It would be good if the analyst could explain the strategy. Also, give brief introduction of the analyst whom we are following.

I guess you just have to admit that "power of the system". Sometimes the entry and stop loss may let you feel not comfortable or stupid but system eventually prove itself in the long run.

Nice strategy. Responsible SM. Cuts losses quick

Too erratic and no sense of stop loss

initially the strategy was good, slowly I feel like the strategy manager is not taking trades properly and making us lose money

So far, after 5 months, seems super solid. Up roughly 10%.

SteadyReturns has lived up to name of this strategy so far. The trades are not usually daily which is conservative on rocky market days. As such, you may need to increase the leverage to 200% in order to be able to gain/earn total monthly profits to clear your Collective monthly fee and the SteadyReturns monthly cost. It has to be worth the risk auto trading this strategy. I'm pleased with the results and equity curve.

IMHO, this strategy is overhyped. The drawdown to profit ratio is downright frightening. No stop losses, more throw on a trade before news & wait for recovery if wrong style strategy. It's not for everyone. If you prefer traders who wait for the best entries and make money getting great entries, this is not for you. Best if you do not monitor the account at all as drawdowns are downright shocking when compared to profits. For the bang for the buck, I've done much better with other strategies. I can add 4-6 quality strategies for the price of this one and have a better return. I will continue watching for improvement, but don't trust my funds with this strategy right now.

Great value strategy to get started with smaller accounts. As I use C2 longer, I find that I personally prefer focused strategies so I spread my exposure to more strategies, but this is a good one for a mixed bag of futures for one reasonable fee.

The manager takes a lot of pride in his trading and cares about doing well for subscribers which means a lot in this industry. Does have drawdowns, but turns a profit consistently over time. I took this strategy for CL exposure and have been very pleased. I started out limiting contracts to about half the strategy and while it was profitable, I suggest allowing full size. Be sure you are properly funded to take advantage of the full strategy. Looking forward to making more money together!

It's slower so if you're scaled down, it feels extra slow, but is fairly consistent over time. Personally, I prefer more aggressive strategies and was attracted to this one to balance those out a bit.

Very good Strategy and good trades..

Awesome trader.

Excellent trader. Knows how to trade well and be consistently profitable.

It's okay. Very slow so harder to make up the sub cost. I may have joined at the wrong time, but did not produce for me. Seems like an interesting strategy for someone who wants a variety of strategies and has more patience.

not taking trades as much as I expected

Absolutely not. I can blindly pick better than this strategy and they raised the monthly price! Lost 4K in 5 months. All talk no action.

Early days but happy with steady gains although only trade long so need to look alt short strategy also. TQQQ strategy can be scaled and adjusted accurately because its not futures but stock numbers can be fine tuned. This instrument is very liquid and not too volatile which limits violent swing which can result in losses.
Happy to recommend.

DONT FALL IN THIS TRAP !! ITS A TRAP !! HE WILL BLOW ALL YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY

He showed big profits before starting this auto trade and all subscribers fall in his trap. Now all his strategies are gone except Forex, that too in loss from last month.

Also I have subscribed for Options Trading and he hardly traded Options here. Committed that it will play 50% stop loss but hold trades even market is going other direction and din't closed.

It was biggest mistake to trust this guy and result is our portfolio is almost 0

good strategy for forex

Lost all the money invested in the strategy. It took just 3 months to completely burn out the whole portfolio.

Trash

100% Drawdown

I didn't realize that this manager has many other failed systems, many on abandoned accounts. That's not cool.

Do we have a negative star to provide for this strategy .No risk management

Strategy is performing as expected in both its description and its history. Nice to see! Thanks strategy manager!!!

Ensure the account is adequately funded and set up according to the strategy recommendation and leave it to the strategy .. it goes through ups and downs, but persistence pays off.

Terrible Trader!! Treats account as Lotto account... Careless, Stubborn, Not wiling to accept mistakes, Oversizing (going All in) in 1 trade, doesn't Stop Loss after seeing the trade isn't working per plan.. Expert in Blowing the account !!

Net Net ... Majority of trades sucks... The trader treats the account as Lotto trade.. He is just ensuring to maintain HFA1 account +ve to attractive new Subs.... Super BAD TRADER....

I am with this strategy since 2 months now and it works very well.
Thank you!

