Can I AutoTrade any C2 system?
Yes. Any system on C2 can be AutoTraded. The
trading system vendor does not need to do anything special. In
fact, he doesn't even need to know that you are Autotrading
the system.
What
account size do I need?
One of the cool things about AutoTrading is
that you can specify how many dollars to allocate to each
trading system. So, for example, if you only want to risk
$15,000 on TRENDSETTER, then you can tell us that, and the
trades placed in your real-life brokerage account will be
"scaled" automatically.
Do I need
to leave my computer on? Do I need an always-on Internet
connection?
As of C2 AutoTrade Generation 2, all
AutoTrading is "server based." That means you simply
set up your AutoTrading here at C2, and then we take care of
everything else. There's no need to run any software on your
computer or have your Internet connection turned on. (If you
want to use one of our Generation 1 brokers, such as
Interactive Brokers or MB Trading, then this does not apply.)
How much
does AutoTrading cost?
You simply pay your regular broker
commission for any trade that gets executed by C2. Then,
depending on which broker you use, and the type of instrument
you are trading, there may be a small AutoTrade fee. Typically
this is 1 pip for forex, $1.99 for futures, and $0 (that is,
free) for stocks or options.
I want to
"practice" before risking real money.
That's fine. Several brokers offer
"simulation" or "demo" trading. This
allows you to sign up for a broker account that looks and
feels exactly like a real account, but instead of funding the
account with real money, you will be given some amount of
imaginary dollars. You can set up AutoTrading here at C2 using
one of these demo accounts. When you're satisfied with
AutoTrading, you can open a real live trading account. By the
way, using demo accounts is absolutely free -- neither the
broker nor we charge any fees. Currently, demo accounts are
available at FXCM (for forex trading), IFX (for Forex), and Open E Cry (for
futures trading).
