Bravos ResearchReviews of bravosresearch.com

I've been a Bravos Research member for about two years. They helped me understand the fundamentals of trading, and I'll give them credit for that. My biggest issue is how they present performance. They heavily market their win rate, but that number is meaningless without showing the risk-to-reward ratio. Since trades are weighted differently based on conviction, not every winner or loser has the same impact on returns. A high win rate alone does not mean a strategy is outperforming. During my two years as a member, their portfolio has significantly underperformed a basic buy-and-hold investment in SPY and lagged QQQ by an even wider margin. Instead of acknowledging that reality or publishing annualized returns against relevant benchmarks, they continue to promote headline win-rate statistics that, in my view, paint a misleading picture of their actual results. I understand they're running a business, but I think they need to seriously rethink their model. Rather than marketing themselves as an active trading service with a supposed edge, they'd be better off focusing on educating long-term investors. Based on my experience, their weekly and monthly trade ideas have shown no meaningful edge over simply buying index ETFs. Their short-lived crypto service only reinforced my concerns about the direction of the business. The educational content is solid for beginners, but I'd be very cautious about taking their performance claims at face value.

I was very impressed with Bravos’s YouTube free videos and subscribed in September (2025). When I joined I took every trade and followed every alert. I did this until the end of December when I saw that I was losing money overall and felt that although I had some winners (SMCI, AMAT, CAMTEK, NTRA, SPXS, ZS, GEV, SLV, CPER), I found that I was being overwhelmed by the losses. I lost money on the recommended trades for ETHA, EMCOR, TEVA, SQQQ, AMZN, MSFT, GEV, NVDA, ACMR, SCMI, ROKU, GILD, ISRG, NU, COPX, SPXS, VCYT, STE, and TSM. The winners did not make up for the losers. So in January, due to the losses, and my sense that the market overall was not in the expected uptrend, (the macro Bravos thesis that “Stocks Are Poised For A Risk On Move), I stopped executing the trades and started to simulate the results as if I were taking the trade alerts. I am very glad that I did not continue to trade the alerts since the beginning of January; I would have further losses. On the plus side, Bravos is very disciplined about keeping losses tight and they do take profits along the way when stocks rise (and the profit taking just before earnings announcements has been very effective recently when even good earnings have often been rejected by the market). I would guess on average my losses were kept to around 5-7% and never more than 9%. But in this choppy market for the last many months, frequent losses have added up. Breakouts have often been failing at resistance or falsely breaking out more often than not. Another plus is that Peter’s videos are fascinating and insightful on a macro level. Having said that, the thesis that markets should continue higher has not been borne out yet. It may well! But unfortunately over the last 6 months, the anticipated rise has not played out. I wonder if my timing has been unfortunate and that Bravos’s strategy is better suited to a steadily rising market, because the strategy is often based on anticipated breakouts. But, having said that, expertise in judging the market is what we pay for.

I would have been better off sticking with the S&P 500. After 2 months and 18 trades (9 open & 9 closed), I was significantly lagging the S&P 500, with a lot more work and monitoring. Their method didn't demonstrate any breakout prediction power. There's a reason they're constantly having sales off their hugely inflated subscription price (which is annual only and no refunds - which should have been a dead giveaway, but it's not disclosed until AFTER you pay).

I subscribed to Bravo's about 2 years ago. When I did, they were proud to post their winning $ and %, along with their stop-loss %. 2024 was an excellent year for them, and everything was great. 2025 rolls around, the price skyrockets, but I stayed thinking it's worth it given proper performance. Not so much. 2025 has been an awful year and they have not been paying attention to cutting losses and letting them run. The returns have been negative. When I asked for a year-end tally, they gave me some lame excuse that they can't do it because it's based on my trades. It wasn't before. Then, when I asked to cancel, they said they wouldn't refund any money. How does something so good turn so bad so fast?

The problem with Bravos Research is that you pay them money to provide you with Trade Alerts. Because the trading that they do is short to medium term - ie they hold trades for a few hours if things go badly or at most for a few weeks if things go well - missing out on a trade alert can cost you money. And I've noticed on quite a few occasions that they just forget to send trade alerts. Recently they had no trade alerts at all going out for a few days during which they closed a few important trades. But this isn't an isolated incident, it happens all the time. So the problem is, if you want to trade in this way, you need reliable information received on a regular basis. Peter's analysis videos are fantastic and informative, but because the trade alerts aren't reliable, it's hard to recommend them. You don't know if maybe this time they will forget to send out an alert just before a certain stock crashes by 20%.

Peter's videos and analysis are v. good. The trading mindset is excellent too. The problem is trade recommendations often come out after hours suggesting entry / exit at unrealistic prices. They don't publish a P&L ledger, simply claim it for some trades, though even there, there's no proof of transaction. Also, the site and app are shitty / slow. Once a recommendation comes out the cohorts following their guidance are big enough that some names move quickly based solely on their alerts. Finally, if you add a comment which they don't like, it's censored or shadow banned.

Peter´s videos are good, informative. What let´s the service down is a poor website and app that becomes unresponsive whenever they post a new trade and let their subscribers know by email. Sometimes takes 4-5 minutes to see the details. Also, subscriber posts do not go online unless they are happy with the content of your post. I am not sure this is how subscribers paying hundreds of dollars should be treated. But I say it again, the analysis and Peter are fabulous!
