Reviewer: Subscriber to system

Nice steady pace. Well managed trades in forex. The system is suitable not only for auto trading. Signals are clear and sent during congestion so there is plenty of time to enter a trade. The vendor keeps eye on trades and although he is not very communicative he is very prompt in responding to your emails. I trade the signals manually and I’m able to achieve the same or even better results than those presented in C2. “Keep doing a great job and don’t forget on us – subscribers who’d like to stay in plus”.

Boldly ignoring the APD, I tried one trade of this system and immediately got what I deserved: the biggest loss in the history of this system, proving that this is just another buy & hope & averaging down system.
