Losing trades loss more money than all the winning trades when I was in ; I was not able to match the leverage model used. I lost money so got out

Whatever - the good historical results aren't happening. The stats page shows a substantial return, but my account doesn't show it

I agree with the previous investor that rated this strategy. Yes, the strategy has tight losses. But the problem with this strategy is that there are so many tight losses, that at the end the drawdown is big after all. And every month the drawdown is getting bigger and bigger. AresP2/Ares had a nice 4-year run from October 2020 up to December 2024 growing from 25K up to 110K. This strategy was profitable so far despite the many many losses; because every 1-2 months it had a few huge wins. Unfortunately in 2025 it had no huge profits so far, but instead 5 negative months in a row, and the sixth month did start bad as well. Maybe it will recover at one point in this year or next year. But so far, I can't recommend this strategy to anyone.

Large swings ... please be patient

I really appreciate the consistent performance of this strategy. He's doing an excellent job managing positions with minimal risk, which reflects strong and disciplined execution.

Ark futures model by same SM. It’s better than this model.

This model good not a lot of trades. Only bets long calls. Slow and steady small quantities

One of best model I like in c2. In this volatile market with Trump;fed or catastrophic events move the market this model always closes trades the same day. To give subscribers good night sleep :-). I’ve lost lot of money in other models which hold losing hand indefinitely to run all profits to ground. I’m hoping this model will continue to cut losses and dig the next day.

Great strategy. I had been following him for almost 1 and 1/2 year and had great success. Good part about blackboulder is that he sends an email everyday explaining about the strategy which clearly tell me how to play based on the risk tolerance. Fantastic!

Loving this so far

Sometimes it's better to be not in a trade than a loosing trade

High risk!! system does not buy the DIP, average down (DCA) hoping a soon pullback, if black swan event (like Tariffs now), can draw down till who knows... even the same black swan event got the lucky JackPot (90days tariffs delay) and comeback like miracle clossing at lost only -3k or so, BUT with an unrealized scaring max DD of -34k (-82% on the trade) and almost temporary lost of the 50% of the whole account. So dont get confused, check the trades and the stats.

It works until it doesn't. NO STOP LOSSES, just DCA's on the way down in the hope that it eventually comes back before you get margin called. Of course, if you ACTUALLY have $80K on this strat 1x trading, that will likely never happen. But the strat manager is quick to tell you that you can trade on a fraction of that. Until, of course, you start to get margin called, as it is currently at over -$17K open position drawdown (new max drawdown record). I get that the economy/market is wildly in flux with the "Trump Temper Tantrum" at the moment, but it's exactly this kind of black swan event that kills months of profit in days without proper safeguards. Just an FYI, it will likely come back eventually, but the whole strat is basically "DCA on the way down with no stop losses and hope it recovers before margin call." If that's your style, you'll love it.

Tight stops are in place usually running at 1% of each trade. Risk management is one of the best on Collective 2. The strategy manager uses an automated approach which reduces the tendency to overtrade and trade excessively. In my opinion this strategy has the best risk management on Collective 2. I highly recommend this strategy due the automation, tight stops and excellent risk management.

returns speak for themselves

No responses to my questions. No risk management. To avoid.

Strategy seems to have broken down. Not meeting managers previously stated goals for some time.

Been subscribed for 2 years. My portfolio stays the same or goes down. I dont think this guy knows what he's doing.

It’s good so far , I love that statergy exits fast with if trade losses money. In for a month , it made more 1500

System simply buys qqq shares at market close and sells following day usually early on so exposed to overnight moves whether good or bad. 2024 system returns matched qqq's once penny stock profits were excluded. System does not go short so might suffer in a down year so I'm out

I was only with it for a month and it breakeven at best so I have to give it 3 stars for lack luster performance. However I think over a longer period of time it should improve and I base that on its other strategy Ares which has been around for a number of years. Strategy also sends out notifications for pending trades and always stop losses attached.

Live traded since September 2023, watching trades closely most days. Over the past month especially, I've seen this strat maximize green market days, while at the same time (rare in most strats here) managing and minimize bloody market days (mostly be shorting MNQ and MES futures when the market heads south quickly), which is a huge differentiator here on C2. Also a really good handle on managing stop losses and drawdowns. Also, they say they're running Multicharts against IB for trade execution which is a solid and reliable setup (once you learn the idiosyncrasies of both) I use personally. An observation is that this strat has a losing record shorting stocks. I did that analysis prior to subscribing and has held true since then. Fortunately (so far) this has not impacted my return as I am running this strat in an IRA account. As I can't make margin trades, I also can't short stocks (obviously shorting futures is allowed), so it works out great, as short stock trade signals just get rejected by my broker (IB).

Only 3 months in, so far so good, Dec took everyone down, ready for a Trump rally!

Working system

I do not receive the messages from the Strategy maker by email. I have request several times this to be solved and nobody helps me.
