I kind of get your idea but as mentioned by other, check the CSV or even faster look at the individual drawdown per trade in teh “Trading record”. Any big numbers there is a red flag.
The system you refer too has 3k of equity, I fundamentally agree thats an amount easily recouped by fees if it is a temporary high flying system.
It looks like C2 and Matthew Kline just added a new and an awesome element of TRANSPARENCY to the systems. Not sure if I had not noticed this before myself or if it is indeed completely new but you can now see a QUESTION MARK ("?") by putting your mouse both over the DD and P/L columns on the front page of each system and if you CLICK on it (without having to open up the “Download CSV” link), you can truly see how much RISK a system had to take in order to get whatever gain or loss, as well as the amount of commission the system typically would have to pay to achieve those results. Zip4x, for example in some cases, is “doubling down” multiple times and would be paying almost $1K in commissions and experiencing risk of 100k and beyond just to achieve whatever results before closing out of a trade . Matthew and C2 thank you guys so much for this.
The extra info you get by clicking on DD and P/L columns isn’t new, but yes it’s helpful. I’d still like to see some indication of the leverage variation used by systems. Risky systems like martingale systems tend to suddenly leverage up to extreme levels as they add to losers and I don’t know of a way to easily see that in the C2 data.
