The opinions expressed in these forums do not represent those of C2, and any discussion of profit/loss is not indicative of future performance or success. There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read, understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
On your system’s page it says, and I quote:
“The largest peak-to-valley historical drawdown of the Model Account was 100.0% and occurred between 2022-07-22 and 2022-07-22. In terms of dollars, the largest peak-to-valley drawdown of the Model Account was $27,719.”
Are you saying that these numbers are not accurate?
I am not judging you or C2, I just want to understand.
No not correct my options spread was out of the money most of the time, I don’t remember how much I paid for it but I believe it was around 80-90k in total.
So if my position as a spread were to go against me and got a draw down of 70% I would be down 56-63k much bigger than 27k.
I must admit that it is not easy to calculate the max drawdown of your bear call spread positions, because you always have two positions at the same time (not to mention your EUR/USD trades), and these positions greatly offset each other.
And since your maximum loss is the difference between the strike prices of your calls minus the net premium received, understanding these rather large drawdowns becomes a challenge.
Anyway, congratulations, you are now back in the game, plus your option system is number one on the Grid:
SPY is now trying to break the 400 resistance…
The breakout was completed yesterday, as expected. It was followed by a rather scary pullback inside the breakout line - a sure sign that the “smart” money was trying to shake out the weak hands - and then the SPY resumed its uptrend (current price is 404).
Next probable target is in the 409-410 area, according to my calculation.
Anyway, it was just a small technical analysis opinion, hope you guys are on the right side of that move.
(Update: Target was reached 3 hours later)
Wrong analysis. Tank coming in my opinion.
There is no such thing as a “wrong analysis”, it all depends on your time frame (1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 1H, 4H, daily, weekly, etc…), your trading style (scalping, day-trading, swing trading, long-term trading) and your holding period (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades).
In this case and as specified above, it was a very-short term trade (entry at 400, exit a 409) that lasted less than a day.
That comment is meaningless unless we know your time frame and your entry point, at the very least.
A market can be up on the 5 min chart, down on the 1H, up on the daily , down on the weekly chart and trending up on the monthly chart, at the SAME time.
the 100% drawdown and 500x leverage are still wrong 
Please contact the help desk and let them know specifically what you think is wrong. I don’t see anything obviously incorrect about your stats.
