 		 05/11/2012 I believe the best part of this systems are the entries, for some reason the JPY tries to swing very well at the week opening but sometimes the swing is not big enough to reach the target. I believe the idea of a breakeven instead of a loose trade is very good. I personally, in last 2 weeks I have double my leverage and when the system reaches around $200 I close every thing and wait until next week, It seems that some people are doing something similar because there are considerable less people on the closing that on the opening trades.

 		 05/09/2012 I've been autotrading More Capital for a few months and it seems to me that the developer has now lost confidence in his own strategy. Average loss size is rapidly increasing while average gains do the opposite, to me this is a much worse sign than the present day drawdown which is still acceptable. Explanations by the developer about his trading behaviour are not always understandable

 		 05/06/2012 Well, not so good during the past month (note the equity chart is messed up on April 22). Extra stars for the honesty / openness to display the number of current subscribers.
1
 		 05/06/2012 The system vendor is boastful, claiming to have found the holy grail of trading. As usual, the markets have their way of sobering up those who think they have figured them out. Just another loser I'm afraid.,
1
 		 05/04/2012 Makes no money
2
 		 05/04/2012 Takes small profits quickly and lets the losers run. Would like to see the opposite. It had nice gains during the market run up, but just making my broker happy now.
1
 		 05/03/2012 wow... good thing I bailed early. Just another system that got popular due to early lucky trades followed by the inevitable crash.
2
 		 05/03/2012 I have been auto trading MORE Capital for 2 months now. My results have not been very good. Commissions, subcription and auto trade fees I dont think I have made any profits. 65 percent win rate and losing amount nearly equal to winners makes this system break even at best. How many starts to you give a system that hasnt produced??
2
 		 05/02/2012 Some brilliant trades, some too-soon position entries.
2
 		 05/02/2012 Blew up after a two-year long run. Developer sticks to his long-successful technical indicator system. My take-away: Since the market is always right, a trader has to allow for the market changing its mind, technically speaking, even after holding something as gospel truth for years.
5
 		 04/30/2012 This is a very efficient system. When assessing a system in C2, the single most important thing to me is the risk-adjusted return. I rather leave a few dollars on the table than have to endure a massive drawdown. In terms of risk-adjusted returns this system is all what I want. High Sharpe, very low drawdown (so far) and very few trades so I'm not making my broker richer. I'm making money and I'm not developing an ulcer every time the manager opens a position.
4
 		 04/30/2012 I think the last reviewer must be a recent subscriber. This is a good system. Vendor uses stops and limits, winning % is higher than 50% and avg win is greater than avg. loss. Sharpe of 3.7. Anyone who has stuck with this system for at least 2 consecutive months has made money. You can sleep with this system - you are not going to lose your account in 1 day like you can with other C2 systems.
1
 		 04/28/2012 With 60% profitable wins this system's average loss vs average wins is out of balance. Entry points were good but for some reasom the trader is not able to realize profts (above 40-50bps) but rather waits to the extreme and loses out in the end...I experienced a few time good profits that turned into bad losses just because it wasn't ralizing profits on time
5
 		 04/27/2012 Awesome system!!! Although it doesn't trade much, it handily beats the market & just about everything else out there. With an 11 year track-record, this is a proven money-maker over time! This is one of two systems that I actually trade on C2.
1
 		 04/23/2012 "System Description: Professional ES day and swing trading." I am still wondering what was "professional" in this recently abandoned strategy...
4
 		 04/20/2012 I've been auto-trading MORE for three weeks, and found it is quite good despite a drawdown recently. It recovered from the DD and still post more than 5% growth for the month. If the system keep running with earning more than 5% for months (I don't need risky bets for 20% growth), I'll be more than happy to change the stars to five!
1
 		 04/20/2012 Overtrading = 2 stars. Erasing profits from past 7 months along consistent bad trades = losing an additional star. System overall rating for 2012 = 1 star.
4
 		 04/16/2012 After waiting almost four months for a signal we certainly were not disappointed with the outcome of the first signal of the year. It was well worth the wait.
5
 		 04/16/2012 Index Spreads is one of the few systems that you can subscribe to and still sleep well at night It has a nice steady return and no big drawdown I'm delighted with Index Spreads and would highly recommend it Joe
1
 		 04/15/2012 Extremely dangerous trading system. Monte Carlo simulation shows probabilities of future account loss are huge, while average monthly returns during the last two quarters are only 3.5%. The question is not if, but when. We came very close to the end with 65% DD on just one trade and this easily could have been 65% or even more account loss. It was a miracle that we survive this trade. I would like to see vendor to go through 65% DD while is trading the REAL MONEY, NOT DEMO account.
3
 		 04/15/2012 I believe it will make money long term, but too much martingale for me. I got burned on those January 2012 big loses
1
