Reviewer: AutoTrader of system

The trader tries to do a good job catching counter trends, and while the profitable trades to loses is exceptional over a 12 month period, the risk to reward seems (or at this time of this review) to be out of skew which may be as a result is showing more frequent losses in recent months plus the change in market dynamics in recent months as well might be posing an issue - not sure.

A few other systems I subscribed gave much better results than this, and cost 1/2 to 1/3 of the price only. If it charges $199 per month with infrequent trade signals, I would expect the prob of win is > 85%. This proves that higher price does not mean better! I think that I would have traded better by just flipping a coin than by using this system. So I've un-subscribed it and never looked back again.

Reviewer: AutoTrader of system

Since I joined over 3 months ago, the win ratio has dropped to 50%, and the system has lost money, including fees. Like another review says, the losers are bigger than the winners, and the trades go against the trend, when sometimes the trend is unstoppable. With such trade management, each entry has to be spot-on, to keep the high win ratio. The lateest trade, the vendor just entered too soon (short ER2 at open at 688), and then held on (despite going 5 points into profit at one stage) without even moving the stop. Eventually the ER2 uptrend resumed, and we got sw [Show Entire]

The System doesn’t works now. I think it would be better to choose another system. The average per winning trade is 1200$ and the average per loosing trade is 1533$ in the last four month. But the win/loss ratio drops from 80% to 50%. It was a very gut system, but it would be better to wait until the win/loss ratio arises again to 75%.

System Description

The system developer writes:


Have fun is a discretionary method, trading ER2. This is a swing system. This system makes a few transactions per month. An average duration of one signal can vary from a few hours to two-three days. I strongly believe that a high number of transaction is not necessary to obtain good results. I always look for transactions which give a high probability of success.

I always protect my open position (even if I don’t send stop loss order immediately). I am a defensive trader, which means that I always protect my capital first and only then try to earn some money.

All signals are posted during CME session.
I only use market orders and stop orders. I never use limit orders.
My goal is a steady growth of account with reasonable DD.

MM should be adjusted personally.
For my purpose I use:
