Beware! They will scamm you by offering $7 dollar/ month promotion course and then charge you the complete fare!

Majority of the online personal dont explain there actions, charts, verbiage, not all of us are seasoned traders majority are new and after a few weeks get frustrated and go elsewhere. Mobile app doesn't fit well with my android phone either. thanks for listening

I cancelled during my free trial, and they still charged me for the last two months even after I canceled. They refunded the last bill but said they can’t refund the other $247 because it is more than 30 days away. Don’t do the free trial, they’ll just scam you into taking $247 a month away from you

This company will not make you money. Let alone make you a millionaire like the "promotional video" shows you. Those are trades from 2019 and 2020. There are no million-dollar trades during or after 2021. I took their trades and lost $9500. They advertise the small account mastery with John Carter but it is actually run by someone else. They do not give alerts and will let trades go to $0, as they have money to burn. All they want to do is sell you on classes and indicators that are not needed. You can even call TD Ameritrade and ask them, as they make fun of people who buy their indicators because they are available in the think or swim platform. There is no actual live trading, they just give you a trade, and it only works 30% of the time, if that. Do not join this company, you will just lose money. Do not purchase any of the classes or there indicators. The indicators are extremely delayed and have no real purpose.

Options gold (OG) - It's a fun place to be and watch, but there's so much going on all the time, it's impossible to track unless you're trading full time and just supplement CNBC for Option Gold room. The money made here is also suspect at times. I tracked each trade for each trader for about 2 months, and the P&L across the entire board was a loss. I will say, this is a great place to start to see which trader matches your style, but it's mainly used a vehicle for you to buy something else (class, mastery, indicators). And of course, as soon as you like a trader, chances are others are as well, and the herd follows this person until they create a class/mastery, you join that too (at a cost) and then it drops. Profit Recycling – This felt like it was going to be a great room. I joined shortly before the price increased to give it a try and it just didn’t. The trader does respond quite often, and I’ve heard from others it has improved a bit, but I left with a bad taste in my mouth. It feels like there’s a lot of techniques utilized in this room that if you didn’t also purchase the classes or indicators used by this trader, you won’t be able to follow or recreate the success. This was another “base hit” room for small wins, but the small wins were never greater than the losses. Compound Growth Mastery – This is the one that I might still recommend to people, but its painfully obvious the trader in this room is getting pushback to spend more time developing courses, indicators, or posting in the Options Gold room. I joined this when it first launched, and it was amazing (seeing a pattern here?) – the trader spent almost 10-15 hours a week in the room, explaining in-depth everything he could. But lately, he’s been completely absent – you’ll see him post in OG but forget to manage the open positions in his mastery. It seems like he had grand plans to make a mini-SAM course, but ST management told him to stop and make it vague or add items that differentiated it. His “simple approach” that used only off the shelf indicators has morphed into a complex technique and must use his new charts. I do feel for the guy, there was once a class on an indicator that JC was pushing, and all of the sudden this trader had it all over his charts – it was a bit of a joke, and you could hear him straining to defend why it appeared all of the sudden. Needless to say, when the JC class was over, this indicator disappeared from his charts shortly after. Simpler Support – This is an item where I want everyone to read, but people might skip passed. The support group replies here are hard to read, you can see they’re all canned when it’s a one-star review and seem to be very caring – when that’s been far from the experience I’ve had. If you want to purchase something, or having an issue with a purchase, you might have a great reply. But, if you have a question that they might deem as negative, you’ll either be ignored or met with hostility. I understand customer support is never a fun job, and for every person with a well-mannered question, you’ll have 10 that are rude and abrasive, but it’s painfully obvious to see them cheerfully help those with sales questions to aggressively defend those asking for clarification on an arguable “shady” change made behind the scenes. Simpler exists to sell courses or indicators, that’s pretty much the short of it. It took me over 3 years to learn this painful fact, but that’s the truth. I love hearing the discussion and JC’s take on the markets, but his attention is gone from the company. The other traders are trying their best, and I have no doubt they want to make everyone money with them, but as soon as one start succeeding, you’re guaranteed to see a marketing email shortly after “See how Trader made over 50K in these volatile markets” where you’ll be asked to pay over $2K to join their class and 4 days of live trading. You must ask yourself why they keep pushing fresh sales so hard if the traders are profitable… Hopefully you can see I’m not just voting one star and saying “ST SUCKS, STOLE MY MONEY” – I really tried to give them a chance and joined multiple different services. They will not make you a profitable trader by following their trades. They might make you a good trader by education.