 		 04/12/2012 On 10/20/12 system started a trade which, by tripling down, risked $163,450 (a drawdown of 64.90%) in order to make $3,224 profit. Before that it also had huge drawdowns. Vendor does not seem to have much faith in his own system since he trades it with only one mini lot. Unless the developer pledges not to double or triple down in the future and keeps his drawdowns at a reasonable level this system is very dangerous. Caveat emptor.
1
 		 04/08/2012 As a former subscriber and still interested in the system I don't understand exactly the philosophy of Hicks. He writes: "The model will not increase the initial position, meaning no cost averaging. Effective March 13, 2012, my protective stop will not exceed 50 pips". But what I see is a loose of: - 4/5: -83 pips - 4/5: -71 pips - 4/4: -67 pips - 4/3: -67 pips How is this possible? Not a good base for re-subscription.
5
 		 04/08/2012 I am delighted with Pipalert I've tried many systems only to be disappointed Keep up the good work as this could be the retirement income I've been looking for THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Joe
1
 		 04/07/2012 Losing $10k in two days on an account of this size speaks to a lack of sound money management. If you do sign up, be aware that you are in a for a big roller coaster ride with your capital.
1
 		 04/05/2012 Vendor apparently tries to use his forex technique of adding to losing positions to his futures system. In addition he tries to hedge losing positions with the wrong spreads often using very illiquid contracts. Vendor does not trade the system himself so he does not have any skin in the game, I should have known better that an initial streak of luck does not mean anything. Maybe he will recover but I will not stick around to find out.
4
 		 04/05/2012 Mistakes are made, even by the most talented traders. Hans has shown an ability to do a remarkable come-back once before, and I expect he will again.
2
 		 04/05/2012 The profitability of this system from 2007 to 2011 is very impressive. However, recent performance suggests its glory days may be over.
1
 		 04/05/2012 I'm out. A system that is capapable of giving back 10,000 worth of hard earned gains in 2 days is just sad. It is now a proven repeatable pattern.
1
 		 04/05/2012 It's clear he needs to do a bit of work on his new strategy. Losses are still larger than gains. I'm going to step aside.
1
 		 04/05/2012 Created stop loss rules after huge losses, and seeing now that trader deviated its own stop loss rule in the past few days shows me he is just not learning from his mistakes. Now he must learn the hard way - system isn't bad but discipline is very poor.
4
 		 04/04/2012 During the February drawdown, I bailed and missed the recovery. This time I'm going to ride this stallion up the mountain. Hi-yo, Silver! Away!
5
 		 04/04/2012 I'm a recent joiner - 2D is a powerful system with one of the best track records and highest accuracy ratios. It is a high frequency system - so yes there are going to be a lot of trades and one has to align the time zone with that of the trader. $5/trade might seem high but depending on what lot sizes you trade yourself, and given the high sharpe, these costs are manageable. Kudos to a great system and a great trader.
4
 		 04/04/2012 The numbers speak by themselves. Over 30% return, 8% max drawdown, average win > average loss. I like the fact that some trades break even (or very small profit) instead of hanging on a position that is not going to recover. Without a doubt the best FX system for a low-risk profile investor. The only problem is that fees eat a high percentage of your return so I would recommend to scale out the system x2 or x3 if you have enough capital.
4
 		 04/03/2012 I like the alertness and willingness of the vendor to deviate from his preset formula when common sense demands it unlike vendors like Venters AUD/NZD (now renamed VEN FX) who let big gains deteriorate into big losses apparently thinking he had discovered the Holy Grail. And it certainly is not a Martingale system like PIPALERT, for exampple. I still wish though he would use market instead of stop orders which, particular for this system, lend themselves to stop hunting which in fact has occurred in the past.
4
 		 03/30/2012 It's nice to see trades finally after almost a month joining the system. I'm trading to make money, so if the system does not trade for a certain period because of there is NO trade worth taking, then it's OK. It's better that way than trading and loose money. This system is mechanical and have had 1 year of good history. Hope it will continue and only time will tell. Since it's mechanical, the developer is not watching it every day and therefore less communicating to subscribers. Hopefully this is a winning system for us, subscribers, long term.
4
 		 03/28/2012 Any system that delivers extremely high annual returns is going to have periods of drawdown. So far, I still like MORE Capital.
3
 		 03/28/2012 It looks like these systems are in a draw down right now with a string of losses. Typically you know you are in a draw down when the system is NOT in sync with the market and day trading become a long term trade if it's a loss. Most developers are comfortable with taking small wins but are hesitant to take small loss and hope that it will recover. From the last week I observed that, a winning trade will be taken if is in a pullback and after taking it, will see it going a lot higher and then another trade will be taken in that direction, hopefully it will continue, only to see it reversed and this process will repeat. This system have had a great run and due for a pullback and so far a few people are expected that and expressed in their system notebook.
4
 		 03/26/2012 A solid system with nice monthly returns. I have found it very easy to trade manually with very low commissions.
