I have been impressed with the organization (Prosper) as a whole and appreciate their focus on client satisfaction. They have been very responsive and supportive. Working with Charlie Moon has been a great experience. He is an excellent teacher, explaining and communicating financial concepts in understandable terms. And, of course, his financial results have been very impressive. I fully recommend Prosper and Charlie as credible and highly successful players in a very competitive environment.

I can’t say enough good things about my…
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Prosper Options. From day one they have bent over backwards to get me signed up and educate me on stock options.
I contacted Prosper about signing up for their service and talked with Carl Senne, Managing Director, he helped me get signed up and we talked for several hours late in the night trying to get my credit card transaction approved (around 10:00 pm). The offer was to close at midnight, but Carl told me because of my trouble with my credit card, he would extend their offer until the next day. He called me the next day and told me about a bank which had an offer of Zero Percent interest for 12 months. I applied and got approved.
I’ve been trading with Prosper for four months I first signed up for Mike Shorr’s Short Term Options but got into difficulty of trading with at or under $25,000 in my trading account and could only do four trades in a rolling seven days and on my fifth day I would become a certified day trader. Which I didn’t want. I understand this requirement will end in July with no account maximum.
I loved Mike’s Schorr’s program and I thought I could make some good gains but because of the capital requirement & only five trades in a rolling seven days. I couldn’t go on. Mike would make five or more trades in a day.
So, I contacted Carl Senne again and he said he would accommodate a one-time product transfer at no cost.
Again, going out of his way to accommodate me.
So, I transferred to Option Essentials.
Scott Bauer will suggest an option for a few weeks or a month or two out and tell you how to enter the trade with a not exceed bid price and tell you when to sale at a price not to be less than. I’m up to over $7,000.00 over my original investment.
Because of my success with Option Essential I Signed up with Charlie Moon’s Thursday Blitz which I’m up over $11,300 over my original investment in six weeks.
I just signed up for the C&C Trading Factor last Friday and these two ladies are phenomenal. They have an 80% success rate. They sent me a trade on my first day after registration.
I would like to thank Carl, Mike. Scott & Jeff for helping and educating me on the Option Market and looking forward for successful trades with C&C.

Prosper Trading has as many losers as winners.
Prosper Trading has a knowledgeable, helpful staff but their financial performance is poor. They have "trading rooms". I have subscribed to the room with Scott Bauer, the CEO. With 51 trades he recommended that got filled by his recommendations, there were 22 winners, 22 losers and 7 are still open. The value of the losers greatly outweighs the value of winners. I am currently down by $13,673 based on his trade recommendations, plus the $2500 I paid for his advice. I have kept meticulous records I can share. There is hardly a day that goes by that they do not try to sell me other subscriptions to other "rooms" for other methods of options trading. My trading dates are 3/19/26 through 5/28/26.
One correction—I only lost about $7000 due to their trades as one loss was my own trade. Their win/loss rate stays the same. They replied to my review to me with some incorrect information saying I did not follow their directions. This is not correct. I would get emails stating a trade to enter and a price to either buy or sell the trade for. I followed those directions exactly. Mo (a staff) cited a very profitable trade I did not enter. However, the only trades I did not try to enter were trades that expired on a Friday when I was out of town for 4 days around that expiration date.

Hello Jamie, thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you found our staff knowledgeable and helpful, though we’re disappointed to hear about your experience with your mixed trading results.
Trading options and active markets involves substantial risk and understanding how to manage risk, especially during volatile market conditions like we’ve seen recently. While Scott and our coaches provide education, market insight, trade ideas, and risk-management commentary based on decades of professional experience, no trading service can guarantee profits or eliminate the risks associated with trading.
It’s also important to note there are CLEAR discrepancies between your reported results and the transparent trade tracker maintained in the Options Volatility and Options Essentials programs. Individual results can vary significantly based on position sizing, entries/exits, allocations, hedging, and risk management.
In reviewing your trade log, the allocation guidelines discussed in the room were not consistently followed, which materially impacts outcomes. You explicitly claim that we replied to you with "some incorrect information, saying I did not follow their directions." It is 100% correct that you DID NOT follow our directions, in your words, "EXACTLY."
In fact, in the first 8 signals reviewed, that were sent to you in the last email, you didn't trade two of them and in three of them you did not follow the correct instructions. Further and probably most importantly, your allocation IS 100% NOT WHAT WE RECOMMEND AND YOU 100% DID NOT FOLLOW our guidelines.
Therefore we ask that your review be based on FACTS ONLY and not based on inaccuracies or false claims.
We always encourage members to communicate with our team so we can better understand their goals, risk tolerance, and whether a particular strategy is the right fit. As mentioned we are not here to argue, we're here to help make you a better trader. We've asked on a few occasions to have a meaningful and productive conversation about your performance and experience to help you.
Regarding marketing communications, we’ve already placed you on our no-solicitation list. We’d still be happy to discuss further with our team directly. - PTA Team

Danny Greenberg did a fantastic job with helping me get my trading platform dialed in. I am not extremely tech savvy….. he is with the patience of Job. He is a tremendous asset and resource.

If you want bad attitudes and talked…
If you want bad attitudes and talked down to. Come here. Learn and lose your money just like their Ad says.
Jeff is the only one who stands tall surrounded by ego maniacs
Political talks too are so much fun with these people. but they do put out a disclosure that it isn't political when it is.
I was in the rooms a few times through a subscriber. Witnessed this for myself. You can back it up but it is not for me for anyone I am speaking to out in the world. I have wintessed this this year enough times to say no thanks to paying for it.
I have seen one person speaking the truth on a real story and the person in charge of the room to tell him to knock it off. First ammendment right to speak and tell the truth.

Prosper Trading Academy is well well worth looking at.
I dealt with Moosa Shubak, a 10 year representative with Prosper, great experience. Moosa is really nice guy and can handle all issues you might have. I am currently in Mike Shorr's trading room doing very well in the market with Mike's trading signals. I was of course skeptical at first, but it has paid off greatly.

Been with Prosper trading for 3 months…
Been with Prosper trading for 3 months so far. Great platform for several different styles of trading. Each of the instructors seems to take their duties seriously and they are what I expected. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire platform. I am a daily participant (try to be). Best advice I can give is that I have made $$$ listening to them.
