Subscribing to this system

Pay for performance. Subscriptions cost $199 at the end of each month, but only if the system has made profitable trades. (Note that a "month" is a 30-day period. That is, you are billed only if the last 30 days that you have subscribed are profitable. So it's safe to subscribe at the end of a calendar month; you'll still get 30 days' worth of trades.)

Reviewer: AutoTrader of system

Since I joined over 3 months ago, the win ratio has dropped to 50%, and the system has lost money, including fees. Like another review says, the losers are bigger than the winners, and the trades go against the trend, when sometimes the trend is unstoppable. With such trade management, each entry has to be spot-on, to keep the high win ratio. The lateest trade, the vendor just entered too soon (short ER2 at open at 688), and then held on (despite going 5 points into profit at one stage) without even moving the stop. Eventually the ER2 uptrend resumed, and we got sw [Show Entire]

The System doesn’t works now. I think it would be better to choose another system. The average per winning trade is 1200$ and the average per loosing trade is 1533$ in the last four month. But the win/loss ratio drops from 80% to 50%. It was a very gut system, but it would be better to wait until the win/loss ratio arises again to 75%.

The trader tries to do a good job catching counter trends, and while the profitable trades to loses is exceptional over a 12 month period, the risk to reward seems (or at this time of this review) to be out of skew which may be as a result is showing more frequent losses in recent months plus the change in market dynamics in recent months as well might be posing an issue - not sure.

Reviewer: AutoTrader of system

A few other systems I subscribed gave much better results than this, and cost 1/2 to 1/3 of the price only. If it charges $199 per month with infrequent trade signals, I would expect the prob of win is > 85%. This proves that higher price does not mean better! I think that I would have traded better by just flipping a coin than by using this system. So I've un-subscribed it and never looked back again.

System Description

The system developer writes:








Have fun is a discretionary method, trading ER2. This is a swing system. This system makes a few transactions per month. An average duration of one signal can vary from a few hours to two-three days. I strongly believe that a high number of transaction is not necessary to obtain good results. I always look for transactions which give a high probability of success.

I always protect my open position (even if I don’t send stop loss order immediately). I am a defensive trader, which means that I always protect my capital first and only then try to earn some money.

All signals are posted during CME session.
I only use market orders and stop orders. I never use limit orders.
My goal is a steady growth of account with reasonable DD.

MM should be adjusted personally.

Important limitations about performance statistics on this page (back to top)
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
If you are interested in the technical details of how we determine hypothetical trade prices, you may read this technical description.
