Ok here's the funny thing about reading all of the reviews given for simpler trading... not one review says they are making any money??? Isn't that the whole idea? just curious.

Hi there,
As a financial education company, our first goal is teaching successful trading strategies. That being said, if you read over ALL of the reviews on TrustPilot, you'll find ones like this: https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6033fa36f85d750b989d5f7f

Poor Customer Service
I am a fan of John Carter and have read two of his books. For that reason, I joined two different rooms within the Simpler trading web site. I tried asking questions to no available and felt they were more interested in up selling than actually teaching.
As a result, I thought I would try the scanner and selectively trade myself. I started by reading all of the different scans and the material displayed on the the information button for each scan.
The first question I raised to support involved a couple of potential conflicts with the definitions used in the squeeze and the scanner description. I explained I did not want to pace a trade unless I understood the ambiguity in one of the column descriptions. Support explained since I did not understand the squeeze I should not be trading.
My second question stemmed from one of the classes I took with John Carter. His set up appears consistent and simple. It involves using his daily stacked EMA's, in a daily squeeze and entry price close to the 21 day EMA. After reading all of the scan documentation I could not determine which scan used these conditions. I wrote to support inquiring which scan I should use following what John himself teaches. I was told by support if I did not like the scan I should write my own!
Such a big disappointment in a supporter of the squeeze set up. I never received an answer.
Someone should hire an English major to clean up language inconsistences in documentation and clean house in customer support.

Hi Frank,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Our internal teams have been notified about your experience and we’ll be looking into it. Please know that our company strives to deliver exceptional experiences and deliver priceless content. We’re sincerely apologetic that your experience did not meet our expectations.
We’ve also let our product team know about the ambiguity around certain scans and the supporting documentation so that we can correct that information.
To properly answer your 2 questions,
1. Yes, you were right that the compression is shown under the Strength column. It refers to the three different settings of the Squeeze Pro.
1-Low = black dots
2-Mid = red dots
3-High = orange dots
2. The Daily Bullish Continuation Pro scan covers John’s full setup.
Again, we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We hope that you will give us another chance.
Sincerely,
The Simpler Trading Team

Once again Simpler Trading in messing…
Once again Simpler Trading in messing with the facts. All they did is have the same guy talk me into buying the TTM Squeeze pro for $200 more than I paid for the option platform. They them gave me a credit for the option program which had me lose money. It turns out TTM PRO gives the exact same signals as the free version in Think or Swim, except the are a few different colors to make it look different. Don't give them your money.

Hi Henry,
Our records show you were refunded for your membership fee. However, we cannot refund you for the separate purchase you made on an indicator. If you're having trouble with the Squeeze Pro, send us an email and we'll help you out.
You can see some of the differences between the Squeeze Pro and the TTM Squeeze highlighted in the video on this product page: https://www.simplertrading.com/squeeze-pro-indicator/

Bait and Switch
The Squeeze Pro indicator doesn't come in the "Multi Squeeze Pro Indicator" purchase as indicated. The ultimate bait and switch. Do you want want you already paid for? That's going to be hundreds more dollars. And customer service is unwilling to help - no response to voicemail, then a long hold time, then they won't give a refund even though they "understood the confusion" as the name of the indicator is in the title of the purchase...
Edited to add, in response to the reply - Nowhere on the page to buy the Multi Squeeze Pro does it indicate this, nor link to the page you did. (I know because I searched high and low before I purchased). There is also a photo on the purchase page that shows the Squeeze Pro in the background.
The irony is, the lack of clarity on the website isn't the problem. The problem is the lack of customer service. I would have loved a call back after I left a message the first time, and then upon my second call, I would have been happy with "Yeah, I can see how that's not super clear. We will work on clarifying that. Here's how we are going to make it right..." Instead, I was told "no refunds" and "here's a link to a different part of the website, updated recently, that says how we are right and the customer is wrong."

