| | Any idea when we'll be able to auto-trade with an account at Interactive Brokers? I have funds sitting idly with IB and will subscribe to a number of C2 systems as soon as auto-trading is set up. |

Hi Josh,
Currently Gen1 is offered at Interactive Brokers, but if you're holding out for Gen3... thats just around the corner (fingers crossed). We don't have a definitive date yet, but rest assured as soon as its available, we'll let the C2 community know.
Suggestion: There are several other brokerage firms that you can use in the meantime which currently offer Gen3 AutoTrading. When Interactive Brokers is Gen3 ready you can switch back.

Thank you for your prompt response, Melissa. I won't pretend that I'm not disappointed, since in an October 31st email to me Mathew said, "IB is about 8 weeks away, realistically." I know you're doing all you can, and I appreciate that. It's just not that easy to switch brokers, since each has its application process, learning curve, ACH challenges, closing costs, etc., and I figure that I have more trading power with my funds consolidated at one broker.
I'll say this: Progress updates from C2 regarding Gen3 trading with IB would be very much appreciated.
Thanks again for your response.

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.
