This is a tremendous strategy and allows you to ride the trends in the market! With the correct position sizing, this is a great strategy to be subscribed to.

Not work for me, Very risk. This leader have multiple strategies. All almost gain small mounts, but if one of then lost, if not can up again. Then block strategy to private. MYM far from is a example, This strategy have people with autorade, all lost money, the strategy was broke. I dont see this in the record in strategys details. All this strategies appear low risk, but you can not see the record of strategies broke.

I joined this strategy about the 2nd week in October which at the time was looking quite promising. Unfortunately from that date forward it has lost money which seems to be a reoccuring theme for me on C2. The backtest on this strategy is promising and this could just be a rough patch for it most certainly, but I need more time to evaluate before I let it trade my money.

Massive DD

The problem with this strategy is that his return don’t really show the reality.

When you hold A short leverage position of 2X you pay high fees.

His returns in your broker will be like -20% of what you see just because of fees

Not very active on the daily trades, but seems to return. A solid number.

Not very active, but consistent.

this is an excellent long term strategy , run by a very responsive real person investing his own money and making a success of it over years. surviving many years and thriving for most. good catastrophe hedging as well. most recommended

A very good risk manged strtagy, I must say he is the best

I'm only writing a review to actually get the notification to write a review to go away. You should ignore this, but I will say they are one of the better performing strategies at least.

The best Stratgy is C-2

Do not be mislead by the return numbers. If you look at the max drawdown in October unless you continually added capital to cover maintenance requirements your account would have been wiped out. If you look at other strategies by this manager you will see several have ended poorly. Luckily I got out with only losing about 20% of my investment in October 2020. Also very slow to respond to messages. Not worth the huge subscription fee either.

Excellent risk management for momentum trading. The trader has a cool head, keeping losses relatively small, and letting winning trades play out. I've seen other futures scalpers double down on losses, which will always, eventually blow up - but, I've not seen that risky behavior here. Great work, and thanks for the gains. That was an awesome trade this morning!

Lost thousands of dollars. Poor risk management. I am training to be a pro trader and I cannot lose more than 1% of my firm's funds at any time. That is a hard rule for many pro traders. These amateur-style algorithms on C2 can lose more than 10% in one day, triggering margin calls, which make staying in advertised trades realistically impossible. Tried programming stop losses to prevent capital loss in Interactive Brokers, but IB has extremely limited quantities after hours (even at 4:30pm!) unlike other trading platforms. Your stop losses will not be respected, will not fill.

I am happy to be inside :). There are some days when the NASDAQ goes down
and this strategy goes up.
I have never seen such a consistent & profitable trading style with stocks before.

Been good lately. Need to have a loose stop cause this bot will keep holding way past support breaks.

This strategy was working well for a while. There is no downside risk protection with stop loss and too optimistic on long index trades. Move up was slow and steady but the falls are sharp. Losing 10% so far not adding fees.

jury out.

One of the few systems which day trades stocks successfully. Entries are usually in first 30 minutes of market open and near close so can be manually traded. There is always risk with any system but this one is somewhat mitigated as no over night trades and usually a mix of long and short

Exceptional.

A failed trading system.

A good example of a ticking time bomb strategy. How do you have a dozen plus months of positive returns and then lose more than 80% of allocated capital over the course of a week or so? Reckless risk management, doubling down on each loss with larger bets in an attempt to claw back. It works until it blows up spectacularly.

Unfortunately a failed system with a poor track record.

Very good strategy with low risk. The traders are very experienced and know how to minimize losses and maximize gains.

Exceptional

got to set a wide stop loss because this will stay in the trade way after it should exit

Exceptional

Strategy developer doesn't respond on any questions, and doesn't keep smooth risks along time which cause significant potential of loss. I'm very unsatisfied with the strategy and its developer.

Scary drawdown

I manage several algo/AI strategies for a private investment group, but we don't trade leveraged ETF's. Thought I'd give this strategy a try and subscribed in early September, based on track record up to that point. Well, Sept-3 was worst timing ever to sign up for a strat that primarily longs TQQQ, but rode out Sept and now we're halfway into Oct, already recovered Sept losses and up around 12% overall.

For better or for worse, this strategy does NOT intraday trade. Almost all positions are opened/closed right at end of trading day. Before I set this strategy to auto-trade, I traded every new signal manually, and often got a better entry/exit prices (and therefore returns) then the strat by a) waiting until post-market to enter a 50% position at a better price, and b) if price moved further against the strat position overnight, I would enter 2nd 50% of my position at an even better price. If price moved in favor of strat, then I would just trade that original 50% position.

