I could not agree more with the recent review. I signed up Feb 13, 2021 and since then my account has done nothing but lost money...and A LOT of money. In the beginning, the manager was responsive and then disappeared when I started asking logical questions, like how much capital is needed to trade the strategy. I could never get a straight answer and I received 2 completely different answers about 3 days apart. On multiple occasions, I had to send a message to the manager to let them know there was a position that had over a 100% increase in their portfolio of 300 positions. 300 positions!! Anyways, within 30 minutes a sell signal would be sent out on the position I just sent a message on. Seriously???? I closed both this strategy and Tenet 2020 today and I am taking serious losses. I am mad at myself for being fooled. Do not be fooled.
Strat manager responsive while signing up in January. Currently -$96K drawdown on $580K (100%) allocation (NO idea why C2 says Max DD is 10.2% when strat took over $20K loss yesterday and is holding -$75K in open/unrealized PnL on a $580K portfolio) and no response from strat manager for a week for the most expensive strat on C2. Eating losses and unsubscribing. YMMV, but buyer beware with this manager if you are expecting any kind of support/communication.
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.
I would say that this is probably the best overall strategy on C2. Consistent and has the ability to make gains from both upward and downward markets. He's constantly changing and improving how it operates to minimize losses too. I've had many other strategies on C2 that wiped out my accounts after a couple bad days.
This buy-side only strategy waits to enter until after large jumps in the Nasdaq 100 futures market, usually entering after at least one resistance level is cleared (becoming a support) and about halfway or sometimes all the way to the beginning of the next resistance level. Once it triggers, the strategy stays in the market for hours, even if the market reverses direction. (To me this seems like the way a computer would do it based on a long candle duration.) This strategy has worked very well relative to most other strategies during the late February and March turbulence, and even in the recent positive weeks where most strategies are doing well, so does NQ Quickie. I joined around March 21st. Eventually, I started trying to limit the drop-off at the end of the trades by manually adjusting my own stop loss, but it actually cost me some upside recently. (Riding out the drop allowed the strategy to catch some upswings I missed.) Unlike most strategies that have flat-top charts like this one, NQ Quickie has a hold and hope ratio greater than 1, a large average win to average loss ratio, and low leverage. It also doesn't have a huge profit ramp at the beginning. This means the NQ Quickie strategy is NOT Martingaling and that it does NOT game the C2 system's allowance to create private strategies. For all these reasons, I feel like this is the new king or queen of futures strategies on C2.
After a few months, I'm more than 10% loss in my account!!
Not to mention dozens of activities each month with endless commissions.Very dissapointing.
This broker can't deliver what he advertises.Be caredful!
It works as described. I joined in February and the returns have been a little bit better than buying and holding the underlying security (TQQQ).
The stops are occasionally set in unfortunate places; however, again, better than buying and holding, and less labour intensive than actively monitoring the symbol all day.
The strategy does change a little bit periodically, and Tony communicates regularly about new developments.
The strategy went all the way down without any advice nor any risk assessment. I learned my lesson. Next time i will simulate and paper trade for an extended 90 to 120 days before putting some money in these type of strategies.
I am completey dissappointed about the strategy; maybe bad timingn when I started beginning of Feb 2021; total loss so far 28%; increasing on daily basis; the published result values of +13,2% in Feb and -7,3% in Mar have nothing to do with reality! Of course the autotrading is not fully synchronized; however this big difference is strange.
Really wanted to like this system. Goes long and short with no over night holds however it's gone nowhere over this year and at $200.00 per month I expect more. Will keep it on my watch list though
