After a long break eQuants is back. But unfortunately it has changed to a hold and hope system which takes small profits quickly and lets the losing trades run.
It's a bit of a spurt type system. Timing the subscription to this system is very important. It doesn't always go up, and has flat periods, like its present one. Communication has never been this vendor's strong suit.
Great system, but it has been inactive for quite some time now - no more "pulse". Is that because lack of opportunity (although the ES has seen wild swings which was -in the past- what this system wanted), or is there another reason? I really liked this system and only discovered it last december... Don't go away please!!! I wouldn't complain if you started charging for the signals. In fact, I would encourage it. So bottom line: excellent system, lack of signals, hence 4 stars "only"
I wish the vendor would start charging for the system and in turn have someone monitor it in order to avoid the occasional errors or system failures with C2.
The negative reviews are a result of 2 things - poor understanding of autotrading, and a lunkhead who complains that a great free system does not answer emails. Does he want a free house and free million to go with that too? Still young, but this may be one of the best system on C2. Sharpe of almost 7, APD of 1 and 4 straight months of over 23% monthly returns? get real, clueless reviewer...
This replaces my former review. Matt at C2 told me about ITM, which is a nice C2 feature but fairly well-hidden. Watching that, it's now clear the Email delays are wholly an artifact of C2, not the system operators - one mail today didn't actually leave C2's servers until 21 minutes after the first trade it contained. As for the system itself, it has a net loss since I've been watching but again that's too short a time to draw real conclusions. Some trades still don't have PRE-SET stops so that leaves the door open to Murphy's Law calamities.
The couple of 2-star reviews came from people who are manually trading this system. I don't think this system can be traded manually unless you are glued to the ITM window and have the possible trades lined up with your online broker (I did this for a couple of days). Autotrading is the way to go. I've only traded this system for a couple of weeks, but made very good money the first week and about broke even the second week. I believe the system uses internal stops, because it never draws down more than $1K per contract. I would prefer broker stops in case C2 goes down, but I can live with it.
Style is very good and obviously automated. 1 star missing due to length of track record, and what I think are likely issues revolving around the vendor's signal platform having hiccups with the C2 interface.
The creator of this system does not answer emails (at least not mine). I wrote to him, but no answer.
The calls come in such a rapid succession that I was not able to follow them.
