EVERY TRADE IS TRACKED IN REAL-TIME
See the track record.
Then make the call.
Sure, the “annual return” stat is a nice headline. But the details are what matter. Collective2 lets you examine all the activity behind a trading strategy before deciding whether it belongs in your brokerage account.
Browse strategy recordsReal strategies from the Collective2 leaderboard (snapshot September 2026). All performance results displayed by Collective2 are hypothetical. Past results do not assure future results.
The wins. The losses. The record.
Look beyond a single return to examine trades, gains, losses, drawdowns, and available measures.
Your judgment stays central
Collective2 provides the evidence and access. You decide what the record means for you.

NO DELETE BUTTON
A Collective2 track record
is a commitment.
There are many ways a “track record” can mislead you. The worst is a backtest: you tell a computer — or an AI — to try out a trading method over the last five or ten years of historical data, and report how it would have performed. Which sounds good in theory, except for one problem: 99% of backtest results land in the wastepaper basket. You only ever see the 1 in 100 that did well. The other 99 are deleted — no trading guru builds a web site showing the 99 ideas that stunk.
Collective2 isn’t like that. We insist strategy managers stand by their track records, in one of two ways: either they show us their real brokerage-account results, for which they risk real money; or they commit to publishing their buy and sell signals on a go-forward basis. No deleting trades. No walking away from a failed strategy — its record stays up whether or not the manager does.
Sure, a record here is still hypothetical — more on that below, and please do read the warning at the bottom of this page about the risks of relying on hypothetical results. But this fact stands: every track record you see on Collective2 was called in real time, on a go-forward basis, or comes from a live brokerage account. No deleting bad trades. No altering results because the manager “would, coulda, shoulda.”
TRUST, BUT VERIFY
The track record is hypothetical.
The prices are real. (Mostly.) (see footnote)
The single, coolest, most awesome feature of Collective2? When we show you a hypothetical track record, we use the real-life trade prices that real subscribers got inside their brokerage accounts, whenever those prices are available.
Why is this good? Most trading strategy web sites “simulate” how a strategy performs. They do this by asking, “What was the market price at the moment this trade recommendation was issued?” And, you know, that’s a pretty decent way of doing things.
Except.
In real life, not everyone gets that first price. When a lot of people follow a strategy, the price gets worse and worse, as more and more people try to buy (or sell).
At Collective2, we have direct electronic communication with brokerage firms. So when we send a published “trade signal” we learn the actual real-life prices that real subscribers received. Then we use the volume-weighted average of these real-life prices in order to calculate the hypothetical track record price you see on C2. Yes, the track record is still hypothetical, and there are still important inherent limitations of hypothetical track records. But we think using real-life trade results is a much better way to show how a strategy performs. (P.S. When no real-life AutoTraders follow a strategy in a live brokerage account, we simulate fills using real-time prices.)
Four trades from the live records of the strategies shown (snapshots Aug–Sep 2026); fill data shown with account identities removed. Fills are timestamped to the second; fills within the same second are spread horizontally so each stays visible — vertical position is always the exact fill price. Strategy track records are hypothetical: they model an account that followed every signal, and your results would differ. Weighted-average re-marking applies where subscribers AutoTraded the signal. Past results do not assure future results.
Collective2 uses the real-life prices of AutoTraders that follow a strategy to calculate the price shown in a trading track record. Track records on Collective2 must still be considered hypothetical because, among other reasons: there is no single real-life brokerage account that looks exactly like a Model Account track record on Collective2; not all trades are followed by real-money brokerage accounts (in cases where no AutoTraders follow a strategy, C2 uses real-time bid or ask prices to simulate likely prices), individual AutoTraders may start and stop trading at any time, apply their own stop-losses and profit targets, and increase and decrease the sizes at which they trade. Collective2 track records are hypothetical. Please read the warnings about hypothetical results at the bottom of this page. Trading is risky and not appropriate for everyone.
Go-forward, never backtested
A record starts when the strategy goes live and grows signal by signal. Nothing is reconstructed from historical simulations after the fact.
Anchored to real executions
When subscribers AutoTrade, the record’s fill prices are re-marked to the volume-weighted average of the prices their brokers actually reported — not left at the manager’s quoted price.
Verifiable down to the penny
Every fill behind a price stays listed on the trade — broker, size, price, and time, with account identities removed. Open a strategy’s trade history and check.

Read full disclosures Trading involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of capital. All performance results displayed on Collective2 must be regarded as hypothetical. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations, actual investor results may differ, and past results do not assure future results.
Collective2 LLC is a member of the National Futures Association (NFA).
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.
Trading is risky. You can lose money. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Futures and forex trading is not appropriate for everyone.
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.
