The leader did not trade for 3 weeks...not sure if this strategy is still supported!

Very good system. Requires using a sufficient amount of capital per contract (depending on your risk tolerance) and discipline to follow the system.

been using for 8 months and will continue very diligent system

I don't subscribe to a lot of systems but I do follow a lot of them. I must say that this system is very consistent with an excellent risk return profile. What I appreciate the most is that the manager has understands markets risks and knows when to take trades or to stay cash. The fact that It doesn't trade a lot is a plus from my point of view because it can be traded manually and it means also you are not taking market risk every trading day. by the way i belive that when a system has more tan 3 years of a good and consistent Track record there is no much moer to add. keep up the good work. .

I have been following this system for a number of years and as indicated in other reviews on this site, Bob Dylan is one of the best. The system is not a frequent trader but is exceptionally profitable. Inter trade drawdowns may test your risk tolerance but the success rate is worth the test.

Great system. We've been trading this strategy for a few years now and we're happy with the Trader!

If you are going to trade this system you need to know yourself pretty well and know how much drawdown you can tolerate. If you use too much leverage you will likely get scared and exit the trade early. Exiting the trade early will almost always cost you tons of money. Here is how a winning trade will go sometimes: The market drops about 2% and you receive the system signal to go long. This system has up to two signals per trade so you buy 1/2 of your maximum contracts per trade. Then the market continues to drop and after a few days your account is down 15%. You are starting to feel scared that the market will continue to crash. All the financial experts around the world are proclaiming on the television and radio that the market will continue to decline and you should get out as soon as possible. At this darkest hour the system now gives you a second signal to double up on you contracts! You were already scared with 1/2 the contracts and now you need to double up? At this point the future is up to you. You can bail out for a significant loss or double up with an 80% of turning this into a winning trade in the next few days. It 19s hard to go against your instinct to sell, but this system feeds upon fear and will make some of its best gains when all hope is lost. I have been trading this system off and on since October 2011. At that time I didn 19t have a lot of confidence in the system so I didn 19t perform the trades like the system specified. I did the math and if I would have faithfully followed the system from day 1 until now my account would have tripled in size! Instead my account is only up 10% for that entire period. My account would have risen 56% in 2014 alone if I would have stuck with it. How many SP500 contracts should you trade to maximize your profits while keeping the drawdowns reasonable? The yearly gains displayed on collective2 are distorted by the fact that the system always trades one or two contracts per trade no matter what the account size is. For example, the gains in 2010(when the account value was $10,000) are most likely overstated and the gains in 2014 (account value was P,000) are understated. Using the historic system trades I ran some simulations to help determine the optimum amount of leveraging to use. The results were that trading one contract (or two if there is a second signal) for every $30,000 in my account would maximize my yearly gain and still have a reasonable drawdown. If you had traded this system for the 15 years at this level of leverage you would have made an average of 45% per year with a maximum drawdown of 27% during the trade and a maximum drawdown of 12% after the trade closed. If you are not comfortable with this drawdown you could, for example, trade $60,000 per contract and cut all those numbers in half. The good: 1. 15 year overall track record without a single losing year. 5 year independently verified track record on the colletive2 site. Using $30,000 per contract leveraging, the biggest gain was 108% during the crash of 2008 and the smallest gain was 8% in 2012. 2. Using $30,000 per contract leveraging, for the last 15 years the overall gain was 45% per year (37% average per year the last 5 years) with a maximum 1Cduring a trade 1D account drawdown of 27% and a maximum closed trade account drawdown of 12%. 3. The system does not just take trades to make the subscriber happy. It only signals a trade when all conditions for a high probability trade are met. During low volatility markets it might go for months without a single trade. 4. Perfect for retirement accounts. TD Ameritrade allows you to trade futures contracts in an IRA without any monthly or yearly fees. Trading this system in an IRA using stocks or ETF 19s doesn 19t work as well because it is hard to get the exact leveraging you want and after buying and selling stocks in and IRA you have to wait 3 days before you can trade again. Sometimes the system will signal another trade sooner than 3 days after your last trade. But with futures contracts you can buy and sell as often as you like at about any amount of leveraging you like. 5. Low exposure to the market. Overall on average with this system you are only in the market about 30% of the time. That means the next time there is a big event like 9-11 you have a 70% of not being in the marked so your risk of an oversized loss is reduced significantly. The bad: 1. You can 19t make a lot of money without risking a lot of money. At $30,000 per contract leveraging there is a chance that a once or twice a decade event will occur while you are long and you will lose 50% or more of your account. I would estimate your chance of this is about 5% for each 10 year period you use the system. I plan to minimize this risk by trading $30,000 per contract until my account grows substantially (for about 6 years) and then reduce my risk to $60,000 per contract. 2. One of the main reasons I like this system is the 15 year track record. The time between 2000 and 2010 is not independently verified and we have to wonder whether or not the track record is accurate. Was the track record created real-time as the system provided signals or was the system created in 2010 and back-tested on data back to 2000? If the 2000-2010 track record consists of back-tested then this is a good system but not yet proven to be great.

