C2Star
C2Star is a certification program for trading strategies. In order to become "C2Star Certified," a strategy must apply tight risk controls, and must exhibit excellent performance characteristics, including low drawdowns.
You can read more about C2Star certification requirements here.
Note that: all trading strategies are risky, and C2Star Certification does not imply that a strategy is low risk.
Rate of Return Calculations
Overview
To comply with NFA regulations, we display Cumulative Rate of Return for strategies with a track record of less than one year. For strategies with longer track records, we display Annualized (Compounded) Rate of Return.
How Annualized (Compounded) Rate of Return is calculated
= ((Ending_equity / Starting_equity) ^ (1 / age_in_years)) - 1
Remember that, following NFA requirements, strategy subscription costs and estimated commissions are included in marked-to-market equity calculations.
All results are hypothetical.

Strategy Description
Methodology
This EA produces Monte Carlo simulations of the Forex market every minute for a number of periods into the future. A mean and standard deviation are obtained from this projection, and are fed into a trade decision subroutine. This information is then used to enter the market when conditions are favorable and exit when they are not.
This system centers around a very robust risk management strategy using the Monte Carlo method. Instead of seeking a high win rate by having an SL thousands of pips away (which can result in margin calls and losses to subscribers), we use sound statistical methodology. Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels are set dynamically based on the projected means and standard deviation upon execution. Stop-Loss levels are tight, sometimes set as low as 15 pips away from the entry, so while we may not have an artificially high win rate, what you see in our equity curve is representative of the drawdown percentage you should expect in your account. It is very important to scale your account properly, however. Please see the discussion below on risk management.
This instance of the MCFX system uses multiple positions per traded pair executed within a probability cloud. Because of the multiple position strategy, this system is intended to be used in larger accounts.
Risk Management
The TP and SL are set using Monte Carlo standard deviation data when an entry is executed. The lot size is calculated such that 3% of the account will be lost if the SL is hit on all possible positions at any given time. This risk is divided by however many instruments are being traded and the maximum number of open positions in each instrument. For example, if we're trading the USDCAD and GBPUSD and a maximum of 30 positions in each, every position opened risks 0.05% of the principal in the account, such that if the maximum number of positions are entered in both pairs simultaneously, 3% of the account will be at risk. Note that even though this is a conservative and bounding scenario, it is possible to have a string of losing transactions causing the user to lose more than 3% of their account within any given period.
Please note that the risk percentage is approximate since C2 does not allow fractional lots. To allow for the most granularity in position sizing, the maximum account size was selected for broadcast.
If you have a $1,000,000 account and would like to trade with a 3% risk, your scaling factor will be 1. Otherwise, please calculate your scaling factor as follow:
sf = AB / rAB * R / rR
where:
sf = scaling factor
AB = account balance (yours)
rAB = reference account balance (mine)
R = desired risk (yours)
rR = reference risk (3%)
For example, a $10,000 account at 6% risk would use a scaling factor of 0.02 (10k/1M * 6/3)
Latest Activity
Most values on this page (including the Strategy Equity Chart, above) have been adjusted by estimated trading commissions and subscription costs.
Some advanced users find it useful to see "raw" Model Account values. These numbers do not include any commissions, fees, subscription costs, or dividend actions.
Strategy developers can "archive" strategies at any time. This means the strategy Model Account is reset to its initial level and the trade list cleared. However, all archived track records are permanently preserved for evaluation by potential subscribers.
About the results you see on this Web site
Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.
These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
Material assumptions and methods used when calculating results
The following are material assumptions used when calculating any hypothetical monthly results that appear on our web site.
- Profits are reinvested. We assume profits (when there are profits) are reinvested in the trading strategy.
- Starting investment size. For any trading strategy on our site, hypothetical results are based on the assumption that you invested the starting amount shown on the strategy's performance chart. In some cases, nominal dollar amounts on the equity chart have been re-scaled downward to make current go-forward trading sizes more manageable. In these cases, it may not have been possible to trade the strategy historically at the equity levels shown on the chart, and a higher minimum capital was required in the past.
- All fees are included. When calculating cumulative returns, we try to estimate and include all the fees a typical trader incurs when AutoTrading using AutoTrade technology. This includes the subscription cost of the strategy, plus any per-trade AutoTrade fees, plus estimated broker commissions if any.
- "Max Drawdown" Calculation Method. We calculate the Max Drawdown statistic as follows. Our computer software looks at the equity chart of the system in question and finds the largest percentage amount that the equity chart ever declines from a local "peak" to a subsequent point in time (thus this is formally called "Maximum Peak to Valley Drawdown.") While this is useful information when evaluating trading systems, you should keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results. Therefore, future drawdowns may be larger than the historical maximum drawdowns you see here.
Trading is risky
There is a substantial risk of loss in futures and forex trading. Online trading of stocks and options is extremely risky. Assume you will lose money. Don't trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
