Worst Strategy Manager. He bet and place orders more than the capital required and when inquire about this in Instagram post, he said that he will block me if I post any of this situation and asked me to keep adding more capital for every draw down. He already created several strategies that ended with 100% drawdown and he keeps creating new strategies with new name. He just lives off of your subscription fee. Subscribe to this strategy if you want to see your hard earned money vanishing in few days. Run away from this.

What is your problem, why you always go against the trend. The option flow can't be considered for future trades.

Account crashed with in a week( 60k), no stop losses.

Overall, the strategy is good, but the drawdowns also high, due to that profits are erasing fast, if the strategy owner think about it and implement the stoploss approach, this will be going to be best strategy for Futures, No doubt as per my analysis. Definitely I will return back after watching the strategy performance for few more months. Am not in loss after subscribing to this strategy.

I subscribe to several C2 systems and this is the one I have the most confidence in. It is expensive, but well worth it. The strategy manager communicates well -- both in private messages and periodic subscriber announcements. Highly recommended.

Poor execution of the strategy. Lost almost 70% in 2 months time frame.

Uses higher Leverage than I am comfortable with. (Per statistics it is using average of over 10 times and max leverage over 30ish)

One of the worst traders I've followed on Collective2.
Even one star rating is too much.
Risk and Money-management are non-existant.
Once the strategy has a DD, the trader just adds more positions...
DD is at 48% now with one single trade, equals to 50K loss.
Don't believe what the first reviewer wrote, just look at the chart.
It's nuts to incrase the scaling to 200% with strategy

I would rate -ve if there is an option. Please stay away from all RC trades. They are not a professional traders at all (they claim that they are). They always go against the trend thinking that they are the market drivers and burnt 70% of my capital. He comes back asks us to add some capital by telling that mistake that he did, it will not repeat. Just one or two days later, it repeats again. This shows his trading skills are poor than a novice trader. There is no stop-loss for any trade he takes. The successful trades are like $11, $50, $60.. may be a one in $$$ followed by a loss in $$$$, this one trade eats up all your again + capital. Waste of time, he is making fools that he is creating a second source of income for everyone but he is using our money to practice his trading skills. Better stay away!

Terrible risk management. Does not trade with trends and swings most positions.

Trader is very responsive and knowledgeable. Communicates with subscribers often and gives updates on positions, profit targets and trade reasoning. Profitable trader.

Trader does not use stop losses. This is inherently dangerous, much more with oil futures. He just hopes for the best. When inquired, he does not response. I would stay away clearly.

SUBSCRIBE IF YOU WANT TO WATCH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY VANISH QUICKLY. WHILE IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT MARKET WILL ALWAYS NOT WORK AS PER ONE'S EXPECTATION, THIS STRATEGY HAS THE WORST MANAGEMENT, DOES NOT HAVE STOP-LOSS STRATEGY AND OR SENSE OF MARKET TREND. PROFITS ARE MINIMAL WHILE LOSSES ARE EXTREMELY HUGE.

THEY LURED PEOPLE IN BY SELECTIVELY SHOWING PROFITS IN TELEGRAM GROUP WHILE ACTUAL STRATEGY IS ALWAYS IN LOSSES. STAY AS FAR AWAY AS I CAN.

I would rate 0 Star if there was an option,

Doesn't appear to be managing stop losses very well and not paying enough attention. Losing lots of trades in march (-10%) while holding a position at big negative balance (-$5000). Started making profits initially but lost everything in less than a week. Look at the performance by yourself. The recent losses shows that this strategy is not working anymore and heading towards wiping out all the gains it had in Jan and Feb. The strategy manager appears to be taking trades against the trend instead of riding along the trend. That itself a recipe for disaster.

He also burnt the money on two of his futures strategies (RC 103 and RC104) and advised his subscribers to subscribe to this Forex strategy to recover losses. See for yourself how he will recover. Instead of recovering he will burn your additional capital money for this strategy as well. Run, Run, Run away from this.