1
 		 03/24/2012 It's holding the same losing position for two consecutive weekends and bearing ~5% drawdowns.
5
 		 03/23/2012 I joined this system toward the end of February. Days later I got hit by the biggest single trade loss since the system inception. I was ready to bail out on what I thought was just another high flying C2 futures system that was about to implode, but then I went back and re-read the provider's informative blog and his explanation of the system strategy. He seems to really know what he is doing and provides great communication to subscribers. So I decided to stick it out and I'm glad I did. My big loss has been fully recovered and so far the system continues to churn out daily winning trades.
3
 		 03/21/2012 Was a good system when it was being traded. Have not received any replies from the developer in response to my recent e-mails over the last couple of weeks, so I don't know what the status is of the program these days.
1
 		 03/21/2012 Is this system still alive? No trades in the past two weeks and no response from the developer to my repeated personal messages. For a steep subscription price such as this, I expect a lot better.
5
 		 03/19/2012 Certainly one of the best long-only trading systems on C2. Extensive track record, 36% plus average annual return, well managed risk, low trading costs and low subscription fee. Also developer is very responsive. Hard to see how things could get much better.
3
 		 03/19/2012 I'm cautiously optimistic about this system. On the pro side, dev seems to be consistent with its risk/reward ratio and with his overall strategy, which in is IMHO key for a succesful system. He may have an edge, and his edge may work across market conditions, emphasis on 'may'. On the con side, $89 is expensive when a month is not profitable. Would be nice to see dev gaining TOS status and put his money on the line. Also system is still young and not proven. Time will tell.
4
 		 03/19/2012 I have been a subscriber for some time. I think that the best indicator of the robustness showed by this system so far is the mildly negative performance of February, a month when most of the fx systems have experienced severe drawdowns.
3
 		 03/17/2012 Good so far.
4
 		 03/16/2012
2
 		 03/14/2012 I concur with the last reviewer. The system description states that "You won't see high or extreme rated trades on my system." I leveraged up based on this assumption and got burned. I'm still going to stick with it for a while at a lower leverage since his performance was so impressive up until that miserable trade. If I see another case of "gunslinging" with stops getting pulled or moved 10 points then I'm out.
1
 		 03/13/2012 How sad. 1 trade wipes out gains all the way back to October 2011. The worst part is the trade was totally out of character for the vendor. We trusted that he would continue with risk commensurate with the past and he did not. Stops were elevated multiple times today. This is what makes people so gun shy on C2.
5
 		 03/12/2012 Just hang with the trade.....this is a money making machine.
4
 		 03/08/2012 I subscribe to several index futures trading systems, Enigma24 is one of the best. It only trades 1 contract for each signal and does not add more contracts to a losing position. Risk is well-managed and each loss is controlled within around 10~20 points. The system will take profit if the price reach a certain level; if the trend is quite strong, the system will just ride the trend and take profit near the end of the trend (eg. the tarde closed at 6 Mar 2012 15:02 was near the lowest price of that day)
4
 		 03/01/2012 I conclude as an observer, and now as an investor, that this is a system with a solid methodology.
4
 		 02/28/2012 Great system that requires some capital to trade and a stomach for some drawdowns but offers good return. If you're well funded, I would recommend you add WSS_Gold100oz to your portfolio of C2 strategies.
5
 		 02/26/2012 This is the best system I find so far, the pros are: great trending detection and entry timing; the cons are: waiting for trending reversed can result in reduced profit, and sometime volatility ETFs diverge with market trend, eg. bot TVIX@51.11 on 11/11/2011, sold TVIX@58.96 on 11/22/2011, profit 15%, it went through a complete trend until reversed, TVIX spiked up to 64 on 11/17 and 11/21 two times, the max gain could be 25%. Another trade, bot TVIX@48.10 on 12/8/2011, closed @39.50 on 12/15/2011, loss 18%, in that period, S&P went from 1261 down to 1212. So, how to benefit this system? First, set stop loss order. Second, take profit promptly. Third, be careful with those leverage volatility ETFs such as TVIX, you may consider buying spy calls/puts if you know options.
4
 		 02/24/2012 Steady growth, low drawdown, I like it taking advantage of major trend moves, low commissions and low volume, spoke through skype with developer!!
1
 		 02/24/2012 Every system has its ups and downs, this unfortunately has been on a tear downwards. It seems to be like going to the roulette table and keep doubling down as you loose more and more. If it turns around and gets back on track in the future, I may step back in, for the time being I am staying on the sidelines.
3
 		 02/23/2012 With the European crisis heating up in February the markets have been shot all over the place. To actually think that everything would be smooth sailing and trading would still produce stellar results is ridiculous. The developer does not have a holy grail here but he is trying and I am sure he is learning from the experience with his recent changes to include tighter stops. It's worth sticking in for a while longer to see if he will recover. Although, I do agree subscription fee is a little high especially for those of us who scale down. Maybe he should change his plan to performance based.
