Review of S&P Trader. This program is a complete misrepresentation. First, in the ad to get you to buy it, they say make one trade daily before 10 AM and go away. In reality, this is a full time job. The other misrepresentation is how they calculate the profits. You are given a number to use to make the trade and told not to chase a lower number. When they calculate their profits, they use a number which is 20% above what he sets. This difference results in a slight profit versus a loss which you will receive for a full time job. Do not get into any of these programs, they are all scams and losers. The one trade that looked like a winner was his quad trade done quarterly. Last week this also showed that he does not know what he claims. It lost 85% of what you invested.

I was charged 38$ instead of 19$, and guest what?. when I contacted my bank they informed me that they have put a monthly payment, thing I never agreed for. So I had to block my Credit Card. It's a real scam, the customer service never replay and no refund till now. Please Stay FAR FAR AWAY!

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
I bought SPX Trader option which was a disaster. There would me multiple option calls in one day, which tells you to buy or sell spreads, and within a few hours you are asked to sell the contract because it's going south and you have already lost your money. You are then asked to buy a different spread. Its like changing rules in the middle of the game. People with small account cannot participate in this also because of the PDT rule.
I switch from SPX trader to the The Opportunistic Trader which allows one to buy straight just calls or puts, i thought this would be better but it has not worked for me either. The contracts are so expensive even people with large accounts don't buy such expensive contracts. They are way out in the future and ends up holding your money while you end up with a loss. It is really a scam game taking advantage of people who are struggling to learn this market.
I would advice anyone who is considering to buy this program, just hold on to your money and invest it in something else. You will not make any money with this program. And the worst part is that you don't get your money back and they bombard you with other sales tactics to buy different programs. I wish I had listen to my instincts before putting my $2K into this. I am very disappointed.

I signed up beginning of September 2022 believing I could do vertical spreads right away in TD Ameritrade/ThinkorSwim. I learned that I had to get certified to be able to do that.
While having a busy full time job and as a single mom, I finally managed to get certified to be able to do vertical spreads end of December 2022. Until then I was using the papermoney account.
I was disappointed with the trades recommended beginning of January. I saw some wins but most were losses.
Paying for this expensive subscription to loose money is definitely not worth it.
From the time I joined beginning of September 2022, I couldn't join the guadruple witch for September due to not being certified in TDAmeritrade. I wasn't able to join the quadruple witch in December 2022 even though I managed to get certified just before it either because I missed the recommended max price to pay for the option. That really sucked.
I did manage to join the quadruple witch for March 2023 and that only gave me 6% gain.
It was dissapointing to be more of loosing money with the daily trades recommendations and not much with quadruple witch when compared to other subscriptions where I'm able to get 15% gain and are more consistent wins.

Larry just recommended buying put options for QQQ but that's the best performing sector right now. While the dow and S&P have been down, the Nasdaq has actually been up so this recommendation is a real head scratcher.
I watched his presentation,"One Ticker Trader" long,boring one. Used QQQ. I did not buy expensive membership. Lost money on AAPL put. Did not have any adjustment.
I am down over $3,200 on AAPL Puts recommendation on EXP:3/17/2023, Strike $125. premium no greater than $4.85. Not very happy. Once again, what is the cost of my subscription?

I NEVER SIGNED up for this newsletter, I am on the DNM email, etc. Apparently impossible to stop -4-5-6 emails a day some in regular and some in spam. Because it appears to be a legitimate company, I have filled out the unsubscribe maybe 10 times. Weird choice set up to unsubscribe to all. The last time I tried using a vulgar adjective. I have blocked but I still have multiple in my email and in my spam mail.

