Those systems are "black box" affairs. As the systems on C2 operate in opacity, you will never know what the logic is behind them. Even if they have a decent growth curve, it's difficult and abstract to invest under that uncertainty. If they entail a lot of transactions and a high monthly or annual subscription fee and you end up with nothing to show for it, that is an additional level of frustration added. Many of them also use leveraged products also, further complicating the process. Using investment premises based on academically proven studies, you can at least have empirically backed, accessible and transparent research vs. opaque. One area of study shows that the small cap value and small mid cap growth stock universes have produced highest alpha of all stock universes over decades. Passively investing in low expense ETFs representing these universes over a long term period has represented a superior risk to reward without subscription and trading fees, and tax preparation headaches research papers:. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kToqLWLISRk4n4YnSzv1hT5kBN54l5CvhwGgDwJKPJI/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-_nQTfZG1aoIduZuvqCgJws3_ja_zHCuz4h6zLadUoo/edit?usp=sharing
