Yesterday I sent following email to the vendor: Hi Brad, I've been a subscriber to OPII for more than a year now, and as far as I can see from the C2 results, OPI is looking much better in terms of statistics. Do you recommend me to switch to OPI now or continue with OPII? Are you still trading OPII for your family accounts? My experience with C2 systems is that when a vendor changes the way he trades his system (although you explained clearly why you were making that change), it is almost always a warning sign for me that something is not right and it may be the time to quit or change. Therefore I am asking those two questions. If you tell me to continue with OPII, I will. And received following reply: And last year you criticized by systems when they went flat in the Summer this year its something else. You burned your bridge with me. Then I sent following email: I believe you confused me with someone else. I did not criticise you last summer as I was a new subscriber. I asked you a few questions and you got them as criticism and I told you that it was a way of learning to ask questions and you told me "No worries, keep asking". Yesterday, I asked a simple question and seeked your recommendation if I should switch to OPI or continue with OPII, and I told you the reason why I asked those questions. And that reason is my own experience with C2 systems as I've been trading C2 systems for a very long time. But your reply to me is not kind, not answering my question and considering your previous replies either to me or other subscribers, it looks like you have no tolerance to any opinion and you have certainly an ego and attitude problem. As a long time subscriber seeking answers to my questions, I definitely haven't deserved this kind of behaviour, therefore I'm going to unsubscribe from OPII when my paid period ends this month. Regards, 2013 and 2014 returns and other stats are fantastic. I was considering to trade this strategy for a long time as normally I am a loyal subscriber (I've been trading another strategy for more than 3 years now), but the attitude of vendor is unacceptable. Whenever you ask a question, you feel like you'll be punished as he has a ego problem and take everything as a criticism. If you'd like to work with this kind of vendor, then be my guest. But as a paying subscribers, I believe we don't deserve this kind of attitude. Therefore; Performance/Stats: 4 stars Service: Does not deserve a star

I've been using this system for a few weeks and I have nothing but losses at the moment. The two other stock trading systems I subscribe to are up nicely over this period. I didn't like that the trader hedged his long positions with inverse ETFs. At one point the inverse ETFs were nicely profitable but he chose to let them go negative before closing them out. Stop loss/trailing stop anyone? Not impressed.

Optimized Partners ll is a good system. Brad Papas is an ex-trader from one of the large brokerage houses and decided to move out west and start his own trading systems. He has considerable client funds under management. I do not follow his system verbatim in that I scale out in half lots when a certain profit or loss level is reached. One of the underlying factors that makes this system attractive is his ability to anticipate market reversals and move into reverse ETFs as a hedge in protecting part of your equity profits. He does a good job analyzing fundamentals. You have to watch the liquidity on some of these small and midcaps. I've had no problems entering or exiting so far. Greg Price
