If you want to avoid losing your money in a crash like the one Ark 1 experienced in the image below you should consider the following steps.
1. Check for Real Trades
Some strategies on collective2 are built purely on hypothetical data. Others are built on actual trade data compiled from the trade leader’s account and/or subscribers. It may seem like simulated data is enough. In some cases it is. However, there are some significant difference. If you don’t know how to tell if simulated data is reliable, then I would disregard all trades that don’t have AutoTrade history as demonstrated in the images below.
2. Check For Too Much Leverage
It has become very easy to check for leverage use on collective2. I am very happy about that. Per the screenshot below you want to be checking that there are not massive spikes in leverage use and that the overall leverage use isn’t excessive.