Worst strategy, always in opposite to market direction. They say they have a team, not sure who is trading but paralyzed the accounts. In 3 months brought the accounts to 75%+ loss. No minimum common sense of trading, no stop losses, they don't follow any market sentiment always following some crappie algorithm they developed it seems and blindly following it. They post all cock and bull stories regarding all these losses and it looks like their conviction is to bring subscribed user accounts to 0 or negative ASAP. Also they say they won't repeat the last mistake and again and again repeat the same mistake, Do not to subscribe to any of this RC channels and save your hard earned money and have mental health, I would rate negative rating if such thing is available.

Thus far this has been a good strategy. I joined up at the right time after a pretty large loss, and within a few days the strategy has bounced back. The strategy manager seems to be communicative. I watched for a few months before joining and I liked how the manager would make daily moves and close them out with $300-$1000 in profit. That methodical trading was the reason I signed up.

Lost 90% of portfolio following this

Can't argue with the historical track record and statistics, so maybe it was bad timing on my part, but this strategy hit a serious losing streak in the middle of February.

Worst Strategy Manager. He bet and place orders more than the capital required and when inquire about this in Instagram post, he said that he will block me if I post any of this situation and asked me to keep adding more capital for every draw down. He already created several strategies that ended with 100% drawdown and he keeps creating new strategies with new name. He just lives off of your subscription fee. Subscribe to this strategy if you want to see your hard earned money vanishing in few days. Run away from this.

What is your problem, why you always go against the trend. The option flow can't be considered for future trades.

Account crashed with in a week( 60k), no stop losses.

Overall, the strategy is good, but the drawdowns also high, due to that profits are erasing fast, if the strategy owner think about it and implement the stoploss approach, this will be going to be best strategy for Futures, No doubt as per my analysis. Definitely I will return back after watching the strategy performance for few more months. Am not in loss after subscribing to this strategy.

I subscribe to several C2 systems and this is the one I have the most confidence in. It is expensive, but well worth it. The strategy manager communicates well -- both in private messages and periodic subscriber announcements. Highly recommended.

Poor execution of the strategy. Lost almost 70% in 2 months time frame.

Uses higher Leverage than I am comfortable with. (Per statistics it is using average of over 10 times and max leverage over 30ish)

One of the worst traders I've followed on Collective2.
Even one star rating is too much.
Risk and Money-management are non-existant.
Once the strategy has a DD, the trader just adds more positions...
DD is at 48% now with one single trade, equals to 50K loss.
Don't believe what the first reviewer wrote, just look at the chart.
It's nuts to incrase the scaling to 200% with strategy

I would rate -ve if there is an option. Please stay away from all RC trades. They are not a professional traders at all (they claim that they are). They always go against the trend thinking that they are the market drivers and burnt 70% of my capital. He comes back asks us to add some capital by telling that mistake that he did, it will not repeat. Just one or two days later, it repeats again. This shows his trading skills are poor than a novice trader. There is no stop-loss for any trade he takes. The successful trades are like $11, $50, $60.. may be a one in $$$ followed by a loss in $$$$, this one trade eats up all your again + capital. Waste of time, he is making fools that he is creating a second source of income for everyone but he is using our money to practice his trading skills. Better stay away!

Terrible risk management. Does not trade with trends and swings most positions.

Trader is very responsive and knowledgeable. Communicates with subscribers often and gives updates on positions, profit targets and trade reasoning. Profitable trader.

Trader does not use stop losses. This is inherently dangerous, much more with oil futures. He just hopes for the best. When inquired, he does not response. I would stay away clearly.

SUBSCRIBE IF YOU WANT TO WATCH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY VANISH QUICKLY. WHILE IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT MARKET WILL ALWAYS NOT WORK AS PER ONE'S EXPECTATION, THIS STRATEGY HAS THE WORST MANAGEMENT, DOES NOT HAVE STOP-LOSS STRATEGY AND OR SENSE OF MARKET TREND. PROFITS ARE MINIMAL WHILE LOSSES ARE EXTREMELY HUGE.

THEY LURED PEOPLE IN BY SELECTIVELY SHOWING PROFITS IN TELEGRAM GROUP WHILE ACTUAL STRATEGY IS ALWAYS IN LOSSES. STAY AS FAR AWAY AS I CAN.

I would rate 0 Star if there was an option,

Doesn't appear to be managing stop losses very well and not paying enough attention. Losing lots of trades in march (-10%) while holding a position at big negative balance (-$5000). Started making profits initially but lost everything in less than a week. Look at the performance by yourself. The recent losses shows that this strategy is not working anymore and heading towards wiping out all the gains it had in Jan and Feb. The strategy manager appears to be taking trades against the trend instead of riding along the trend. That itself a recipe for disaster.