This is my account performance. Will update it every few weeks.
Negative -$ 732, plus -$ 400 subscription fees paid. Total loss: - $ 1132

Horrible ridiculous trading skills.!!

not upto the expectations

The manager is very careless with his trades. He has been making decisions based on his sentiments and not on charts or trends. He shorts futures on small accounts and doesn't bother closing it if the trade is not going in the right direction. I have had 2 instances when IBKR closed shorts in my account because of margin requirements because he let the trade go too long!!! Requirement was 30k to start but his bets required much bigger capital. I have chosen to walk away from this after seeing multiple bad trades for 2 months and loosing 13k of my hard earned money. Please don't blindly sign up with this strategy. This guys doesn't know what he is doing!!!!

Awesome strategy - 80% success trades.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. ALL HIS STRATEGIES ARE SUFFERING HEAVY LOSSES. Account is 50% negative in less than two months. His positive trades have very minor profits and negative trades have HUGE HUGE losses. All members are frustrated with his strategy over the last year in C2 and in the private telegram channel where he only shares trades with profits and hides the trades with losses. PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HIS MESSAGES IN TELEGRAM CHANNEL. HE AND HIS TEAM KEEP TRICKING GULLIBLE SUBSCRIBERS TO JOIN.

Horrible ridiculous trading skills.!!
Two months into the plan & account is negative (10000) as of 03/01.

Pls DONT subscribe! Members lost all their $$ as these guys don’t know to trade & make empty promises. They do not have or respect stop loss. Check their trades.
Don’t even think of signing up. The loss just keeps on mounting. They keep on sending one way messages they expect it to reverse course So moronic to let a position spiral into thousands of loss and then expect to reverse course. He takes $30,$70 profits and closes and on other side he does not close till it has ran course into thousands of $$’s. Even kids trade better!!! All the members are frustrated with their trading for the last one year with C2 & outside of C2!! RUN with your money

I personally believe this guy doesn't have a strategy, he was riding the wave, doing blind day-trading like I did (amateur) and lost money. I suffered losses due to the strategy operator's laziness as he was relying on auto-pilot in this volatile market. His results speak for themselves. He was buying at peaks and selling at bottoms, compare his position entries to TESLA chart, you will see yourself. Keep your money with you and don't let a lazy person burn your money for $80 per month + C2 monthly fees, you can burn it yourself better and you can let it out :)

This is my first Strategy even on this platform and I already lost $900 in one month. Mostly orders are buying at higher price and selling at lower price with Auto trade in this strategy.

Planning to switch to other one soon.

Thanks!

This strategy is not being maintained properly. Trades are open for too long. Losses are more and profitable trades are less. Trade manager seems not too serious about this plan

This is my account performance. Still negative after week 7 by 9.5K. Will update it every few weeks.

My portfolio gained more than 100% in the month of Jan, One of the smart trades I've met in my life

So far so good

The strategy is very bad. The manager does not respond to any queries. Lost more than 50% of capital in one month. He only posts the profit trades in telegram channel.

Best strategy on C2, assessment of risk/return ratio, consistent, robust, knowledgeable and honest leader. Highly recommend.

It is really doing good. I like the way they are investing in the Futures with a good plan.

Great strategy.

Great strategy.

If you’re looking for a consistent and drama-free portfolio then look no further than Blue Viper.

very poor management, drained all the money , very bad

The SuperProfit momentum trading model has been a very consistent profit generator for me. Profit range on average daily from $400 to $1,200 using 200%. Draw downs of concern are few and the trader manages the risk very well. Fits my comfort level unlike others C2 traders that I have tried, Well worth the monthly fee. Bravo! You might want to consider signing up with this SuperProfit money machine. The stats and the equity curve graph show the results. Beautiful upward smooth equity curve. :-)

This is the worst ever strategy you could find. Drained over 57%(drawdown) of total account of 30K in within a month. All 5 of his strategies of this strategy manager are in heavy loss. He only shows success in his telegram channel (broadcast type) tricking the gullible subscribers to join

The strategy manager did provide a free month right after I enrolled. The strategy was not for me

Very bad management. Doesn't manage stop loss & lost 40% of the account value on one trade. Keeps convincing the clientele that we need to wait & see results.

