Collective2 rates every trading system creator in its database and assigns a score between 100 and 1000.
In general, a rating above 500 is good. A rating above 700 is excellent.
Collective2 Ratings are recalculated daily based on the entire performance history in our database. The exact formula we use is proprietary, but there are several key variables that go into the Collective2 Rating.
One of the most important factors is the length of time we have been able to observe the performance of the trader.
Another key factor is the amount by which the trader over-performs or under-performs the S&P 500 index.
Finally, the choppiness of the trader's results is taken into account. Certainly a more consistent system creator will be rated more highly than a system creator with erratic results.

Dear Subscriber, One position is being closed as only one position should have been opened at yesterday's close. One position remains LONG. This was either a software glitch or human error. Apologies.

The system signalled an exit at today's close for a loss. The first losing trade in 7 trades). It's possible that the situation in Italy gave the markets cause for concern and tomorrow we see a bounce.

Apologies for the late delivery of this signal. I have been travelling overseas and the time differences make it difficult.
This system has too few trades. And if you look closely at the stats avg win and avg loss is about the same but extremely high win rate. If win rate decrease towards 50% drawdown and performance will suffer significantly.
Rebuttal, posted on May 2, 2013 by system developer:
Lots of people don't think it makes too few trades which is why they subscribe to it. It makes too few trades for you perhaps.
Also, your review say 'If win rate decreases' that is totally hypothetical.

I started auto-trading this system just after the major loss of 5/4/2012, so, although the system trades infrequently, all 4 subsequent trades have made a profit. Quite laudable! I've placed an automatic stop-loss of $2,000, but haven't had to "invoke" it yet. I recommend this system.

Awesome system!!! Although it doesn't trade much, it handily beats the market & just about everything else out there. With an 11 year track-record, this is a proven money-maker over time! This is one of two systems that I actually trade on C2.

After waiting almost four months for a signal we certainly were not disappointed with the outcome of the first signal of the year. It was well worth the wait.

sp500-trading.com is a rare consistent moneymaker (trading futures) on Collective2, with a solid 2 year record. Due to the nature of it's buy oversold/sell overbought strategy, it does get into some deep drawdowns on occasion, so if you can live with the drawdowns, I would strongly recommend this program.

I chanced to visit this system provider website on Nov/6/2009, the website has a simple message
Are there any better systems of this type out there? I have not been able to find any but if you can let us know.
Till date my search continues,

With a brief experience so far, I can give no better evaluation perhaps than that I have my money with this vendor. His communication is timely and forthright. And much appreciated. Above all, RESULTS are encouraging!