He also burnt the money on two of his futures strategies (RC 103 and RC104) and advised his subscribers to subscribe to this Forex strategy to recover losses. See for yourself how he will recover. Instead of recovering he will burn your additional capital money for this strategy as well. Run, Run, Run away from this.

This is my account performance. Will update it every few weeks.
Negative -$ 732, plus -$ 400 subscription fees paid. Total loss: - $ 1132

Horrible ridiculous trading skills.!!

not upto the expectations

The manager is very careless with his trades. He has been making decisions based on his sentiments and not on charts or trends. He shorts futures on small accounts and doesn't bother closing it if the trade is not going in the right direction. I have had 2 instances when IBKR closed shorts in my account because of margin requirements because he let the trade go too long!!! Requirement was 30k to start but his bets required much bigger capital. I have chosen to walk away from this after seeing multiple bad trades for 2 months and loosing 13k of my hard earned money. Please don't blindly sign up with this strategy. This guys doesn't know what he is doing!!!!

Awesome strategy - 80% success trades.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. ALL HIS STRATEGIES ARE SUFFERING HEAVY LOSSES. Account is 50% negative in less than two months. His positive trades have very minor profits and negative trades have HUGE HUGE losses. All members are frustrated with his strategy over the last year in C2 and in the private telegram channel where he only shares trades with profits and hides the trades with losses. PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HIS MESSAGES IN TELEGRAM CHANNEL. HE AND HIS TEAM KEEP TRICKING GULLIBLE SUBSCRIBERS TO JOIN.

Horrible ridiculous trading skills.!!
Two months into the plan & account is negative (10000) as of 03/01.

Pls DONT subscribe! Members lost all their $$ as these guys don’t know to trade & make empty promises. They do not have or respect stop loss. Check their trades.
Don’t even think of signing up. The loss just keeps on mounting. They keep on sending one way messages they expect it to reverse course So moronic to let a position spiral into thousands of loss and then expect to reverse course. He takes $30,$70 profits and closes and on other side he does not close till it has ran course into thousands of $$’s. Even kids trade better!!! All the members are frustrated with their trading for the last one year with C2 & outside of C2!! RUN with your money

I personally believe this guy doesn't have a strategy, he was riding the wave, doing blind day-trading like I did (amateur) and lost money. I suffered losses due to the strategy operator's laziness as he was relying on auto-pilot in this volatile market. His results speak for themselves. He was buying at peaks and selling at bottoms, compare his position entries to TESLA chart, you will see yourself. Keep your money with you and don't let a lazy person burn your money for $80 per month + C2 monthly fees, you can burn it yourself better and you can let it out :)

This is my first Strategy even on this platform and I already lost $900 in one month. Mostly orders are buying at higher price and selling at lower price with Auto trade in this strategy.

Planning to switch to other one soon.

Thanks!

This strategy is not being maintained properly. Trades are open for too long. Losses are more and profitable trades are less. Trade manager seems not too serious about this plan

This is my account performance. Still negative after week 7 by 9.5K. Will update it every few weeks.

My portfolio gained more than 100% in the month of Jan, One of the smart trades I've met in my life

So far so good

The strategy is very bad. The manager does not respond to any queries. Lost more than 50% of capital in one month. He only posts the profit trades in telegram channel.

Best strategy on C2, assessment of risk/return ratio, consistent, robust, knowledgeable and honest leader. Highly recommend.

It is really doing good. I like the way they are investing in the Futures with a good plan.

Great strategy.

Great strategy.

If you’re looking for a consistent and drama-free portfolio then look no further than Blue Viper.

very poor management, drained all the money , very bad

The SuperProfit momentum trading model has been a very consistent profit generator for me. Profit range on average daily from $400 to $1,200 using 200%. Draw downs of concern are few and the trader manages the risk very well. Fits my comfort level unlike others C2 traders that I have tried, Well worth the monthly fee. Bravo! You might want to consider signing up with this SuperProfit money machine. The stats and the equity curve graph show the results. Beautiful upward smooth equity curve. :-)

This is the worst ever strategy you could find. Drained over 57%(drawdown) of total account of 30K in within a month. All 5 of his strategies of this strategy manager are in heavy loss. He only shows success in his telegram channel (broadcast type) tricking the gullible subscribers to join

The strategy manager did provide a free month right after I enrolled. The strategy was not for me

Very bad management. Doesn't manage stop loss & lost 40% of the account value on one trade. Keeps convincing the clientele that we need to wait & see results.

