You can only see how many autotrading user a strategy has by counting trade executions in account extracts ---

Good question. Since I am new here. I would like to have an idea on how many real world accounts are following a strategy and that is a proven strategy with real funds ---

This is a good question… C2 is not as transparent as you wish they were. ---

You can estimate $$ and subscribers following a strategy by using the autotrade data. 1. Go to a strategy. 2. Click “Show AutoTrade data” above the list of trades. If the link doesn’t exist the strategy doesn’t really have subscribers. 3. There will be a little orange ^ icon next to trades with subscribers autotrading them. 4. Click the icon to see the details of those autotrading. Copy/paste into a spreadsheet to help you calculate how much $$ is being autotraded. Unfortunately each line in the autotrading detail corresponds to an execution not a subscriber (some subscribers might have multiple executions). So although you can see about how much $$ is being autotraded with the strategy, which makes it easy to compare systems, you can’t really tell how many people are following it. You can make an estimate though (which is probably good enough). ---

There is no such thing as a proven strategy. One must prove their strategy daily.
