Wugot can be a nail-biter at times with significant per trade drawdowns relative to equity as shown in the trade record. 5 contracts held at times represent over 600K in gold so a 1 percent move either way in gold is 6K. Seems important to achieve high win rate at all costs but usually works out OK which is probably a testament to Wugot's trading ability and experience. Is this a great system or a potential disaster? Not sure so stay tuned.
Brad Pappas uses the same investments for his private clients as he does for collective2. He has been very responsive when I've needed extra information, and thus I have a lot of confidence in his system.
I am a new subscriber, but I am a subscriber to the trader's other system Strategic Trading, and I wanted some diversification. So far he has performed with this system like his other system, good returns and good risk control.
Fairly steady returns through Dec 2015, with an ugly August/September. Generally sticks with 1 contract, without doubling up when the trade moves against him. Though there are some 2 and 3 contract holdings with 5-15% trade drawdowns.
But middle of Jan 2016 he changed style to be hedged: Long ES and Short YM, at exactly the same time. I don't see the benefit (he would need to demonstrate arbitrage edge over time). He should stick with directional bets, or flat.
I'm a new subscriber, but I like the philosophy of the developer and he appears to be able to make good money and keep his drawdowns low. Leverage seems to average about 6x, which is reasonable for forex. He is a higher cost system, but I'm happy to pay for quality. Discretionary trading take more dedication than just spinning up a system and forgetting about it, but I'd rather have a human at the helm.
We have been auto trading with these guys for a week or so. The developer sends out weekly summary of the strategy performance and is something we like. In addition we are somewhat comforted the developer is also putting his money on the line with us. There are horrors out there in the C2 world with strategies blowing up whilst the developer has no skin in the game. In so far as performance is concerned we have not seen any doubling/ tripling of positions and risk/ drawdown per position is low. We would argue if you were starting that you have perhaps $20k and not $10k to avoid scary moments.
So, 3rd day of my subscription is finished, and I am the Chosen One to write a review. These are hard days on the market, and I am ok with what I have now. I was looking for this system long before my subscription started. Based on my analysis Carma Stocks is one of the best stock systems here on C2 in terms of long-term investing with low risks. So, good luck!
Beware Of Anything By Cambridge... Do your homework before subscribing to TY. In my opinion these people are only interested in collecting the fees you pay to subscribe. They are good at sweet talking, but in the end most likely you will loose lots of money. Don't get suckered in by the pretty charts. Go to the forum and do your research....

Check out TF Auto. That one is crashing and burning as I type.
I just recently became a subscriber after sim trading and watching for a long time. Developer is very nice and responsive. I like the way this system trades. I hope this system continues to achieve its wonderful returns.
I have been with C2 for approx. a year and this is by far the best strategy I have seen on C2.
I autotrade more than 100% with confidence.
No overnight positions.
I never have to worry about overnight drawdowns, Lowest risk and highest ROI in C2
Strategy owner is always accessible.
I highly recommend this strategy
I really thought this system was the one. It doesn't trade too much and you don't need to auto trade and when I started back in September things were looking good but it's been all down hill since then.
It might work out for someone with a longer time frame and willing to take deep drawdowns that's why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1, otherwise chock it up to another failed system
i have only traded this system for a short while, but it seems it is a very well run system. unlike some other systems, it doesnt go overboard with martindaling, and will accept a smallish loss instead of trying to get 100% trade success. it has been successful for the most part, and since with forex most people lose money that is ok
I really like this system. If you are a little bit patient the profit is more then sufficient.
Draw down level in my opinion is acceptable. And what is the most important for me the systmem always trades with one contract. The are no pyramids.
With this present open trade loss of 6K, a 29% dd from the equity when he started this trade on Oct 2 (dd per trade should be capped at a max of 5% of total equity) vendor has lost all credibility. He had a great entry on Oct 2 (jobs report day) ran up a profit of 2K but then did nothing when a clear bottom formed which lasted quite a while. He should have gotten out then because his average system profit is only 1K. Instead he let the profit evaporate and is now at a 6K loss, it seems he fell asleep at the wheel. This action or better inaction is irresponsible even if the present loss reverses. Luckily I placed a stop loss and got away with a small loss since there were clear warning signs: His previous failed or abandoned systems and the fact that he does not give any system description or background information.
Dave is guilty of dereliction of duty. He is absent from the site for days on end, all the while his system is crashing hard. He must have a fulltime job elsewhere and only plays his system as an uninterested "developer".
The trader seems very disciplined with his trades, and always sets stops and exit orders. So far he is generating good alpha on top of just shorting the market, so this seems like a great addition to a portfolio to smooth out the bumps.
