Anyone who has ever held a winning trade has at one time or another questioned whether or not they should stay with it or close it out and take their profits. There are many methods of trade management, such as scaling out and trailing stops, that help to address this important question...

Amen to that!!!

GTS, You bring up some good points that are very popular views. I believe I already addressed the issue of account blowouts and traders starting new accounts so I won't beat that dead horse. However, your point about the good systems leaving C2 does not account for those traders who...

C2 has an autotrade feature that works with a specific group of real money brokers. This list is also about to expand from what I understand. I do not see why it would not work with simulated accounts if the entries were made manually by the trader. Sincerely, Daryl

I am a professional trader and I have posted my system on Collective2 for the past ten months. I did it to establish a non-biased third party record of one of my system's statistical performance with the intention of one day attracting enough seed capital to start a hedge fund. I do not find...

Ontrial, I have looked through many of the pages of your forum and I understand that your intent is to demonstrate your trading ability in order to prove yourself eligible to manage funds. Perhaps I missed this in a prior post, but why not just do what you are doing on a site called...

riskfreetrading, Your post has made me hungry. I love steak!!! :)

I agree with you totally, Robbie380. Unfortunately, anyone who has ever looked at my system in a serious way always hits me with this issue. Despite the fact that I point out that this system/fund should only be one of many in a well diversified portfolio which would remedy the problem, it is...

While the interest continues to grow, up to this point I have not generated any subscribers. It is my understanding that some system developers make US $12-14k per month from subscription fees alone. However, being able to have my system performance statistically tracked by a non-biased...

Robbie380, Presently I am not managing any funds other than my own and that's not much to speak of. However, I am intent on changing that. :D Sincerely, Daryl

Riskfreetrading, As per Collective2, my compounded annual return (geometric extrapolation) is 28.6% over 316 days as of today. If you wish to verify this or reference further statistics regarding my system (called QQQQubert), the link is http://www.collective2.com/go/qqqqubert and click on...

After reading these posts and learning the various methods traders are using to protect their funds against sudden market declines, I started to wonder if there is a company out there that insures a fund against such an occurrence? I mean, you can insure your house, your business, your car...

I want to thank everybody who has taken the time to post to this forum. Your replies have been insightful and chock full of great suggestions and guidance. There are obviously many options (no pun intended) in being able to protect a fund from drastic moves in the market. Based on what has...

Wave, Thank you for taking the time to post those links. I have been reading them and they are very informative and applicable to the question at hand. I will admit, however, that the second link ties my brain in a knot. Here is an excerpt: "We also estimate the co-exceedance probability...

Any suggestion on the best way to do that? Thanks, Daryl

Not sure I understand your question, so if I don't answer it, please let me know and I will clarify further. I think what separates my system from others selling premium is that most traders selling puts do not want to acquire the underlying. My system is designed like a business that acquires...

I agree about the leverage and my wife would agree that I am totally unrealistic!:) However, I limit the fund to 2x leverage. Also, I only make 2-4 trades per month and their entries have the flexibility of being gradual. I am basing my calculation on having $500M (or $1B leveraged), and...

Pa(b)st, I get that a lot and up to this point, your argument is valid in that there has been little interest in the fund. Unfortunately, certain parts of my system are proprietary so I can not fully explain how it is different. All I can do is show you the performance and related...

Chanelops, I have looked at Gold before for the same reasons. However, I did not pursue it, because many traders feel that the relationship between gold (and oil as well) and the markets has significantly changed and historical correlation is no longer pertinent. I am not stating this as a...

The Vix is an excellent suggestion. I watch it closely for my other trading, but have never traded it directly. I will investigate it further. Once again, the biggest question is how much is this "insurance" going to eat into the fund's performance. Thanks! Daryl
