The ones I am talking about, some have given trade by trade results, some just monthly results but if they are only trading one instrument, like XIV, it’s pretty easy to figure out whether they were in out. You can tell they are over-fitted when you see how they perform going forward.
Hey @JohnSnow2019, I’m not able to find anymore the DIVERSE strategy. Did you close it or just renamed it to “Penny Stock Test Account” ?
this is just my personal opinion. Creating a new profile you already lost most of your credibility. You did great work in the community and provided us with valuable information regarding c2 and vix.
I honestly dont see the pt of making a new profile to “reset” your mind set and a need to start fresh. you can just close all positions and terminate the strategies. (you dont have to reset it, just dont new subscribers)
Very rare on c2 the leader will take accountability for their prev “bad” strategy and willing to grind at it again. Most of them just create a new user name and start fresh. To me, this is still a easy way out. If you are new to c2, how many new members is going to look thru the forum and see this post? or search to find your old strategy. Not like you new profile/strategy detail mention anything about your old profile. But your old profile did mention the new profile and not the other way around. To me in the end you just didn’t want the old strategies to show up link to your new profile.
again this is just my personal opinion and how i look at it from a long time subscriber’s perspective. I have followed strategies that had 25% draw down, hell i had one with 50% draw down. They are now both back up and one has doubled since the draw down. We all know trading is NOT easy, and c2 community can give you pressure due to the unrealistic expectation. Just do what you do and trade for your self, you will always make more money from good trading than c2 sub fees. Dont let c2 or subscriber expectation and the pressure get to you.
if in the end you think you will trade better from a “FRESH” start then who am i to judge.
Good luck!

@OSUTIA and @DogZebra_Investing I slept on it and to mitigate having lost most of my credibility and to keep the ability to point back to the good of my old strategies, I reintroduced point backs to the old profile in my current profile. It does have my just about the max 1,000 characters of my opinion smeared on it and there is no guarantee that a potential sub won’t read my “about me” section and miss it. However, if a subscriber doesn’t read the about me section I think at that point it is on them for not knowing about the second profile. After all, isn’t that exactly the same page you would have to find any reference to my old if I had kept the same account? As I said I do respect your opinions and hope this helps my standing with you, but even if it doesn’t I should just focus on my own trading like you said. Either way there is still a standing invitation for a meal in Minneapolis, MN if you ever make it this way.

Charles, thanks for your time and reply to us. Obviously you care enough about your reputation or else you wont write us back about how u feel. All i can say is from my opinion and my perspective. See a developer with strategy thats didnt do well i dont see anything wrong if you just close it and start a new one. I know trading is not easy, there is nothing wrong with scratch and start over. and If the new strategy does well it doesnt hinder you just because you had other strategy you closed.
To me i just didnt want to see someone joining that other “crowd” the 90% of all other developer who just start a new user name when they banish the old one. And only reason they are not willing to stick with the same user name because they are thinking about “how to get subscriber” instead of how to make money in the market. Especially with someone like you whos TOS, which u have money in the market. You will make far more than what c2 can provide. For a great strategy you make around 5k to 8k/month from subs if you are that good, a unicorn strategy you make maybe 8k - 12k on the top end. But if you focus on making the money from trading you will make way more than that per month and subs will come in automatically. On this forum so many try to advertise after 1-2 month of gains. I always try to tell them just be patience, give me 6 month or 1-2 yr, if you are good you will be on my filter list.

Well said. Trading is hard. Do well and the money will follow, that’s the only thing you need to know.

I think that Charles did the right thing… May be because I did the same thing in other area, music composition. After some years of composing music, I thought that I had evolved enough to make a fresh restart. My old tracks didn’t reflected anymore my musical capabilities, and I didn’t like them anymore. So I decide to change my artist name and started to publish under a different name. Also, in the old artist nickname I put a link to the new one.
I didn’t want to cheat anyone (if someone asked my about my origins I gave them the old link) but I didn’t want that the new fans listen the really bad stuff that I made in the past, at least not at the beginning.
So, full support for you @Snow2020
