I must admit, this is probably the best system in C2 (which isn't saying much). YZ seems like a good trader but I think system probably carries more risk of tail event than YZ would like to admit. My biggest gripe is system owner should be TOS certified = skin in the game and a vested interest in system himself. If system blows up then there is no repercussion.

Risky system and ticking time bomb... after 2+ years with no hick-ups, blew 27%+ hole in just 2 months. I think all system owners should be TOS certified = skin in the game. I can't run a system where the system owner doesn't have a vested interest in system himself.

Very risky system... Even though it mostly trades 1 and 2 lots, for anyone considering running it be prepared to lose 25k or more on any single trade and it has happened once already in system history.

I have yet to see a Forex system with an edge.. and Durango isn't an exception and bound to revert to mean. I think all system owners should be TOS certified = skin in the game. If they are not trading their own system = worthless!

I don't know exactly how this relation works but most of the time when the traders get greedy and increase their subscription price the curve starts heading south. Look at EUReka V

Great communication. Great market knowledge. System seems to just have lost its mojo.

I started with this system a couple months ago. The performance was outstanding. Too good. In fact, I was anticipating some period of draw down. Well it happened and it was ugly. In less than 2 days, I lost 20% of my account. What I noticed was that the losing trades were coming fast and furious...like revenge trades, with the obvious result. Several of those losing trades would have turned profitable had they not been dumped just before things reversed. I would recommend anyone using this system to protect your profits and not rely on the trader to do so.

if you want to run this system prepare yourself to bear huge drawdowns. SL are used only seldom and they are very large anyway. if you want a smooth path, this is not for you.

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.

I think in the last 3 months the system went out of phase with the market and vulnerabilities are evident. Before that, performance was great. I think that if the (skillful) developer reforms the system and fix the vulnerabilities, the system has the potential to have good performance, filter out bad times and be 5 star worth. Worst case, it's better to be out of the market and wait for better fishing season. Until then I'll be keeping an eye on it and hoping for its comeback.

I generally agree with previous review. 17 months on C2, only two of them losing, CAGR currently at 84%, and no monthly subscription fee. Only uncertainty is how the system will do in a longer term declining market, but that question also applies to most systems on C2. Definitely worth a look!

This is an amazing system. Juan *clearly* knows what he is doing. This is much more of a long-term investment strategy, rather than a trading strategy. Everything about it is first class!

Since both of the vendor's other two systems are known to occasionally hold on to losses for a long time and run up large drawdowns I was hoping that this system would be different. Now it turns out that he is again using the hold and hope strategy. Too much aggravation, not worth for me to continue.

In fact, this system went well until market was cooperating, when market turned sentiment it could not adapt and took a huge series of losses.

This system was good until January when it started taking excessive risks with trades clearly against trend without proper SL. Some recovered but only luckily and some took a huge loss. Now there is another bad loss still open. And this can only get worse.

I like Andrea. He will quickly respond to messages and plus he keeps his subscribers up to date with emails. Now, the question is how many stars do I give a system that I have been trading for 6 months and have lost money? I hope the system can start working again soon.

I think the reason why the vendor got constantly whip-sawed during the last three and a half months is that he is trying to avoid day trading to protect people with small, non margin accounts. I think he should create another system, either with futures or one requiring a larger account balance so he is free to get out of or reverse positions whenever it becomes clear during the trading hours that he is on the wrong side of the market. Otherwise I might not renew my subscription.

If we buy and hold in the past 12 months SPY gains almost 20% and SSO gains almost 40%. Be careful, we may get in big trouble than we think.

As recently reported this system is very risky. Took a long on the morning of FOMC and added a second position 16 pts lower that morning going into the report. This trade ended up positive but could easily be a huge loss with the unpredictable results from FOMC. Also, 3 days later doubled down on another 14 pt loser and saw it go another 30 pts in your face. MOVED the stop lower. That shows irresponsibility! This type of trading will result in a major loss, it is just a matter of time.

The system entered long just before the market moved down and stayed with it to wait for the rebound, but it exited just before the big move up next couple day. Good timing! The big draw down will occur in the Future, just don't know when, but it will.

61% win rate is not even 2 out of 3 which is quite poor really.

Normally the recent performance speaks for itself. I joined for 2 months and it has been a disaster. The market is in correction mode and the trades are long, even worse, the system wait for market to rebound and then went long, only to see the market went down again. It may seem the developer read the chart upside down and every trade went against the market. I thought Futures trading would be exempt from market correction and it will take what the market gives. I've been with C2 for 4 years and haven't seen any winning system yet. I seems most good systems will have a few months initial good performance and then starting loosing after attracting some subscribers. This system is NO exception.

The problem with fully automated systems like this one is the market is constantly trying to work around them. Eventually these systems fail as is obvious if you look at the trade pattern when the market shifts character. A good system needs a discretionary element controlled by a human.

This is an excellent trend following system with defined stop losses, responsible money management, and excellent communication and strategy sharing from the developer. When the market is not trending and is volatile, like in the Fall and Winter of 2013/14, the system has not done well. During a sideways market, the developer should consider 1) remaining all cash, 2) trading low size to avoid large draw down from consecutive losses, or 3) reducing the trading time frame and even day trading the system when appropriate.

STS may turn out to be a fine system. But for someone with a substantial stock position the risk profile may be a poor fit. With up to 150% stock exposure, this system can fall hard as in the selloff beginning 1-17-14. System trades frequently and seems to hold on to losers longer than winners. It may do well in the long run, but a bear market could be painful.
