Simpler Trading Reviews 538

Simpler Trading is a valuable golden nugget for retail traders. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgable and helpful. I started my journey with Simpler in 2022 with Raghee Horner in her Sector Secrets Mastery Class. WOW! What a great teacher! Through this class I've been able to get an understanding of the entire market and all of it's nuances. I've learned to trade what I see and not what I think. I literally learn something new everyday and it has paid $$$$ off exponentially for my trading career. I now have skills that will benefit me and my family for the rest of my life and hopefully theirs as well. Each one teach one. I would not trade my Simpler experience for nothing in the world!

The incorporation of macro data is superb. The methodical approach to risk management has been pivotal in building up my confidence.
I'm am a huge fan of RH and her professional approach in handling tough trading environments.
Have officially become a fan of LornaB and her insights.
Have to mention the community of traders that both have built, as a great asset in my learning experience.

The best, the best, the best, and I thank myself everyday for finding Simpler Trading. You literally can not find a better mentorship, trading community, or customer/technical service. RH, LornaBot, and the Trishboss have changed every aspect of the way I traded and I will be forever grateful.

I’m going to try to leave an honest review of both the Strike Zone Mastery room (SZM) and the “$10K to $1 Million” class (10K).

I signed up for the 10K back in May ‘23 which included a year’s subscription to the SZM. The premise was that Joe Rokop had started with a $10k account and grown it to over $400k in a couple of years in SZM, while trading live and recording all trades. The new $10k class was billed as an account reset, to allow new members to get in and follow along with more manageable trade size, with the goal being to grow a $10k account to $1 Million.

10K Class:

-There were two options at time of sign up - a cheaper option with 4 live trading sessions, and a more expensive option with 8 live trading sessions. The problem is that during the extra 4 live sessions for the higher tiered customers, trade alerts were not sent to the lower tiered customers, which caused much confusion, and led to a scenario where there were two different account balances by the end of the 8 sessions, which varied by several thousand dollars (both balances were in the red). Joe then had to manage two separate small accounts with two different approaches as one of the accounts was close to bust.

-It became apparent that this class was not a true account reset, as billed, because Joe was continuing to trade the SZM account and it was revealed that once the $10k accounts got big enough, it would be determined that they could just take the SZM trades, and 10K alerts would end.

-The trade spreadsheet for the 10K accounts has not been updated since August, despite weekly requests to do so. Every week, the requests are either ignored, or met with, “It hasn’t been updated? I’ll look into that…” It’s hard to know where the account balances currently stand due to lack of updates, but probably about close to where they started ($10,000). One of the 10K accounts was down to about $2k at one point, and was instructed to take SZM trades, but with Micros instead of Mini’s. The problem is that commissions were not taken into account with the balances, so I think a lot of people probably went bust.

-There have only been about 3 or 4 trade alerts so far this month for the 10K accounts (which is very few considering the goal was to build up these accounts by day trading). It very much feels like they are just trying to do the bare minimum to be able to say that they haven’t abandoned the 10K class members who signed up for a full year.

-Lastly, the results have been bad. Big drawdown, and no growth in account after 8 months.

SZM:

-Assuming the trade spreadsheet is to be trusted (more on that below), Joe obviously had success in the past with his trading when he was just focussed on one account. Now, he has to think about two different 10K account balances, the SZM account, the optional trades that he also alerts out, and the long term trades that he sometimes alerts out (and are only sometimes included on the trade spreadsheet). It’s hard to day trade in the zone when you see a good entry, but have to stop and think which of 4 accounts is this applicable for. You can hear it in the verbal alerts/live trading… it’s frequently, “Let’s buy 1 NQ, ehh let’s make it optional. Actually, let’s all do it. But only SZM, not the 10K class.” I think if Joe is looking for reasons why his results are suffering, he might want to think about narrowing his focus.

-The trade spreadsheet for the SZM is also not regularly updated, sometimes a month or more goes by without being updated. Funnily enough, it seems that these long stretches without update correspond with periods of drawdown. It seems as if they don’t want to update the spreadsheet until they have a string of winners. In addition, the spreadsheet itself seems a bit dishonest. You can clearly see long term trades in the past have been included on the spreadsheet, but in December, Joe alerted a lot of long term trades which mostly were closed at a significant loss (at least $60k of losses), and for a few days I saw at least some of those trades on the spreadsheet, but now they have decided to not include any of the December long term trades on the spreadsheet. If included, they would have wiped out almost the entire gains from 2023.

