Given my deep seated aversion to the stock market, the chances of me even looking into this program were next to zero. But Low Stress Trading was recommended to me by a very trustworthy acquaintance so I took the plunge. Result: GAME CHANGER. Low Stress Options has delivered over and above what was promised and what I expected. The training is clear, detailed and thorough, the owners and staff are deeply engaged, and the community is friendly and supportive. I followed the training to the letter at first to get over my fear and loathing, and now trading options the Low Stress way is actually fun and interesting as well as lucrative. I have recommended LST to several friends and I recommend it to you.

Nothing Less Than Transformational
OVERVIEW:
If I can do this, anybody can. I had no experience actively trading options until starting this program, and yet in 6 weeks of trading, I'm already beating the target 1% returns handily. You do need to work at this. There are many hours of training videos, and you must watch them multiple times and take good notes while watching. It took me several weeks to do this using pretty much all my free time (because I was excited to get started trading). Learn the framework and don't deviate from the framework until you have at least 1000 trades under you belt. I'm still completely trading inside the framework and I'm thrilled with my results ...
Target avg weekly Rate of Return = 1%
Actual avg. Weekly RoR = 1.33%
Best week = 3.53%
Worst week = 0.34%
TIME INVESTMENT:
Target weekly time researching and trading = 1-2 hours
My actual avg weekly time spent = probably about 5 hours
Time spent on most recent week of trading = maybe 3 hours
Time I expect to be spending each week very soon = 1-2 hours
Time doing actual trading each week = maybe 30 minutes max
TIME SAVERS:
You'll get faster at this the more you do it. Put in the time up front to (a) learn the framework, (b) learn the trading software, (c) learn how to do stock research and do it quickly, and (d) set up efficient planning and tracking systems for yourself, because it will save you time in the long run.
EXTRA TIME INPUT:
I've done quite a few extra things to get myself organized and to track my trading results. I'm tracking all my trades in detail so I can learn what makes good trades and what makes bad ones. I've also put a lot of time into customizing the Schwab trading software (known as "thinkorswim") so I can see all the important data at a glance. I've created multiple custom watchlists and put all my most commonly used features in rows of buttons. I've also created a 4-stage watchlist spreadsheet so I can process new ideas for future trades and track stocks that may have fallen outside my trading parameters but might come back later.
DOING THE MATH ON THE RETURNS:
A 1% weekly rate of return works out to 68% annually. I don't know any other system where you can get this kind of return with so little risk. Yes, there's risk, but I perceive the risk with this method to be extremely low - much lower than buy and hold. Why? Because we continue trading options even when stocks are falling so we are still making money during market pullbacks. We occasionally end up owning some stocks, but when that happens, we sell options against them and eventually unload them for a profit.
RETIREMENT:
This program has completely changed my retirement outlook. Now at age 60, I didn't have much in the way of savings and presumed I'd be working until I keel over dead. But now with a 1% weekly rate of return on my meager savings, retirement is actually in sight. I couldn't be happier.
WHAT YOU GET:
1) Incredible training videos explaining the framework in detail.
2) Multiple weekly Zoom calls. Either attend live or wait for the recording to be posted on the site.
3) Very active forums. Not just members, but also the creators of the program. Tons of great advice here, and also people outlining their mistakes - invaluable!
4) Tracking and Reporting Tools. If you import your transaction logs from your broker, the site shows your performance data in lots of useful ways that are better than the broker sites themselves.
5) Upcoming Feature: If your broker is Schwab, your trades will auto-import into the Low Stress site, and you'll be able to place your trades from the Low Stress Trading site as well.
6) Outstanding Support: Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. One employee actually gives out her cell phone for us to call if it's urgent.
LOW STRESS:
It's named Low Stress Trading for a reason. We trade Monday mornings about one hour after the market opens, and then every day we check our trades one hour before market close and decide if we should either (a) leave everything alone, or (b) modify our trades. We DO NOT sit around all day watching the price of stocks go up and down, worrying about the price action minute to minute, or placing gazillions of trades throughout the day. If you need to modify trades, it might take 5-10 minutes to do that, and then you're done until the next weekday at 3pm Eastern. And you can easily place trades from a smartphone or tablet if you're not at your home computer. This is most decidedly NOT day trading!
SUMMARY:
I truly enjoy the planning and trading I do each week. I enjoy going to the forums and reading about other members' experiences and learning how they do things. And of course I enjoy seeing my account balance growing at 1.33% a week. If any of this whets your appetite, I'd encourage you to go to the Low Stress Trading web site and read up on it. You'll be glad you did.

One month in and great results
This program and community are such a great value that it’s hard for me to believe what has transpired in just a short few weeks. I went through the core course content several times in the first few weeks and I made back the cost of the course and then some with in the first two weeks. I have some trading experience and I picked up the basics pretty quickly working through the training. I followed along with the $5K challenge program and made mostly the same trades with fantastic results, 1.8% per week return right off the bat.
I am an analytical type (engineer) and a natural cynic, so to say I had to read the entire sales page 3 times might not be a complete exaggeration. The community is great for answering questions and Troy and John and the whole LSO team are on it when people need help. The mission of LSO is clearly not focused on taking as much of your money as possible, it’s quite the opposite. Their pride comes in making millionaires. The framework just works. LSO has dramatically changed our outlook on when (and how) we might retire. No longer constrained to rolling CDs and scrapping for 5-6% per year on income strategies, this is a game changer for us.
Thanks Troy Broussard and John Sanpietro for the great content and platform!

