System vendor is professional and responsive. Nearly every the vendor sends out a diagnostic report on the system's performance. This is a fine system, but while much thought has apparently been put into trade entries, the exits (and stops) are a different matter. We'll see how it performs going forward, but perhaps nearly tripling the subscription price in May was premature.
when almost all C2 systems fail, it is something to see one persist. And with decent stats. (1.6 PF, 1.7 Sharpe, 0.53 APD). [Still worried about a 250% realism, as there is something continuously fishy that C2 does not correct it. Maybe due to a rescaling???] Anyway, the system's performance may not continue, but so far, so good - Index
It is a disaster. Simply adds to losing positions in higher and higher quantities, this is all there is to this "system".
Due to this "strategy" you can expect small wins because then the position size is small and big losers.
Also note that the size limit of C2 does not work correctly. Due to the individual trades and that the system traded multiple instruments, it opened significantly more than my limit size.
Also dont believe that the system developer writes that he adapted his behavior based on previous feedback. It is still the same martingale system.
- BTW, you can with martingale only if you have unlimited money.. - but if you have unlimited money, why would you trade shadowbanker?
I've been subscribed to the EXLENCE system for 4 1/2 months now and have been consistently impressed. I've seen profits far beyond expectation and had problems only when I was impatient and didn't leave trades alone. The author of the system was very helpful when I was starting and answered each question asked. Patience is required, but following the system is otherwise straightforward. My only concern has been letting losers run to the stops, but I've found when I did not that I often stopped out just as the market turned up and missed a big winner.
Frankly, I just wish I had started trading with this system earlier. Wouldn't mind questions from other traders, and couldn't be happier with the results I've experienced and the treatment I've received.
Gulf Stream SE has been a great system. The vendors answer questions quickly and their approach results in low draw down and good returns. I rate other systems in relation to this one. I just hope that the returns from earlier will make an appearance again or that another Gulf Stream system is created.
"we just manually suspend our system to catch better moment for covering our shorts". This does not make any sense. You are selling here a mechanical systems. Your subscribers decided to trade it based also on backtests you provided. How could you decide to manually intervene for no apparent reason? Is this something you plan to do again in the future?
Apparently human intervention of signals contradict the description "a completely TA indicator based computer program". The vendor needs to stop using recent curve fitting result to give people the illusion all the previous problem has been resolved. In reality, it only aggravates the problem by incurring recency bias. The system has some merits. High drawdown is not the reason for difficulty in trading, but unpredictability of the system is.
ETF timer is a well managed, outstanding system with an excellent track record. You are provided with daily updates and your questions are answered within minutes!
A classic lesson that curve fitting does not work in real-life trading. This system is very difficult to trade, as it can stay in the wrong direction for a very long time based on recent curve fitting result, keep using margin hoping to recover loss instead of going with the trend. The vendor is very honest but is working too hard to release NEW re-optimized version into mvp-3 based on recent data whenever large DD happens. This makes C2 historical live records meaningless, no matter how good it looks. Subscribers should not be treated as guinea pigs of the NEW release. The vendor should start a different C2 system to test new system for at least 6 months before having subscribers test it using real money.
One of the best systems I ever came across, trading S&P E-minis.
Has multiple edges over the market and most other systems.
Profit factor (historical) 2.18 - excellent.
Sharpe ratio : 2.72 - excellent
53.5 winning trades, trading only in favorable market conditions, another edge over the market and most other systems.
Strict stop loss ($500 per contract) and strong trade management.
Flat at the end of the day.
As a result 7+ profitable years in a row, annual average return 139%.
Much lower and less frequent drawdowns than most systems: 20.75% of initial equity, 6.43% of total equity.
I strongly believe 25k alpha portfolio and its 3 siblings: 15k alpha, 15k beta, and 50k alpha portfolios are going to be big winners on C2.
Risky and dangerous system, holds 3 index contracts overnight, and over the weekends. Lost almost 7K in last 5 trading days taking large losses on short trades and quicly entering another short 3 times in a row during very strong last week rally giving up all gains since inception.
System is supposed to smooth equity curve of Gen 2 however outweights it in contract size almost 3:1.
The sleep easy system has an uncanny ability to time the market - in reverse. They just seem to have gotten the SSO and SDS symbols switched late in April this year.
Vendor is a nice guy but this system doesn't seem to be working. He has other systems, namely his TUS system that he should be using on C2 - this has been performing well.
This system make turn around but at this point, it's not worth following IMHO
Kept averaging the loosing position. Took heavy loss in the account. I told him to have stop loss on each trade last month but he ignore my suggestion. Stay away from this guy!
I can't believe that as of today I am the only subscriber to this great system. Come on, people, take a look around! The system works like a charm, following its premises even when it surprisingly dipped 24% immediately after opening to subscriptions. It kept on hitting, and now (mid-July) it's on a roll that's will end as system returns to its historic average gains. Profitable, consistent, reasonable, predictable. What else do you want?
No this system is not out of business. In fact there were 3 trades yesterday and one today. (New signals only occur on weekends.)
Performance is another matter. Since it's only a weekly system, it's too soon to really judge. But C2 requires me to enter a rating, so I'll give it 2 stars.