However, the point of auto-trade is just to turn it on and not mess with it. And this strat's monthly ROI speaks for itself. While you can choose to manually override signals (as I did), it requires more work, AND at that point you can no longer depend on the strat track record as YOU are modifying the strategy.

Pros:
- Good communication from strategy manager
- Great ROI track record
- Built in stoploss logic (it will exit intraday if SL reached)
- It holds through volatility that most humans (and a lot of algos) would not, usually to its advantage

Cons:
- No intraday or trailing stop, so your position can tank massively through the day and you just eat it (unless all profit erased AND stop loss hit). That's obviously built in to still great ROI track record, but hard to watch when it's happening!
- Not sure yet how this strat will do in sideways/down market, as while it DOES long SQQQ, it seems to definitely be biased, both in position size and hold time, toward a bull market.

Bottom line is you can't argue with results. Someone will ALWAYS complain about something with ANY strat, but this is the best strat on C2 at the moment, and there's not really any arguing that.

Very well managed strategy with great communication from the strategy leader. I'm quite happy with its performance and it's worth every penny. I'd definitely recommend this strategy.

Really really bad, run fast and far.

Good communication from the strategy manager, which is much appreciated (especially explanations after some big losses). Had a few negative weeks, which apparently some people are not happy with, but it's always going to happen. Hopefully they didn't bail, as we just finished at the top EOW we've seen. Looking forward to riding this one out.

too much of DD and without stop loss.

Disagree with comments below regarding strat manager looking to take in subs without executing. Clearly someone more akin to a gambler needing his trading fix then someone with a long-term view or caring to review the statistics. I have been a sub for 3 months and highly impressed with the strategy. With its minimal capital useage and short-term trading style it makes an excellent overlay strategy. The Sharp, c2 rank, corr to SPY, Sortino are all highly impressive.

Consistent

TQQQ-SQQQ always-in-the-market systems work nicely... until they don't. Their good performance relies upon low volatility and a longer term trending market which falters during more volatile and sideways markets, thus the recent decline and choppiness of this strategy. It seems attempts to modify this strategy in response, as the developer is attempting, rarely succeed since once the market reverts back to trending and low vol, the new parameters also do not work, thus extending poor performance.

Terrible strategy. Doesn't work for Intraday. Stay away!!!

YMMV

September is Negative, But Still Manager is proactive in responding over all.

Proceed with Caution. Very high drawdown.

Started to fail as soon as I joined, trade leader then stopped TOS which is a bad sign. The strategy is much better suited to an up-trending market. Trade leader created another strategy called Juice is Loose which adds in inverse leveraged funds, gave it to us for free, it failed, he unsubscribed us then restarted the system again a few weeks later with the bad trades erased somehow. Don't fall for that one, either.

Lost huge money (20%) . Since the AI does Market Open trades, you loose huge when it buys at higher price. I was able to cut losss manually by turning of auto trade and watch TQQQ to place trades. Please stay away. I would suggest set Alerts on TQQQ to see if it drops 15% buy and sell once it gains 15-20%. using SQQQ and TQQQ alert on your broker you are able to place better trade than AI. Lesson learned. Don't look at past returns. Look closely Septemeber.

Excellent system! Every trade is 1 contract with a stop loss and profit target, only daytrades for reduced risk and lower margins. The developer trades it with his own money and is very responsive to questions.

A very solid strategy with excellent daily gains and the risk is very well monitored.

I've traded many Collective2 systems and have been very happy with the Alpha Capital Compound strategy. As with anything there are ups and downs, but the positions are managed well and I feel quite comfortable recommending the strategy. Thanks!

I don't think the strategy is well optimized to detect after market movements

Not doing well in a pullback.

I joined in September, so my experience is in a crazy month.
The idea that I had to close positions to save my money, because the strategy had open positions against the market, it really not worth it.
I expect that someone will be there and see if his system is not good, it's better to shut it down and not let your subscribers lost money.

A disciplined and consistent futures system. I’ve been with it for 3 months now and intend to keep it for the long term. The developer is very helpful answering questions and providing information. This was especially valuable during the recent drawdown, which has now mostly been recovered.

Thsi dude is A joke

It's hard to find better risk reward scenario than technical analysis driven short term future trading, especially when done by Colin. While I wish the algo traded more frequently, this has very good sortino and profit ratio.

Doesn’t do enough trades so if you join you might be waiting for weeks to get in

I had joined the strategy due to the excellent performance through the Feb/ March sell off and incorrectly assuming such risk management would be applied going forward but during this very quick Sept sell-off (QQQ -11% MTD) the strategy has been slow to exit positions and quick to add them at highs, to then stocks pull back again. Such price action is typical of a momentum strat that can easily can whipsawed around during choppy periods vs a long trending market. I wish the strategy manager the best but after (in my a/c) +2% high returns vs -11% max DD in ~2 months I am calling it a day.

