For Collective2 to market a strategy effectively, the strategy must have a visible track record that can be shown to subscribers. We do not show still-open trades to people who have not yet subscribed. Therefore, to achieve C2Star certification, strategies must build a track record of closed trades. We do not measure based on number of closed trades. Rather, we measure the % of capital deployed in closed trades. You can learn more about how we measure Capital Deployment here.
Closed trades must represent minimum deployment of capital

What is "gaming" C2Star?

Here's a hint: you'll know it when you do it. Gamesmanship includes: running multiple strategies that are substantially identical, running strategies without placing meaningful trades, or failing to offer a practical trading strategy that is attractive to actual investors.

All decisions about what constitutes gamesmanship will be made by C2 Administrators. Managers who engage in gamesmanship will be removed from the C2 Star program.

No Gamesmanship
Attempts to "game" C2Star certification will be disqualified.