Some newbie operating this

WORST trader. I lost 12k (40% loss) within 1 month of using this trader's strategy. Stay away from this trader. There are plenty of very good strategies on collective2. Research and follow good strategies. I learnt my mistake very hard by following a bad trader.

Not a great strategy plan, too many losses than win

Poor performance

Doesn't appear to be managing stop losses very well. Losing lots of up and down swings while holding a position at big negative balance. Perhaps need to change to micro contracts until few profitable months so that averaging can be done. It us disheartening to sit in red even in 2nd month.

6 weeks in and the results are overwhelming. It will not always go like this, but it seems the manager understands what she is doing.

Aggressive contrarian trading style in daily futures contracts which is often profitable in the end BUT the strategies come with considerable large overnight or longer drawdowns. That was my experience. You must be considerably patient and control yourself during those nerve-racking spikes at times. Too much stress for me! If you are suited for the rock-n-roll trading gyrations, Trade Detector is eventually more often profitable and may be right for you. Good luck!

I had had high hopes for this strategy but have finally come to the realization after losing a great deal of money on many of these C2 strategies, that this concept just does not work and is very high risk. You do not know these people or their real intent or capability. I would have been better off losing money in this down market in a mutual fund.

Has many strategies all of them blow up

Negative gain Dec2022-Jan2023

The worst strategy. Big loss and the author did not respond

saw some good performance during 2020 but then it pretty much fell off after that.

Very Good!

Very Good!

Very Good!

Had lost everything ....
Why ? It works great at the beginning and then ....

Excellent results with low risks

Exceptional

Awesome strategy. Lots of wins and very few losses. Will continue to follow.

Great strategy with demonstrated returns and a very communicative manager!

good strategy

This strategy uses very low leverage. Low risk and steady gains.

There was great promise with Jim, and his strategy. I feel dupped, however.
It hasn't gone well at all as you can see from the serious draw-down for both his strategies.
Positives are that he used his own name; prior professional from ML--you don't see many on Collective2 using their own name.
He really should not be on Collective2 as an auto-trading service. He is trying to get subscribers, and this is not going well.
On several occasions, he has missed major market moves/action/events because he is not around, or golfing (he is retired)-do not auto-trade with him for this reason alone!!!
This is a timing strategy he created over many years. He tried 'selling' it to Hedge Funds, but they stated to him his strategy would fail and what he developed was not possible to achieve the returns he promotes, I think they were right, even though I think Jim thinks he can achieve them. He makes 'enhancements' after serious mistakes and failed trades. Ahhh, why so many enhancements, what can he possibly be doing, and 300 parameter and inputs to the formula--of course, he states it is all proprietary.
He honestly thinks he has found the holy grail.
Jim, spends 3 hours nightly crunching all the variables and inputs to come up with the next day's signals.
"My strategies take over 3 hours to calculate (218 Excel spread sheets) each evening"---wow!!!!
How did I get suckered into this nonsense, apparently a very sophisticated and time-consuming process, but he often will not place his own trade the next after all of this work. Again, no not auto-trade as he is very unreliable to even follow his own signals.
Be careful as he will send you continuously spreadsheet with all these brands new 'enhancements'-constantly tweaking; his yearly results are ridiculous and of course, & no-one can achieve what he is promoting. Professionals have told him this, and now he is on Collective2 willing to destroy your hard-earned money with no remorse.
This 'spreadsheet' seems to only serve the purpose as to pull in naive subscriber's (like myself). But we all know, disaster is lurking around the corner and these strategies all too often as we see on Collective2, hurt so many. They all blow up, they call it 'volatility'. In the beginning he didn't seem to have any problem promoting how great his strategy was performing. As predictable, of course, when his strategy suffered serious losses--the messaging and propaganda changed in his nightly updates. He quickly changed his promises and promotional garbage.
I hope he does well and will follow only peripherally.
I am hurt he banned me from posting/making comments in his activity/social feed for no reason-I was never harsh and asked legitimate questions. He is concerned his only subscriber might comment on the problems that have developed.
Lastly, Jim claims he is following both his strategies with $250,000 for each--that may be true. Perhaps, he needs to get his TOS certification, so subscribers know he is really following this 'hedge' fund quality signals as he says he is. Ultimately this is all on me, never follow anyone unless they have TOS and they are trading their own money. Don't follow anyone that has a spreadsheet that shows annual returns that you know, are simply impossible. It is just typically a means to lure you in!!
Bottom line, stay away!!

