Collecting Track Record

I already have an automated system developed. Don't want to move the strategy to C2.

Ok. But in case you misunderstood: You don't have to 'move the strategy.' You can just enter your signals, and they track the trades and stats. But they don't import past trades.
 
Just a quick example may look like this:

5/1/2016. Net Liquidation Value = $100,000
5/2/2016. Buy 300 x SPY at $205.
5/28/2016. Sell 300 x SPY at $209.
May Profit/Loss = $1,200
May Return = + $1,200/$100,000 = +1.2%

6/1/2016. Net Liquidation Value = $101,200
6/17/2016. Buy 300 x SPY at $207.
6/24/2016. Sell 300 x SPY at $205.
June Profit/Loss = -$800
June Return = - $800/$101,200 = -0.79%

etc...

Yes, I guess I indeed misunderstood. I thought the strategy has to be implement and executed in C2. By saying signal do you mean actual trades? I will have to investigate this bit more.

Yes. You can choose your starting balance, etc. etc. You can then enter your trades manually (if you prefer) using their trading interface...like you would on a broker's web site. You can also use an API, email, etc. etc.

Thats' what fundseeder will do, but the NLV will be marked to market on a daily basis not a monthly basis

6 months of fully automated trading. Though, cant see how is this related to my question.

Nevermind, you already revealed it in a different thread...that I recall.;)o_O

You said you generate about, on average 13%/year -- I answered my own question.
...That's kind of like trading or learning about trading...it's basically a self-taught thing. All in due time, you will discover the answers to all of your questions.
 
Yes, I need it because the net value of the account is misleading. If I start with $300k account, and monthly deposit $20k it might seem like 80% return during the first year. Instead what should really matter are the trades regardless of the account equity.

If your trading equity is constant, use the notional value of that constant. Just say your allocation is $XXX and you never use more margin than that requires. You should keep daily statements to prove that.

Their UI seems very complex. I get lost there. Will have to go over with customer support to understand how to configure this.

I can always pull daily reports from IB, but I was thinking to have a better way of advertising. Nice charts, detailed transactions....