-Joe has stated that you need an account size of $25k to take the trades he alerts out, but he clearly does not trade with that risk parameter in mind, as several draw downs would have wiped out accounts of that size.

Results:

-Since I joined last May, the $10k account is breakeven at best (but who knows as they do not update), and the SZM account is also about breakeven in that time span, or down significantly if you include the long term trades. So far, not worth the time or price of admission.

I had canceled my membership just over a week ago. I was on a 50% off discount for the options room fyi.

I had a string of bad trades I took from them as it's my fault as I normally just don't take them blindly. I got frustrated by this and canceled last week.

Once I thought about it, I did want to continue using the service as there are a couple good traders in the room.

I call today and see if I can get my rate back as it's only been 10 days. Haden tells me "no". He could have easily just made a few mouse clicks if he wanted to help me.

Just goes to show how they really don't value their customers as I've spent several thousand with them over the years.

Just be careful with this company and don't just blindly take their trades without checking the charts as the majority will be losers and you will just slowly bleed your account dry.

I've been a customer for 9 months and 2k invested in big 3 squeeze system.
I've don't nothing but lose money following Taylor's trades.
I've contacted customer service once / month to ask how to use their site and system. I get no directions/help except to "watch the video".
I have watched them several times and it jumps over things that should be explained (thus rendering the system unusable).
I have 3 months left of access but, It is not time well spent.
If I could do it over again, I wouldn't buy their big 3 system... But knowing that, I wont try any of their other systems.
For now, I give up on even joining Taylor's live sessions.

Good Traders. Used this service for over 1+ year. It's really very hard to emulate the results of some of the big traders. Risk management especially in the Options Gold room can be improved. Overall good service but I suggest you understand the methods and trade your own plan vs. following the alerts.

The Simpler Trading Community is an amazing community for all levels of traders. I've been involved with this community for a few years and have learned so much. Even my interactions with various departments from sales to technical support have been pleasant and easy to navigate. For 2023 specifically, I've had multiple interactions with Isaac Plentl in sales, and this gentleman has been beyond helpful in my decision making progress for deciding which tools/programs would be the best fit for my current trading goals and aspirations. Without Isaac, I would not have had the knowledge and information needed to secure the proper tools and programs for my trading goals. Isaac always made himself available for all of my questions and was never hard to get in contact with. I really appreciate that level of service and ability to have someone on the other end who knows you, your situation, your goals, and can always assist you with whatever your needs may be. This company overall has amazing customer service and the traders are next level. Whatever trading style you have, there is a trader that you can learn from and grow your skills to new levels. I love how the community is set up to have everything you need from alerts, to live trading, to weekly reports, etc. Everything you need is here. John Carter has created an amazing space for all types of traders with all types of goals. I appreciate John Carter for following his passion for trading and creating the best trading community for any and every style of trading.

Fake ,scam and ponzi . I was locked of my account for weeks .I had to find an alternative by reporting to the team/website written on my profile name and later got my refund of £14k

Total scam. They make all kinds of trades, most of which are losers and then when they finally have one thats a great winner, they develop and indicator and a class around that one trade and make it out to be the what you need to go to the next level. They then sell it to you at a ridiculous price. On top of that, like others have mentioned, I set my subscription to not renew but they charged me anyway and now will not refund my money. They can see how long its been since I logged in and now they have charged me for another 3 months for something I will never use. Do you really want to get involved with or sign up with a company who takes money from people that they havent earned? Complete shysters. BEWARE!!!!!!

Since joining Sector Secrets Mastery, my trading style and approach to the markets has improved greatly.

I've even made money following Raghee Horner in her daily quest to find the best set ups to show folks like me how to extract money from the market instead of hitting and missing trading opportunities as I have done this year.

At first, I thought John Carter's service was hype because of his personal trading journey, but Simpler Trading has serious and REAL people trading & teaching people like me who want to make trading a full-time profession.

