  5. I read in their site that commissions are not included in the results ? If so that would change any real returns drastically.

  6. Along with touch fills...you bet your life it makes a difference...any profits you see there...cut in half .

    And if breakeven....at least a 15% loss ...depending on trading frequency.

  7. You are misinformed. All fills are based on bid and ask prices. The "if touched" problem was clarified a couple years ago, and people still disregard the results when it is really like only letting people play with wooden bats. It's a matter of equality.

  8. Real time results are the ONLY legitimate way to go...

    Collective 2 and similar sites are good for testing trading theories, but lend little credibilty in the real world.

    Sites like Striker.com would have to be more credible than Collective2 as they are real time, real money accounts...Another could be Robbins...

    C2 has a feature which allows you to see the average real price fills of all the real trades of all the subscribers who auto trade the particular system.

    In addition, on the upgraded site they also have a new feature where you can figure out the return net of commission depending on the commission schedule of the broker you are using.

    If you know a better auto trading service than C2 please let us know.

  10. That I will give you, but results are not significantly different than what's reported. In fact, the reported fills tend to be quite pessimistic.

    I believe futurestruth.com is a wonderful website, and I can't wait to have a top 10 S&P system in the next issue.
