FX Crashthrough
Vendor has not respondet to my PM from 12 days ago. This precludes the system from any further consideration. In addition, a stop loss of 1,450 pips away from the present price does not seem to offer much protection.
THE SUBSCRIBER PERSPECTIVE
Strategy reviews
Real experiences. In subscribers' own words.
Read what worked, what didn't, and what it was like to follow a strategy.
JV Long/Short Equity
Very good swing trading system. Appropriate position sizing. Good diversity in the types of positions

Obviously this system is in its infancy with only 14 total trades to date, but the results to date are stunning. I subscribed on the 12th and today was the first trade. My account is scaled to 1/4 model account sizing . . . so I ONLY made about $4,390 today . . . less commission owed and earned by developer! Developer also has excellent back testing site which is very helpful and keeps expectations somewhat tempered. The developer has been very quick to reply to queries . . . yes, even to the stupid questions. I feel very fortunate to have jumped on one of the available seats for this system. Needless to say, I am looking at other systems by the developer as well. Will be at 5 stars in very near future based on track record to date.
Marathon Trading
This system seems to work well for auto traders but not so for manual traders. Many minor pairings traded with big spreads results in missed winners but guaranteed to catch every loser.
Naga
Developer is very responsive and honest. Very happy to find a system that trades something different than the rest.
Alphergence - O2C
Developer is very responsive, experienced, and actively monitoring. System is still new and price is a bit high for small accounts but worth the price of R&D of a system that works as well as this one.
Forex Special
There has been a lot of good press lately about Forex Special and rightly so. The stats are impressive. When you take the time to sit down and look at them closely, and scale the system to your account, a nice steady profit is clearly possible. However, I would urge everyone to understand that the system has had multiple occasions of $600+ drawdown - and that is with the standard 2 minilots. This would be $600 * your minilot scaling. Although a $600+ drawdown has not happend in quite some time I scale my account to that figure just in case. I love the system.
OS Long Only 2
I have been following OS2 for several months and it works. Although there are losing trades, the system has been profitable every month.
The pros:- no drawdown yet, though the developer claims when it does happen, it will be very small. Easy to follow system. Instructions could not be clearer
The cons - a lot of trades which means checking your e-mail before the market opens and again before it closes because, depending on the futures/how the market is going, planned trades are often cancelled. Also because of the subscription expenses, trade commissions and auto trade costs, you need a large initial investment to make a decent profit.
Forex Special
What an excellent system! Forex Special has given me consistent profits so far and the communication from the developer has been superb. I HIGHLY recommend it. You can scale the account to your needs to realize bigger gains and I will be increasing my number of mini lots again very shortly to take advantage of the amazing track record I have been observing over the last two months. The developer averages around 8 trades a month under normal circumstances but of course, that number can vary. Depending on market conditions, the trade durations range from 24 hour holdings or longer to lightning fast trades of only a few minutes. Forex Special gets 5 Stars from me for sure!
Quantum Fader
I recently subscribed to this system, and so far, I am very impressed. Consistent gains, with very few drawdowns, and small ones when they do occur. Vendor has good understanding of the inherent risks of leveraged ETF's, and utilizes this knowledge for the benefit of subscribers. IMO....one of the best values here at C2.
Topaz NQ100 M
Topaz is the best stock strategy I've found on C2 and the only one I consider safe enough for my retirement account. It is flexible and profitable, both short term and long. Autotrading it is easy and there has been a steady upward equity climb since I joined (although it had to weather the tsunami as did a lot of other systems.) Sometimes the mandatory 10 day selloff can be a frustrating if a position is in the red, but the overall equity curve still steadily rises. The beauty of this once a day system is that if you want to manually manipulate any of the positions, it is easy to do so, even with autotrading enabled. Developer's website and comprehensive FAQs are excellent.

Developer is very responsive and informative in the forum and you can tell he cares about his subscribers slippage, etc. I was shocked and grateful there was open subscriptions when I discovered it. Get a slot while you still can.
Oil Trading System
Developer is very responsive and informative. Although the system is new, detailed backtesting available made me feel more confident trying it out. Very happy with Oil Trading.
MREV1
The developer is very good about keeping subscribers up to date and providing back-testing data. This is a very volatile system, so high drawdowns should be expected and IMO one should not commit their full account to this. That being said, there is a very high reward possible for those who can hold on through the wild ride. Easy to follow, trade, and get results like those posted on the trade record.
zFutures Diversified
Z-Trader seems to have a good feel for successful trading systems which rely on good risk management controls. Historically, it appears that most every trade has been low risk as a percentage of equity. I’ve found the system developer to be both accessible and responsive – while genuinely wanting subscribers to fully understand the system’s risks/rewards.
Through communications with the Z-Trader developer, I’ve learned that his trading experience can help navigate the inevitable rough times well enough to take advantage of the more profitable periods. Z-Trader has performed favorably to similar systems with small account sizes.
Qusi FX
This method shows a reliable history as all can see. Lately things have been a bit quiet which while a little frustrating is nice to see that the trader is willing to wait and trade real setups that trading for the sake of entertaining their subscribers. Kudos for that!
ONE'N'GO
Not a bad system i think, but results have been flat for several months, meaning the monthly fee is killing returns. Also, the stop loss from C2 is not working (i get email saying was issued, but the position is still open afterwards - customer service has been no help). I'm thus calling it quits with this system.
Test System 3
I think Barry (system developer) has a novel idea but I am not happy with how the actual instrument (TVIX) trades. It is very sporadic and does not negatively correlate very well with the equity indices.
ONE'N'GO
Not sure if One N Go has lost its touch, but I got a little squemish after seeing it get stopped out of a long position and then proceed to take another long position - with the entry at a worse price than where it was stopped out at.
Stopped autotrading; will see if the wisdom of this trade becomes apparent before my subscription is due.
Insurance
Waiting for system to prove current performance past 100-140 actual trades before auto-trading. Early performance looks promising. If system can keep risk control for every single trade reported while yielding the same performance in the next 100 trades it will deserve 4-5 stars.
MREV1
A solidly profitable position has turned to substantial drawdown- I must admit I dont understand the logic.
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Clustering Bot
Is it possible that the developer has been incapacitated by the falling knife shown in the system equity graph? That will at least explain the complete of communication.
Test System- Not for Public
The developer went from trading Futures and ETFs to trading individual stocks. A change of heart or a lack of confidence? Also developer take small profits on winning trades and no stop losses.
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Clustering Bot
Do not use this system, unless you are willing to risk your funds with an uncommunicative developer with out of control losing trades still open. Developer has not logged on for a week and has not responded to 2 emails. The money management principles stated in description appear not to be followed. Something very odd about this.

WHAT A SHAME JIM, THIS SYSTEM USED TO LOOK SO GOOD !!