Congrats to all the various traders at Simpler Trading and especially Raghee Horner and her crew (LornaBot and the Trish Boss) who have made a believer and a fan out of me!

Raghee's approach simplifies the day trading experience.
I had previously followed a system that had us using multiple timeframes and multiple indicators for each entry and all most of us did was lose money.
With Raghee's system I am making money consistently and when I do experience a loss, it is a very small one.
I am glad I took the trial.

Raghee and Lorna are awesome. Trading with them every day makes me a lot more disciplined than I used to be. I have been trading for 7 years and only Raghee made me realize that capital preservation should be the priority. Trust the process.

There are days that the trends are not what you thought it would be at first. Normally, I would lose a lot on that kind of day. But now, I'm sure glad to have Raghee and her indicators. She walked me through the process and made me see the clarity in each trade.

super scammy, and bad faith operator.

I thought I set the auto-renew to cancel, but they charged me $1970 and said that I never set it to cancel properly.

Regardless, even if it was an honest oversight, I caught it right away after annual billing. They're playing hard-ball and insisting on keeping unearned funds from me.

Passed my first prop firm qualification account thanks to using key concepts learned from experienced futures traders through simpler trading. You will find indicators, strategies, and risk management to incorporate in your own trading. If you don't know where to start there is a place for you here.

In August of 2023 I joined Simpler Trading's "Sector Secret Mastery" run by Raghee Horner. I am relatively new to day trading and I wanted to pick one voice to listen to instead of dabbling in this and that and the other thing. The value she provides is quite literally unreal to me. The schedule is set so I know exactly what to expect. EVERY session is recorded and posted to the archive (with a running clock on-screen so I can mark a point to come back to later). If I miss something and want to dig into it later - no problem. Raghee also has an incredible assistant, Lorna, to answer questions during live trading and also to host the weekly tech session to help noobs like me make sure our charts, platforms and alerts are set up correctly.

Raghee tells it like it is. When we have a trade go against us she takes the time to dissect her thinking at the time as far as what went right, what went wrong, and emphasizes how her rules (our rules if you adopt her system) save us from the pitfalls. Her emphasis on how to lose well and position sizing for risk tolerance is, in my opinion, worth the entire cost of the room. If I learned nothing else from her I could walk away knowing my investment was well worth it.

Raghee is transparent. All the setups are posted in the notes - Entries, targets, stops, etc... It comes fast at first but slows down as you see the trade set-ups day in and day out. She puts out a monthly summary video once the month has closed out with her P&L. You can audit the whole thing because you have the notes from every day (as well as the alerts on the app if she had swings to take). She's pretty critical of herself and goes into detail of what influenced her risk appetite/aggressiveness etc... There is ALWAYS something to learn.

The tone in the room is congenial. She takes it seriously but not harshly. Off topic out-of-bounds chat is immediately dealt with. No jerks allowed.

When I've needed to call their office to clear up issues/ask questions I was treated with respect and courtesy.

In conclusion, I started off skeptical of Simpler Trading and the Sector Secret's Mastery because in my experience "lots of people say lots of things" and then don't deliver. Not only do these guys and gals deliver - they OVER deliver. I don't always have the time to digest all of the extra content that my membership provides (weekly reviews, weekly AMA's, Sunday night Top Tier Outlook newsletter, Tuesday macro-view/portfolio session), but it's there waiting for me on the weeks I have the time. I would highly recommend this room if you are trying to learn day-trading and/or swing-trading, or even just seeing how another professional goes about it.

Incredible value.

Raghee is a patient disciplined trader and a fantastic teacher. Highly recommend

Always learn something new with Raghee & Lorna, even after +35 years of trading. I needed a tune-up (re-training) of when to enter, stop losses, and trail stops. Thank you both!

Simpler Trading is a great place to learn more about day trading, risk management and growing your capital. I especially love being a member of Raghee Horner's Sector Secrets Mastery. I have learned so much and am grateful to have found a seasoned trader who utilizes a consistent process for day trading and swing trading. I highly recommend Simpler Trading.

I made a lot of profit this year just following JOE trade thank you Joe Melisa , Mirza and simpler trading
