As you correctly pointed out, killed strategies should have any open position closed, as they cannot become active again. Regarding Regulus, I forgot to close the active position before killing the strategy, it is short SPY, hence the descenting equity curve…
I think that instead of disappearing from developer’s profile, killed strategy should remain visible, labeled as killed (with date of event) and not supported by the developer.

Thank you Mark for pointing out this.
I am not perfect nor infallible, let me explain about past killed strategies.
For Regulus ETF [https://collective2.com/details/105530867] (https://collective2.com/details/105530867) I wrote in preceding post in this thread. It was a test for ETF strategies I was developing.
My strategy VEGA Nasdaq100 https://collective2.com/details/99046214,
I realized it has too low trade frequency to be interesting on C2 (5 trades in 5 months), so decided to stop it.
Regarding Jydra Chew https://collective2.com/details/24664185, it was published ten years ago, in 2007. After a good start, in summer 2007, I erroneusly decided to override some strategy signals and published discredtionary trades. It was a volatile market and the equity went south. I explained to my 2 subscribers what went wrong, assuming responsability for my error. I have learned never override strategy signals, but monitor strategy metrics and equity in order to assess it is performing within backtest parameters.
Thank you,
Paolo Geronazzo

Thanks Paolo for your honesty. The one thing that will override concerns about your past strategies is the continued stellar performance of Antares. Hope you realize my post wasn’t to cast suspicion about your methods or abilities as a trader - I’m a big fan!

Paolo,
Excellent strategy. I am very pleased with performance and risk management.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Paolo for your post. I have two strategies that are showing very good results. It gives me great pleasure to recognize that you are doing an extraordinary job in favor of the C2 investors and this general plan. Regards.
Hi Paolo i’m very please with Antares it gives good regulat results with well managed risk and drawdown.
the best for futures according to my experience on C2.

I am a happy subscriber for 9 months now. It was not the perfect time to join (I started with a DD), but the positions are always carefully maintained. Paolo is also an excellent communicator.
He posts well articulated monthly updates.
I trust this system and trust him as the developer. He is definitely not a fly-by-night operator! (We have seen too many of those here.)
Two C2-related comments:
(1) this is a good thread and a good idea (i.e. to have actual subscribers review the system when they have something to say as opposed to have C2 throw a dice (or whatever they do)) And yes, C2 claims that they will change this. It will not happen. I still have to see a single “yes, this is a good idea, we are working on it” idea that originates from subscribers to be implemented by C2. [I don’t assume that changing the color scheme or having 5 deep embedded scrollbars or whatever they did was originated as a “must have” feature from subscribers.]
(2) Please Paolo, don’t change scaling. This is another money-grabbing scheme from C2 that you must pay 2-3 times the original “software license fee” (whatever f*k it means) if you want to invest more $$. Trade even (or 0%4) number of contracts instead (so that subscribers can safely start with 50% or 25% scaling.)
Thanks and happy holidays.
Joseph
