Simpler TradingReviews of simplertrading.com

There is a lot to learn in the rooms here. Sometimes something isn't clear and a question is asked to get clarity. Rather than address the question, the stress and pressure come through loud and clear, and the question is minimized, and in some cases, ridiculed. Most questions that bring that level of frustration are pointing towards a way to improvement and better clarity.

Simpler Trading is a valuable golden nugget for retail traders. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgable and helpful. I started my journey with Simpler in 2022 with Raghee Horner in her Sector Secrets Mastery Class. WOW! What a great teacher! Through this class I've been able to get an understanding of the entire market and all of it's nuances. I've learned to trade what I see and not what I think. I literally learn something new everyday and it has paid $$$$ off exponentially for my trading career. I now have skills that will benefit me and my family for the rest of my life and hopefully theirs as well. Each one teach one. I would not trade my Simpler experience for nothing in the world!

The incorporation of macro data is superb. The methodical approach to risk management has been pivotal in building up my confidence. I'm am a huge fan of RH and her professional approach in handling tough trading environments. Have officially become a fan of LornaB and her insights. Have to mention the community of traders that both have built, as a great asset in my learning experience.

The best, the best, the best, and I thank myself everyday for finding Simpler Trading. You literally can not find a better mentorship, trading community, or customer/technical service. RH, LornaBot, and the Trishboss have changed every aspect of the way I traded and I will be forever grateful.

I’m going to try to leave an honest review of both the Strike Zone Mastery room (SZM) and the “$10K to $1 Million” class (10K). I signed up for the 10K back in May ‘23 which included a year’s subscription to the SZM. The premise was that Joe Rokop had started with a $10k account and grown it to over $400k in a couple of years in SZM, while trading live and recording all trades. The new $10k class was billed as an account reset, to allow new members to get in and follow along with more manageable trade size, with the goal being to grow a $10k account to $1 Million. 10K Class: -There were two options at time of sign up - a cheaper option with 4 live trading sessions, and a more expensive option with 8 live trading sessions. The problem is that during the extra 4 live sessions for the higher tiered customers, trade alerts were not sent to the lower tiered customers, which caused much confusion, and led to a scenario where there were two different account balances by the end of the 8 sessions, which varied by several thousand dollars (both balances were in the red). Joe then had to manage two separate small accounts with two different approaches as one of the accounts was close to bust. -It became apparent that this class was not a true account reset, as billed, because Joe was continuing to trade the SZM account and it was revealed that once the $10k accounts got big enough, it would be determined that they could just take the SZM trades, and 10K alerts would end. -The trade spreadsheet for the 10K accounts has not been updated since August, despite weekly requests to do so. Every week, the requests are either ignored, or met with, “It hasn’t been updated? I’ll look into that…” It’s hard to know where the account balances currently stand due to lack of updates, but probably about close to where they started ($10,000). One of the 10K accounts was down to about $2k at one point, and was instructed to take SZM trades, but with Micros instead of Mini’s. The problem is that commissions were not taken into account with the balances, so I think a lot of people probably went bust. -There have only been about 3 or 4 trade alerts so far this month for the 10K accounts (which is very few considering the goal was to build up these accounts by day trading). It very much feels like they are just trying to do the bare minimum to be able to say that they haven’t abandoned the 10K class members who signed up for a full year. -Lastly, the results have been bad. Big drawdown, and no growth in account after 8 months. SZM: -Assuming the trade spreadsheet is to be trusted (more on that below), Joe obviously had success in the past with his trading when he was just focussed on one account. Now, he has to think about two different 10K account balances, the SZM account, the optional trades that he also alerts out, and the long term trades that he sometimes alerts out (and are only sometimes included on the trade spreadsheet). It’s hard to day trade in the zone when you see a good entry, but have to stop and think which of 4 accounts is this applicable for. You can hear it in the verbal alerts/live trading… it’s frequently, “Let’s buy 1 NQ, ehh let’s make it optional. Actually, let’s all do it. But only SZM, not the 10K class.” I think if Joe is looking for reasons why his results are suffering, he might want to think about narrowing his focus. -The trade spreadsheet for the SZM is also not regularly updated, sometimes a month or more goes by without being updated. Funnily enough, it seems that these long stretches without update correspond with periods of drawdown. It seems as if they don’t want to update the spreadsheet until they have a string of winners. In addition, the spreadsheet itself seems a bit dishonest. You can clearly see long term trades in the past have been included on the spreadsheet, but in December, Joe alerted a lot of long term trades which mostly were closed at a significant loss (at least $60k of losses), and for a few days I saw at least some of those trades on the spreadsheet, but now they have decided to not include any of the December long term trades on the spreadsheet. If included, they would have wiped out almost the entire gains from 2023. -Joe has stated that you need an account size of $25k to take the trades he alerts out, but he clearly does not trade with that risk parameter in mind, as several draw downs would have wiped out accounts of that size. Results: -Since I joined last May, the $10k account is breakeven at best (but who knows as they do not update), and the SZM account is also about breakeven in that time span, or down significantly if you include the long term trades. So far, not worth the time or price of admission.

I had canceled my membership just over a week ago. I was on a 50% off discount for the options room fyi. I had a string of bad trades I took from them as it's my fault as I normally just don't take them blindly. I got frustrated by this and canceled last week. Once I thought about it, I did want to continue using the service as there are a couple good traders in the room. I call today and see if I can get my rate back as it's only been 10 days. Haden tells me "no". He could have easily just made a few mouse clicks if he wanted to help me. Just goes to show how they really don't value their customers as I've spent several thousand with them over the years. Just be careful with this company and don't just blindly take their trades without checking the charts as the majority will be losers and you will just slowly bleed your account dry.

I've been a customer for 9 months and 2k invested in big 3 squeeze system. I've don't nothing but lose money following Taylor's trades. I've contacted customer service once / month to ask how to use their site and system. I get no directions/help except to "watch the video". I have watched them several times and it jumps over things that should be explained (thus rendering the system unusable). I have 3 months left of access but, It is not time well spent. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't buy their big 3 system... But knowing that, I wont try any of their other systems. For now, I give up on even joining Taylor's live sessions.

Good Traders. Used this service for over 1+ year. It's really very hard to emulate the results of some of the big traders. Risk management especially in the Options Gold room can be improved. Overall good service but I suggest you understand the methods and trade your own plan vs. following the alerts.
