    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.

  6. 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.

    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.

    But I would want to see the trades as well instead of just one number.

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