Some newbie operating this

WORST trader. I lost 12k (40% loss) within 1 month of using this trader's strategy. Stay away from this trader. There are plenty of very good strategies on collective2. Research and follow good strategies. I learnt my mistake very hard by following a bad trader.

Not a great strategy plan, too many losses than win

Poor performance

Doesn't appear to be managing stop losses very well. Losing lots of up and down swings while holding a position at big negative balance. Perhaps need to change to micro contracts until few profitable months so that averaging can be done. It us disheartening to sit in red even in 2nd month.

6 weeks in and the results are overwhelming. It will not always go like this, but it seems the manager understands what she is doing.

Aggressive contrarian trading style in daily futures contracts which is often profitable in the end BUT the strategies come with considerable large overnight or longer drawdowns. That was my experience. You must be considerably patient and control yourself during those nerve-racking spikes at times. Too much stress for me! If you are suited for the rock-n-roll trading gyrations, Trade Detector is eventually more often profitable and may be right for you. Good luck!

I had had high hopes for this strategy but have finally come to the realization after losing a great deal of money on many of these C2 strategies, that this concept just does not work and is very high risk. You do not know these people or their real intent or capability. I would have been better off losing money in this down market in a mutual fund.

Has many strategies all of them blow up

Negative gain Dec2022-Jan2023

The worst strategy. Big loss and the author did not respond

saw some good performance during 2020 but then it pretty much fell off after that.

Very Good!

Very Good!

Very Good!

Had lost everything ....
Why ? It works great at the beginning and then ....

Excellent results with low risks

Exceptional

Awesome strategy. Lots of wins and very few losses. Will continue to follow.

Great strategy with demonstrated returns and a very communicative manager!

good strategy

This strategy uses very low leverage. Low risk and steady gains.

There was great promise with Jim, and his strategy. I feel dupped, however.
It hasn't gone well at all as you can see from the serious draw-down for both his strategies.
Positives are that he used his own name; prior professional from ML--you don't see many on Collective2 using their own name.
He really should not be on Collective2 as an auto-trading service. He is trying to get subscribers, and this is not going well.
On several occasions, he has missed major market moves/action/events because he is not around, or golfing (he is retired)-do not auto-trade with him for this reason alone!!!
This is a timing strategy he created over many years. He tried 'selling' it to Hedge Funds, but they stated to him his strategy would fail and what he developed was not possible to achieve the returns he promotes, I think they were right, even though I think Jim thinks he can achieve them. He makes 'enhancements' after serious mistakes and failed trades. Ahhh, why so many enhancements, what can he possibly be doing, and 300 parameter and inputs to the formula--of course, he states it is all proprietary.
He honestly thinks he has found the holy grail.
Jim, spends 3 hours nightly crunching all the variables and inputs to come up with the next day's signals.
"My strategies take over 3 hours to calculate (218 Excel spread sheets) each evening"---wow!!!!
How did I get suckered into this nonsense, apparently a very sophisticated and time-consuming process, but he often will not place his own trade the next after all of this work. Again, no not auto-trade as he is very unreliable to even follow his own signals.
Be careful as he will send you continuously spreadsheet with all these brands new 'enhancements'-constantly tweaking; his yearly results are ridiculous and of course, & no-one can achieve what he is promoting. Professionals have told him this, and now he is on Collective2 willing to destroy your hard-earned money with no remorse.
This 'spreadsheet' seems to only serve the purpose as to pull in naive subscriber's (like myself). But we all know, disaster is lurking around the corner and these strategies all too often as we see on Collective2, hurt so many. They all blow up, they call it 'volatility'. In the beginning he didn't seem to have any problem promoting how great his strategy was performing. As predictable, of course, when his strategy suffered serious losses--the messaging and propaganda changed in his nightly updates. He quickly changed his promises and promotional garbage.
I hope he does well and will follow only peripherally.
I am hurt he banned me from posting/making comments in his activity/social feed for no reason-I was never harsh and asked legitimate questions. He is concerned his only subscriber might comment on the problems that have developed.
Lastly, Jim claims he is following both his strategies with $250,000 for each--that may be true. Perhaps, he needs to get his TOS certification, so subscribers know he is really following this 'hedge' fund quality signals as he says he is. Ultimately this is all on me, never follow anyone unless they have TOS and they are trading their own money. Don't follow anyone that has a spreadsheet that shows annual returns that you know, are simply impossible. It is just typically a means to lure you in!!
Bottom line, stay away!!