I'm literally addicted to this - it's a game-changer
This program, along with the community and customer support has been OVERWHELMINGLY positive. Wow. My mind is seriously blown and I am ADDICTED to this trading strategy.
Here's why:
1) This is NOT a program where they take your money, and "leave you out to dry." Most programs out there only care about frontend sales. They use hype and they'll say/do anything to get the sale, and then have barely any customer support and brutal fulfillment (side note: I joined a VERY expensive business program like this in 2018, and still, to this day I regret paying for that program. I still cringe 7 years later every time I see Taylor Welch's face in ads).
With LSO, the entire community pitches in and is RESPONSIVE to answering my questions. I had plenty of questions and fears around making my first trade...all of which were answered. The customer support on the fulfillment end has been PHENONMENAL.
2) I want to thank Troy Broussard for starting the "$5k Challenge" - because to be frank, that has been the BEST part of the entire training for me. Reason is, it's the most practical. We go live, and we get to see OVER THE SHOULDER on how Troy operates, how he looks at stocks, how does the technical analysis, etc. It's the most practical way to trade because you're literally watching someone go through the process, and you can implement it into your own trading workflow of exactly what to do, every Monday morning.
As for me, I had a LOT of fear and trouble at the start of finding the process confusing, and scared to make a trade in IBKR as I was scared I would "press the wrong button" and mess up the trade.
However, I was able to overcome the barriers, and I've been trading for months now, and everything is going as planned.
I’ve earned well over the investment of the program (on a relatively small trading account) and I’m legit obsessed with this trading strategy because I can SEE the progress week after week.
I realized if you have a LARGE trading account ( multi 6-figs+), you can literally earn thousands of dollars PER WEEK on 2 hours of work per week - which is what I want to get to eventually.
And by the way, when I read the sales page I thought it would be “B.S.” when I read it would only take 2 hours per week. But going through the process this strategy literally does take LESS THAN TWO HOURS PER WEEK.
As a result, I really am going “all in” on this and I’ve been doing whatever it takes to increase my income to grow my account, as this is seriously life-changing.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Troy Broussard, John Sanpietro, and everyone else for this program.

One year in — I left a decade of buy-and-hold for this, and it's held up.
Before Low Stress Options, I spent more than ten years in a traditional buy-and-hold investment platform. It was the "responsible" path, but my money mostly just sat there — and I eventually realized it could be down exactly when I needed it. After my first weeks with LSO, I did something I never expected: I pulled out of that platform completely and moved to trading this framework exclusively.
That was 55 weeks ago. Here's where things stand, honestly.
I joined in June 2025 and started trading about ten days in, brand new to options and nervous — two accounts to start, one of them a rollover IRA I couldn't even add money to. Today I run six accounts on the framework (a seventh holds cash reserves), and I've earned a little over $135,000 to date. Across 55 weeks of trading, I have not had a single losing week on the core strategy. My accounts land right around the 1% weekly target the training teaches.
Full transparency, because reviews like this deserve it: I also trade a more advanced strategy taught in LSO's Shark Club (a small separate group, not part of the core training). That one has seen some down weeks — unrealized paper losses on open positions — which is exactly why I keep it separate from the core results above. And of course, these are my results with my capital and consistency; nobody should expect a guarantee.
Beyond the numbers: the trainings are easy to follow on a phone or laptop, the weekly calls are genuinely useful, and the community answers questions fast. It's taught in plain language — you understand what you're doing and why, which was never true of the funds and tickers I held before.
If you're tired of money that just sits there, this is the most practical thing I've found. I recommend it to my own friends and family, which is the highest bar I have.

Does what it claims
I was highly skeptical of the claims this program made. Earning 1% per week is an absurd return by any standard, and one should be skeptical of such claims in general. After a few months of being in the program and trading, I understand how it works, and it's truly remarkable. Simple, reliable, and profitable: This meets or exceeds all expectations. It is a bonus that customer service is excellent.

Escape the rat race & become Finically Free!
I have been trading with the LST group since 20 June and today is 09 Aug, EVEN with a few mistakes(100% my fault) I have an 11% rate of return for less than a 2 month period. The group is super helpful with any questions and the training is exactly what you need to build a bigger portfolio or escape the rat race and become financially free. I invest in real estate and am considering liquidating my properties because the returns I am earning on my stock portfolio are blowing the REI out of the water AND there are no landlord headaches!

Don’t hesitate. This is what you’ve been looking for.
It is clear that Troy and John spent years (decades) trading different strategies to come up with their “best practices” leading to this Low Stress Framework. And thankfully, they are willing to share what they learned.
I started with LSO in May 2025 with just a few trades. Each week with a little more confidence, as I saw the results, I brought more funds over. I am learning so much with this program. And it’s fun! I tried trading options before, but I just didn’t get it. This is a framework I can follow and Troy and John’s constant willingness to help is very impressive. What sold me on the program at the start was their transparency and genuine willingness to help. As if this isn’t enough, they have built their own Platform to track results, offer a support community, and offer helpful tools such as stock scanners, and calculators. And they are working relentlessly to make it even better and easier for the LSO community to make trades and follow the framework. Their efforts are greatly appreciated by a growing community.
Don’t hesitate. This is the program you are looking for. Get started. It is truly life changing.
