THE SUBSCRIBER PERSPECTIVE
Strategy reviews
Real experiences. In subscribers' own words.
Read what worked, what didn't, and what it was like to follow a strategy.
TSX Mini
I'm surprised there hasn't been any reviews of this system yet. I have followed it over 5 months and am impressed with the steady rise in equity and new highs. C2 history approaching 2 years. System has nicely rebounded to past drawdowns. Developer provides stable management in his use of stops and targets. Well worth trying.
Discontinued, please see new system
So far the previous reviewer has been correct on the large draw down part which all subscribers are experiencing. I rated 2 stars to reflect the current performance and I'm sure other subscribers are anxiously waiting for the other part which is the great gain and will give it 5 stars rating when it arrives. Hanging in tight folks, better days are ahead of us, I hope.
Triple Play
System owner hasn't logged in since Thursday. Drawdown continues. I sure hope we're not on our own.
Prudentius Praemium FX
The best thing about this system is the revenue it generates to the vendor. No C2 login since August, no word to subscribers. Lack of professionalism and discipline, incompatible to operate in an environment such as C2. Add bad trading to it and the result is 0 stars.

Going great....then all of a sudden it's like this system has just fallen asleep letting losses keep growing.
Butterfly 100 Stocks
I've autotraded this system over the past month within my Interactive Brokers account using Trader68. My executions have matched what is shown on the web site, so I've made money so far without suffering any signifcant drawdowns. I like the fact that the return has been similar to the S&P but with less volatility (since it is usually only partially invested). If this performance keep up I'll be changing my rating to 5 stars.

Gotta have balls of steel to trade this. Doesn't look like a sensible system to me.

Damn this guy is going for broke.
SuperrPips
As seen from the equity curve, this systems trading was impressive until about mid April 2012. Since then the volatility of this system has dramatically increased, win percentage has fallen quite a bit, and the system is not performing well. I think a switch to pay only if profitable would be an improvement.

After good initial start, the system is starting going down. Each loss is a lot bigger than each gain which means the direction of each trade is not very good.
Golden Phoenix Forex
This is a very promising young system. It has minimal market exposure, with a current average trade duration of just 5.1 hours, it has consistently low intratrade drawdowns, and it has an excellent sharp ratio. It's win rate is 80%--very respectable, but not unrealistic.
That says to me that, unlike a great many other FX systems here on C2 and elsewhere, Golden Phoenix is disciplined enough to bail out of a losing trade long before it threatens to becomes a wipe-out. Plus, the TOS certification show that the developer is confident enough in his system to trade it in his own account.
Compounding Income Stream
This system is easy to trade.His trades seem to be low risk considering they are naked puts with relatively low risk and loss control.
SuperrPips
This is an opening range breakout system with Sunday evening providing the basis for the targets for the upcoming week. Based on my backtesting, this system does not have a significant edge. In my opinion, the positive equity curve has resulted as much from luck as from skill. In other words, I am bailing out.
SuperrPips
The return has been negative since Feb'12 including costs/comm. 7 month is a long period without positive return. Although overall stats still look good, especially return vs. max drawdown, recent results show the strategy has lost its edge. It deserves no more than 2 stars due to the recent poor performance.
SuperrPips
Needs to step up really in the following weeks. Running into its biggest drawdown in 15 months. Needs to prove that this is just a normal drawdown instead of being an outdated trading system.
Forex Swing 2012
I have to admit, this developer has really impressed me despite the short track record. He has made enough trades in my opinion to draw conclusions from the sample. I also like his risk adverse style. Keep up the great work!
SuperrPips
One down month after more than a year and the crowd starts throwing rotten fruit. This system is mechanical, so sometimes it will lose by ignoring the news buzz, but mostly it wins by doing so. If August is like July, I'll reconsider, but for now, look as his equity curve and cut the guy some slack.
2d
I am sure the subscribers for 2d will crash and burn; but, 2d will survive for another trade. The system reminds me of Pipalert.
SuperrPips
The recent results is certainly disappointing. Hope it will get better.
SuperrPips
Last review is too harsh, subscriber may have signed up 2-4 weeks ago. But the system is definitely out of touch with the market, as it is buying at highs and selling at lows at well defined supp/res levels. One has to admit that all good systems become obsolete at some point, this may be the time now for SuperrPips. I give it 5 stars for having been one of best systems of all times here at C2. Happy subscriber for several months, I may be signing off soon after a good long ride.
VeePo ES Custom
Steady, no nonsense trading system. Consistently putting up positive months with limited draw down. This is a trading system you can feel comfortable using on larger accounts.
Kingda Forex
Especially good results lately. Low fees. It is not a martingale system despite some light averaging into positions. Risk appears to be managed well given its relatively low drawdown with over 1.5 years on C2. Developer is very responsive. One of the few forex systems that makes the cut with a reasonable age, Sortino, drawdown, and profit factor filter.
PIPALERT
Since Pipalert raised its monthly rate last month, the developer has not been doing well. You should roll back the price.