1
 		 02/23/2012 System loses months of equity in just two days and has been on a downtrend since mid January, about a third of the life of the system. Dev relies on a high rate of small wins vs loses but he seems to have lost the edge as shown by the recent massive and frequent loses. In response to the recent drawdown developer has bumped up the number of lots traded increasing risk. Positions are held over weekends... Sounds like it's going to be extremely difficult for the system to work out long term. At $236/month and with many other forex systems coming up on C2 with more stable equity curves, better risk/reward profiles and cheaper monthly rates a it's hard to see the value on 'Strawberry'
3
 		 02/22/2012 I probably didn't give it enough of a chance. I have to be fair, this system is one of my favorite's in C2. The gain per trade is very good. I just don't like the conditional orders, it just doesn't work well with MB auto trade. The developer seems to study the market for the week and place his orders at the start of the week right after the weekend. It has a sound strategy. Wish him and it's subscribers the best. A 3 star rating for Good.
3
 		 02/20/2012 The system was due for a pullback. Now would probably be a good time to start trading the system, if you have not already.
4
 		 02/20/2012 I subscribed to PIPALER 30 days ago. I think the system waits out times of high volatility and takes its profits in slightly calmer markets. The manager takes profits when they are there. He also takes a small loss in order to exit position which is about to backfire or exit position which went bad but has a temporary recovery. Both are very much appreciated, as I hate draw downs which are all too common for all FX systems here. I do hope we will avoid big draw downs as I am somewhat "allergic" to them. :-) The history shows the manager has staying power and can generate consist profits. I was subscribed to a lot of systems this is one of the last 2 I am running.
5
 		 02/19/2012 I have subscribed to several systems on C2. This is one of two left. Consistent smart entries and exits and a great record. VERY long history for c2 so you know it is not a flash in the pan. Highly recommended!
4
 		 02/19/2012 Someone on the trade of 2/16 opened a position with 1,000 minilots!! To me, this is just insane. This idiotic move was rewarded with a $100K+ drawdown in that person's account. How is Hans possibly going to make any money with his trades if subscribers put on positions that large? Yes, I know that EUR/USD is very liquid, but if a bunch of us put on positions that big, we're never going to make consistent profits. Professional market traders see these trades on their screens and have much more leverage than we do to force the market in the opposite direction and run the stops. I give Hans much credit in trying to actively manage his stops to get the best outcome for us, but all of us need to do our part and scale-in with moderation so we can all profit together as a group.
4
 		 02/18/2012 Overall the system has certainly been impressive, however, history has shown that double digit monthly returns are not sustainable in the long run and trying to keep a high win percentage at all cost is troublesome. If you look at all the fx systems older than 1 yr with less than 30% dd and CAGR of at least 37% you will find that all have a low win ratio but a high avg. profit/loss ratio. I wish the vendor would adopt a similar strategy.
2
 		 02/17/2012 Keeping a position over the weekend is not a good idea . Take the (relatively) small loss to protect subscribers from potential larger losses - especially with potential Euro news. This action has blown up many C2 systems. This approach is concerning as to whether the real reason is avoid another blemish on the win/loss track record. After taking the big loss with 40 mini-lot positions, the next trade size went to 45 mini-lots. Very aggressive move to try and recoup loss. Sometimes the trades get stop-loss orders, but then they get canceled. Not sure why. Therefore, the trade is not protected at some times. Case in point is the 2/16 trade, which had a stop loss, got canceled and then the price below through communicated 90 pips SL.
3
 		 02/17/2012 I have a few concerns that apply to other successful systems on C2. First, the developer stated that there is a 90 pip stop loss. If you look back through the trades, on 2/16/12 the system suffered a larger loss than 90 pips. Second is the risk/reward ratio. If you look at the amount that the system is willing to sustain as a loss, it can be 10-15 times the average profit. That creates significant pressure to maintain a VERY high win rate. All in all a good system but could do with better risk mgmt.
3
 		 02/15/2012 I think this is a good system, but it hasn't performed well in the current market conditions. I traded it for 6 months and didn't make any money. I might have stuck with it if it were a performance-based subscription.
5
 		 02/14/2012 This system is excellent. Win percentage is outstanding and dd on most trades is nonexistent. The developer stays consistent with 2 mlots so that subscribers can multiply their mlots appropriately. The system trades 2 mlots and makes average win of $39...Trade 20 mlots in your account and you'll be seeing the same $390/trade that I've been seeing. By far THE BEST system on C2.
4
 		 02/14/2012 this system is what i've looked for, low turnover, very good results and low drawdown, even after the recent volatility, developer is always available to answer my questions :)
1
 		 02/13/2012 This is a good system the only thing you need to know is in what month he is going to loose 35%, NO MONEY MANAGING, I will call it the "LAS VEGAS HOLY GRAIL"
