Truly thankful for this dynamic team! If you’ve been in a trading education world of scams, dishonesty, or greed and have been ready to give up - look no further. These folks are the real deal. They want nothing more than to help you succeed. Wish I had found them sooner, but I can honestly say I can finally stop looking for someone to help me learn how to trade - and to do it independently.

I love trading 0DTE SPX options. They have the secretSauce.
I love trading 0DTE SPX options.
It’s amazing how they are able to identify potential entries, profit targets, & stop loss levels. What is really crazy is they are able to identify these levels on a daily basis before the regular trading hours open. Melissa provides live training on how she identifies these levels in the premarket and provides a summary slide that summarizes entries and exits. Tr3ndyJon system teaches us where institutions are buying and selling and how we can use these footprint levels as support & resistance levels, not just for intraday trading, but also for weekly, monthly, quarterly & yearly. Yes, a yearly levels too. (But I know I am not that patient.) They don’t just focus on SPX, but that’s just what I like to trade. If you just want to get your feet wet, they also teach you to trade XSP. They go the extra mile and answer you questions. If you are lucky, watch for their special offers.
Enjoy life, enjoy trading.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear how much value you’ve found in trading 0DTE SPX and how the structure, levels, and premarket preparation have helped bring clarity to your process. Melissa and Jon both put a strong emphasis on planning, identifying key levels ahead of time, and helping traders understand the reasoning behind each setup, so it’s great to see that resonating with you.
We also appreciate you highlighting the broader application of the methodology across different timeframes and instruments. Thank you for being part of the Simpler community, and we’re glad you’re enjoying both the learning and the journey.

Nothing but EXCELLENCE for KNOWLEDGE JUNKIES…
Nothing but EXCELLENCE for KNOWLEDGE JUNKIES. Ive been in this room for about a year, and it has changed my life and of course my trading. I actually think of it as a career now. I never thought I would be this close to actually making a living off trading until I joined Simpler Trading and especially the Trendy Trading Room. Jon and Mellisa have guided me and all the students thru complex understandings of the market. Truthfully, we make it more complicated then it really is. When I first joined it was like drinking thru a water hose, but as long as you dont give up. It will eventually sink in. You gotta do the work thou. ask questions, and the other members in the room will help you. There are so many great traders in there. I often wondered, if there that good why are they still in the room. My answer is. ITS FUN...
It's like one big group of Friends Trading together. You meet people thru the chat and you get to know other like minded people. People I would like to call FRIENDS.
To Jon and Mel. Thank You...
You have given me hope and knowledge. and for that I say THANK YOU ...!!!!

Great Teachers and Mentors
I originally joined this room with a simple goal — to learn a skill and gain honest, actionable knowledge. What I didn't expect was to find a community worth staying in long after my free trial ended. Months later, I have no plans of leaving.
What Jon and Mel have built here is truly priceless. The transparency, the genuine willingness to help every single person in the room, and the sense of community they foster is something you rarely find. If you're on the fence, give it a try — you may just find yourself here months later too.

We truly appreciate you being part of the community and are grateful for your continued trust.

Melissa: Great teacher. She'll talk for hours — just not when she enters a trade.
Two rooms, two instructors I genuinely respect — and one thing that would make both significantly better for beginners.
Jon is the real deal. He's always looking to improve — his teaching, his room, how he operates. That mindset shows. His read of the market is clear, his intentions make sense when he explains them. The one gap: he doesn't always share his chart after entering a position, which makes it hard to follow along in real time. You can ask questions, but with so many people in the room, many go unanswered.
Melissa is a dedicated teacher — she's always explaining, always breaking things down. But she rarely takes SPX or XSP live on the mic. When she does, she tends to execute quietly, posting entries and exits on the chart after the fact. I don't think she's hiding anything — it just comes across that way to someone trying to follow along.
I get that API alerts for SPX trades make no sense since it moves too fast.. But a quick callout on the mic right before pulling the trigger would be a different story. Not after, not on the chart after the fact — right before. That one change alone would give newer traders a fighting chance at following the trade in real time.
I would love to have real live trading guidance — not just a chart recap of all the winning entries after the session is over. Watching someone actually pull the trigger, in the moment, with the uncertainty and the pressure — that's the lesson. That's what sticks.
Don't get me wrong — Melissa puts in the work. Zones, charts, PDFs, teaching material. She comes prepared. It's just that when the pressure is actually on, when you're staring at the screen not sure if your three-step confirmation is there or not, that's exactly when she goes quiet. That's the moment beginners need the most help, and it's the one moment she doesn't cover live.
The SPX room is focused and well-structured — SPX only, clear purpose. But it's mostly a teaching room. The Trendy Room is a different animal: great for swing trades and Jon's futures calls, but all over the place for a beginner trying to find their footing. I wish Jon would take SPX live there too — I get why that probably won't happen, but a guy can wish.
Some YouTubers spend a good 2 hour market window just trading live — they don't have anywhere near the levels that Jon and Melissa have, but they're in the market taking trades with you and that's what pulls people in.
One idea for Jon: he already posts his market analysis on Sundays on YouTube. If he moved that to a Monday Youtube live session, no need to cover the same ground twice. It also pulls his Trendy room audience directly into his Youtube channel and grab traders looking for information on Youtube at the same time. He'd be growing both at the same time without adding much work. And Jon — genuinely, thanks for everything you put into this. I'm still in the room and not going anywhere. That's because I've seen how you operate — you're always looking to improve, and that's exactly the kind of person worth betting on.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate the balanced perspective and the recognition of both Jon and Melissa’s strengths, as well as the constructive feedback on how the experience could be improved.
Your point around real-time execution and communication is well taken. Trading, especially something as fast-moving as SPX, presents unique challenges when it comes to balancing education, clarity, and live decision-making. That said, we understand how valuable it can be to hear the thought process and intent just before a trade is executed, particularly for newer traders trying to build confidence in real time.
Jon and Melissa both put a tremendous amount of effort into their preparation, teaching, and ongoing development of the methodology, and feedback like this plays an important role in that continued evolution. We also appreciate your suggestions around structure and content delivery, as well as your recognition of the differences between the rooms and how they serve traders at different stages.
Thank you again for being part of the community and for sharing your insights. It’s clear you’ve spent time engaging with the material and the rooms, and that perspective is valuable as we continue to refine the experience.
Best regards,

Tr3ndy is the best I've ever used. It just is.
It's been many months since my last review because I really wanted to play this out to see if Jon and Melissa's "tr3ndy" board -- its charts, tutoring, and guidance, have continued to work over the long term. Obviously "to work" is being defined here as making me money; but also it's important to me to be among constructive, fun, cool "hangout" folks who also get things done, since I spend so much time defaulting back to the board throughout the trading day. Here's my bottom line take: it's still an amazing place. I am still making money (more yesterday than any single day so far, on a Melissa trade idea) on a vastly more regular basis than any other service I've used over the past 25 years, I still feel totally welcomed and "heard" on the thread, I get all my questions answered (usually warmly, sometimes with humor, always with 'welcome') that I almost can't believe it. So what can I say? If you're a trader in need of a system, and a fun place to ply it, with lots of profit opportunity literally every morning of the week? Join Simpler/Tr3ndy with Jon and Mel. Come over. Say hello to the rest of us. It's the best hang, honestly. And no one asked me to say this. I'm a private trader writing from NYC about a couple of folks way south whom I've never met, in Florida, who I feel so lucky now to know and be taught by. True is true. -Patrick
