An oddity - and one of my competitions. Currently highly-regarded although success is quite short. I'd like to know how he got his following at Yahoo Group. Posts trades for 6 months and then starts C2 system. Has many followers.

Per subscriber reviews system - along with TMD:Trader (both "top competition"), trades abandoned for loss (probably used dangerous "averaging down" technique). These systems may have *looked* like huge winners, but equity curve gave a tell (gains can't be perpetuated).

Previous Review:

Big $$$ maker at C2. After initially running up a successful enough track record - got a LOT of attention and then waffled for nearly 14 months - while subs kept paying! I had guessed that this one would blow up. I was wrong.

09-May-2009 Update: Chris did a monster job during the most difficult year-long period imaginable - not only NOT losing initial huge gains, but putting on an additional 25%. . .a remarkable achievement if one wants to trust a vendor with a long term HIGH CAGR - compounded over multi-year (more than one) periods.

He now has moved up an additional 100k from 200k or 33% in about a month. Can Mr. Freeman still deliver in the next 12-24 months. Might want to put your $$$ where your heart is;)

Review Update: 27-Nov-2009

I believe my system(s) will eventually show progress in this manner.

Review Update: 15-May-2010

2010 market is wildly volatile and this system is vacillating (imo) excessively, for said period. Still top C2 system, but is not currently accepting subscribers.

[Using this system for additional comments to make comments]

So many systems. . .
What is a TRUE "success"? [See My Story above]

C2's TOP (long-term) systems labeled below.
See My Labels: "#1" through "#10"

Been here a year, time to clean this page up. My take...you can pretty much tell system from equity curve - and precious few systems can stand the test of time.

WATCH mine, they most certainly do!

Remember: of 10,000 systems that roll into C2 and abroad, just 5-10 can last more than 2 years - and of these only about 5 are able to be traded continually with stellar results for 5 years or more.

Here is THE Litmus Test ["My (current) Top 10 Competition"]: Go to "The Grid", screen All Systems, 730 days (2 yrs.), then sort by Annual Return. After eliminating a few for obvious reasons (<50% max drawdown): these are the absolute best TRUE (long-term) "winning" SUCCESSFUL systems!

My systems have been moving ahead of this one - so I am looking to see if curve can be sustained (the "competition"). Review Update: 27-Nov-2009 Eventually, fell out of favor.

Obviously the market threw a wrench into system - although not failed - certainly not completely worked through, yet. Keep an eye on this bevy of systems going forward. My best guess is a good/excellent vendor will provide long term value and go tot he next level. Review Update: 27-Nov-2009 Many of vendor's systems *still* "the competition".

Previous Review: Legacy? OK This vendor been here a good long while. Has a website and somehow conjures SO MANY VIEWS - it is most popular at the top of list on homepage for a long while (before mvp-3). I mean what isn't there to like? 100k straight up to 130k. And then month after month with no progress. A long doldrum for subscribers entirely NOT in keeping with stated goals. So it flies up and then plummets and then abandoned as new systems - no doubt racking up subscription fees - started with (perhaps) better results. Time will tell if vendor has learned anything. Review Update: 27-Nov-2009 Had a season of success - but that ended. Other venture also short-lived (can only produce short-term gains).
