Plenty of useful information and ideas in options room during live trading sessions. Daily email updates provide actionable ideas and set-ups. Being a member of Simpler Trading shortens the learning curve in the real "game for adults".

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

I've been with Simpler for over a year…
I've been with Simpler for over a year now. I've been in the markets for 30+ years and actively trading options for about 15. While I got the basics from other services, none compare to the training and tools at Simpler. This isn't a one stop shop where you only trade it their way. There are many ways to achieve your goals and they TEACH you had to do it many ways so you aren't dependent on them. You become much better at recognizing set-ups and capitalizing on them. Is every trade a winner, no, but a 75-80% win is far better than most. It takes time to learn how to let the winners ride and cut short those that aren't performing. The Simpler will TEACH you what to look for in each case. No matter your experience, the Simpler way will help you become a better trader in a style that suits you.

I have traded stocks for quite a few years, but for the first time I am learning how to do more than straight puts or calls. I am in the Small Account group and not only is my account increasing, but I am learning from John Carter how to trade. In actuality, I have learned there is a whole new trading world out there I knew nothing about. A big part of my education is reading John's book, Mastering the Trade, which is essential reading for anyone who wants a look behind the trading curtain.

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

I joined many services before but…
I joined many services before but Simpler Trading is the best. I love the option room because you have access to so many different traders who trade their own money and who has different styles. I also like the fact that everything is recorded so if I need to go back on a certain day I can. I have learned alot and I will continue to stay with Simpler Trading. Thanks