Hi Michele,
Thank you for your review. We strive to be as transparent as possible, which is why the Multi-Squeeze Pro Indicator sales page does not indicate that it includes the Squeeze Pro indicator. Both do use "Squeeze" in the name as they are used to identify squeezes in the market, but they are two different tools. We also provide a breakdown on our site sharing the difference between the two indicators, how they interact with each other, and that both are sold separately. Here's a link for reference: https://intercom.help/simpler-trading/en/articles/3999973-about-multi-squeeze-pro
We hope that clarifies things!
Sincerely,
The Simpler Trading Team
Edit:
Thank you for your updated response. We appreciate your detailed feedback and have shared it with our Ecommerce team, such as replacing the image for the bonus indicator setup session which does show both the Multi Squeeze and the Squeeze Pro. We've also suggested updating the page's FAQ. In full transparency, the sales page does explicitly state that it includes the Multi Squeeze Pro Indicator, plus Indicator Setup and Lifetime Updates and there's no mention of the Squeeze Pro indicator in the package. To further clarify, please understand that we shared the link above to help clear up any confusion in the difference between the 2 indicators.
Unfortunately, we can't offer refunds on our digital assets as stated in our terms & conditions. Not only is there no way for you to return the product, but there are a lot of companies out there trying to scam us by reselling our intellectual property. That's why our terms are clear about no refunds. Having said that, we're sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your experience. We are always striving to improve our customer experience and really appreciate your insights.
Thank you,
Simpler Trading Team

Small Account “Mastery”
Have a small account? Then you should know “Small Account Mastery” will try to upsell you multiple times after your purchase is complete and non-refundable
You will end up spending a large portion of your account just for the basic intro to Options, and then be told you need to spend more and more to be in-the-know about the real tactics and tech analysis tools (which were talked up as a selling point during the initial webinar, but then not included in any of the first 3 package levels).
Bait and switch on people who cannot afford it, from a guy who made $17m this year!
Terrible experience

Our Small Account Mastery comes with 2 Options Training Courses for free. Our Options 101 course is included in Small Account Mastery along with an Options Bootcamp. There are also Options training videos available to you in the Learning Center. We hope that clarifies a few things.

I was banned from chat by asking John Carter to tell more about markets than his personal wealth while users were losing money on his trades a couple of weeks in a row
I’ve been with Simpler Trading since beginning of 2020, I’m subscribed to all of their services and I spent well over $25k on their programs, indicators and courses; I also introduced around 10 other traders to at least sign up and try. Simpler Trading is first of all a high marketing machine focused on sales, sales and more sales; actual trading and helping out traders is a second thing for them. The biggest issue is that the service is focused on full-time traders and its seasoned members. If you are a newer trader or you don’t have time to watch all their sessions and monitor their chat you won’t get too much of actual help. Some of their moderators are quite arrogant for newer traders - treating all newer traders who ask questions as if they were expecting them moderators to handle only winning trades. You’ll hear from moderators: "I didn’t want to say anything yesterday to X or Y so that they learnt their lesson". Its founder and star trader - John Carter - is star only because of his very large account. He will teach a lot of valuable rules but not always stick to them, or he will make new rules as he goes, making traders confused. He has a service dedicated to (and marketed as such for) newer traders, who don’t watch charts full-time - it’s fully managed service. He managed to bring down the account down by -30% in 3 weeks - although he has a rule that he is out for a week if his NLV drops by 5%. I was wondering why there is not much criticism from users inside the chat, but there is outside them, and I found the answer hard way - I was banned on the chat by asking JC to tell more about markets instead of what he managed to buy with all his gains. It’s fine talking about gains but I feel it’s tasteless to do so while so many users lost money on his trades. So after they banned me they charge me full amount although I can’t communicate with moderators or members. It seems it’s a community of only successful traders who don’t like to hear any criticism whatsoever, moreover they will take features away from you but will still charge you full price.

Hi Cyprian,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you aren't satisfied with your experience so far. However, we'd like to clarify that you were not banned from our services. You did lose commenting privileges in our chat room after repeatedly violating our Trading Room Rules, which can be found in your member dashboard. These rules explain that we do not tolerate disrespectful behavior, distracting other members, and getting off topic. You are still able to take full advantage of our services, but you are not able to harass our traders and community members. If you have questions, you can contact our support team at [email protected]
All the best,
The Simpler Trading Team

They’re terrible
They’re terrible. Stay clear. They sold me a $700 video full of general information and empty promises. The membership is basically a website to get more of your money. They figure if you’re dumb enough to hand them one check maybe you’ll hand them another one. Any complaints? “Please refer to our no refund policy”. I gave them many chances- NOTHING
