I was with Vanessa on Friday, my first time with her as one of my coaches. Vanessa was very helpful with several questions re: building a trade. We had a good time, or at least I did. Vanessa was easy to speak with and shared some great input.

Good teaching, but the autopilot method isn’t paying off right now I paper traded the Trading Made Simple weekly options method from the foundational program and checked my results every week against Sandra’s own Coaches’ Watchlist Tracker. Her teaching is clear and the setups make sense. The weak spot is the hands-off, autopilot style of trading that the foundational program promises. That promise is what draws people into the $8,000 VIP coaching. Sandra’s own tracker shows the problem. Her $10,000 autopilot account had grown to $32,083 by June 30, 2026. Since then it has closed 56 trades and won 53.6% of them, and it finished at $31,798 on October 9. That’s $285 less than where it stood at the end of June. It reached a new high of $32,617 on September 30, then gave back $819 over the next seven trading days. Last week alone it lost $781 on five trades, and only one of them won. Period Trades Win rate Net result Ending balance 2024 (Jul to Dec) 137 63.5% +$4,917 $14,917 2025 (full year) 360 48.1% +$12,104 $27,021 2026 (Jan to Oct 9) 192 64.1% +$4,777 $31,798 Jan to Jun 2026 136 68.4% +$5,062 $32,083 Jul 1 to Oct 9, 2026 56 53.6% -$285 $31,798 I’m sure VIP students who work with her team every day and watch their trades get more out of it. That’s a different product from what the foundational program promises, though. If you’re a beginner or intermediate trader, my advice is to wait until the market is trending up again, or until you have time to work with her team daily. There’s value here, but I don’t think a newer trader will earn back the cost of this program in the current market. Advanced traders who can manage their positions actively have a better shot.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for recognizing the value of our education and coaching. I want to emphasize an important distinction: Trading Made Simple is an education and coaching company. We teach traders how to understand, program, and manage automated trading strategies. We are not financial planners, and we do not promise investment returns. Past performance of any trading strategy is not indicative of future results. No strategy performs consistently in every market environment, and automation does not eliminate market risk. Since the escalation of geopolitical conflict, market conditions have been particularly challenging. We regularly discuss these conditions with our members, emphasize risk management, and strongly encourage simulated trading until members become proficient, particularly during difficult markets. Our Autopilot program is designed to teach a structured, rules-based approach to trading automation, not to guarantee profitability or replace the importance of understanding market risk. We appreciate your feedback and remain committed to providing quality education, personalized coaching opportunities, practical tools, and ongoing member support.

First, I am sure about Jesus. ...plus, Sandra, thank you for the opportunity to learn basic trading with you and your team. Trading Made Simple is an excellent program to learn and use the thinkorswim platform with specific insights that are extremely valuable. It takes tremendous focus to learn how to place even pre-vetted trades correctly. The fact that online "learning webinars" take way too much time beating around bushes when "you're looking for very specific answers"..., the Trading Made Simple one-on-one coaching is invaluable. With my "small" rollover IRA portfolio, I couldn't learn enough fast enough to actually make money with auto-trades being offered weekly that I could not afford to keep paying for coaching and the lifetime program, but I, by the grace of God, have been learning enough to scrap may way into experiencing nearly $25K gains in 3 months through the vetted potential of TradeSmith Options360 trades possibilities. Thanks to TMS. ...but the pre-TMS scrounging for good, honest market learning info with crippling credit cards debts, including some expenses for stocks info received from very interesting but "too late to prosper properly" information sources, ...to slide into realistic market options trading have made my jungle journey of juggling fixed income cash flow path into success a positive miracle. I suggest Trading Made Simple, Larry Benedict's "The Opportunistic Trader" and TradeSmith are the real deals in grasping for success. The other programs I tried are NOT helpful to individuals looking to begin learning anything but "hard knocks" as I PAID dearly for "you're on your own" info. Juggling credit card debt to fund my market escapades are my attempts to let the higher power help keep me faithfully moving forward through this financial lifetime. God's got positive plans available for each of us to accept. Thanks always, Daniel
