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.

Annual Return (Compounded)

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

These are my discretionary predictions which are based on my own proprietary blend of analysis including quantitative analysis (mechanical systems), technical analysis, sentiment, and other factors.

FAQ

1. I see some fractional contracts why is that?

I've been so successful that my system equity grew to a point where I felt it made sense for me to "rescale" it down. This will make it easier for those with less capital to track me. The percent changes are the same except I'm penalized because the monthly fees are applied to a lower starting capital.

2. The after commissions performance doesn't look the best. What performance is possible?

The after commission is set by default to "typical" commissions which is too high for this system. If you use MBTrading or OpenECry, you will see a much better and more realistic result. Some traders may even achieve slightly better actual results then the after cost estimates (using cheaper brokers/better deals using Gen1). I have found this to be true at least on some days.

More Info:

1. I focus on directional timing strategies. The core strategy will not hold more then 1 position at any time. I do experiment and try to find creative edges.

2. I do use some leverage. Leverage can both magnify gains and losses and the differences both positive and negative are typically strongly modulated by volatility.

I vary my position size currently on a few factors: confidence, time-in-market consideration, perceived risk, personal goals, and type of trade.

3. I do not use or believe in martingale strategies. However, I do believe that in certain rare cases the optimal course of action may require that one opens a new position on a position that is already underwater. I always try to take the optimal action. I may at unique times average into a trade.

4. Most of my trades are executed during the regular session and closed before or shortly after the close. I may hold positions up to a few days but currently my style is day trading.

5. I use multiple risk management strategies. First, I use the C2 constraint feature which sets a large autostop on each position. This is currently set at 3% but may be reduced or increased. I anticipate the range to stay between 2% and 3.5%. However, I often will set a tighter stop of only a few points shortly after entering a position. I rarely take losses in that range but it can happen.

6. I do trade distinctly different styles, and I do experiment. In some cases, I may shoot for a high win ratio and use targets and in other cases I may try to catch big trends. I always try to win. But, I'm, also, training, practicing, and trying to hone my techniques. Be wary of extrapolating a short history of my trading style into the future. During some periods, you may see my trading style change dramatically as I work on new skills or try out new ideas. I always try to win though.

7. My market calls could prove extremely valuable and profitable to the intraday trader and do promote my service as more then a trading system. I do feel my services could be invaluable in terms of intraday decision support.

8. I have found that setting hard/inflexible rules does not bring out the best in my performance. Instead, I've found that having a general plan and guidelines to be more effective. Thus, one should view this plan as a work-in-progress and as a general guidelines or blue print. This plan will be updated as time goes on and changes may be made without explicit notification.

9. My performance may vary as I change my personal goals. My current goals are to be consistently profitable, and my new goal is to produce returns in the 50% to 120% range. Higher returns require taking a higher risk. Please note that risk will be higher going forward. The previous maximum risk likely understate the future risks.

10. As noted, I do take experimental trades and vary my position size. If you auto-trade either issue may be an important consideration. I advise to monitor and evaluate your risk tolerance carefully.

Warning:
This system, as any trading system, is host to both known and unknown risk. Significant loss including total account loss is a distinct possibility with any system. Past performance is no guarantee of future profits. I am not a financial professional and can not, and do not, offer investment advice.

No warranty is implied or guaranteed. As system is discretionary, adaptation or changes to all rules, style of trading, position sizing, and use of leverage may take place at any time without warning or notification. You agree to not hold me liable for any order entry mistakes, timing delays, or other failures. By signing up for my system you acknowledge all of these risks and unspecified risk and agree to not hold me liable for any losses. Any claims are my opinion and not the claims of my employer.


Please don't even *THINK* about trading this system unless you are prepared to lose up to 12% to 30% on a NORMAL downswing and more on a larger then anticipated downswing. I've set extremely high return goals for myself that will increase the risk going forward. Thanks!

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.

Okay, gotcha.
