  1. They can ask for a refund and they will get it. Go read the vendor agreement so you can give an accurate opinion instead of just an "opinion".

    I know there was a pay for performance option in the past (you only paid the monthly subscription fee if a performance target was reached), I haven't visited the site much recently so I don't know if that is still a subscription option.

  3. A friend of mine offered a system on collective2 and got MANY chargebacks, and his was a profitable system. People would sign up, take the signals, and then cancel and demand a refund.

    It is why it takes 90-days to receive the fees from clients. The owner of C2 makes sure the chargeback deadline is past.

    OK, here it is:

    "Refunds and exceptional charges. If your subscriber is unhappy and demands a refund of fees paid to us on your behalf, or if an unhappy customer calls his bank and as a result we are charged a special fee - called a "chargeback" in credit card jargon - then we will remove that fee ......"

    So I was kind of incorrect, they can and will refund for ANY reason. I said not for underperformance.

  7. My buddy says he earned $7,800, net of C2 fees, over 2.2 years of running his system. Certainly not worth the aggravation. His system was in the top 5 for the entire period to give you an idea of the potential, if any.

  8. C2 was hacked and CC info was obtained. Oh boy.

  9. which system? "Top 5" is a very subjective concept. It depends on the system metrics, which markets, etc.

    Frankly, almost all systems there are not worth anything - starry eyed paper traders who think their 6 month worthless backtest will generate $50,000 in subscription fees

  10. Your system would definitely fall into the "worthless" category.
