The strategy is OK. You can make decent money with it. However, I find that the return is not commensurate with the amount of risk taken. There are other strategies that have higher returns with more or less the same risk.
Antares SP500 is probably the best emini sp500 strategy on C2. Has great risk control and Paolo is a great strategy developer who provides excellent communication. I look forward to Paolo releasing more strategies.
Very Low DD, consistent gains, fair price. I would consider 5 stars (or even 6! :-) ) if it was 1,5-2 y/o with similar performance... time will tell. So far so good.
Have had a good experience with Smart Volatility IRA.... it performs as intended and gives some insurance against encountering a wildly volatile day. Additionally the owner has been great at timely feedback as desired.
Very good trades. More percent profitable than not. Good stop loss system. Overall good risk reward ratio and consistency of performance. Let’s see how it does in a downturn, hopefully it should do fine.
I've been following Brad for years now and I think he is one of the best strategy managers on C2. His results speak for themselves, and have a longer history than most. Within the realm of what I'd consider "responsible" systems on C2 that are likely to be successful in the long haul, his performance is exceptional, and is not prone to potential account wipe-out should there be a significant market event. The fact that he is a professional and brings an ethical component into his investing are just further reasons I will likely stick with him for as long as he's willing.
Solid performer. Similar in style to other systems on C2 that buy dipping stocks, but with better risk-adjusted return and down-side control. The absolute returns aren't flashy, but unlike with most flashy return systems, I suspect this system will still be here tomorrow.
Developer is responsive and professional.
I trade 5 of the top vix systems on C2, and I have also written my own system backtested at 70% yearly. Robert Peterson is the best vix trader I have run into. I trade both his systems and will continue to do so.
Strategy holds on to losing positions for long periods and often the losing trades are much more in loss than the profits of any of the winning trades.
VIX tactical gets only 87% . If you buy and hold XIV you could get up 145 % as today . If you look at Volatility Return , the system trades XIV also , It hits 143 % and costs $99 a month .
This strategy is on of the best on C2. Risk is well managed. Andres is a very talented strategy developer. I look forward to following his strategies for years to come and hope to releases more strategies.
Very solid, algorithmic approach. My only concern is that it is long-only. How will it perform in a downturn? Perhaps just flat, which is better than losing...
After 3 MONTHS of trading the system it is one of two that I trust with my funds. From the trades and developer communications it has the feel of a professional program. The record speaks for itself.
The anchor for my IRA portfolio. If you subscribe, you will sleep well at night. Sector rotation. Extensive, impressive, backtest history & the icing on the cake is buying S&P emini options on the dips. A very well-rounded strategy. Excellent returns with minimal drawdowns. 14 month history on C2 & only 1 losing month ( 1.9% ).
I am very satisfied with the strategy's developer as he must monitor XIV/VXX movement all the time. His management style will probably do very well in tough market in the long run.
Keep up the good work.
Not enough time with the system yet to write a meaningful review so selected 4 stars only for that reason (the C2 system page speaks for itself as far as past performance to date on C2). However, I will say that I am manually trading the system and this is not a problem based on how the signals are sent and managed. So if anyone is at their autotrading limit as far as number of systems and wants a manually tradable ES system, this one is a good candidate.
I normally don't write reviews on C2 any more because 2-3 weeks is not enough time to experience the ups & downs of the systems. I made an exception because I've been following VIXTrader Pro for almost a year now. Roberts track record speaks for itself. Minimal drawdowns and maximum returns. Unbelievable. He really does seem to have a 6th sense when it comes to XIV/VXX. Probably the thing I like best is his willingness to jump from XIV to VXX in an instant. I feel I am less likely to get caught up in another nasty 20% drawdown again. He must sit there @ his computer with fingers on the keyboard all day long and I appreciate it. He has always responded to my messages. Keep up the great work Robert!!
