Exhibited 45% win ratio and NEGATIVE profit during my subscription period. Managed to lose 2% of portfolio value in addition to the $200/mo fee. As Jay Kaeppel ("Seasonal Stock Market Trends") says, how a strategy performs during losing trades is more important than how it performs when making money. In that regard, Hail to the King might be fine during a sharply trending market, but keep away otherwise.

Lost 12k within 2 weeks. 9 of 10 trades in the red, losing 2-3k each. Not a good stop loos. It seamed to do well for a while, but I feel like this strat will crash at some point.

The manager is like to buy/sell on break the trend/support/resist level, which is ok, but no immediate stop loss when it turns out to be a fake break out. so subscriber may have to do your own research and set a better stop loss value if you don't want lose 3000+ in a trade.

A nicely managed system with great communication. I highly recommend it.

1. Communication - Absolutely nothing. Never bother replying to any of my messages. Worst reason of the three reasons.
2. Trading style - Very risky. No stop loss, no risk management. Offence is best defense. When trade is against the market, trader actually enter more trades, hoping when market turns around, some trades profit will offset losses from initial trades, netting to green PL at the end. Problem is, when NQ keeps going one direction like up right now, with trades that size, one can easily hit margin call and cause catastrophic loss. Very dangerous. This only works when market keeps oscillating up and down. Maybe NQ will dip and trades might post profit again but holding onto that much risk and opening a potential to 100% drawdown? definitely not my style.
3. Performance - I am only posting two starts instead of one star, because somehow this has been posting profit.. at least up until now.

Applies a "hold and pray" approach to losing trades, even through weekends when there's no telling where the markets will end up. Also, too many losing trades in a row... 65% wrong (35% right) out of the last 20, with a low profit ratio (if computed against last 20 trades). It doesn't matter how well this strategy does during a bull market - what really matters is how well it does at preserving capital during turbulent times. In that regard, this strategy does worse than flipping a coin.

This is an excellent system in either a up or down market. Solid returns while often hedging means this system will be around for the long haul. Great communication as well. Well done

As Jay Kaeppel ("Seasonal Stock Market Trends") will tell you, how a strategy performs during losing trades is more important than how it performs when making money - conservation of capital when a strategy is wrong is paramount. In the case of Stock Star, it had around 40% winning trades while I was subscribed. In other words, it did worse at picking direction than a random guess. Compared to other strategies on C2, this isn't one I want to bet on long-term.

Managed to lose 1% during the entire month that I subscribed to it. It held losing trades for quite some time, hoping they would turn around. When they didn't, it sold at a loss. Holding onto losing trades (rather than selling early) means your money is tied up and unavailable for the next trade... and not a strategy I'm interested in. I also strongly suggest that everyone manually compute the "win percentage" using the last 20 trades, rather than the system average. This will give you an idea of "is the strategy just guessing in today's market" compared to a bull market.

looking good...

Slow but steady
Nice risk management
One of my favorite

back up lets move up from here...

Very well managed strategy. Communication is excellent and risk is managed well.

Communication is great. Performance has been abysmal so far though. Down around 20% already and haven't been subscribed long

Excellent communication from the strategy manager with rationale for various trades and market perspective. System consistently hits singles and doubles and losses/downturns are mitigated by taking positions in inverse funds.

Your typical run of the mill system with unnerving drawdown and expected return in a volatile environment.

Every day is a new one.

Nice risk management. Low Draw downs.
Works with Stop Orders.
Feels professional after one month.
I will go on with this Strategy!

Great strategy! Consistent, yet very profitable. Makes good trades, unlike most strats, uses proper risk management. I highly recommend.

Make money when the manager has correct market bias at. Loss when he has correct bias in wrong time frame. Be prepared to lose for a short term as a long term strategy.

VERY disappointing. Was a high flyer. Seems as though every trade is a loser.

Awesome ETFCapital!

This is another forex strategy that scales into losing positions in hopes of a reversal. So you end up with huge positions, hoping that the current trend will reverse. Too much risk for me.

Looks like some value fund you want to put retirement into and just make an income. May do it with a large portion of net worth one day.

Exceptional day.

great

Done VERY well the past few months

Geared for a bull market and does ok as most systems do but what’s the game plan for a bear market, I’m not sure. Draw down seems a little high and seems long biased.

Firing on all 8 lately!

too early to tell.

The owner of the stragey communicates very well.

Very good stragey. Keeper for sure!

Very good strategy. Reliable!

I came into today looking at the gold position we had yesterday. Expecting a down day we are up significantly. You just cant make this up. Get this strat!

One thing that I have learned about futures traders, they have a very high risk tolerance. As others have said here, he holds on to losers too long and adds to losing trades, with hopes they will turn around. That concept nearly wiped out 3 months worth of gains, but adding in the subscription costs truly gets me out at a break even. A bit on the concerning side.

Riding the lighting! What a great day!

Good Manager

Very steady return!

Very good strategy!

So far so good :)

Yesterday giveth and today takes away. And vice versa.

I am concern that he add to losing trades causing much larger lost rather than an small one

Back and forth.

good trader, sometimes keeps for longer unusual loss

Very well managed strategy!

Manager communicates well. There are cycles occasionally but should be great in the long run!

Very steady performance!!!

Stay away! No risk management. No stop losses set. This strategy manager is incredibly reckless.

Has stoped comunicating dosnt answer on the website and didnt vist for 24 days.... Not sure if he is even trading anyway jsut a big problem

worth trying for 39 dollars per month. good communicator.

It makes small amount of money any way but not worth potential risk with 100 usd per month.

Doesn't look like a strategy. No clue about good entry points.

