CRUDE OIL - QCL
Great risk controlled disciplined system. Time will tell but so far very happy.
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.
BOB DYLAN SP500
The leader did not trade for 3 weeks...not sure if this strategy is still supported!
Carma Stocks
I've been following the system for about half a year. It seems to perform well in all market conditions.
Sage Volatility Margin
4 stars b/c review is after only a few weeks. Otherwise 5 stars.
The system is smart b/c the signal provider is very smart!
Read the description, look at the results, and then do what is smart (sign up).
Simplicity Trading
so far so good. the system seem to buy every dip on ES, then if ES futures rebounds he buys STOXX50 because most likely EU market will follow US market. So far every dip in the stock market has been rally back, so there is never any draw down or loss yet. Don't really know how good this strategy is until the BULL market is over or at least when the stock market doesn't only go up after 1-2 down days.
CkNN Algo
Fantastic system. I have been trading since August, 2016 in a different account. It is supposed to be purely algorithmic. It is long-only and IRA friendly, although it goes long and short via the ETF's it trades. It trades DUST and NUGT, which are not common investment vehicles on C2, and theoretically not correlated with VIX products and broad indices. Do I like it? Well, I am paying for two subscriptions...
R Option Mini
Before trading this, I was on R Option (the larger version) for a few months. All around, Mario is really helpful, and willing to chat about how best to approach his systems. So far, I am pleased with the results of the systems and the way in which risk and profit are managed.
Quant Models Volatility
After about 2 weeks of subscription to Quant Models Volatility, the returns have been pretty good, only reason I have not given 5 stars is that I've been subscribed only 2 weeks. Any time I send a message to the system developer I get a fairly prompt response that is informative and to the point. I plan to stay with this system long term.
Simplicity Trading
Great start on C2, but still a young system. Trades futures on European and US indices, providing some diversification. Trades very selectively, so limited market exposure. Trade leader is responsive to inquiries. Hopefully outstanding performance will continue in different market cycles. Time will tell!

I have subscribed many models since I joined C2 almost 2 years. I am very happy the way he manages his acct. He let the profit run and cut when there is significant pressure. He just manages his acct perfectly. Btw, u should prepare when the market against ur position but his risk n rewards are acceptable for my risk profile. Another thing, this is the example how the manager is making real money from his trade, not from his subscribers fee. I also like , he has long records since 2014 and never change his trading style. His style works in every conditions. In summary, I will keep his model for long term. Nice job
IntradayVolTradStrategy
My trades match his perfectly, no slippage. Consistent daily gains with Chris's algo. . 4-5 winning trades per day. 92% winning % & RARELY holds trades overnight. This is a real, daily income generator. Winning in up AND down days with XIV. Quick trades at the right time. I hope it continues to do well. The owner is very insightful & takes the time to explain how/why this strategy works. My favorite strategy right now.
4QTiming FutNQ
Very happy with the quality of this strategy. Sound trading plan with stops. Good backtest, Quick replies. 5 stars.
Sage Volatility IRA
I trade now some months with Samart Volatility. The Long and the Short version.
Of both I am very content. Also about the communication with David Juday.
Dow2Gold
There's a big hole in my pocket. Stop losses?
Volatility Returns
Even after the big hit we took in May, I plan on owning this strategy for years to come. Just look @ how well it did over the last 12 months. He handled the bump in April quite well. The owner makes it well clear this is a volatile strategy & you need to be prepared for some ups & downs. If you have a few years left before retirement, definitely consider investing a small portion of your portfolio in this strategy.
MCProTrader
I have no idea why I allowed myself to get caught up in subscribing to this one. Its performance is pure luck. It simply sells naked out-of-the-money UVXY calls and let's them expire. During the spike of 2014, I would've lost up to 4x my account value, depending upon when my position was closed by the broker. There is no hedge against that risk whatsoever; therefore, its performance numbers look great. This is why there is no free preview to allow you time to realize what you did.
Volatility Returns
Clear disclosure of risk given excessive returns.
Would like to see it back tested further to understand performance pre 07. Would like to understand risk per trade better, where the actual stop is etc because black swan event could wipe out completely. Remember can always get back into trade. Otherwise good let's make some moolah!!!
SMTiming VR Daily
This is a very good, consistent, conservative VIX trading system. Good #'s this year so far, low DD.
At $99.00 , this would be a 4* review. At this time it is free, thus, it deserves 5* in my opinion. Excellent "value". Especially after it handled the recent mid-May XIV pullback. I hope this strategy continues to do well & the creator is able to get paid for his/her hard work. I plan on keeping it even when they start charging, as I like the idea of having several VIX strategies in my portfolio.
Event Hunter
Recently the trades are based on "cut the profits short, let the losses run and add to the losing trades" principle, which should be the opposite, in my opinion. You can see this from constantly decreasing profit factor. And I strongly believe the trades are not based on events as the vendor suggests. This is just another system started strongly but continues to perform poorly. Be careful with the risks involved (too many trades and therefore too many exposure, adding to losing trades, cutting the profits short etc.).
Growth 500
Excellent strategy, very active and knowledgeable trader
Event Hunter
I personally don't like his trading style. I prefer traders that trade in a limited number of securities; I believe he trades in way too many markets. I am letting my subscription lapse and wish him the best.
Volatility Returns
I don't think the owner gives himself enough credit. He constantly warns of potential losses someday and reiterates this is a "long-term" strategy, but then turns what could've ( should've ) been an April loss into a 29% gain? At $99 a month, this is still a bargain. I plan on having this strategy be part of my portfolio indefinitely. They say the "big drop" will happen again someday in the VIX, but if you've been lucky enough to own this strategy since the beginning of the year, you are already $ ahead in my opinion, your investment has doubled. This guy KNOWS what he's doing.
Volatility Fusion
Seems a robust volatility strategy, backtested from 2004 so we can see the satisfactory behavior during 2008 crisis. 4 stars only because of an abnormal trade which caused a bigger loss than expected recently and because there is no progressive position entry or output.
24K Longs
Careful with this one - it is volatile. Wide intraday swings as this is an "all in" system utilizing most all the strategies capital using 3x ETF leverage. Scale down early rather than later.
SVXY Timer
Seems like a good system and CJ has a professional attitude towards his work and provides good information on market conditions affecting the system. The recent drawdown of 25% has spooked some customers, but it's typical os volatility systems doing over 70% yearly.
