Trading Made Simple - VIP PlanReviews of tradingmadesimple.org

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.

The fundamental course being sold is a series of modules that don't seem well organized in terms of outlining what the goals are for each module. They most often start with a screen visual with no explanation of what we are looking at or how it was obtained. There are these stock "notes" for example that I have no idea how to obtain. Visuals are everything, and the assumption should be that not everyone has two big screen monitors to view the tiny details on you trading platform screen, which may require you to use more sophisticated software to zoom in on details when needed or present power point slides to clearly state the steps. Since the student has to pay an astronomical amount more to get 1:1 coaching and watch lists, instruction on the steps to building a watch list with fundamental principals should be given to make the course complete. Finally, the modules introduce three separate platforms and set ups, with no explanation why these platforms were needed. I had to send an email requesting explanation. It should be made very clear that everything outside of SinkOrSwim is optional or designed for those who don't want to trade with Charles Schwab.
