8/14 - consistent return except for one huge hick up in April 2007. However, $150 pricing is for single contract which will take about 20% out of profit if the system performs as it has in the past. (Most likely it won't, thus risk / reward here is significantly less then first appears. This makes it one of the priciest systems on this site. On the other hand I like the approach of not keeping positions overnight and simple exit rules. I like vendor's information on his web site http://www.trademaid.info/systemsrtstatements.htm Due to excessive drag due to high subscription fees I will pass on this one.

started watch 8/13. Seems like at 4x scaling it should be interesting. No long consecutive losses observed, probably due to short trading history.

2/13 - gut wrenching is it dead or is it another drawdown? 10/17 - now I am green with envy and definitely not glad that I suspended trading, The system has reversed the slide as fast as can be imagined. It gained almost $30k in less than 2 weeks. However, with the rest of my portfolio totally decimated in the latest market moves II have much less "play money" available. 9/30 - I am glad I have suspended trading. After vendor made adjustments to the system to adapt for greater volatility of the markets, the system is continuing its slide, wiping out gains all the way back to May time frame. Very disappointing. Suspended 9/22 - dramatic loss of value in short period of time. Lost everything I have made during the year and then some. This happened during high volatility period with Lehman failing, AIG rescued, gold shutting up 18%. Dow moves up and down by more than 3% Subscribed 8/7 - after three week pause it seems like the system did not die. I am no longer trading IB/TradeBullet set up and using OpenECry now. Unsubscribed 7/18 after very bad loss. For more data info see robdubik.blogspot.com July 2 - WARNING - trading suspended after 8 consecutive losses. June 3 - After a short burp in may back on track. The only problem remains is auto-trading set up that I have. It is very demanding and it is not as easy as at appears at first. Too many things to go wrong. Be prepared to spend some time on learning all the settings and quirks and try to adopt. subscribed May 19th.

7/31 Glad I got out - dead Unsubscribed May 25 Resumed May 21 Suspended trading on May 8. System suffered 5 consecutive losses, the worst in 6 month (which is as far back as I have records for). I am suspending my trading today. Likelihood of 5 consecutive losses in a loosing streak, given it is a loosing streak, is only couple of percent. I will be watching if the system returns to a more reasonable win/loss distribution. For more data info see robdubik.blogspot.com Subscribed since May 1.

9/30 - trader avoided jumping into market during crazy days of September.. suspended 7/18 after 3 consecutive losses. I think vendor is becoming emotional, leaving position overnight and hoping it will come back. For more data info see robdubik.blogspot.com subscribed since 2/1/08

6/27 I am glad I unsubscribed when I did. This one threads water for 10 months now. Not realistic return. Unsubscribed. Vendor changed tactics in February, now much fewer trades. However, return has not proven with this new way and I am not sure if this can be called the same system.

7/28/08 I can't see anyone hanging to it this long. I think it's dead. 6/27/08 We are again seeing that the system moves with market too much. correlation with S&P is now at 35%. My theory is that it is impossible to have a stock system with such a long average hold period that would not move together with the market. looks like 4.6 ave is long enough to make this system susceptible to downturns like we have from October on. Still waiting for Dr Koch to introduce fully auto trading system. May be waiting for a while since the system is coded in Wealth Lab and there may be some limitations which may prevent this from happening. As is the system requires a lot of manual adjustments because it is likely that your trading will get out of sync with the system. The system inputs a high number of limit orders into a broker until it exceeds margin requirements and the broker will no longer except the orders. There has to be a better way.

6/27/21 This was a 5 star system in 11/07 now its;s dead. This what system vendor wrote then: "I may be in a lull right now, but if you've been with me for a while you would be up. No system only goes up, and I've addressed limiting the larger" Here is my advice, cancel at first sign of trouble, no matter how nice the vendor is. It is your money! I picked this in November and a month later the system blew up. Classic example of past returns are not guaranty of the future. Pretty sure when I picked this one in Nov c2 stats were saying that probability of 20% loss was 0%. Just goes to show how wrong our calculations of probability are incorrect.

Cost is too high. There are multiple systems provided by this vendor and it sounds like the vendor would prefer to deal with them direct rather than through c2. Not sure if the reason for good performance is due to golds strong up trend. How it would do if gold gaps down or in down market anyone's guess.
