C2 Score: 840
What is the C2 Score?
Collective2 rates every trading advisor in its database and assigns a score between 100 and 1000.
In general, a rating above 500 is good. A rating above 700 is excellent.
Collective2 Ratings are recalculated daily based on the entire performance history in our database. The exact formula we use is proprietary, but there are several key variables that go into the Collective2 Rating.
One of the most important factors is the length of time we have been able to observe the performance of the trader.
Another key factor is the amount by which the trader over-performs or under-performs the S&P 500 index.
Finally, the choppiness of the trader's results is taken into account. Certainly a more consistent trader will be rated more highly than a trader with erratic results.
System creator requested that closed trades data below be delayed by six days.

Close after 18 weeks in short position, moving to long
Our goals are simply to beat the SP500 market index with minimal additional trading risk. Our general strategy is to hold a long position when the market is climbing and to hold a short position when the market is declining. Our system performs well when the market decidedly moves in one direction for a long duration. Drops generally occur when the market is volatile and sideways. Our system is not fit for hitting a quick home run. Zig Zag North works well for patient investors who invest for the long run. Read our site http://www.zigzagnorth.com for detailed information.
