Matthew,  
  
  
  
How is it that [LINKSYSTEM\_30447064] sports a 380.4% Annual return (see Grid)? This stat seems to have been reported exorbitantly high for a very long time.  
  
  
  
My calculations come way short of this.  
  
  
  
Gilbert

Quite so, the Grid is wrong. If you look at the system description page in the stats it is 180.2%  
  
  
  
Another example of something fishy going on with The Grid is that my first system [LINKSYSTEM\_46561754] never appears in any Grid search, even if I select “All Systems” and filter by name. Granted, it is still very new but my other two systems do appear even though they’re even newer!  
  
  
  
Being a relatively new subscriber, and as a software engineer myself, I’d like to take this opportunity to say that on the whole I am very impressed with Collective 2 - it looks great, is structured very well, works well (most of the time!) and is a super idea.

The difference between returns is because one is compounded, the other is not.  
  
  
  
And to get on the grid a system must have had 6 trades.

Maybe I am wrong, but I do not see a 52-week, 380.4% "Annual return":

We are talking about the difference between the annualised return on the system page and the one in the grid, one is compounded, the other isn’t.

Ah, I see. Thx for the explanations.
