predict market because I am not smart enough to do it. That's why I trade what I see and participate in the market. There's no up or down bias in my mind. It occurs equally. For investments (what I mean is a relatively long-term), I need to be smart to make my decisions (I wish I were like Buffett!). Again, I don't swing-trade because as I said I can't predict tomorrow's market heading. Rather, I enjoy participating in the market at moment by moment. I am not too excited to see my positions. I feel almost none feeling. I am not too greedy so I don't force myself to trade. I don't set my absolute daily goal either so I don't force myself to trade. I don't feel fear so I don't force myself to trade anything. I don't look at my trading account statement each single day, just once a 2 weeks or so, so I don't worry my account is up or down. I do appreciate that we have a financial market we can participate in so that I can make my living (buying food and so on...) Points will follow if I accomplish my mind to be in sync with the market, which is a thing I have been trying to naturally. These are just my thoughts for each everyday and each moment. Thank you. |

For what its worth, trying to offer a scalping system over C2 has usually proved to have little value.
1) For example, people who autotrade have said in the past, that they are often unable to recreate the successful trades offered by a system. (See the autotrading forum to get some of these feelings).
2) For those who trade manually, the delay in getting and placing scalp trades can be significant enough to wipe out some of the potentially small profit...
3) An APD of 0.31 is not very encouraging...
Suggestion? Attempt to seek somewhat higher average profit (perhaps fewer, but longer trades).
But if you can swing it and subscribers are happy, then more power to you... |

What is the C2 Score?
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.
