Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started

What is Collective2 and how does auto-trading work?

Collective2 is an independent platform that connects strategy providers (like us) with investors. When you subscribe to the Picasso M1 strategy on Collective2, you link your brokerage account using their AutoTrade feature. Every time the strategy places a trade, the exact same trade is automatically executed in your account. You don't have to watch the market or enter orders manually.

Do I need to watch the market or do anything day-to-day?

No. With auto-trading via Collective2, the strategy runs entirely on its own. Trades are executed automatically during market hours. You can check in as often or as rarely as you like.

How much money do I need to start?

Collective2 doesn't set a minimum, but we recommend having at least $5,000–$10,000 allocated so the position sizes are meaningful. The $100/month subscription fee is separate from your trading capital.

What's the difference between the website results and Collective2 results?

The performance data shown on this website comes from our live trading account, which has been running since the strategy launched. The Collective2 version was set up later, so it has a shorter track record — but both follow the identical Picasso M1 rules.

Can I try it before committing to auto-trading?

Yes. Subscribe for free to get the top 2 daily picks by email. Use a paper trading account to simulate the strategy without real money. Once you're comfortable with how it trades, you can move to auto-trading on Collective2.

What is the Picasso M1 strategy?

Picasso M1 is a systematic, rules-based strategy that selects stocks based on price momentum, volatility, and other quantitative factors. It rotates a small number of high-conviction positions rather than holding a large diversified portfolio. The strategy has been backtested since 2023 and has been running live since.

Is this financial advice?

No. This is educational trading analysis only. Markets involve substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are responsible for your own investment decisions.

Can I cancel my Collective2 subscription?

Yes. You can cancel anytime through Collective2 with no long-term commitment. The free simulation (daily email picks) is also cancellable at any time.
