Vector Algorithmics

Pros: I hate to have to write this but I know I should warn others of my experience. First I should say that I like​d Vector, I appreciated the customer service and liked all the people I spoke with. I came into ​this with nothing but total optimism and high hopes. But unfortunately, here is a list of the ​troubles I experienced;

Cons: -On boarding problems had me miss weeks of winning trades.


-​Followed by weeks of connection problems, again missing ​weeks of winning trades.


-​My Vector mentor, a lovely guy, offered to take over my account, enabling it every day to monitor and fix the connection problems and restore my confidence. During that week ​he forgot to enable it one day costing me $1400​.​ And the connection problem was never resolved.


-I ​requested that he/Vector take responsibility for ​their mistake which cost me 1400, ​making up for it by covering my membership dues. He said he’d check on it and get back to me.​ I inquired a few times and he repeated that he’d get back to me​ but never did. 


-He encouraged me to just keep running the system as directed, except for Thursdays and maybe Tuesdays because those days don’t work out very well. I did exactly that and my ​account went from +11,000 to -7000. 


-My Vector ​advisor never responded about the 1400 and canceled ​the next two appointments ​I booked, letting me know that he’s no longer going to work with me.


-​Most significantly, I’ve lost faith in the algorithm, finding it extremely frustrating watching it repeatedly buy at a high or sell it a low, resulting in many losses. Someone in the chat today explained it very well, “Having been here for a few months I think it’s important to understand these models are based on momentum​, so in a trading range market​, you should not expect this program to work.”


-And finally, the ultimate straw that broke my back was that I no longer can trust ​Vector‘s reporting on their ​win/loss chart. Vector would report a win ​but I would get a loss or a much much lower win. It’s explained as “slippage“. Slippage to that degree ​boggles the mind​.


-​I pull out all my money and request a refund of my initial enrollment fee because the mistakes and the stress ​are too much to bear​, I don't ​want the anguish any longer. My advisor requests a meeting and tells me that the fine print in the contract says that I have to be in it for a year to be eligible for a refund. He encouraged me to fully f​und my account again and make it back​. In​ regard to the lost 1400, he said he thinks he could cover a few months​ of membership. I asked him to put it in writing, but again I’ve not heard anything back from him.

Overall: There’s no way I can subject myself to this stress and anxiety, let alone expose myself to such significant losses on an algorithm I don’t trust. There’s just no way I’m going to knowingly expose myself to that​ any longer. Judging from my experience, I ​feel obligated to warn others. But it’s not just my experience as I’ve found in the chat​ that many others ​have gone through or are currently going through what I did.​ I can take some solace if my loss can save others from my debacle.
