| | Is there such a thing as "a good broker for C2"? Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Connects to C2 with a working Gen3 connection
2. Can trade most or all the systems on C2: equities, options including selling naked puts and calls; futures including less-traded ones like DAX; and forex
3. Reasonable commissions, fees, and executions
(Note I did not ask for "the lowest fees" or "superb customer service" or "brilliant reporting and accounting". I just want something that works)
Please let me know, thank you. |

PFG Best would be that broker if only they could make Gen 3 work. Hopefully they don't do the same individuals only so proprietary accounts could use TOS. |

Hi Francis, MB Trading does not allow naked options selling, nor do they offer DAX or Eurostoxx futures among others, FYI. I've also been unable to get Gen3 to work with them (C2 help has looked into it...) |

Thanks Francis, I checked out that page and it doesn't discuss naked selling, in addition I had gotten this message from them:
I see that you attempted to submit three separate Options orders to
sell-write 45 contracts of +XXXX-120519C25.00. Writing a naked or
uncovered option is not allowed, you can write the contract if the
position was covered with a long position in XXXX.
I will contact their chat line again and see if I can get a different answer. Still have not been able to connect to them via Gen3, Alen is looking into it but it's a mystery, apparently OK on the MB side and the C2 side. |

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.
