Trading Made Simple - VIP PlanReviews of tradingmadesimple.org

Answered my issues Tomoo did a very good job I’m looking forward to doing more trades

I joined the VIP plan of trading made simple about A month ago. I am a new trader and in such a short period of time I have learned so much. Sandra and her team are absolutely amazing and respond to your questions quickly. There discord platform is one of the best i have seen. They offer private coaching calls as well and that comes with the plan as well. I have been working with Paulo who is great and has patience of a saint. Most important reason why I joined trading made simple is they do all the homework and backtesting and give you a weekly watchlist with all the info you need to enter trades. I run my own business and do not have the time to watch charts all day and find entry points so this is perfect for me to earn extra income for retirement.

Tomoo was awesome as usual with my questions

Super helpful. Clear and concise. Helped with actionable strategies. I'll be back!

Mr Woo was very helpful with getting me more familiar with Think and Swim identifying best strike prices.

This program is heavily marketed as a “set and forget” trading system compatible with both ThinkorSwim (TOS) and IBKR. My experience shows that this is not true for IBKR, and the gap between marketing and reality is significant. I joined specifically for the Autopilot and Swing trade alerts, not coaching. I was told that as someone with prior options trading experience, I would not need a coach, so I did not enroll in the $12,000 lifetime coaching program. Instead, I planned to pay $3,000 for the annual program, with the option to later upgrade to $6,000 for lifetime access to Autopilot and Swing trades. I paid $1,500 upfront, but after encountering major issues, I realized the program was not suitable for me. IBKR Compatibility Issue On IBKR, stop-loss and take-profit orders are not anchored to the actual fill price. They remain fixed based on the market price at the moment the order is submitted. This makes it impossible to execute percentage-based exits reliably and completely breaks the “set and forget” promise. Despite following the training videos step by step, asking questions in the Ask-Sandy Discord channel (Nov 18, 2025), raising the issue again by email on November 26, 2025, and being advised to contact IBKR directly, IBKR confirmed this behavior is platform-level and expected. This contradicts what I was told by the company. As a result, I cannot set and forget these trades. I must manually adjust exits after fills, and sometimes I miss them. This defeats the purpose of Autopilot. Performance Concerns Even with only one contract per trade, after less than two months: • Swing trades resulted in approximately $4,000 in unrealized losses • Autopilot trades were also negative over recent months For an alerts-only service, the risk-adjusted performance does not justify the high price. Other services provide better results at a fraction of the cost. Refund Policy There is no 30-day refund policy. Even if you realize within weeks that the program does not work for you or your broker, you are stuck. When I declined to pay the second installment due to ongoing failures, my request for a proportional refund was refused. Why so many 5-star reviews? Most positive reviews focus on coaching, not the actual alert performance or execution results. Once someone pays $12,000 for lifetime coaching with no refund, there is little incentive to leave an honest negative review, even if dissatisfied. Bottom Line • Marketed as IBKR-compatible – not true in practice • “Set and forget” – impossible on IBKR • High cost – poor performance • No safety net – no refunds This is a clear case of marketing versus reality. If you are an IBKR user, be extremely cautious before enrolling.

Coach LJ was patient and understanding. I have a lot of work to do and he was able to explain a lot.

I was very pleased with the coaching. He was patient with me as I have an unusual computer set up. He took time to explain the why and how in detail.
