I have a strategy as linked here: https://collective2.com/details/123937705.
To place trades I just enter an order in my real brokerage account, but I am confused what value an AutoTrader would be using say they scale at 100%.
For example
The real IRA account value is currently $140,500.
The C2 Strategy page shows equity of $137,125.
The C2 API shows system equity of $148,635 as shown below.
I know that if I buy 100 shares and a subscriber autotrades at 100% they too will buy 100 shares. My confusion though comes into play with how are subscribers seeing the system equity when they start to autotrade. Do they get shown the $137K or the $148K?

FOLLOW UP FINDINGS
If I try to AutoTrade my own strategy it doesn’t seem to actually show anything for the strategy amount on the set scaling screen. However, on the second image below it does seem to show a number for Strategy Model Account. Finally on the third shot below it shows the default version of the equity curve on the strategy page.
- AutoTrade dashboard shows $146,500
- API currently responds with $148,666
- Strategy Equity on page for typical commissions is $137,000
- Per the fourth screenshot it shows the strategy size if I simulate rather than AutoTrade. Here it shows $146,510
- Actual Account Value is $140,500 (I know this isn’t directly relevant, but I want to keep this close to what subscribers are going to use to scale.
I paid $49 to get the AutoTrade plan and see the AutoTrade page “Strategy Model Account” value. But it seems that if I go through the Simulate feature I get a good gauge. I am still unclear though on why the API and the AutoTrade and Simulate values are not the same. @MatthewKlein or support do you know?
