Subscription Terms
| Seven-day free trial, then $97 per month (Details) |
There is a free trial period of 7 days before you are charged. You may cancel at any time before this (we send you an email at least a day before, to remind you, so there are no surprises.)
Then, after the trial, you will be charged $97 per month. (That is, we will charge you every 30 days - not when the month name on the calendar changes. So it's okay to sign up towards the end of a calendar month. You'll still get a full 30 days.)

Reviews
See AllRon, I saw your note this morning and watched the video. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I won't bother you with more questions. Just want to say I'm very pleased with the ETF system and I hope the C2 arrangement is working for you as well. I'm looking forward to a long and mutually profitable relationship. I have been researching Drs. Andrews and Babson's work on my own and am convinced there is validity to the science. I intend to learn more about the AR method over time but am satisfied with following your lead presently. Thanks again. John
Performance look impressive, but not enough time/trades to judge consistency or robustness. However, in asking the developer to answer a simple straightforward question about his past experience with this system in different market environments he was strangely evasive and refused to give me a straight answer instead giving me a sales pitch to purchase his course. That kind of customer support does not inspire confidence.
We give detailed audited auto trade data that is here on C2 for all to see. When someone has questions beyond that it is common to refer them to Andrewscourse.com.
This system is diversified (someone commented it is all over the place). Trades have low drawdown. And results are just amazing. Thank you for your work.
I made and lost some money with this system. However, right now the system is all over the place. Im pretty sure it will be a good system, but Im out for now.
When a system is near the end of a down move it is normal to have some folks leave.
So far through its short history this system has proven its worth in terms of position sizing, market timing and its ability to cut losses. The returns, although based on a small sample size, look extremely promising. I have traded a 100k account over the past 10 days with live money and have achieved identical results to those posted. So far, I am extremely pleased and hope for the run to continue. Excellent work Ron.
I am impressed with the position sizing, diversification, management of risk and the timing of the market. If this performance continues for the coming months, I will be extremely satisfied.
So far this system looks very promising. I like the diversity - using a basket of different ETFs, and using 3x leveraged funds while keeping risk down. I was a bit worried about the use of these funds, but the developer seems to keep a close watch to provide intraday signals, which all developers should do when using leveraged funds. I will continue to keep an eye on this day by day, and if the system continues to perform as it has, it will make the developer and its subscribers some good money.

System Description
ETF's that are traded included those that are not available for futures trading. Effective August 7 2010. The system may put up to 50% into one etf. In rare cases a stock of a company that we believe is a substitute for the ETF may be traded. RGLD is a good example of a gold substitute ETF. It is a company that makes money off of the price of gold rising and generates revenue from royalties vs mining.
Limited number of subscribers.
System uses Babson based, and Andrewscourse.com techniques.