2
 		 02/07/2012 The method of implementation is, in part, being driven be the way per-trade-fees are collected and performance statistics are calculated. This is to the detriment of the subscriber. Two points of note: Money management. The methods adds to losing trades as the market moves away from the entry level. This gives fewer losing trades (higher % winners) but also gives far greater risk and larger $ losses if market does not revert sufficiently. Fee and slippage. Winning trades are frequently closed out and immediately reopened. This causes extra slippage, brokerage and trade fees and improves the strategy statistics due to many more winning trades (but with a small gain) Look at the timestamps and prices in the trade history. A fixed monthly fee would be more appropriate here.
5
 		 02/07/2012 I've been a subscriber since September of '11 and I believe that this is the best stock system on C2. If you don't believe me, do a Grid search on all stock systems with Age>700 and Sharpe>2.5 -- only one system meets that test. This system has proven to me that an excellent human trader like Julian can beat the best mechanical systems. He currently trades pretty conservatively (there is often a lot of idle cash) so don't plan on getting rich quick. If you're like me and are happy letting your account grow at 30% per year or more and not suffering a sharp drawdown in the process then this system is for you.
2
 		 02/05/2012 I am giving this a fair rating for the following reasons: 1- Risk is handled in a very acceptable manner. In over a year of trading, the average adverse excursion has been very reasonable. 2- Unfortunately, the equity line has been flat for over a year. I've experienced great gains followed by periods where it has all been given back. Now we're told that the subscription fee is going up... I am anxious to see if it will be worth it.
5
 		 02/01/2012 I have been auto-trading this system and cannot be happier. Does it have it's hiccups... yes. Does it recover quickly and keep making money... absolutely! The win rate speaks for itself. The developer is great at what he does. He also has great communication. My only fear about this system is not the developer or his system.... it's the negative people that may distract the developer from managing the trades, or worse, cause him to discontinue it. I concur with the previous reviewer... if you're not happy with the results, please unsubscribe and let Strawberry continue making the rest of our accounts grow at an exponential rate!
5
 		 02/01/2012 So far this system rocks.......good communication. If you don't like the trades.....cancel your subscription and leave the developer alone to keep making money for us.
1
 		 02/01/2012 I just got burned with a 7000 loss today. So investors be careful with new system. There are a lot of risk with new systems when there is no long track record to examine the trading style and phylosophy.
4
 		 01/31/2012 This system seems to be quite good. The only thing I don't like about it is the risk (about 90 pips) versus the reward (about 10 pips) of a typical trade. What remains to be seen is how likely it is that there will be a string of large losing trades bunched together to produce a very large drawdown. I'm willing to take a chance that this won't happen, but I'm trading at a much lower leverage than what is shown on C2. A good rule of thumb I've heard is to risk no more than 2% of your capital on any single trade. The last large loser in this system (as of 1/31/12) was 9.4%. I know I can't stomach that kind of loss and I doubt many others can either.
5
 		 01/26/2012 From my years of experience with C2 and other trading communities, I conclude that there is no perfect system out there. Strawberry is a consistent profit maker with well-managed risk. It is as good as it gets.
3
 		 01/26/2012 In my six months subscription to this strategy using automation, the P&L was negative when I included commissions and subscription fees. It's not a bad system but I feel the fees are too high to justify until it shows more profitability.
1
 		 01/26/2012 A good manager should demonstrate strong discipline and therefore resilience when trades go against him. During adversity this manager's style morphed into 'shoot from the hip'. Very disappointing.
4
 		 01/26/2012 I have been autotrading Strawberry for 2 1/2 months and has been a consistent money-maker for me. Differently from other systems, cares about his subscribers. He is cold-blooded but enjoys sense of humour. Four star not for the quality (I think he is top and I believe there are only two other systems for FX here at Collective that stands in the same league) but because the system is relatively new. I'll review again in some months and after, hopefully, gained more money!
1
 		 01/26/2012 Another person/trader who does not care about the money of other people. Tries to be smarter than the market does not recognize that his subscribers lose money. Only excuses, really bad.
4
 		 01/26/2012 1/25 - As the previous reviewer notes, the system developer stays true to his stops. However, those stops have been hit with increasing frequency as indicated by the declining monthly returns: Sept: +25.5%, Oct: +19.6%, Nov: +18.8%, Dec: +13.5%. January promises to be lower still. While the above returns are outstanding, the declining trend is cause for concern. While stops are necessary to give the trade a chance for success, the trade should be abandoned when the reason for making the trade vanishes. The developer shows his ability to reverse his position quickly to recover losses, but he has had two losing weeks in January. I hope I am proven wrong and the previous success resumes. I would be glad to revise my rating to 5 stars in that event.

