It works as described. I joined in February and the returns have been a little bit better than buying and holding the underlying security (TQQQ). |

The strategy went all the way down without any advice nor any risk assessment. I learned my lesson. Next time i will simulate and paper trade for an extended 90 to 120 days before putting some money in these type of strategies. |

I am completey dissappointed about the strategy; maybe bad timingn when I started beginning of Feb 2021; total loss so far 28%; increasing on daily basis; the published result values of +13,2% in Feb and -7,3% in Mar have nothing to do with reality! Of course the autotrading is not fully synchronized; however this big difference is strange. |

Really wanted to like this system. Goes long and short with no over night holds however it's gone nowhere over this year and at $200.00 per month I expect more. Will keep it on my watch list though |

This system is more of a long term building a portfolio strategy which I preferred at first but most positions are on riskier nasdaq stocks with some naked puts which have not done well in the last month or two. Could come back but I'll take my loss and move on |

No risk control. A gambler. Dare to hold 5 Emini over weeks. Highly volatile. Look at the Chart. Your account could be wiped out if you do not have sufficient capital. |

I've only been on this for 2 months, so it's not fair for me to review this strategy in terms of generating alpha. |

Have been very pleased with this strategy and the developer. In my opinion, probably the best Forex System on C2. The developer maintains stops to easily control risk, which is why the drawdown % is so low. He does an excellent job communicating to his subscribers and even on occasion forwards an email explaining his thoughts and reviewing current trades. Upon request he provides detailed information of his strategy and system. He has also published an article in a forex magazine. All in all, in my opinion, an expert in knowledge and execution of forex trading. |

I found this strategy while I was searching for _lowest_ Maximum Adverse Excursion (MAE) futures strategies that could be used in an IRA. In my opinion, it is a perfect strategy to pair with Infinity 2020, because that other strategy retains a lot of spare cash and is strongly dependent upon the overall long uptrend in the market. The AlgoTrader NQ strategy uses that spare cash to trade Nasdaq 100 futures contracts, both long and short, meaning that AlgoTrader NQ can act as a hedge when Infinity 2020 has down trending days, although obviously no performance guarantees can be made for this setup. Recently, the strategy author, AlgoTraderLLC, and I have been talking about NinjaTrader and the implementation of C2 Autotrading and Smart Portfolios. In those contexts we have talked about risk. I can tell you that AlgoTrader LLC is very strong at NQ futures risk management, the strongest I have seen on C2 in a futures strategy, in fact. A lot of effort is made to cut the losses early, especially in recent weeks with the market turbulence. It is extremely impressive to see. However, when I said I was going to write this review, AlgoTraderLLC cautioned all potential investors that the outstanding performance seen since Feb 23rd (when I joined) cannot last, and that investors must be prepared to lose money, potentially lots of money. I have one final request from me as an investor to other investors. AlgoTraderLLC mentioned that a lot of people send messages about individual trades or trading days or weeks. So from one investor to another: being a trade leader with hundreds of thousands of dollars riding on every click is extremely nerve racking. Please do not bother the trade leader if things don't go perfectly. The trade leader knows what happened (unless it was a technical error with autotrading itself). There is no reason to distract them while they are trying to interpret what the market is about to do next. |

Puts get assigned often then the stocks are held long-term which means that these losing trades do not show up in the trade history but drag down performance. Plus holding the stocks ties up cash that could be used to sell other puts. Seems like a losing strategy in the long run. |

Seems to sell puts on wallstreetbets types of stocks so timing is crucial and has been off more than on. So you end up owning stocks in downtrends. Selling calls on them does not make up for the fact that you are holding a bunch of losers. And the premiums drop like a stone when the stocks are in a downtrend. |

There's not much to be said when a trader fails to implement any type of risk management... leading to a 50% draw-down on just one trade! You would be foolish to think that Colin's track record (prior to implosion) means he's learned how to use stop-losses to limit catastrophic losses. He's completely irresponsible at managing client funds. |

Failed to employ any meaningful risk control, leading to implosion... despite Colin's assurances (that he implements risk controls) to the contrary. When evaluating strategies and their methodologies for risk control, do not trust anything Colin tells you. |

Trades profit and loss rather than risk reward on a particular trade. If you enter in the middle of the day and the account is up, too bad. Does not close losing positions, which obfuscates C2 trading log. Keeps doubling and redoubling down against the strength of the market, even though it passes through several resistance levels over the course of hours. Poor trade entry. Does not wait for appropriate breakout patterns to scale or enter trades, so you get beat up for it, and they stay in the trade longer to try to make up for it, putting way more money at risk. C2 should show more of the intraday shena***ns in the strategy plots so that we would know to stay far away before the recent losses. Short or long it and forget may have worked during the last year, but in today's market it does not work. |

The strategy is perfectly balanced. There are no unprofitable trades during my copying, positions are closed with a good plus or with a small plus. |

I received a review request today, around the time of my 1 month strategy renewal. I don't know if the request comes from C2 itself or from the strategy author. Anyway, here is my review. The strategy author has chosen stocks that are sensitive to overall movements in the market, as well as just being good stock picks individually. I can also confirm that this strategy works well in an IRA, even though it is not advertised as IRA compatible. As each round of positions is closed, the strategy author leaves most of the cash in the account. Over time, this means the strategy becomes less sensitive to market upswings and downswings, so if you want to continue to risk more capital in order to maintain the higher returns from early in the strategy's life, you must scale the strategy upwards. Personally, I hope that the strategy author decides to notify subscribers and start an Infinity 2021 version, or if not, I hope that the author does not mind if I keep scaling the 2020 version higher. (For example, if the author eventually abandons the strategy, I would appreciate notification well in advance since I autotrade the positions at a fairly high scale.) Even if the market experiences extreme turbulence in the future, which would cause a similar strategy launched in 2021 to experience a lot of ups and downs, it is my belief that this kind of strategy can form a strong component of an appropriately hedged multi-strategy portfolio Since I am using an IRA, I must hedge using futures and options rather than the stock shorts this strategy sometimes uses. Therefore, I hope the strategy author continues this type of almost totally long stock portfolio well into the future so that I can subscribe to it as one part of my overall portfolio. Thank you to the author, LeonardoFranci_Nexit, for offering this strategy to the community, and thanks to Matthew Klein and the team at C2 for creating this website where the community can exchange mutually beneficial ideas. |

