FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
General
Q: When the client opens an account, is T2/K.E.G. investing the money for the client?
A: No we do not invest for the client. The strategies that you lease, trade your account on your behalf. The client’s money is deposited into their own account held by the brokerage firm (ODL Securities.). We do not have access to any of the client’s funds. The client can either add or withdraw money from their accounts at any time.
Q: If our strategies are so profitable, why are we leasing them to the public?
A: Why wouldn’t we? It’s in everyone’s best interest to make our product available.
Q: Do we offer a demo to try out our strategies?
A: We make available results from a “Live” account with real money. We have found that there is no substitute for trading in real market conditions with real money.
Q: How long does it take in order to start trading your strategies?
A: Leasing a strategy takes 1 minute. Opening an account at ODL Securities takes 5 minutes. Funding your account usually takes 1 day. So conservatively speaking, expect to be trading in 2-3 business days.
Q: Is it confusing or difficult once the client begins trading?
A: As soon as the account is opened, we will provide you with unmatched customer service. Once your account is open, trading is automated 24 hours/day and your computer doesn’t even need to be on for trading to occur. You simply set your position size, and the system does the rest. Customer service is available any time the market is open Sunday 5 PM EST till Friday 5 PM EST.

Q: On some strategies the percentage of trades that are profitable is 50%; that seems low?
A: When we designed these strategies we used the model of being the “House” at the casino. Casinos make billions of dollars with a statistical advantage of 2-4%. The math is too complicated to explain here, but let me give you an example: If you are right only 30% of the time and make $10.00 when you are correct and lose $1.00 when you are incorrect, even though you are right only 3 times out of 10 you will still make a lot of money.
Q: Are our results based on real or hypothetical results?
A: On our website the results posted on the graphs are back tested and forward tested. That means that they were built with historical results and validated with a live account. We have results beginning in May that show the profit and loss of every trade executed in a live account. The results are posted on our website under “Real Money Results.