There's a lot of issues here. Risk management disappeared when in a drawdown and strategy soon turned into hope resulting in the system cratering

So the TQQQ is 40% higher then this startgy from when it started

Pure garbage he expects a 35% drawdown or WORSE IN HIS OWN WORDS! Don’t join.
Much safer systems with good returns out there.

I lost $11,000, or 11% of my account in one month. After the first 10,000 loss, I put in a manual stop loss on Collective2's platform. It worked, but then stopped be out of winning trades. I tried making it larger, and the stop loss stopped working, and the trade fell through -4,000 in one day. Collective2 emailed me and said they are having technical issues and are so sorry it gliched and lost all my money. They need to fix these kind of issues. I was really hoping I could leave this for a month and make money. Apologies don't refund monthly fees or bring back $11,000.

The author seems to be more interested in collecting subscription fees rather than providing good service. He currently has TWELVE systems all of which trade infrequently and that too only in a handful of securities each.

Break even after 8 months. Moved out of the way when market showed clear shorting op. and made some back vs losing another 5%.

No Risk Management. Stay away

Well... as I suspected... again, a strategy that tries to catch a falling knife at our expense. Lost all my several months gains in short order.

Changed strategy as soon as I joined, not based on much of anything at this point, I'm out.

The worst system I’ve ever joined. Dropping like crazy with no risk management. I’m leaving.

Blowing up. Tears.

Very talnted trader knows when to stay out of the markets!

Total disaster. He destroyed everything he had gained in a coupe of days of uncontrolled trading. A total amateur! Stay away if he did not run away already

Not a bad strategy overall, through I tried to trade it within a registered retirement account (that doesn't allow to short positions) thus I stopped subscribing

Negative Treynor Index . Only EOD (end of day) Trades with very High Risk in Down Market. Unsafe strategy!

Seems to be working right now.

Any Risk Management or coverage! Huge Loss. Any Plan for a Bear Market! Stay Away!

Great strategy!

Exceptional day

Questionable in a down trending market...

Exceptional lately!!!

It started really well for one month and then out of the blue he made a series of bad trades and disapeared, not responding any emails. So no trust at all.

Making money down mkt

HUGE loss.

(Ultra) low trading frequency asset allocation portfolio, holding several ETFs which each represents an asset class. I don't think this strategy will get subscribers on C2. First of all, (ultra) low frequecy trading, no trade singal, although the performace is fine, it cannot make appearance on Leader Board, then no one can find it. If they find it by any chance there is no past trading records people don't know what it is doing. Secondly a 50k portfolio charges you 1188 USD per year, that's 2.4% management fee. Speaking of the "management", it is referred to 2 or 3 times per year "rebanlance"... I can find this portfolio only because I am a fan of ARK ETF, and this is the only strategy which is holding one of the ARK ETFs on C2. ARK does the pick for this strategy as the exposure to stock market part of the portfolio, then you still pay to this manager 1188 USD per year because he "rebalance" the whole portfolio handfully a few times per year or not even doing anything... You must be very rich to make that decision. In contrast, there are quite a few similar more active asset allocation portfolio on c2 is running for free or less than 500 USD per year with competitive or even better performance. The fact is, in this covid-19 crazy market, nobody knows what is the best asset allocation "balance".

Crazy volatility 8/30 - 9/2/2020. Is this a trader issue or a C2 issue? Beware

ok

ES future swing strategy works well so far.

Excellent SPY credit spread strategy

Best QQQ strategy on C2

Great strategy in terms of risk/reward, with minimal drawdown, but now traded infrequently, which limits the possible upside.

Doing very well with the market.

Very good quality VIX shorting strategy, implemented via VXX. Watch out for sudden vol spikes.

Just saw the message from the administrator who believes that his system is due for a crash of 35% or more(which to me says up to 100%) he has had a great run as many systems have in this bull market but seems to be getting cold feet. I’m honestly very nervous of the advent of losing what can be 50% or more of my hard earned money. He gave the warning now it’s on you. Good luck.

When I entered this, it immediately went bananas.

A good VXX shorting strategy.

He blew off an excellent first month and went under the radar, no more communication with subscribers. A clear signal he is not committed to his strategy.

Very good last few days.

Mixed feelings - Had sub'd due to the quite incredible stats of the stat but have pulled my sub due to a martingale strat being performed. Recommended account size is ~$50k but after trading 1x YM future ($140k notional) and a few losses it was scaled up to 2 lots, then 4 lots until a win to recover the losses. The strat holds onto positions for short times (less than 1hr but still I had 11.2x my account size exposure. Too hairy for my risk tolerance.....
