To "run a strategy" here on Collective2, you'll need to submit buy and sell signals. That means: when it's time to buy something, you need to tell us, "Buy now." When it's time to sell, you'll need to tell us, "Sell now."
In other words, at Collective2, you never post an imaginary track record, based on how you would-have (should-have... could-have) traded.* You actually have to tell us: "It is time to buy XXX now." Or: "Take a profit now on my position in YYY." The results of these real-time buy and sell signals are the track record we show to prospective subscribers.

Connect NinjaTrader7 (NT7):
- PlatformTransmit is only for Futures, Forex, and Stocks. Users cannot sync / trade options.
- PlatformTransmit is special NinjaTrader 7 script capable of reading any type of order from NinjaTrader 7 and posting it automatically into a C2 trading strategy which you manage. PlatformTransmit requires at least version NT7 7.0.1000.31.
Once you set up NinjaTrader 7, orders can be entered into your C2 system without logging into Collective2. In addition, you can use NinjaTrader's manual buy / sell order entry, or you can use NinjaTrader's automated strategies to enter new signals into C2.
Important
You can connect only one NinjaTrader 7 Account (sim or live) to one Collective2 Strategy at this time.
