Hi @GokuBlack ,
Your post sparked some curiosity in me and I would like to understand more about the C2 Star certification and I have a few questions that I would like to clarify:
1- What’s the minimum system age to be certified?
2- If my account has 30.000USD in stocks and 20.000USD in cash, for the closed trade metric, what is the value used, 30.000USD or 50.000USD?
a. If it is 50.000USD it means that if I close a stock position worth 500USD, I am closing 1%? Or because C2 considers 50% margin usage I am only closing 0,5%?
b. If my strategy is younger than 60 days I need to close positions with at least 2.500USD value? Or 5.000USD if considering 50% margin usage?
3- For the open loss metrics, this is for total account value (stock + cash) or by position?
a. If I have 30.000USD in stocks and 20.000USd in cash the denominator will be 30.000USD or 20.000USD?
b. Can I have loss in a position greater than 5% as long as the sum of my open positions do not represent more than 5% of my equity?
4- The maximum equity of drawdown (5.000USD) it is valid only for each period of C2 Star certification? If I have lost the C2 Star certification today because of this criteria, and all the other parameters are alright, can I get certified again tomorrow?
5- Do we have any kind of Dashboard to follow how is our strategy doing regarding the C2 Star certification program?
