You shouldn't expect a consensus answer on the important metrics as we all have different views. In my opinion, you can't consider return without considering risk and risk isn't volatility. For risk I look at the Calmar Ratio (CAGR / maximum drawdown) and Ulcer Index (as developed by Peter...

The following was on another thread: 1. We accumulate information – buying books, going to seminars and researching. 2. We begin to trade with our ‘new’ knowledge. 3. We consistently ‘donate’ and then realize we may need more knowledge or information. 4. We accumulate more...

I agree with MTE. Also, in order to confirm how robust your system is would require four or five years of actual trading so you will have gone through all the typical cycles. You need to go through a rough patch with your trading so you will think "Good thing I still have my day job!". I...

If you are a TD customer, can't you have an account with TD Ameritrade?

C2, as you know, permits you to avoid the legal complications and required certifications of providing financial advice as you are really a publisher of trades on C2. Another option is Covestor You say that you are trading far more than $200K. If so, the amount that you can expect to...

My "Trend Trading" system is five months old and is the fourth most popular long term stock trading system. I have subscribers and my experience with C2 has been positive. I suspect the biggest obstacle you currently face is the short period of time your system has been on C2. I know of a...

I call bluff! Why don't you take a system that has been on C2 for over two years, reverse engineer it and correctly predict the next five trades. Somebody with neural net experience can chime in here but as I understand it, in order to reverse engineer a trading system you have to know what...

krazykarl: By going the IB route are there any legal concerns such as dealing with an upset friend or family matter who wants to sue if the investments perform poorly?

Would you hold the exact same securities in each portfolio scaled based on the total account size? If yes, you could consider becoming a vendor on Collective2.com and having your friends and relatives autotrade off your trades. The legal issues of trading someone else's account are not a...

Pekelo: Your points are valid from my experience. One other thought - I suspect that some of the system developers have their trading systems on C2 in order to develop objective, third party performance statistics that they can take to a hedge fund, etc when applying for a trading position...

goodgoing: You are entitled to your opinion regardless of how little sense it makes. I have seen this comment about reverse engineering before. If someone has the technical prowess to reverse engineer a system (good luck with that), why in the world wouldn't they develop their own, better...

I have my Trend Trading system on C2 which is based on trading about 25 ETF's and using leverage. I started this system on July 28 and have attached the statistics as of today. There are far more comprehensive statistics available on C2. Someone commented earlier that the owner of C2 is...

If you want to get on CNBC you have to be prepared to make bold forecasts even though forecasting stock market's over the coming 12 month's is a fools game. I recommend Dan Gardner's latest book "Future Babble: Why Expert Predictions Fail - And Why We listen to Them Anyway". I am a trend...

Maria just spoke to an analyst about the day's trading and Maria asked what were investors selling. The analyst said "Nothing. Investors were buying in anticipation of a rally in January.". Someone should inform that guy that it takes two parties to make a trade: one buys and one sells.

I am an ETF trend trader and the title of this thread caught my attention. Murray, you have not provided actual results of your system. You have noted your affiliation with Tuttle Wealth Management. Should anyone take the time to go to Tuttle's site they will note that all of the Tuttle...