I was referred to this strategy by a friend and it has not disappointed so far. Only one signal so far. So may be too early for me to tell but this lloks to have solid history and track record. Thank you,

Bob Dylan is a good solid system. There are periods of low activity, but that is fine since it is better to set on the sideline than lose money. I prefer the high probability trades that Bob Dylan provides.

The most stable trading system I have ever traded. Bob Dylan doesn't trade a lot, but almost all the signals are issued just on time.

Bob Dylan is an exceptional system. He is a very disciplined trader who won't put a trade on until the time is right I paid for 2 years subscription with the profits from my first trade I highly recommend this system

This is a great system, in the sidelines waiting for the moment to jump in and it have been doing it for a while already !!

I like this system. Best if combined with the other two systems of the same developer.

The statistics and track record say it all. If you want excitement from trading everyday, then not for you. But if you just want profit, then this is a good system.

Over the past year, I've subscribed to about six systems here on C2 and Bob Dylan has performed the most consistently for me. It went through a few months without a single trade, and that was a little frustrating. However, when it did trade the results were excellent and more than made up for the subscription fees. The developer seems to know what he's doing, and enters the market only at the most opportune times. Based on this past year's performance, it's one of the few systems I've tried that I feel confident "setting and forgetting". So-far-so-good.

I have 20 years experience with timing the market. It is rare to find a system that has discipline. This system went 6 months without a trade. With most other systems, the author would get impatient and tweak the system to generate more trades. Bravo. And, I have been trading automatically and have found the fills to be accurate with the system. Also rare.

Been 3 months since any signal. Maybe that's a good thing, but the should only charge in months where they actually provide a signal. Otherwise it's a waste of your money.

This system has too few trades. And if you look closely at the stats avg win and avg loss is about the same but extremely high win rate. If win rate decrease towards 50% drawdown and performance will suffer significantly.

I started auto-trading this system just after the major loss of 5/4/2012, so, although the system trades infrequently, all 4 subsequent trades have made a profit. Quite laudable! I've placed an automatic stop-loss of $2,000, but haven't had to "invoke" it yet. I recommend this system.

Awesome system!!! Although it doesn't trade much, it handily beats the market & just about everything else out there. With an 11 year track-record, this is a proven money-maker over time! This is one of two systems that I actually trade on C2.

After waiting almost four months for a signal we certainly were not disappointed with the outcome of the first signal of the year. It was well worth the wait.

sp500-trading.com is a rare consistent moneymaker (trading futures) on Collective2, with a solid 2 year record. Due to the nature of it's buy oversold/sell overbought strategy, it does get into some deep drawdowns on occasion, so if you can live with the drawdowns, I would strongly recommend this program.

I chanced to visit this system provider website on Nov/6/2009, the website has a simple message Are there any better systems of this type out there? I have not been able to find any but if you can let us know. Till date my search continues,

With a brief experience so far, I can give no better evaluation perhaps than that I have my money with this vendor. His communication is timely and forthright. And much appreciated. Above all, RESULTS are encouraging!
