Exceptional strategy that represents a rare mix of high returns, low drawdown, position diversification, and virtually no broad market correlation. Better yet, since most positions are on the short side, if the market has a sudden big drawdown, this strategy will probably make a little extra money in that environment. Strategy developer is polite, responsive and professional. For a small subset of trade signals, shares are occasionally not available to short, but in general, trades are replicated without issue via the C2 platform. As a standalone strategy, it's one of the very best on C2, and for investors with a buy and hold portfolio, it's an excellent complement.

Lost thousands of dollars. Poor risk management. I am training to be a pro trader and I cannot lose more than 1% of my firm's funds at any time. That is a hard rule for many pro traders. These amateur-style algorithms on C2 can lose more than 10% in one day, triggering margin calls, which make staying in advertised trades realistically impossible. Tried programming stop losses to prevent capital loss in Interactive Brokers, but IB has extremely limited quantities after hours (even at 4:30pm!) unlike other trading platforms. Your stop losses will not be respected, will not fill.
