So many strategies, styles and different trading views. Sort of like the game "whack a mole". You sometimes feel you are constantly running from one idea to another. Can be overwhelming unless one focuses in on one strategy only.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your review. Everyone has their own learning style and their own approach to trading, which is why all of our traders have unique styles with varying risk tolerance. Finding the best mentor to match your trading plan is an absolute must. We’d love to help you find this match. Can you please email us at [email protected] or call us at 512-266-8659?

Feedback from my situation
I live (am stuck)here in the Phillipines. There seems to a delay in receiving the alerts via email. Ihave not figured out the problem. With gmail the delay is around 5 hours. I switched to protomail but the delay is still 3 hours. So it is difficult to place a timely trade. Secondly, i think flys and condors are too complex for me at this point. I would like sell expensive options like amzn call or put spreads $5 wide when there is mkt chop and the candles are moving in my favor. Can you please cover these more please? The other issue i feel that there are too many instructors with different styles. I like and understand John and Henry the best,

Hi Herbert,
Thanks for your feedback. We usually don't recommend customers retrieve trade alerts via email. We suggest relying on the app as the most effective way to retrieve alerts. If you are not receiving the alerts at all via email, please email us at [email protected] or call us at 512-266-8659 and we can further look into the issue.
We understand that not all strategies work for everyone, which is why we suggest members only take trades that they’re comfortable with, and for you that might mean focusing on call and put options.
Sincerely,
The Simpler Trading Team

New to Trading Thoughts
I am closing in on retirement and wanted to continue to grow my investment/savings into my retirement and leave something to my children.
I researched and saw a seminar that John Carter was in and was introduced to John and am currently reading his book Mastering the Trade.
I purchased the indicator bundle and took the Ready.Aim.Fire Course. I enjoyed the course. Unfortunately I do work during the day and was unable to take advantage of the live trading. But I was impressed. I am using the lessons learned and studies in my trading.
I then purchased the scanner membership and am still learning how to take advantage.
I then purchased a class bundle that was on sale. This is were I was disappointed. The classes were at least 2 years or older and most were over 5 years. I am taking the principles taught and trying to apply to current conditions, but it is not the same today as was happening in 2013.
I was looking into options membership before I bought the class bundle, but after my experience with the class bundle I am very hesitate to invest to be disappointed again. I have a small account so the membership per year is substantial.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with some of our courses. There's valuable lessons and insights that come from our older classes, which is why they're still available, but with a significant discount compared to our live classes that focus on current market conditions. If you're considering our Options membership, we encourage you to try our $7 trial for 7 days so there's little invested before you decide if it's right for you. If you have any questions, please send us a message at [email protected] or call us at 512-266-8659.
All the best,
The Simpler Trading Team

Not enough live support
Not enough live support. The company seems more interested in selling indicators than coaching and teaching.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Todd. We're a growing company, and there are a lot of people asking questions in our live trading rooms and our moderators aren't always able to address each individual question. If your question isn’t answered, we encourage you to reach out to support at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help you.
Sincerely,

Profit Pilot review
Currently subscribed to Profit Pilot and one thing I notice that is mildy annoying is the website navigation for finding the Profit Pilot current portfolio and other useful subscription info is not easily foumd. #2 concern is that this spreadsheet often is nchamged for several days without new trades being updated or positions sold being updated. I ser other traders expressing these dame concerns in chat room so i know this is a common issue.

I am still losing money a lot
I am still losing money a lot. Last week I attended a course from Danielle and I believe she is a good coach but I took all her recommended trades and lost a lot today. Very bad day in my trading career. I lost almost 48% of my account value today

Hi Trader,
Our philosophy is to teach our members which strategies have worked best for our traders so that they can be successful trading on their own. We encourage members to develop their own trading style based on their risk preferences and the types of instruments they like to trade, and view our professional traders as guides. With that being said, we care deeply about the success of our members, and we’re sorry to hear that you didn’t find success with one of our memberships.
Sincerely,
The Simpler Trading Team

Although the traders in the gold…
Although the traders in the gold options room are very knowledgeable, in the 3 plus months that I have been a member I have noticed that most of the trades posted in the hours I am able to trade 9:30 am EST- 2pm EST require too much buying power for my account size and risk tolerance. I have also noticed that some of the time in the options trading room during said hours is often taken up by mentors who trade futures or on tech equipment searches on Amazon and not posting options trades, although such things are helpful under limited circumstances, they should be rare.
I also notice that I am constantly bombarded, for lack of a better term with sales pitches for classes or study packages that with all due respect are priced 2-3 times what a small account retail trader can afford to spend on " education" the best education is actually trading low risk set ups that one can build upon, base hit after base after base hit is the best way to put runs on the scoreboard, "small ball" in baseball terms.
I intend to stick with the service for now, but my patience is limited. I would like to see more trade ideas, 3-5 per day as market conditions warrant that require no more than $300 of buying power and involve no more than $300 max loss per trade.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We recommend everyone size their trades according to their account. So if our traders in our Options Gold live trading room do 4 contracts on a 10k account, and you've got 5k, just do 2 contracts. We’ve shared your concerns with our content team and moderators. We’re always striving to improve our services and your feedback is invaluable.
We agree that no matter what size account your trading, it's important to consider the risk and set up trades that minimize the risk while maximizing your potential gain. However, everyone has a unique approach to trading and their own styles/preferences, which is why we strive to make tools, resources and courses to fit each individual's needs.
We hope you’ll stick around to see how we continue to improve our service. If you find Options Gold isn’t for you, you may want to check out one of our Mastery programs that focus on sending trade alerts from specific traders, such as John Carter, Danielle Shay, or Allison Ostrander. Send us a note at [email protected] to learn more.
Sincerely,
The Simpler Trading Team

Trading queries are not answered
I have noticed that it is quite difficult to emulate John's entry on bullish days. However, I have been able to replicate the entry of any other moderator on the Simpler Trading platform.
Simpler Trading needs to improve its customer service as I often don't get a response on emails about particular trade and it is virtually impossible for a moderator to respond to 1700+ people.
Response from Simpler TradingDec 28, 2020
Thank you for your feedback, Mirage.
We understand that not all strategies and entries work for everyone, which is why we suggest members only take trades that they’re comfortable with, and for you that might mean focusing on other moderators' trades.
We work hard to provide as much support as we can for all of our products and services. If you had trouble with our customer service, please understand that we are doing our absolute best to help all of our customers as we all transition to a new normal with coronavirus.
Sincerely,
The Simpler Trading Team
