UltraPro (3X) QQQ Timer
I've been looking for a good timing system that uses leverage but has limited drawdowns in relation to the potential reward you get with a 3x leveraged system. UltraPro 3X QQQ timer meets this criteria as well as allowing me to enter my trades outside of normal market hours, which is a big plus since I have a demanding full time job while still manually trading my own funds. In my opinion this system and the others from Kingdom Capital are very good for those that want the better returns you can get from leverage without worrying too much about extremely large drawdowns.
UltraPro (3X) QQQ Timer
I have recently started trading system and the good thing is that it has fewer trades (doesn't overtrade) and has very high profit factor (currently 2.4). Great communication with the signal provider.
Spy 2x
This system is easy to follow and trade. The developer communicates frequently and works hard to protect your capital while striving for gains that easily beat the S&P.
Eurodollar Once a Day
Amazing results so far! The clear rules of system performance review in drawdowns and open communication about system development.

So far so good. If you are looking for action all the time look elsewhere.....looking for a nice return?... try this system
TradingEF ex Nasdaq CIS
Despite the relatively low number of trades so far, the developer has shown excellent risk management, very efficient time spent in-market, and impressive returns. The developer's communication is also top notch. It's a promising system so far and I am excited to see it continue to build its track record on C2.
FOREX SPTS
Increasing the trade lot size x4 when system is in a bad trend gets this system a 1 star rating. Clearly not a viable money management strategy.
Small Cap (3X) Timer
Small Cap 3X Timer is an excellent intermediate term system with a great track record of finding changes in market direction. The developer is a serious trader.
SP100 Short Term Swing
This system appears strong for an up or sideways market, but it's giving up its gains by continuing to go long in a down market.
QUARTZ II
READ the statistics: "Chance of 30% account loss - 100.0%" !!
Guess what? After 1 month, my account with this SP has lost over 25%.
Dow Jones Blaster
Good system. Trading this along with Whole Wheat and QI Portfolio I. Four stars for now; worth five with a longer track record. JMO/YMMV.
Isonomy Turbo
Until this year, I could say it was one of the best strategies with 3 to 1 return to max drawdown ratio but this year erased all the gains. Due to the hedging nature of the strategy, I believe it'll take years to recover from this drawdown. There are definitely much better option strategies around.
Tantra Trader
Gautam is a talented trader. His strategy is multi-asset class and many trades can be placed in short succession so it requires some keeping up. Recent weeks have been a bit slow - owing probably to a) over-trading and b) false signals. My recommendation: focus on the assets you trade best, and if going long/short two different asset classes simultaneously, ensure there is a pairs-trade in there or that they aren't correlated.
US Stock Trader
I have some doubts on this system. It started its operation when Apple was trading @ 376$ and at the moment of writing the price is 616%, so there is an increment of 64% that is almost the same return of this system (75% annual). So, a simple buy and hold strategy would have produced the same results, but this is not the point I wish to highlight.
I see that the systems has much more losers than winners and in this last 30 days we entered into a a drawdown period where the system went long when was time to go short and viceversa.
I have lost a bit of confidence in this system right now, so I hope the developer will share with its subscriber base some thoughts.

Standing in the elevator with his subscribers, Moshe suddenly realizes that he should have taken his Beano pills. . . .
Futures Growth Fund
Relatively new, but solid, mechanically based system with excellent stats and superior annualized returns. Trades a variety of futures contracts, with as many as 3 or 4 contracts sometimes being active simultaneously. Worthy of consideration by patient and risk-tolerant persons with accounts sufficient in size to manage the risks inherent in the trading methodology employed. Four stars rather than five only because of the lack of a longer track record. I plan to continue my subscription indefinitely so long as performance remains on par with that achieved to date.

Here are the facts about this otherwise good system: 19 current subscribers. Description of system states: "If for any reason ( technical or other) the loss goes beyond 50 pips, it is strongly advised to cut the trade." The current two open trades are at -93 & -66pips. Despite of the numbers (19 subscribers, 50pips SL, -93&-66 currently open), the system administrator has not logged in since 10/19. As long as this type of situation is not fixed in a professional manner, it's a one star rating.
BOB DYLAN SP500
I started auto-trading this system just after the major loss of 5/4/2012, so, although the system trades infrequently, all 4 subsequent trades have made a profit. Quite laudable! I've placed an automatic stop-loss of $2,000, but haven't had to "invoke" it yet. I recommend this system.
ETF Compass
Congratulations. The system seems very good. The only drawback is that sometimes, recommends taking positions in ETFs with very low liquidity. Is the recent case of CANE. Please correct this deficiency.

Though I've not attached this to my live brkr accnt yet...this provider's record is exemplary! Losses are far overshadowed by gains! Nice work!
