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

Hi Jon, Mo with Prosper. I do see you've been a member in many of our trading rooms since September of 2021. Firstly, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on our program although based on your review it's clear that you're basing your experience on only one of the several products you have access to and making some inaccurate claims. You see Scott's program is designed and suggests to follow with a specific allocation amount or percentage of the capital you're trading with, and NOT to buy 1 arbitrary contract at a time on positions since risk will differ trade to trade resulting in mixed results. Scott also calls out his signals int he room and provides a tracker which you have access to for transparency. Additionally, are you aware that you can day trade options out of a cash account with as little as a few thousand dollars and completely avoid PDT? It seems there are many issues we can easily resolve over the phone but you declined to have a conversation. We're deeply sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations; however I would ask you to base your review on accuracy and facts. Our goal is to provide a program that is as valuable as it is comprehensive, and we regret that we fell short in your case. Keep in mind Jon, all three products (Charlie, Mike & Scott) are profitable and successful since you joined. Again, I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you further to understand the specifics of your dissatisfaction and to explore how we can rectify this. Please feel free to contact me directly at 312-572-7045 at your earliest convenience. Our customers are our top priority and we want to ensure your concerns are addressed promptly and effectively. We look forward to having the opportunity to connect being that you're a lifetime member so that you can fully maximize all the benefits of your membership.
