Recently got free access to some of Mark Sebastian's services. For the most part he buys junky short term options hoping to get a fast move for 25% gains. Over the 2 months, the 25% winners couldn't keep up with the 100% losers, and I lost $1000s. His subscription prices are high and as far as I saw, his documented monthly P&L doesn't even cover the cost of his services. I would stay away from this service!

I signed up for a service to trade the close from 3 to 4 pm. However, several months ago, they suddenly changed the Friday show to start at noon. Why am I paying full price when you are only delivering 80% of the content you sold me? NOT HAPPY!!!

Option Pit provides amazing value - they help you make money with services that are very reasonably priced for the return they anticipate. A single "special situations" subscription paid double the money charged - in a week or two. 100% return in a few weeks works for me!

I’ve been with Option Pit since November 2024, and it has been a wonderful experience. I’m currently part of around five different services that Option Pit offers, and I’ve found them all to be outstanding. Option Pit truly stands out for its honesty, transparency, and the genuine care the instructors show toward students. They’re always available to answer questions and make sure everyone is up to speed, and they even offer free extensions sometimes so you can get the most out of your membership. One thing I especially appreciate is that they post real trade results—the instructors place their trades after students receive the alerts, so there’s no concern about front-running. They also strongly focus on educating their students, ensuring you understand not just what trades to make, but why. With a range of active trading, hedged strategies, and longer-term trades, there’s truly something for everyone. They even offer products that trade volatility, which was completely new to me, and I’ve since learned how to identify big money flow, trade volatility products, and use technical analysis techniques. Beyond the excellent instruction, the community at Option Pit is top-notch—supportive, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen advanced skills, they provide all the tools you need to succeed. Their customer service team is also wonderful and always willing to help. Overall, I’m very happy with the education and results I’ve been getting, and I highly recommend Option Pit to anyone looking to grow in options trading.

Option Pit, I can’t say enough good things about this company! It may be a small company, but it packs a powerful punch. They have a wide spectrum of products available ranging from very hands-on, aggressive day trading to less time-consuming longer term, position management techniques. Option Pit strives to keep it simple. The world of options can be a complicated, foreboding environment to the entry level retail trader. Learning about the Greeks, volatility flows, and technicals often deters the average person from option trading. The Option Pit crew can help you develop not only a framework of how the markets and options work, but how to discover edge. Edge equals money. Simple ideas can be a profitable idea if the trade is structured properly. Option Pit can teach YOU! The seasoned cadre on the front line of this company have decades of real life professional level experience. They have the capacity to ramp up complexity to match ones knowledge base. The instructors have deep networks of active professional traders. They strive to keep you and your money safe. Knowing these ladies and gentlemen are watching the markets for you when you can’t, makes trading less stressful. There is a community of like-minded students on a closed chat. The chat is a safe place to bounce ideas around. The students are also looking for edge but sometimes find edge where others are not looking. By casting a broader net into an active evolving market, profitable trades can be discovered in sometimes overlooked niches of the market. I personally do not have a background in finance, economics, or math. I work in healthcare. I was a “refugee” from other services. I have developed to the point I can structure my own trades. It is reassuring to have a solid team working along your side while you develop a skill set. Trading paper is one thing, trading with your own cash and real emotions is another. See the Vix chart dated 5 Aug 2024. It can alter your perception. Thousands of positions vaporized in a short period of time. I was not blown up and continue to trade past the event. It is recommended that you save some time, save some money, and check out the Option Pit.