 		 01/25/2012 I've subsribed to this for 3 months, and have been loosing money. This system may work on autottrade, for me manually placing orders after receiving the email has not resulted in any profits. Also, I made a loss in Dec, whereas the web-site shows 8% gain. So, I've just un-subscribed

 		 01/25/2012 1/25 - Once again the system owner stays true to his stops, proving that he is not afraid to take a loss and then move towards recovery, rather than "holding and hoping" and dragging his clients through precipitous drawdown for the sake of a good looking record. With this system, I know exactly how much I stand to lose on any given trade and can scale accordingly, and system's past record confirms quick recoveries. Outstanding risk management coupled with thus-far excellent returns.

 		 01/23/2012 How about cutting losses short and letting winners run instead of hope and hold? On Friday 1/13 vendor had a small losing position, instead of closing it out during the end of the trading day he added to the losing position for unknown reasons. When it was clear on Monday that he was wrong he nevertheless held on to increasing losses the whole week. Is the vendor asleep at the switch? What a shame for a system which had a promising start.

 		 01/23/2012 I have autotraded Venters for almost one month. I like the concept of exploiting a pair that few people follow and I think the system is a sound one with a good developer behind. Unfortunately I went through one of these periods that happen when actual performance deviate from the expected and I give the developer the benefit of the doubt given unusual volaitility. I unsuscribed but on the ground that it was not suitable for my objectives. I'll come back if and when I realize that it fits my need.