loser

Really awesome trader. Have had very good results so far. Definitely recommend.

Great so far. Excellent results. I can only do 10% scaling though or else my broker won't fill the sizing. Thanks!

Fantastic trader. Excellent gains so far. Highly recommend. Disciplined approach with stop losses. Helped me to recover big losses from many other C2 traders to date. Looking forward to gains in 2023 going forward with only the best C2 traders. No more bagholders on C2, who lose it all and more, and have fake results over the long term. Thank you!

good strategy for not losing your pants in a volatile market, lets you sleep at night.

Over the last 18+ months, I've lost 15%... Potentially worth holding onto longer term. Switched management shortly after I subscribed, which makes it difficult to continue holding (although the original manager is still in touch with the current manager, according to a conversation several months ago). Unsure whether it will ever return to its best years, but still seems to avoid massive losses ... Just not seeing the gains. Hmmmmmm..... I'm on the fence!

I subscribed to this strategy about a month ago. At that time it was ranked #15 in the C2 system and it is now at #1. First the positives. I doubt that there are many strategies on C2 that have a trade leader with the expertise and experience such as this one. I could be wrong on this but I did my homework on the creator and came away very impressed. The monthly subscription fee is relatively low compared to some others and he keeps the number of trades fairly low as well....at least not an exorbitant amount. The trades he does make are 75% profitable. He uses very little leverage and gets great returns. Over the 6 months this strategy has been active there has never been a month that was not profitable. As for the negative aspects, there have been a couple of periods where I was not comfortable with the drawdowns. Also, It is sometimes hard for me to get fills on some of the trades because I trade with less than the recommended capital and at a reduced scale but also because IBKR is unable to find shares available. Because of these negative issues I would give it a 4.5 rating....still an excellent score.

Absolute worst strategy on this site. Stay away.

Incurred 17% loss not including the $120 subscription every month. I will not recommend this strategy to anyone...bit is just a swing in the air

too soon to tell..price is right

With 5000 dollar to follow this stategy i am bleeding on commission. Thats why i stopt, but still i think you can make money with a substantial amount to follow The Momentum of Now.
I was just onlucky starting at the wrong moment when things got down

None

So far a positive review particularly in downside risk management.

When the market was good and predictable, this was doing amazing! Just like every other program.

Unfortunately, in this unpredictable market with social, political, and economic uncertainties, the algorithm just doesn't keep up and smooth out the rough spots to at least minimize losses.

.

Strategy developer seems to have changed many of his strategies., over the last week. Another futures developer that is about to crash and burn because the developer changes everything and seems to be experimenting, and with very little communication?? Be careful. Warnings and major red flags. It is not the same system, and he changed it-with little explanation or follow-up to the bad trades. Seems to be taking a lot more risk on. Very erratic trading and seems drastically different based on concerns derived from slippage and market orders. Sent a message prior stating if 'performance doesn't improve' he would soon 'shut the strategy down'. That is not a good, at least warning us. His LucidMNQSwing-you would think that he would be trading only MNQ contracts--today it traded an actual NQ contract causing a significant loss to the system. Trades prior all MNQ and then this week, it starts randomly trading NQ contracts. Then, he creates another strategy with no explanation and starts charging $300, we have seen this before. Time to jump off the train before he runs his strategies into the ground. Would be nice to get feedback from him, which might help, but this last 2 weeks, so different now. This could end badly. Developer needs to message the subscriber ASAP to provide great details to what is going on. I would love to think this strategy survives and does well for everyone, but look at some of the actual trades, particular his MNQ swing--not cool and dangerous to subscribers that weren't expecting to have such increased risk to switching to NQ contracts, that is someone that doesn't value his subscribers.

