Kind of offtopic, but...
C2 doesn't have 65K members, just like ET doesn't have 100K (or whatever the claim is). That is the number of people EVER signed up, including multiple sign ups, not the active membership.

I would say you can divide that by 10 (or more) to get the active membership. I signed into C2 maybe twice this year, I wouldn't even call that active...

I'll go with it. Let's say that out of 65,000 members, only 6,500 (10%) are potential subscribers. To get the desired 150 subscribers to your system, you only need 2.3% of these potential subscribers, which doesn't seem like a big stretch, if your system is the top-performing C2 system.

Just out of curiosity, I might try to find that system over the weekend. Anyway, running the numbers backward:

If the system is 3 years (40 months, for easier math) old and charges $300 per month it only needs about 42 subscribers to make half million in fees. That is easily doable with only 5000 active members...
 
Happy new year to you all. I am on board a ship at the moment and only checking emails etc sporadically I will be back posting in a week.
Happy trading to all for 2013
 
I am back, energized and ready for action.

If I can sum up 2012 for my Velocity fund - TOUGH!!!
I ended the year -1.12% would have been nice to at least be positive.

As my guru John Hussman says 2012 was a difficult year for risk averse investors.
 
Tough year? The markets were up 10%. Only way you could lose like this is if you have no idea what you are doing.

I submitted my track records to a few firms looking to employ traders.

I had two places accept the records and say lets go.

Drum Roll.....

Then I asked if they can employ foreigners and they said no.....

The End.

Is that why all those hedge and mutual funds lost money?


ps apparently very, very few hedge and mutual fund managers out perform S&P 500.

It would be enough to generate more than 97% of our score, but I would argue not enough to make an allocation. An investor needs to know more than just the raw closing numbers.

I don't think investors want to know minute details of thousands of trades. I think it's a noise for them. The trades are for traders kind of people, investors are interested in risk and rewards. Especially that your system is not based on signals like collective2.

Apart from the complete lack of class behind this comment, you clearly don't understand that strategies can be uncorrelated to equity benchmarks. (I'm assuming you are referring to equities when you refer to "markets"?)

Plenty of strategies exhibit poor performance against equity benchmarks over one year horizons and yet outperform equities dramatically over a 5 year horizon.

But you obviously know this right? I mean, since you are intimating that you what you are doing...