 		 01/23/2012 Stay away. This appeared to be an intraday system but developer has held a margined position in a 3x ETF for two weeks for an 18% drawdown (so far). Maybe system was abandoned?

 		 01/22/2012 Seems to be consistent in 'normal' markets. Does best with its short-duration trades. Lost a bit of confidence in this system when it took a $200 loosing trade into a weekend earlier this month and came out on Monday with a $1000 loss--the 5% descretion that the developer cites in his description should have avoided the weekend in light of the euro crisis.

 		 01/22/2012 System gets hurt by deep DD over weekend trades. If this issue is resolved, maybe 3-4 stars.

 		 01/20/2012 This is a Martindale system, pure and simple with no stop loss at all. This can easily be seen by the current $700+ DD against profit positions in the range of $20 - $30 each. The risk/reward of a $700 loss (so far) against a $25 gain is staggering. This is the reason that Martindale systems are so risky and prone to failure.

 		 01/20/2012 Vendor says: "I attempt to limit risk to a maximum 5% per trade. My goal is low risk, high profit potential". System is down more than 20% because of a single short position which is still held open. Consistency is simply not here.

 		 01/19/2012 I agree with the previous reviewer. This is one of the most worry-free systems on C2 in both its trading style and instrument. The developer is very professional and great at communicating and answering questions promptly, and the results are better than C2 suggests if you trade with a good broker. Too many reviewers judge a system by a few losing trades, but the fact that they still chose to give this system 3 stars is a testament to its quality.

 		 01/19/2012 Writing this review in response to several of the previous postings. Vendor has demonstrated that he has a system which can be traded profitably over a period of 5-6 months. While I do agree that several recent trades have been less than inspirational, a few trades in the context of overall system performance in my view do not warrant a jump to negative ratings. 4/5 for overall return thus far, and good communication from vendor.

 		 01/14/2012 The Vendor should take profit of the trade after the draw down since this trade achieve good profit and would have recouped 1/2 of the preceding draw down. Most of the profit were take with less than 200, why NOT this one when its profit is around 500 and did not seem to run up and stead reverse. So there is inconsistency the the money management scheme and this mishap well likely hurt the system performance and will likely cause the system first loss this month. Hopefully the system will revert to its previous consistency to help its subscribers building good equity.

 		 01/14/2012 I completely agree with previous reviewer. Looks like Vendor is desperately chasing the market trying to quickly recoup recent losses. Losing positions are being held longer and longer and a losing position is held over the weekend once again.