I have followed this strategy for 3 months now, and I am still don't feel fully confident about it. It seems Strategy Manager changes trading strategy every 2 weeks and is difficult to evaluate efficiency, besides the feeling of high risk involved by changing strategy without proper backtesting or confidence if it will work well. Sometimes I feel strategy has good entry points, but fail a lot to find the optimum exit points. Communication is poor, I wish he/she could improve it.

I'm pleased with the performance of the strategy for the month I've been subscribed to. The Strategy Manager sends out periodic communications and I think he is doing a good job with the strategy!

Badly manged tades

worst strategy... stay away from Karl Colin... he is crazy trader and doesn't about stop losses.
keeps adding on loosing positions. He ruins accounts and then come up with new strategy with new name.
I don't know why C2 don't ban him from putting strategy on their platform. Remember his name Karl Collin

Returns look good when you review the strategy but I didn’t get the same returns as I rarely got the fills for the orders by the brokerage - the strategy shorts micro caps that are hard to borrow. Strategy traded on choppy CPI day and lost heavily on both the long and short side!

Initially I thought he knows his game and he made good amount. But he has no plan in case his trade go against him. I lost more than 40-50K . please don't trade with him.

So far not good, can't handle bad markets apparently., but I'll wait, trusting the history (25% down atm)

Worst trader ever saw in C2, Stay away from this trader. very soon this SM will start new strategy with new name.. He did same thing so far 3-4 times.

without any risk control, any huge gains are just pure luck

this trader had a lucky start, however, he insisted to short the USD/JPY again when he almost blew up the first time, since then he had gone against the FED, JCB, big trend and leveraged to the neck but give up totally on his stops, praying the JCB would intervene again to save the trade. I had liquidated since he moved the stop second time...

Very good communication and haven't had a losing week yet. I highly recommend this strategy.

Very bad, no communication and very rare calls

Dont allow such badly maintained trade leaders. There shoudl be some deep level checking to allow such bad trade leaders. I was messaging him on what he want to do on the trades and he seems taking revenge on his subscribers. A totaal SHAM and SCAMster.

C2 team, please do enough checks to keep your reputation.

Really poor risk management. Lost $6.6k in few hours based on minimum suggested value of around $60k. Kept adding to losing position

ANY RISK MANAGEMENT

Total lack of control on his part, reckless, stay away at all costs from him. A complete amateur.

This is a diversified portfolio of algorithms trading futures. Good risk management, every trade has a stop loss, and all trades are closed by 4:00pm. These are mostly breakout systems, so they can get stopped out in a choppy market, but they are highly profitable when the market makes a big move. The developer is responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!

Got spanked today. The system kept averaging on a losing trade. Down $37,000 on one trade. This is the prescription for a blow up; The only reason I gave two stars is I have to take some responsibility for choosing it.

Terrible strategy. Appeared to be a skilled forex strategy when was up 200% and when stated past years results. Quickly discovered that trades are way oversized even with small account size 15k used/recommended, and trader users averaging down on losers which is in general bad trading unless trend is certain. Past results were likely falsified. Trader lost all gains quickly and more with several poor risk management trades. I was fortunate to realize poor skill and risk management was apparent and only lost 25k instead of my whole account. It's also believed that trader also posts false reviews to get customers as all he cares about is the fees, He couldn't care less about blowing up account. Congrats another C2 scam trader. Stay away from ARK anything.

I am loosing lot of money - Also, they randomly charge my credit card with sometimes 120$, sometimes $390

do not recommend

too many looses

Excellent trader and performance. Occasionally figures out way to adjust trade in the end to make it a winner, when things don’t go exactly as planned. Exceptional market knowledge.
