Collective2 is a leading social trading website, one of the oldest. It works by publishing trading information moneytised as information advice into subscriptions. This way, the legal part is cleared because publishing information is a basic human right defened as a constitutive amendment in many country. So it becomes portofolio management with a twist.

Anyway, the trading signals can be generated automatically from numerous trading platforms, already TradeStation, NinjaTrader, Trader WorkStation (IB), MetaTrader 4
Sometimes the C2 connection is integrated and official, sometimes it's managed by a third party bridge, like this one http://algotrader.ninja

Guess what ? Sierra Chart is missing from the radar ! This should be fixed ;)
It must be emphasized that trading signals can be generated both from live or demo trading. So if Sierra had Collective2 support, it could be a great selling point for the data package http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php
which is tremendous good value and that traders would need to C2...
Of course the C2 connection would not be free but included with SC paid packages

The trading to C2 could be totally transparent and just linked to achieve a transparent transmission of orders. It does not need to create a new interface like the Ninja bridge I showed. This idea is pointless and Sierra amazing as it is. It would just need to apply new studies backing normal SC orders

Mention of importance
Licensing : The C2ATI is completely free for non-commercial private use (that is, for those trading their own accounts). If you are a broker or service provider who wishes to enable C2 AutoTrading for your own customers, please contact us.
As always, we are here to support your software development efforts. If possible, please post queries on our public C2 Forums, so that others can learn from your question (and our answer). If you prefer private queries, you can send an email to help@collective2.com


It should be noted that C2's staff are geeks so unlikely that a mess like IG would happen. Probably better communication, not disrespectful efforts for nothing

Please update if an agreement can be managed since it would be marvelous that Sierra at least with one offering, enters the social trading signals world
It would be much better if Sierra decides for an official support instead of it coming by a third party and missing on opportunity https://forums.collective2.com/t/sierra-chart-trading-platform/8906

I used to trade with C2 last year. very interesting investment platform from a traders' perspective.

as a user, I would also prefer that the C2 order execution would be relying on the the SC user experience I know, almost like I would not notice it at all... so just replicating the orders at C2 but without a new framework to work with, without changing habits, and most importantly, it would need to support any kind of trading, like demo trading but also LIVE trading.

I tried ZuluTrade, Tradency and before, Currensee. They were all relying on MetaTrader and targetting forex only, sometimes CFD. Collective 2 seems the only social trading to accept futures, forex, stocks and options trading as well as good quality retail platforms that are not MT4

Can the SC team comment if we are likely to get a C2 bridge in the future ? Your input is valuable. Otherwise I will seek to make it develop for a fee by a third party, but no paid licence (ongoing).

No this is not likely. We are quite busy the next couple of years improving Sierra Chart and adding features but not including this.

If anything we would develop the functionality that website offers within Sierra Chart. But we are not really sure what it is all about at this time. There is no need to provide any further information because it is not something we can pay any attention to now.

Sierra connects to IB TWS. IB connects to C2.

Hence, you could theoretically use IB's TWS as middleware to connect to C2.

Correct. I figured out I could use their BrokerTransmit feature which is compatible at a des FCM : AMP, Phillip Capital (NinjaTrader brokerage), GAIN Capital, etc

Actually, let's not mismatch things.

BrokerTransmit of C2 is only worth if you are able or want to trade a live account, then there is nothing to do, your live trades are automatically monitored cor the C2 model account.

However, most users only trade at C2 without a real account, on virtual money. In this very case, a Collective2 connection that from SC as a bridge to their API would definitely be needed...
