CkNN Algo

Did not find anything proprietary about this system.

Russell Trending

Is this a good system? Hard to say but I suspect it is. The system is discretionary and the developer traded infrequently (at least in the period i've subscribed for). The one issue I have with the system is that it suffers hugely from slippage. I suspect this isn't a broker issue but rather to do with transmission of orders from C2 to subscriber's broker accounts. The impact on profit and loss is signification which is why I can't continue to subscribe to this system until C2 can resolve it.

RSC Stocks

I joined for two months, total about 4 trades, all lose money. here I gave 3 star since the strategy leader did control risk well, always had stop ready. But the results was not good in latest two months.

Russell Trending

Stay away. This one is barely keeping its nose above the water, for now. Soon will look like his other two systems.

RIP XIV

This is one very risky strategy. I have to agree with the other negative comments. There is no risk- or money-management, huge drawdowns, no stop losses, no exit strategy. Just gambling. After January 2017 one has to wonder if the trader want's to loose money deliberately. Going long for 6 weeks on UVXY is one crazy trade. Even a beginner wouldn't make a mistake like that. I'm just glad I got out in time. Don't get fooled by the TOS. The trader doesn't care about capital preservation. Avoid also his other TOS strategy "VolatilityTrader", same foolish volatility trades against a very strong trend.

XLN Swingtrading

Steady gains within years, low DD, reasonable Price. I could not ask for more. Outstanding.

Event Hunter

Many of the trades seem quite random, not part of a strategy and not following macro events as the system describes.

Russell Trending

I am only 3 weeks into a Russell Trending subscription. This system had a very strong start during last 2 months of 2016, followed by an ok Jan 2017, but the last 3 weeks have been flat, after several losing trades followed by a few gainers. The developer has indicated some changes are needed due to # of subscribers, however it is hard to shell out $299/mo for subscription +autotrade and watch days go by with no trades at all. This system use to trade daily with an average holding period of less than 1 hr, so it is hard to fathom that no trade opportunities come up during any trading day. Some of the days have been trending some have been a saw, but they all appeared to have short-term trade opportunities. I'm hoping the developer has not become gun-shy, This market is tough with black and white swan tweets but still tradeable and this developer has shown a good ability to trade in this environment in the past. I will be patient but not forever.

Blowgun

Worst strategy I have ever subscribed to on C2. No solid trade plans. Keeps reversing trade direction but still comes up with losing trades!

VolatilityTrader

On 9th Jan, ILMN-Stock jumped 30% after market closure. Beeing on the short side was bad luck, no blame about that. But shorting SVXY and going long on TVIX for over a month? Sorry, I don't get it! Other volatility traders on Collective2 are succesfully trading just the opposite for a long time. Against all odds, the first few days SVXY & TVIX trades were in profit, but nothing was done to secure those profits. After that, the trades turned into a loss, and after realizing the mistake, those trades were still not closed by the trader. So after over a month we are still like sitting ducks and watching the huge losses incrasing daily. The Trader is surely very knowledgeable, but after Jan 2017, I totally lost confidence in the strategy. I couldn't see any proper risk management, no capital protection, a huge (unecessary) drawdown, and no exit point. That's why I'm not going to risk my own hard earned money with this trader any longer. And I can't really recommend this strategy to anyone anymore, despite the TOS and a good 2016 performance.

Volatility Trade

Good system. No fake stats here. Only thing I would say is it is a little expensive. However, if he keeps generating returns like he has been in the recent past, I would gladly pay the signal fees.

ConservProfit

It's been only a few days of trading with this algorithm and i had one week of trial. The trial period came with a loss but the live trading brought some profits. I have no reason to give less than 5 stars but beware that i only had 1 week of trading with it. C2 favors algorithms makers by asking people to review the algos shortly after the subscription, before the bad things happen (and they will)

Blowgun

Very disappointed. Can understand some poor performance, but all gains wiped out in very short time. Much worse for recent subscribers who did not participate in initial gains. Plus the developer, FXWeapon has not been online for 9 days, nor has he provided any updates or explanation. Significant to note that he has 2 earlier systems that commenced well then suffered big losses and appear to have been abandoned. Admin at C2 should investigate

ConservProfit

My experiences up till now are very well. It seems the trader is very experienced with Forex trading which is a speciality. He combines automated and manual trading very well.

ConservProfit

I would give this system 5 stars but I'm waiting for the inevitable huge draw down (and how ConservProfit handles it) which will occur sooner or later. To the vendors credit, he has cautioned of the coming DD and to position accordingly. Having said that the system has preformed extremely well in all sorts of market conditions.

ANTARES SP500

I haven't been using the system for long, but Paolo has been very responsive and helpful. I asked detailed questions about the strategy and historical performance and he got back to me with the information I requested right away.

Russell Trending

I have tried a lot of Systems, this is my first review and I am excited to recommend this system if you want a good money manager. There are some that just trade without the human element, but this system brings both to the table. He doesn't let you loose too much and he is positive at a very high rate. I will subscribe to more systems from this man and let my account grow.

ConservProfit

The fees are low and the service and profit high. I wish collective2 would have more like ConservProfit.

QT DayTrader VIX

I feel these review requests need to be sent out 6 months or more after we start a new system, 1 week is too early to say much! From what I can see however the system trades tightly and conservatively and I have felt confident during the recent changeable market conditions. There can be quite a few individual buy and sell signals through the day (selling and buying back parcels of VXX) so the cheap commissions at IB are very helpful in keeping costs in check. Owner seems very responsive, committed and professional. Obviously performance is exceptional based on the short Collective history and longer back tested results.

1234567891

This system had a great start which attracted a lot of money. Unfortunately it's been losing since I subscribed. I wonder if the strategy, which uses limit orders, still works when there is a lot of money following it. There are a lot of contracts now sitting at the system's key levels in limit orders and I worry that has effected how the market acts near those prices and how the system performs. Hopefully it's not a problem and the system continues up soon. It is a disciplined system with stops and well defined levels that are followed. Upside before I subscribed was incredible and downside has been low for how much upside so far, but I'd like to see some upside myself.

VIX DayTrader 1

Maybe I am too unlucky, from the time when i joined.... Almost all trades are losing...

1234567891

I have been subscribed to this system for a month. During this time the system performed 10 trading operations, 7 at a loss. DD is not very high because stops are tight, but the subscription fee does not reccomend additional tests. Communication is poor.

ConservProfit

Strategy is good. Developer is knowledgable and keeps everyone informed. Conservative trader that uses stops. Slippage is bad. IB needs to address this matter. 2 stars due to slippage issue