Simpler is a great place to learn the basics if you're brand new to the markets or options trading, but do not ever take their trades. Their marketing material is so aggressively pushed and borders on lying in the results they've published. They'll take snapshots of events (when an account goes from 10K to 50K), choose the 3 best trades with hindsight, and market the heck out of it. What they won't show you is when the account then goes from 50K to 3.5K thereafter when all the new users join. Or make outlandish claims of "How I turned 10K into 350K in months" when this was done in a paper trading account and the only way to join in with this is post massive margins. A lot of the 'look at what we did' material is focused on the post-COVID markets, where everything was going up over time. Now that we're entering bear territory, the success rate has been horrible. My experience thus far (I am posting from an annon account, so ST does not try and locate me. I am still a member of a few of their services): SAM (Small Acct Mastery) was very successful when it first launched but rode the post-COVID wave. It's now been down from 10k to ~3.5K twice since I've joined (he reset the account when it went so low the first time). John Carter does not post in this room anymore and is totally absent – he might give a weekly update once in a while, enter a few trades, but then disappears after. This room now belongs to Kody, who while being dealt a bad hand to take over, has tried to move to a day trading strategy. This works if you're following along at every step, but if you miss a day or come back to your trading account from a few hours of a day job (which JC advertised SAM as), you'll have missed the move and you're out. Kody did start a strategy that was working, but of course - as soon as it started making money, he no longer posts them and Simpler is going to make a class out of it (which you will need to purchase). It seems Simpler creates a strategy to demonstrate quick success, and then burns it out. Rinse and repeat. Kody success with Options has been not as bad as JC’s, but it’s more of ‘death from a thousand needles’ as opposed to JC’s ‘swing for the fences and strike out’. I really want SAM to work, and still want to participate, but the losses are just brutal. If you try and pick and choose which trades to follow, you’ll inevitably miss the ones that win – but if you take each trade exactly, you’ll be out thousands of dollars, and you won’t see that stat anywhere on the website, marketing material, talking to support, or anyone else besides those that post reviews here or speaking to others that have left the service (and there have been a lot). Strike Zone (SZ) - This was an amazing room when it first launched. The trader took the account through careful planning and running from 10K to about 100K, and it was a great ride. But then things started to turn weird. If you questioned the returns, he'd flat out block you from the room, or would enter an incredibly aggressive rant. The problem is, if you didn't join when it was 10k, you CANNOT participate and receive the gains he does now - he bets as if his account is 350K and will add 10 to 15 contracts on to average up/down the cost-basis, and then get out on a spike - then claim, "look I made money, you're just stupid if you'd didn't follow". If you don't have that kind of leverage, you're screwed - you just followed along when he said "b1 es mp" and couldn't add 15 positions when the market dropped 30 points. The trader also trades in a paper account with a third-party company. I’m sure ST will refute this, but I was also a trader with that company for a time, and their account #’s are named such to differentiate between a “Demo account” and a “Live account”. There’s been a few times where the trader was sharing his screen, moved some windows around, and you could see his account number for an instant – it always a demo account. You might ask ‘Yeah, well gains are gains, right?’ – and you’re technically right, but we all know there’s far less emotion in a paper account versus a live margined account. If he puts 10 contracts long on a day, and they’re all stopped out – he may be annoyed he ‘lost’, but he’s not out $10,000 – whereas if you were following along, you are. There’s multiple days where he’s down 10k-15k, then comes back and keeps trading to make the day positive. Guess what’s advertised to those that were not in the room… “I made 3-4K yesterday, and you can too!”. Every person is different, but once I was down 5-10K a day, I walked away, which then deviates from the whole “The SZ book is massively up, you must have messed up to not be at the same number”. Try and bring this up, and you’re banned or told ‘Manage your own risk’. I'm running out of room, but tl;dr - ST will not make you money. You might learn some new things, but following their trades will kill your trading acct.

Small account mastery = Small account destruction 01.01.2022 - account balance was $10,000 (After being reset from massive loss in 2021) 27.06.2022 - account balance is $3,500 This speaks enough.

Last year I subscribed to the options gold room, the small account mastery room, sectors secrets mastery and TG’s “ moxie” room. I spent a lot of money on these subscriptions thinking I would learn how to trade and make money. While the sector secrets has been good and worth its money I found the TG’s moxie room only lost me a ton of money so I cancelled any renewals for that room. I was still hopeful for both the rooms that John Carter spends time in which are the gold room and small account mastery(SAM) room. In both rooms I lost a ton of money following John Carter’s trades. He enters the trades at the highs and thus ends up in a loss pretty much the next day from which he does not recover. Then instead of realizing that his entry choice on the trade was very poor and trying to manage the trade he exits at close to near max loss. The only thing that John carter is good at doing nowadays is selling you yet another indicator plus course as he simply has not made much money since summer last year. His one off winning trade is cancelled out by his majority losing trades. He predicts the market to crash and so shorts the market as it was making new all time highs. He only buys Tesla now as it is about to crash so he loses big time on his current Tesla trades. Plus he was predicting new all time highs in the markets for January yet the markets kept going lower. His performance since summer last year has been abysmal at best and all he can do now to make money is sell vulnerable people yet another course that will NOT help anyone make money. John Carter needs to get some integrity and stop charging people to lose them money. This year I ONLY follow the sector secrets mastery room as Raghee Horner at least is able to trade in a way that makes money! I’ve been very very disappointed in how Simpler Trading is now just a marketing platform! So sad
