Waste of time
Waste of time. There is no way you can make $ with 6500 margins unless your account size is 100000-150000 (which comes with an extra fee). Some brokers charge as low as 250-500 margins for Russell 2000 and SP. I trade myself with Tradovate super easy to average and normal platform with real time data. C2 on top of charging all these fees upon the fees not even providing fast platform and real time data. Not recommended, for investors with 10-20k equity its pennying or blowing up. For traders with 6,5k margins, its a waste of time, on top of the monthly fees, they take 50% cut.

Sigh. Review written by a person who wants to be a "Strategy Manager" on C2 (that is, he wants to issue trade signals for investors to follow). He's complaining that, when C2 calculates trading results, we assume that the brokerage accounts following his trades must use reasonable "margin amounts." Why do we do this? Because our customers use brokers where these trading margins are required. In other words, we actually report the results that a real customer would get. Sadly, there are always a few wannabe Strategy Developers like this -- "amazing" traders who don't like when C2 reports results conservatively. Sure, sure, they're amazing traders and would be hedge fund superstars... if only we reported their results the way they want them to be reported.
