| | Hi Steve,
First I will describe my setup:
Trader68 is connected to an Advisor Account of TraderWorkStation.
I wanted to trade a single account and set up the correct allocation type under broker settings in trader68.
Let F123456 be the advisor account with a fund of 2000$ and let U123456 the single account which I want to trade in with a fund of 100000$.
When I get a signal from collective2 which is scaled for the U123456 it cannot be executed properly because trader68 claims that the available funds are missing. This is because trader68 takes the available funds from the advisor account and not from the single U123456 account. The trade is executed in the U123456 account but not with the correct size...
I hope I could explain the problem. Here is the log:
0 02/10/2010 03:15:12 AM Systemname : GBP.JPY: Position size adjusted for available funds in account from size of 200000 to 32774. Available funds was 2162.05.
And 2162.05 is the fund of the advisor account.
How can I solve this problem?

Hello Josef,
We can only assume this change came about when the other Financial Advisor changes happened back in November that was not caught until now. Fortunately, you can bypass Trader68 for the size adjustments by unchecking the box in the Account Settings for "Clip order sizes to available capital". That will allow for the original trade amount to reach TWS without Trader68 interference.
We are on the cusp of releasing Trader68 3.0 Beta and this bug will be fixed by the time Trader68 3.0 is ready for full release. I apologize for any inconvenience and please let me know if you experience any problems with the workaround.
Thanks,
Steve @ Trader68 Support |

Hello Steve,
Thanks for your answer. I browsed several times the tabs in Trader68 but I couldn't find your described option, which I should uncheck. Would you be so kind as to describe me the exact way to get to these checkbox.
Thanks and best regards

Hello Josef,
Simply right-click on your account in the Summary of Accounts window and choose Edit Account Settings. The checkbox is right there on the initial tab.
Thanks,

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.