Exceptional day.

nothig has changed Gambler

Just joined stock star to feel the waters. It's sucks. I like this with every day changes in the areas i would invest in. Im cutting stock star and going back here. C2 has some weird numbers. And portfolio reviews are weird too. There's something wrong with C2 calculations. It shows like negative 8000 but i am in it and i have only made money since the -8000 mention. Something fishy here. nothing you see is real. And not only that, they tell you your portfolio sucks until you buy into something that hasnt crossed a covid drop. Very f*cuked up. Thanks for asking for a review every day C2. I can post what ever i think.

Steady

Exceptional.

Really good and solid performance.

So far so good!

Very sophisticated manager .. this one Isa keeper !!

Very well managed! Highly recommended

This strategy is good/successful even though the last position was risky.
All trades are carefully played with a good risk ratio. The manager is always available for explanations. Good communication. Recommended.

This trader is solid in tactics, execution and risk control. Was able to recognize the risk before the February crash and exit, and has managed the volatile market since then skillfully. Communicates well with subscribers.

This strategy is way too volatile and holds on to losers in the hopes that they will bounce back. Sometimes they do, sometimes you just lose your money...

This is by far and away the most professionally managed strategy I've subscribed to in over a year. Even though this strategy is new, the leader is very skilled. I would highly recommend giving it a try. I've been with Seek Alpha for 2 months, during some very challenging COVID related swings and Seek Alpha has outperformed expectations. Very highly recommended!

super !

Just requested a review now requesting again? Do you developers know what you are doing?

Very smart strategy. Highly recommended!

No risk Managment what so ever

1 loss=50 wines THE worst risk mangmnet I ever saw in my life

Poor risk management -- holds onto trades for much to long, results in unmanageably high intra-trade draw down. Unsustainable for me personally.

Unfortunately, this system carries unpredictably high risk, and in order to ride out some of the trades, you have to be willing to take a 50-70% account draw down, intra-trade. I cannot trade this way.

You can make a lot of money with this strategy, but you can also lose a lot of money. The trade leader tends to scale into losing positions, resulting in a lot of decent wins and a few 20-30% losses. Their system recovers quickly, but I've gotten a few margin calls along the way while waiting for things to turn around. I believe it can be a very profitable system, but it is too volatile for my taste.

This review is not about this darn good strategy, but the C2 system which probably hires incompetent offshore developers cause the daily gains/losses do not match reality. My account can be up $500 for the day and C2 reports negative $233. The only number that is accurate over time is C2 balance cause it's obtained directly thru the connection. Dumbass developers on C2 cant figure out to use actual balance to determine daily or long term gains. But thats what you get for $50/mo.

Overall pretty high risk strategy... I found it missed the opportunity to realize good returns ....and even oftentimes went to a loss within the same trade ... which makes it quite challenging to keep seeing those loss trades come it, while in the middle of the period you could have realized good profit ..

Too erratic. Trader, like most of them, not too inclined to discuss his strategy or any trade.

very active trader in a temp. difficult market... tested just one month.

[ using also US ETFs not just stocks (not tradeable for europeans like me :o( ]

He is good for US people...

corona flat. I dont think thats bad as 90% are completely off the board in very negative territory. Just hope we can get 2 days without a gap up/dn not against yesterday's session.

This is a decent day-trading strategy with a steady accumulation of profits and frequent trades. However, it is vulnerable to shocks to the oil market, which were responsible for a 35% drawdown in late February and early March 2020. The strategy did not change its position size after this drawdown, and so resulted in margin calls and blocked trades by my broker, forcing me to reduce my scaling to the strategy. Also, the trade leader didn't respond to my questions for over a month. So in general, I think the leader doesn't monitor this strategy very well; that, and the sudden drawdown, costs it a couple stars

JC is a good guy, well intentioned -- but his risk management is simply not acceptable. You can have a 125 out of 125 win streak, but if you don't have a good risk management strategy in place, you will lose it all on that first crash. I just can't participate in his strategy going forward, but wish him nothing but the best,

Very good and solid strategy.

Pretty good overall - trading for me for 1 month now - and although it does not usually set stop orders - I kind of feel confident there is someone watching it. Definitely worth is as a lower risk strategy

Low volatility system that adjusts to market conditions. Can be easily manually traded. So far very good results.

Good job etfcapital!

The trader communicates well his strategy. Currently on a negative cycle but hope it will turn around soon!

So far, after a few weeks, stock star seems to be a good strategy.

So far, after a few weeks, Klarity seems to be a good strategy.

Used to be a great strategy for years. Now it has become an endless money pit.

market all over the place. so is my port.

Klarity seems to hold on onto losers for far too long. Sometimes, they turn around for a small profit (~$50-$100). Other times they are closed out for massive losses. I gave up on the strategy after one such $900+ loss. Mostly because it wiped out more than 2 weeks' worth of gains. Everyone has bad trading days, but there just didn't appear to be any strong trading methodology behind this strategy. Just a desperate attempt to hold onto a C2star status which to my knowledge has already been lost.

Very good.

As with the majority of strategies, SPODD500 lacks sophisticated risk management.

Hrad worker dose comunicate ! grate guy good startgy

Excellent strategy! Very strong results. Trade times tend to be short (good!) and drawdowns are mild (better!). If you trade Futures, try this strategy!

Back.in black

Great strategy. The long term results are phenomenal with minimal drawdowns.

Quick to take profits (small) and doesn’t practice risk management for losing trades. Keeps averaging and prays it comes back green. Look at the results. Don’t sign up.

Great trader but not so good at auto trading. Its interesting that the monthly performance on the personal trades listed on the traders website have never shown a down month but the auto traded version is down 3 months in a row

Keep touching break even every week. Hope this turns around. Holding overnight is treacherous. Almost guaranteed opposite of previous session daily at the top.

C2 turning on this strategy making it real easy for others to switch. i see dips in other strategies also. grass is greener? not.
