Freezing the stats on the date a system is killed, allows for more accurate reference to the system and their trades as a whole as prior recorded by C2 at any future date and time when referenced later.
It appears that when a C2 system is killed, it stats continue to calculate (annualized profit appears to continue to compute with each day over so many days since system inception as the days continue to increase, even though a system is killed, etc…)
This seems odd to me. Shouldn’t the stats of a killed C2 system be “frozen” in time as well as of the kill date?
much agree.
I also agree. I have asked over and over for Mathew to take my old Target 50 signal to cash. He won’t do it. It is long IWM on margin. Since the market has tanked my C2 rating has gone down the drain with it. Also since the stats are updated and C2 in the past has always called a margin call, I am wondering why this signal has not had a margin call months ago. It seems like some margin calls apply and others don’t.

If I am understanding you correctly Rick, you killed the system with live / open trades, right?
No disrespect intended, however, IMHO, for C2 to allow a system to be killed with open trades, while continuing to run stats after the fact is a very poor policy on the part of C2 logic.
It would be nice to see C2 "get it right" on this one for us vendors that spend countless hours and monies here at this site trying to do good work.
I think that when a system is killed, any open trades, should automajically close at current or last market price. To convert the system to cash as Rick pointed out, is a very good way to handle the proper shut down of a vendors C2 system.
Then C2 should lock the stats right then and there over that many of days since inception.
This continued update on system stats on killed systems, that have open trades makes closed / killed systems totally worthless to everyone, the vendor, the public… everyone.
sounds exactly, right.
I did the same thing with my “Stocks Only” debacle-of-a-system - I let the system expire without closing open positions.
BUT…
One could argue that, as a responsible vendor, you alone are responsible for knowing that your system is going to end, and that you must take responsibility for closing out open positions before your system expires. Its not as if the system expired with no notice or warning.
That being said, I’m all for automatically going to cash and freezing stats when a system ends.
I did not really kill the system it just expired. I had plans on going to cash and did not watch it close enough. My responsibility and my fault.
Not only do I find it frustrating to have the stats run to the ground on a closed signal. I found it very aggravating to have Mathew ignore my repeated request with not even the courtesy of a response to my inquiries.