I subscribed to OP services in 2021. Back then, it was a boutique shop catering mostly to volatility aficionados and connoisseurs. Since then, I've witnessed an explosive growth in terms of new product offerings,vastly expanded strategies toolkit, significantly revamped academic curriculum, redesigned and modernized online presence. The reviews posted to date quite vividly put on display the multitude of OP features its subscribers have come to love. While I'm cognizant of the repetition risk, I'd like nevertheless to elaborate on what it is that sets OP apart from and far ahead of many, many other trading services out there. 1. Professionalism Hardened, sharpened, and polished by years and years of merciless daily grind on exchange trading floors, the OP crew generously shares all their hard-earned knowledge and expertise with anyone willing to learn. 2. Integrity This is not an empty word. When you honor a customer's subscription from another (disintegrating) service provider, that's integrity. When you carve out an hour from your busy schedule to re-record a training class (because the original recording had failed for some reason), that's also integrity. 3.Hard Work and Dedication No matter how jam-packed their day might be, there's always time for you, the subscriber, creating what I would call an "always there for you" feeling. 4. Adaptability Sudden changes in market dynamics would immediately trigger an ad-hoc live session to guide you through the rough patch. Oh and by the way, their trading strategies and products are being constantly reevaluated on suitability for evolving market conditions. 5. OP University OP is not just about trading. It goes hand in hand with education and learning. Each live session (and video replay) is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of relevant concepts and their real-life applications. There's a treasure trove of educational materials for any level and personal preference. The recently launched OP University is a culmination of multi-year effort by the OP team of pro traders, who also happen to be top-notch educators. 6. Service, Service, Service This transformation to what is effectively the OP powerhouse now has been largely due to their razor-sharp focus on the customer. It manifests itself in the countless live trading/training sessions (depends on membership level), greatly enriched online experience, superb new mobile app, excellent customer support service. 7. Fun, Fun, Fun The OP crew are all very nice people. They really treat you like family. Those who value social interactions with the team and fellow subscribers, may not only improve their psychological well-being, but also experience better long-term learning and trading outcomes. So, if you are a newbie, just dabbing the treacherous, murky waters of options trading, OP could be your guiding light to the other side, the promised land of financial freedom and independence. If you are "seasoned" and "well done" (or "medium rare", if you like), you could still benefit from a shift in perspective, and from tapping into a deep well of expertise accumulated by the great team at OP. To conclude, I'd like to sincerely thank everyone at OP for their outstanding service, and wish them many more years of uninterrupted growth and success.

I have been an OptionPit lifetime pro member. After years of trading options I thought I knew something about option trading. My strategies worked ok for me but I’ve learned so much at OptionPit that I felt like I knew nothing before. I have learned so much and have been much more successful since I joined a year or so ago. Lecia, Andrew, Mark and the rest of the crew at OptionPit are exceptional teachers and all with outstanding experience. In short, join the OptionPit Pro group, make some good money and most importantly learn more than you ever knew existed. I would recommend OptionPit without reservation.

I attended the Option Pit conference in Chicago July 22nd thru July 24th and learned a lot! The keynote speakers were very informative and offered many things that can be incorporated into my trading. Jim Carroll was a CFO and investment banker and currently a portfolio manager that told us how he looks at the market and the VIX complex and what he looks for, what conditions that cause him to perk up and pay attention. Russell Rhoads, a VIX expert, has been at these conferences many times and he always digs into his research that examines putting on trades that have positive expectancy and shows us how to do them. Frank Gregory gave detailed information about what is going on in Washington DC and how it affects the various sectors of the market and what trades might likely succeed. Joshua Thomas is a hedge fund manager, HFT operator, manages a wealth management firm and created a speculating dark pool. He’s dealt in the repo markets, traded over a trillion dollars, raised over a half a billion dollars in private equity, briefed presidents and many senators and congressmen. To do all of that means he understands how money works. He gave an amazing presentation explaining how the FED really works. He said it’s simple to understand once you know about the hierarchy of money and the FEDs role as a market maker. He showed a table of what he trades depending on how accommodative the FED is. It was very informative! I found the Thompson brothers presentation on hedging a portfolio to be particularly interesting. They described the best times to hedge a portfolio. They’ve developed a system that outperforms the S&P and have created an ETF that uses their system. I plan to use that information to modify my hedging strategy. All of the other speakers were great also. Bill Baruch talked about trading futures. Noel Smith talked about convexity which Mark is using currently. Kevin Green, a senior derivatives manager at Charles Schwab, gave an excellent presentation about option flow and 0 DTE options. All of that, plus, Mark knows how to put on a great conference, made it a great experience.
