TOS System Report Available

We’ve added a new one-click report for systems that are Trades-Own-System (TOS) Certified.



You can find it at the FIND A SYSTEM menu (top menu bar) or reach it directly here:

We’ll also soon be adding the ability to search for TOS Systems using The Grid.

For such a great program, it’s a bit surprising there are so few participants.



I’m a bit curious as to how the “Return since creator started trading” is calculated. I’m guessing that some amount of commissions or autotrade fees are subtracted? I’m, actually, in the green since inception for both of my systems (ES Oscillation and YM Oscillation).



Both the "Return since creator started trading" and "$ at risk" numbers appear to be incorrect, and by a considerable margin.

Please be specific. If you prefer, send me an email at help at collective2.

Sure…



For ES Oscillation, the system equity was about $61,500 shortly after the system was TOS certified on January 5, 2012. This evening, the system equity is at nearly $71,000. That would be about a 15% gain since I started trading it. The TOS page shows only a 0.75% gain.



Also, assuming the current system equity of slightly shy of $71,000 is where the “$ at risk by creator” number comes from, that’s considerably higher than the $62,025 shown on the TOS page.



Second example… For YM Oscillation, the system equity was around $70,300 when it was TOS certified on April 5, 2012. System equity this evening is about $71,600, for a gain of about 1.8%. That’s considerably better than the 14.5% loss shown on the TOS page.



The TOS page also shows “$ at risk” at only $60,325. You’d have to go to the deepest depths of the system’s drawdown, about a month ago, to find equity that low, and it’s a lot less than the $71,600 the system has today.

Oh, my. You are correct. We’ll fix that and roll out the changes ASAP. Thanks, Jack!
