Setting aside the issue of showing subscriber numbers per system (as it is so contentious) I’d still be interested to see a chart showing the number of subscribers across C2 something like this, I think it would help potential vendors see the value in the system as a whole:
50…x…
40…x…x…x…x…
30…x…x…x…x…x…x
20…x…x…x…x…x…x
10…x…x…x…x…x…x
00…x…x…x…x…x…x
…Jan…Feb…Mar…Apr…May…Jun
I can sense there is resistance to the idea so now I’ll keep quiet (probably).

But these things were discussed here more than once, and yet the RF still has some serious limitations. Apparantly [sic] it is more difficult than we think…“
Well, if a system would loss money in real life than it shouldn’t be listed
near the top of the rankings in “Hot Hands” or “Best Systems”. If you see 50% of a system’s profits came from one trade, on volume that didn’t exist, you know it’s a fantasy. You don’t need a formula to figure that one out. I think C2 is GREAT! But C2 must take care not to market and hype unrealistic systems to the public. In the long run the integrity of C2 will yield more profits than the short term hype of lousy and obviously unrealistic systems.

I believe you are wrong. Please reread the post. It was no joke.

Perhaps we have different views on what is a ‘great’ system…

“productivity of a system… not by the number of subscribers who may not be able to distinguish wheat from chaff.”
'I completely disagree. The number of subscribers is very relevant.'
Ok, so I admit that I have no subscribers, Zero, Zilch. According to your logic my system therefore is pretty useless.
Hmmm…I have a rating of 913, the system is not rated too bad either with 9.73/10, and it pretty much could pay my bills with a few minutes work a day.go figure…and have a nice holiday, eveybody

OK, maybe not “great”, but looks good to me…and I guess you have to ask him if he’s joking… I’m only psychic some of the time… I’m sure you’re more psychic than me ;-(
Agreed
Not great, just so…so
Was not joking

Ah, don’t sell your system short It’s good to very good in many
measures: good sharpe, profit per trade, low DD, and it looks REAL.
A lot of “great” systems are smoke and mirrors or have such large
DD’s you could or would never trade them.
Perhaps I didn’t use the word “apparently” correctly. Does it mean something like “false impression”? That’s not what I meant, it meant just “impression”.
