NeoTrader

I have only good things to say about neotrader. At the time of review I've been with him for a month and his strategy is less than 6 months old. His trading is very professional, well controlled, entries are clean and exits too, stops are in place and its always easy to understand why he's placed a trade. He also communicates well. Trading European indexes, he also brings an interesting variation to other systems here on C2. I highly recommend him. Well done !

Zip4x

This strategy may have success in the past but I am doubtful that they will continue to do well in the future since they don't have a good stop loss strategy in place. Biggest disadvantage with this strategy in my opinion is large draw down that often results in with no other options but to hold on to the positions with a risk of digging even deeper hole. They are not very responsive either when you ask questions.

Wugot

nice short-term trading moves but once in a while it gets caught in a bad intermediate-term trending move and we all have to fasten our seat belts

Trading Volatility 1

First trade n lost $10,200 in less than 24 hours. Figure out if you want to take this strategy. I'm out. Of course I choose this strategy because the past 3 consecutive trades were winning trades before I join this program.

ES ST IT

This strategy may have done decently well in the past which resulted in a lot of new sign ups but recent calls are yielding big losses as far as I can see.

AT Pro

This strategy trades futures that other strategies don't trade and as such is a very good means of diversification. The owner has a long track record, trades his own money and expect to stay with him for the long term. I wish he would trade just a little more, as there sometimes were 2 weeks of a blank and then a batch of trades. That kind of surprised me. But well his record is good and he trades his own money... One thing he does really really well is exits. He is excellent with his exits. Both for the winners, and also for the losers. Clearly one can see he's got skill.

SPY Test System

Subscribed a few weeks ago and have been very happy with the results. The developers strategy has been well developed for this strategy to allow healthy gains and to mitigate losses

SR 22 Futures

Results have been mixed since subscribing. Has a good history but does not seem as focused on the system right now. Hope trading gets back on track. I know day trading is difficult.

SystematicBlue SP500

Seems to be a solid, robust and well thought-out system, with good live results and the encouragement of solid back-tested results as well. Proprietor's supporting documentation and other articles (ask him for these) are second to none, as is his helpful and honest support. For example after the recent strong system performance, he was quick to remind followers of the potential for draw-downs as well and to encourage prudent allocations. First class system and a credit to the Collective2 Community.

360TradingView Options

I have been working with 360Tradingview since the past 1 year and couldn't have found a better partner to trade with. Besides having the knowledge and skills that are required for trading, Murtuza is extremely careful with how he invests and how much he invests with. This shows the maturity of the trader who doesn't get greedy and keeps booking small profits and stays grounded.

SR 22 Futures

Solid system so far, the owner replies quickly and is very active on his strategy. A good variation to my other strategies. The fact that this is daytrading means the returns should be steady provided the owner remains focused and disciplined. So far he has proved excellent in this regard. He is active most days. He places stops methodically and systematically and one can tell he is in front of his screen. Well done.

Test1966ZB

My english its not so well but ican tell you that Gc gold glitters its avery good trader. He trade very carefully and safely you can see that he doesnt make alot of trade But for me its very important that when he start atrade he dont change the stop loss that he decided before start the trade and when he think that the trade his working he change the stop to the start of the trade very good trader

Carma Stocks

The best of a number of good mean reversal systems on Collective. Helpful back testing results available. Low stress, consistent returns (especially considering Collective fees have a higher impact on the relatively small portfolio size as currently traded). System Proprietor a delight to deal with.

YZ income fund

Too early to say how this performs with my trading (not sure why C2 asks for reviews on day 10, should be day 100). Trader is very responsive to emails

76West

A good system, producing steady results. The system owner appears very professional and disciplined. One trade had a stop missed by the system... This is where the owner loses a star because she didn't spot it until the trade went significantly the wrong way... These things happen on C2 and it's still a great platform. And this strategy one I like and will keep. Just monitor your stops and contact the owner ASAP if you see any discrepancy to her normal trading style.

ASCENDANT TY STATIC

Great system, does swing trades and intra-day trades. Ascendant is very customer service-oriented and communicative in keeping their subscriber base informed. Newcomers need to understand that the Ascendant systems require patience at times. As long as you realize that generally speaking, this is a marathon and not a sprint, then you will realize that these systems are gems in your portfolio.

