About 35% are bad picks and he never mentions that stock again and you take a huge loss, or he says buy more when it's falling like OKLO in Oct 30 (stock was $140.40) he said buying more on Nov 3, Nov 5 and Nov 12. (Prices $127.44, $119.78, $112.66) and never mentioned it again. Continued to fall to $82.88. OKLO on Dec 23 (price was $83.81 and still falling at $71.26 never mentioned again. I lost $30k between those 2 trades. Yet he constantly repeats "We hold Calls". Currently holding his pick on GOOGL that fell and I'm currently $15k negative. He picked on Dec 23 a 315 strike with a buy price of $8.40, I bought at $7.67. The only day I could have got out in the green was the 23rd. There was a 1 minute spike on Dec 30 at 9:32am, if I wasn't tied up, I could have got out with a small win $40 / contract, but fell immediately. Now it has to go to $318 for me to be green on Jan 2 or $319.5 to be green on Jan 5th. If I would have bought Puts on his picks, I would be up $35k in 2 days. Every dollar I earned following his good picks, I lost on his bad picks. My suggestion is if you are more than 10% negative on his picks either take the loss and close it or hedge the trade with buying an ITM Put with the same expiration date. He is also rude if you ask a question about his losing picks. Paid for 1 year of Spread trades, I received 2 in 45 days.

Hi Hanna Mays and Ritch Mays, We’re responding publicly because these reviews make “scam” claims while describing what is overwhelmingly a risk-management and execution problem. First, “scam/fraud” is a serious allegation. Neither review claims unauthorized charges or stolen funds. What you describe is losing trades and frustration. Losses are part of trading. A losing trade is not fraud. Hanna: “You never see the guru trade live.” Correct. Trade Genie is not a livestream entertainment channel. It’s a trade-alert and education service. Many serious traders don’t broadcast live executions because it turns trading into performance instead of process. Ritch: “About 35% are bad picks.” No legitimate strategy wins 100%. What matters is whether the trader follows a plan and controls downside. The losses you cite ($30k on OKLO and $15k on GOOGL) are not the signature of “bad picks.” They are the signature of oversized positions, late entries, averaging down without strict limits, and holding without disciplined exits. Your OKLO example is the clearest. You repeatedly bought more as it fell, then held through a major drawdown. Averaging down in volatile names and options is not something anyone should do casually. Scaling only works inside a predefined plan: predefined levels, strict max size, and a hard max loss. If “buy more” becomes “keep buying because I’m hurting,” that’s emotional averaging, not professional risk management. Your GOOGL example also reveals the real issue: “the only day I could have got out green was the 23rd” and “there was a 1-minute spike.” That means your exit plan became hoping for a brief spike you might catch while you were busy. That is not a system. Options punish hope. They reward planning. If you can’t monitor and execute, you must size smaller, use defined-risk spreads, hedge intentionally, or stand down. “If I had bought puts, I’d be up $35k” is hindsight. After a drop, the puts always look obvious. Before the move, it’s probable. Also, we don’t force bearish trades just to satisfy someone’s preference. We trade what the market gives. “He never mentions the stock again.” Professionals don’t fix losses with more commentary. They fix them with stops, hedges, and exit rules. If a trader holds through invalidation, that’s a personal decision, not “abandonment.” “Only 2 spread trades in 45 days.” We don’t send trades for entertainment. We send trades when the setup is there. Quality over quantity. Bottom line for readers: these reviews describe traders taking large concentrated risk, averaging down, and holding deep drawdowns, then blaming the service. No alert service on earth can protect someone from oversized positions and refusal to follow a risk plan. If you want to make this factual, post the exact alerts you’re referencing (ticker, date, entry guidance), your actual entry, your position size, and what you did when it moved against you. That transparency will show what really happened. Noshee Khan TradeGenie.com NosheeKhan.com