The performance speaks for itself - the trader lost >20% in one single trade and >50% of account in what was like 3 trades. I can only suspect that he does not know what risk management is. Traders do get unlucky but this one was actively piling into a losing trade instead of cutting at a loss and move on. Suggest everyone to AVOID |

Like the name says it's a "buy high, sell higher" momentum strategy which works great in a bull market. In a sideways or down trending market my positions with this strategy get hammered. System will take new positions in already red-hot overbought stocks and not take advantage of pullbacks. However I have had some occasional grand slam winners with this strategy and the admin communication is fantastic, so sticking with it for the time being. |

The system has basically been flat for the last 8 months, despite it being a bull market during that time. No communication from the trade leader during that time. |

I joined C2 last November, and I was cautious jumping into this auto trading and especially with AI TQQQ. I am impressed with the trader's Algorithm as I have tracked the same TQQQ using traditional momentum trade signals. AI TQQQ has been right more then he has been wrong, especially during the choppy trades. I have scaled 10% upto 100% as my confidence has grown with his trading algo. |

I would recommend anyone to take a real hard look at the performance of this so called "trader" SPXTrader Futures ( 132519119 ) and think hard if you want to lose money. SPXtrader started well, December was up 20%+ until the very last day, when SPX did a trade, and LOST most of his December performance, in one single trade. January was no different. SPX did again +20%. However, this time, he did not stop at losing his performance for the month. He kept on adding to his short, betting the house that ES minis will drop, while the entire market was rallying. He closed some of this position at a BIG LOSS. Instead of taking a few days off and re-evaluate, SPX was back at shorting and lost even more money. Result? Entire total performance is minus 60%. Yes, out of $60,000 recommended money, that is $36,000 LOSS. It can happen that one does a bad trade, but the above described behaviour is a clear sign that he does not define risk and does not stick to a risk management system. |

I have been trading this strategy for about half the time it's been on C2, after following it closely for about a month prior. I interacted with the Strategy leader before getting on and he has been EXCELLENT in his communications and transparent about his trading. He is a meticulous analyst and trades with practical caution, leading to a healthy month-on-month ROI with less dramatic drawdowns. A very stable strategy for those that want to see their accounts grow steadily with no unpleasant surprises. |

Ive been very impressed with this strategy so far, I am also a trader. The strategy continued to trade through the recent minor pull back in the SP500 and although going down slightly for a few days a full recovery has been made and off to new highs for my account. highly recommended |

It feels like he is not using SLs. Had a great December, just to loose it all in the final day. Did another 26% in January, just to loose it quasi all on the final day of the month. What is going? This used to be a good strategy, but the guy is over-leveraging / using too many contracts and not cutting early enough. |

For a long time, it has been managed as low draw down, modest profit strategy. Then it blew up wiping out all of the gains from the last year. Not sure what happen to the manager as there is no communication. Proceed w Caution. |

So far this strategy has been very consistent and profitable. The main driver of profits is cash-covered puts. There aren't a lot of trades so it's quite easy to trade manually and, with no use of margin, it's suitable for an IRA. The strategy leader is very responsive and professional. I may have found a keeper. |

This guy knows about risk and it comes thru in his system. Sometimes I am surprised how much this system gives back on a trade, but big swings equals big profits which is on this systems track record. 11% DD as I spoke about. There is a reason this system is/has been in #1 slot. Best system on C2 IMHO. |

Good strategy; excellent return to risk performance. My suggestion to subscribers would be to stay with the strategy for a year at-least to get good returns. Trying to time your way into the strategy will not work. Also do make sure you join all the positions in progress. The positions seem to support each other. |

This strategy is similar to the "Momentum of Now" strategy, and enjoys the same excellent risk management and systematic process. It's IRA compatible, long only, and follows sound process, which is what drew me to it. Danny has been a strong trader for a long time so don't let its short history fool you. |

It seems that some kind of craziness is spreading among the managers of some of C2's most conservative strategies. It already affected the manager of Futrs Only and now it has spread to the manager of Mini SP500 ES. Last week he had a big loss (in terms of his previous record). Something like 5% of capital, which is a lot for this strategyl. Today, instead of returning to his previous prudent style, he decided (I suppose) to make up for his losses in one session, like a casino player would do. As one would expect, it didn't work and more money was lost. During the weekend I tried to contact him to discuss his sudden strategy change but I got no answer. After all this, I am considering leaving C2 altogether because these two guys were the only ones I found that conformed to my trading approach but they have now become gamblers. |

the manager lost more than his preceeding year of profit in one frenzied trading session where clearly frustrated by loosing he gambled harder and harder and lost more and more. then didn't have the decency to reply to a polite enquiry on my part a longstanding subscriber . in fact there has never been any communication . with this temperament ones money is not in safe hands in any of their strategies |

I was running this strategy since more than a year. It was excellent until recently, last months profit barely covered the costs and maximum DD became more than an order of magnitude higher than earnings. At the same time communications with the manager are poor. |

I was expecting a lot more. A strategy on the VXX should have triple-digit returns in relation to the risk involved. This is not. |