VIX TrendFollower

This system keeps trades for a few days, and its success depends on the ability of the owner to predict whether the markets would go up or down during that time. He uses the VIX and VXX for that matter, and seems to have a good anticipation of market movements. He is disciplined and active, stops are placed systematically. This strategy is potentially an excellent diversification tool to a portfolio, and to the owner's other strategy, Vix Day Trader, which I also run. The only reason I don't give 4 stars is I've only had it for 3 weeks... difficult to know whether performance will be kept over time. But I'm comfortable with the owner and see this as a long term winner. I suggest C2 should survey us a few months after we are on a product, not a few days...

ST restart Aug17

I subscribed to the 14days free trial....And there was no single trade in this periode. If the system only trades at a very low frequenty .... give a longer periode of free trial periode please.

#NordicC2 / ES day 2

After monitoring a live trade I concluded that this style of trading system takes on more risk than I'm willing to accept. A stop was placed 12 points from entry while a limit order was in place for a 3 point target. When price went against the trade, the position size was doubled. Price eventually returned to a point close to break even and the trade was exited. On the plus side, the system developer will answer any question you may have and supply some back-test results. Since there seems to be discretionary elements to the system, the back tested results are a very rough fit to the live results. In conclusion, there are not enough trades yet to meaningfully evaluate this system. Specifically, it will be interesting to see the types and severity of draw-downs that are experienced.

SystematicBlue SP500

I like this system. It doesn't scale in and looks like a robust system for the long-term. Developer is also very diligent and has written documentation on how to compare other systems at C2 which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. A healthy, humble respect for the market is what I sense here with this system, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

9900 Options

A strategy for the folks willing to take high risks and rather large draw-downs which happens from time to time. Though the reason I now unsubscribe from this Strategy is the forum where the manager expresses his opinion. Normally that could be a good thing, apart from the fact that he express 2 categories of people that dare to comment of his postings. We are either lovers of haters of his strategy - and this is just too much for my taste. I´d like to express my opinion without beeing labeled as a "hater" So I labelled this with 3 stars, could have been a 4 if the manager were a bit more friendly and less arrogant.

ST restart Aug17

This is my 2nd go round with Strategic Trading, and I am happy I returned. After every conversation with Rudy my impression is Rudy cares deeply about Strategic Trading, and making his subscribers money. There have been periods where it seemed a position could have been opened, and wasn't. Stay cool young man, there is a reason. Besides, if we were such "great" traders then why are we here ??? So, I say, Relax, and trust Rudy. I am very comfortable being a part of Strategic Trading, and I think you will too ! Take care all !

VolatilityTrader

So far so good. Like the short time frame of that strategy. There were a couple of hickups in the beginning, but recovery was fast. The strategy is not for everybody, but actually is less riskier if used properly. Sometimes I add more protection to shorts by changing them to verticals. Will stick to it for a while. This strategy fits my trading style pretty good. You don't have to watch it every day, maybe 2-3 times per week.

ASCENDANT VX AUTO

This is system is unique especially in regards to the instrument that it trades and is a great complement to any diversified portfolio. The trade placements have been very nimble with defined targets and stops. The trades have been very nimble and artful. I have been interested in such a system for years and I am excited and grateful to have the opportunity to participate in this. Thank you to the folks at Ascendant.

VIX DayTrader 1

I am very pleased with VIx DayTrader, which I've been autotrading for more than a month. Typically, I will not subscribe to a system with less than 2 years' C2 trading record. However, between the trader's interview with Mathew Klein, and his backtesting which he provided me, and my email chats with him, and the similarity of results between the backtesting and the C2 performance, I became convinced. For the most part, the system only day trades, which helps to use the "leftover margin" in my IB account. However, you need to be careful not to over-leverage, because drawdowns can be brisk, which would affect the funds available to trade whatever other systems you are trading. In addition, when needed, the account will remain open over night. (If the developer changes this, a note to that effect would be nice) Thus far, the results are brilliant, James is a great communicator, & the autotrading has proceeded without a hitch. My only caveat is that you need to be thoroughly convinced for yourself, and prepare yourself to accept the drawdowns, especially if you psycho-check your account all the time. And, in case I wasn't clear -- I am very happy with Vix DayTrader.
