Hello,  
  
  
  
Do I have to build my own system to test the C2ATI API or is there a test system that I can subscribe to which sends random signals on a regular basis ?  
  
  
  
Thanks

The C2 Test System sends random signals every minute or so, across instrument classes. I am glad to say that it _underperforms_ most systems on the site.  
  
  
  
You can see it here:

Thanks Matthew just what I need, the history does not show much, maybe you are reseting it on regular basis ?

Correct. It gets reset every day. (Approximately as long as it takes for highly leveraged randomized trades to drive a hypothetical model account to zero!)

I’m using the Test system, but it doesn’t really generate signals, at least not when I’m trying to test!  
  
Description says it generates a signal every minute, but that’s not what I’m seeing. Am I doing something wrong?  
  
  
  
thanks,