I can not understand the bad rewiewers my portfolio gone up more then 20% in two months , the team is proffesional Larry is the best trader i have ever met
Larry Benedict has no added value. He has no advantage on any trader you can easily do the options strategies alone, since he does huge mistakes like any regular trader. He doesn't even explain is mistaken most of the time. The only thing he has is same methodology which you can do alone

I am updating my review. This year (2023), they have done something different and have been giving better calls. They've also updated their marketing material to $1K per month, which is more realistic. We are half way through the year and they have more than met the $1K/month goal, so hopefully the second half will be just as good. I now plan to keep the service.
OLD review....I got this service late 2022, the SPX trader. He claims you "could" gain $1100 per week. The end of the year had pretty good trades, but for the year the total gains were approx $9500 for the whole year. I was only able to get into 3 of the 5 or 6 trades last week and ended up negative $1500. Today (Monday) I got into all three and am down $420 today. I'm going to ditch the daily trading on this service and only trade the quarterly "witching" trades, they seem to be what actually makes his subscribers money. I went through every trade recommendation he made in 2022 and the losers were way bigger than the winners, they were in the negative until August or Sept. If I'd been able to see the actuals, I'd have never bought this service, I won't be renewing. I have other options trading services where I'm actually making money.

Irksome experience. Basically you pay for the platform to continuously flood your inbox with offers -- not just from "Larry Benedict" or whoever that really is, but from companies you've never authorised to send you stuff. And if you're stupid enough to let one in, 4 or 5 more are coming. Sometimes, the same company will send their spam through several addresses, just to be sure you'll be wasting hours sifting through the mess and unsubscribing pretty much for nothing since unsubscribe doesn't even seem to work as it should. Let's forget about the blatant conservative bias of the messaging. After all, to each their own. But as to the advertised expert advice? You'll never get quite as much as promised, and the reason is obvious. The information you'll get will always be slightly and conveniently outdated, with any allegedly fresher info well hidden behind heftily priced paywalls. All in all, this is borderline scamming -- and clearly a well-oiled spamming machine. Don't go there, unless data privacy and security are of as little concern to you as they seem to be to the platform operators.
I am not sure about the bad review. I subscribed the one ticker for 99$ and it is 90% win rate. I started using from September

I found out there was comming no Trade advice as prommised, so i asked for my money back 200$, and i Got a message, that i would get my money back within 48hours, but that is a week ago now…
I have sent a few mails to the Company, but absolutely NO reply back to me…
This is only a way so the Company Can ask for more and more money, and id you don’t go to the next level, by paying several thousand $, then you are left alone

After a posted charge for their service I have never received a login and password. I sent them an email they haven't responded. When I call them and select supprt and tell them my problem I quicklly get a dial tone. This has happened multiple times

Joined in September 2022. Every trade worked to perfection. Slow and steady. If you’re looking for the home run every time you will be disappointed.
I love it, thx Larry.

I am subscribed to One Ticker Trader. Larry's predictions have had a near 90% hit rate since inception. That's amazing considering the subscription fee. In fact it's the easiest route to build wealth.
I cannot understand the negative reviews. Facts speak for themselves.

Reply from The Opportunistic Trader
completely terrible service, trades make no sense, I will refund all money payed via my bank because they are not replying to emails. STAY AWAY.
UPDATE: They have refunded me all the money I have paid. To be fair I would still advise to stay away but do what you think is best for you. This service after checking it out is far from good by my opinion, Im 4 years nearly in the business and I make hundreds each day on options consistently and sorry but making calls on QQQ which insists of buying basic calls and puts from time to time, I can time that better myself!

There is a lot of negative feedback on Larry Benedicts Opportunistic Trader system, and to be honest, I don't understand why. I followed Larry's recommendations and have made 12k in 3 weeks. I made my 2k investment on my first day of using his strategy. I manage my losing trades, and there has been a couple, but there has been many winners. My largest winner so far has been 4.8k in one day. I had a bull put and a bear call at the same time, the price action ended the day between my two strike prices and I collected the premiums on both trades. I can't speak highly enough about Larry Benedict's strategy. I hope the salesman that made the sale on me reads this, he spent almost an hour trying to convince me to buy in, I finally did. Thanks to Greg.
