Trades in your own account
Your account. Your positions.
How it works, simplified. Execution prices and results can differ from the strategy’s record.
01 You choose the strategy.
02 You set the trade size.
03 Your broker holds your funds.
The setup
A few decisions. Then the trades follow.
01
Find your strategy.
Explore trading styles, instruments, and track records. Look beyond returns: consider drawdowns, capital requirements, and the risks you’re prepared to take.
Use a supported brokerage account with the permissions and capital the strategy needs. Choose your trade size and review the required disclosures before you activate AutoTrading.
Once enabled, AutoTrading sends the strategy’s orders to your broker. You don’t have to enter each trade yourself. Keep monitoring your account and settings along the way.
Automation, not a hands-off guarantee.
Your decisions still matter
Automate the trades. Not your judgment.
Let AutoTrading handle order entry. Keep the decisions about your account where they belong: with you.
Scale a strategy’s trades up or down and set quantity limits. Sizing changes both your exposure and your results; smaller isn’t the same as risk-free.
02
Follow more than one strategy.
Build a mix of strategies in a supported account. Consider their combined capital needs and overlapping positions, not just each strategy on its own.
03
See what’s happening.
Monitor orders, positions, and profit and loss. AutoSync compares your account with your chosen strategies and settings, and can place orders to bring positions into line. It does not eliminate execution or technology risk.
04
Change course when you need to.
You can change settings or stop AutoTrading. Don’t assume stopping closes existing positions: review your account and any orders that remain. Stop-loss orders may not limit losses in all market conditions.
A few practical details
Before you switch it on.
Do I send my money to Collective2?
No. Your trading funds remain in your brokerage account. Collective2 provides the connection between the strategy you follow and your supported broker.
What can I trade?
Strategies on Collective2 trade stocks, options, futures, and forex. What you can AutoTrade depends on the strategy, your broker, and your account permissions. Check broker compatibility before you subscribe.
What does it cost?
Consider the strategy’s subscription fee, your Collective2 AutoTrading plan, and your broker’s commissions and other charges. See current plans and pricing; check each strategy for its subscription price.
Will my results match the track record?
Not necessarily. Strategy records are hypothetical, and actual results can differ because of execution prices, timing, trade sizing, fees, and other factors. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Read about performance and risk.
