Reviews of US Stock Trader

US Stock Trader

This is one of the best systems on C2 I am so confident in it that it is now part or my retirement plan Joe

US Stock Trader

i am a long term subscriber more than a year . but lately i receive through c2 when in a position 6 or 7 exit orders i have asked the developer what the problem is after a few days ,i asked a second time but he has not replied and the same moment his performance is crumbling i have to reconsider if i want to keep on trading this system

US Stock Trader

I've subscribed to many C2 systems over the years, and this is probably the one I've kept for the longest period -- 17 months and counting. Sure, it only trades one stock that seems to always go up, but the fact that the vendor is able to make solid returns while being long, short and in cash tells me that the system is for real.

US Stock Trader

Very good return with only moderate DD.. But when I look at the history over the last year or so, it looks like performance would have been better if only the long trades were taken.

US Stock Trader

Hasn't been doing very well lately. Ask me in several months what I think. I have subscribed to his strategy for only about 1 month.

For me, this system has it all. Over 3 years of solid returns, reasonable DD and I can manually trade. I can sleep at night even when a trade is not going well because I have confidence that it will turn around and not the beginning of the end as sooo many other systems.

I have been autotrading this system and below are my observations: 1) The biggest problem with this system is that it underperforms the stock it is trading. Apple has an average gain of 4.8% per month, that is 57.6% annually. This system has a 52.2% compounded annual gain. Basically that means that if I went long on Apple I would performing better than this system here. People say 1Coh but sometimes Apple goes down and we make money. 1D Sure that might be the occasional case but in the long-run the numbers speak for themselves. If you are trading this system, just buy and hold Apple and you will outperform this system. 2) Slippage can be quite horrible. You can see it for yourself under 1Cshow more details 1D in the trading section and click on each trade and see the actual prices given to the autotraders. For example on a trade done 3/6 (the last one, I am not cherry-picking), the system trade price was closed at $530.09. The actual autotraded price range was $529.51 13 $530.32. I never get the system prices and always lose more and gain less. This is true of any popular system on C2. 3) Nowhere does it say that you need at least $25,000 in equity in order to trade this system. The reason is because the system creator often day trades and the broker will label you as a 1Cpattern day trader 1D in which your account will be frozen until you are at least at $25k. 4) The communication is non-existent. I sent a message and got a 4 day response time. This is semi-understandable considering the amount of subscribers. However an update broadcasted can alleviate a lot of traders 19 concerns. I have subscribed to other systems and the system creator often gives updates on strategy, and a basic plan on where the system might take us. Currently it feels as if there is nothing proprietary about this system and the creator arbitrarily picks a long/short position based on momentum.

Two stars for two reasons: first, as indicated by the reviews below and as substantiated by my own experience, the developer is remarkably inconsiderate of his subscribers; he apparently gets his orders filled at 16:00, but I don’t; and I suspect many others have the same experience. One would think someone offering a service would want to do what it takes to please his customers, but apparently not in this case. Second, the developer represented to me, as he reportedly has to at least one previous reviewer, that he was going to change his practice of issuing orders at 16:00. The next day he did the same thing, and has not responded to my subsequent inquiry. Good system, but not wanting to give my money to someone who, putting it nicely, fails to do what he said he would, I am out.

US Stock Trader

This is an excellent system, with well chosen entry points and carefully managed risk. To the other reviewer who noted that the system performance more or less matched that of the stock I would point out that since the time of that review the stock dropped massively but the system continued to perform. This system delivers, long or short. Be aware that close signals are often issued at 16:00, which does not give you enough time to execute, not even if auto-trading. The developer has indicated that signals would be issued at 15:59 instead soon, which will address the issue I'm having, but may still not give you enough time if you're trading manually. Auto-trading is definitely highly recommended.

I have some doubts on this system. It started its operation when Apple was trading @ 376$ and at the moment of writing the price is 616%, so there is an increment of 64% that is almost the same return of this system (75% annual). So, a simple buy and hold strategy would have produced the same results, but this is not the point I wish to highlight. I see that the systems has much more losers than winners and in this last 30 days we entered into a a drawdown period where the system went long when was time to go short and viceversa. I have lost a bit of confidence in this system right now, so I hope the developer will share with its subscriber base some thoughts. Regards

US Stock Trader

Sound system. Nice steady equity growth curve. Trading AAPL exclusively at the moment; presume this is subject to change. Good stats: win/loss, profit factor, Sharpe ratio all excellent. Drawdowns are well contained. Stops and target orders placed at time of entry on all new positions. Note for those trading within IRAs--system takes both long and short entries, so returns in a long-only account will vary accordingly.
