Collective2 · investment strategy
by Collective2
A momentum based strategy that takes position on Nasdaq futures. If you follow the simple rule of not overleveraging and sticking to the system, you will see significant appreciation of capital. Recommended capital allocation - about USD 50000 per contract. Maximum number of contract that model account trades at a given point in time will not exceed 2. Thanks for your attention Model account was rescaled to 100K end of April 2021. The rescaling does not affect any customer. System will always have maximum number contracts as 2.
Description from Collective2
of the return and risk figures:as the source publishes them
What $10,000 would have become, from the strategy's own published history, against the S&P 500 over the same dates. The basis is labelled.
Each rule is quoted word for word from the strategy's own documents.
“Maximum number of contract that model account trades at a given point in time will not exceed 2.”
“A momentum based strategy that takes position on Nasdaq futures.”
No published holdings for this strategy.
Fitted to 252 returns (hypothetical) from 2025-11-03 to 2026-10-20. An estimate, not holdings: it can't name stocks.
· : 0.32 · Too loose a fit for a verdict; shown as a guide.
Beta to the S&P 500: 1.76 (90%: 1.31 to 2.43)
Compares the stated rules with the holdings (or, where none are published, a mix estimated from returns), using tests fixed before any results were seen.
No holdings on file, so nothing to test.
Strategies that share its Futures label, from other sources first, strongest risk-adjusted return first.
