Govx has a very checkered reputation, mostly not very good but not a total scam either. It's difficult to deal with the...they have no phone for customer service and you're stuck with email or sometimes an online chat.

While their website seems to imply otherwise, Govx has no connection at all with the US Military or US Government. While they do allow some discounts for government employees, it's very misleading for them to make it seem there is some other relation. The name Govx itself is deceptive.

Orders sometimes arrive, sometimes don't ever arrive, refunds for returns may get taken care of or you may wait a long time. Sometimes the discounts are fairly good, sometimes you still see a price higher than elsewhere. Overall I do not recommend this company as they are not worth the trouble and the chance you might lose money.

Even though notified of a mistake on dates more than a month in advance, both the hotel and Booking.com refused to refund and allow a date change. Booking does not care anything about customers only about getting their travel agent fee. Avoid using Booking unless you are 100% certain you will never have an issue. Even getting a hold of customer service requires long hold times, fake promises to call back and generally a complete waste of time. The hotels and vendors have all the power, as a customer of Booking you will be treated like trash.

Gavin McMaster is a very good instructor and has a huge section of free educational blog posts. Many of them are actually quite good and informative. For your email address you can get a lot of free ebooks too. His paid courses are worth it, if you're a new or newer options trader. He emphasizes risk management and conservative trades in most cases. He is completely honest, and gives many examples of not just winning trades, but also losing trades and how he adjusts or handles them.

In some ways he has too many references to other products, web sites and services which can be distracting.

All in all, Gavin and his Options Trading IQ are one of the very few trading sites and courses that I've found that is legit and not just a lot of hype and scams (as most are). He's the real deal and you will learn a lot. Definitely check it out.

Business owner is incentivizing fake 5 star reviews from single review reviewers. Don’t let yourself get taken or pay any money to this service with fraudulent 100% annual returns claims! The best traders in the world make around 30%.

SteadyOptions has been around a number of years, obviously partly because of the clearly inflated fake claims of high returns, and provides value and education up to a point. I actually tried the service for short period, and learned some things. I did the homework and read nearly every education blog post on the entire site. But overall my experience was very negative.

The official trades recommendations get prices pushed higher by the volume of having thousands of subscribers jumping into the trades when they are published, which is a big problem on lower volume options. Personally I couldn't deal with it. My suggestion is to learn to do your own analysis and develop your own trades, not have to rely on what SteadyOptions and Kim, (or anyone else) thinks.

The absurd hype of the inflated claims of the SteadyOptions model portfolio up over 100% annually over a period of years is completely unrealistic. In my opinion this represents a false, unproven claim designed to get people to subscribe. There are no audited financial records provided by SteadyOptions or any of the founders that support this. Only supposed screenshots and a list of trades on the site. No one in the history of investing has ever achieved 100% per year returns consisentently, so this is not believable and is very likely massively overstated.

The reality is in options trading you can lose a lot of money, even if you follow a system. And SteadyOptions consistently understates the risk of the trades they engage in, but the point is that you are never going to get 100% returns per year, unless you are very very lucky which will only be for a short period of time. You could easily lose 20 to 30% per year. The idea that options trading is somehow very secure if you just follow the SteadyOptions trades is simply not accurate.

Also, it appears there a a lot of positive reviews that have no substance, and seem to be encouraged by SteadyOptions to create a response to anyone who dares to tell the truth and post a negative reivew.

The only positive thing I can really say is Steady Options has a good free education section for those that are interested.

Overall I do not recommend SteadyOptions.

Update: Steady Options continues to use the comment section to disparage and attack anyone posting a negative review, to distract from Steady Options obviously false claims of 100% per year options trading returns. My review represents my honest opinion, and is also based on factual analysis of other fake investment return claims which have been around for decades. For anyone who thinks you can earn 100% per year like Steady Options claims, I invite Steady Options to provide audited financial statementd by a major USA CPA firm, verifying their claims including actual account statements...not just screenshots. We all know they will never do this. Whenever anyone challenges Steady Options fake claims, they engage in a campaign to discredit the reviewer, like they are here.

Responding to reviews by calling reviewers "haters" and "humiliating" them is online slander, and only shows that Steady Options has something to hide.

SJG Trades, run by Steve Ganz provides very poor trades and trading advice. It's basically an options daytrading service where Steve Ganz posts trade recommendations throughout each day, then "adjusts them" when they are losing money to make them look better. Same old investment advisor stuff cherry picking trades to make themselves look smarter than everybody else. Most of his trades are losers and it's very difficult to follow what he is really doing.

Then the $79 per month fee is a come on to start pressuring you to sign up for expensive trading courses to learn the secrets of options trading. If you have any questions, he'll tell you to sign up for his courses.

Steve Ganz is a very arrogant fellow, who talks down to people in his chat room and always pretends to know more than everyone else. He doesn't! He claims to have more than 30 years trading experience and to be a self-taught options trader. He does have a lot tidbits about options and technical analysis, except that he's usually wrong about the market and about the trades he suggests. Do your own homework and research and you'll be much better off.

Unless you just want to lose money, I'd give this one a hard pass.

AVOID! Optionnet Explorer ONE is a scam and a nightmare to deal with. It's the worst trading and options software I've ever encountered in more than 20 years of trading. The junk software doesn't work or works very poorly, is very old and the customer service is terrible. They are rude and most of all dishonest. Also, this company is not in even the USA...it's actually in the UK yet is selling trading software for the US options market.

Don't believe the influencer paid reviews by trading websites that are fake reviews, written to deceive you and get you to pay money to this unscrupulous company OptionNet Explorer ONE.

I do not recommend even trying this garbage company and software. You'll definitely regret it if you do!

Very overpriced trading software that provides no value that you can’t get from your brokerage software for free. Poor charting, difficult to use and crashes a lot. I regret subscribing. It is a complete rip off.

Their advertising claims are lies and vastly inflated. Stay away!

BIGGERPOCKETS IS A TOTAL SCAM! It’s an auto renew scheme site. First they lure you in with fake free membership with nearly no content unlike they promised, then pound you with tons of emails to pay for Pro membership and tons of expensive seminars with lies about a 30 day refund policy. Then they refuse to disable auto renew. But when you try to cancel they make it impossible to get your refund with delaying tactics, other requirements etc in order to prevent cancelation. Finally, just as I was about to go to the police and my credit card company, they issued a full refund.

Stay away!

Alphatrends is tired old web site with weak stock picks. No performance tracking at all, so no way to evaluate any period of performance. I don't like these kinds of games at all. There is zero evidence that Brian Shannon is anything but yet another trading talking head with poor results. The website looks like it's never been updated, and has no educational content. For $129 a month you can do much better. To me, Alphatrends is a complete waste of money.

I never understood why these so-called trading guru's like Brian Shannon get so much attention and yet they produce poor results. It's weird.

Save your money, learn to trade and do your own research.

This is a very poor stock picking service, with an antiquated noisy chatroom as a "bonus". So 20 years ago Daniel Zanger made a great return on the late 1990's bull market. So what? Now for $125 per month, you get a 3 times a week chart email (usually in the middle of the night so not useful for next day planning) with crudely marked up charts of a few stocks and the major indexes That's it!

No specific entry points, often no guidance as to long or short positions, and no detailed information on the WHY of how Zanger chose these stocks. Not all bad picks of course, but little or no edge in trading them makes this nearly useless.

The chat room is run by Randy, going by the handle "CM" who is a mercurial, opinionated and very emotional trader who always seems on edge. He's knowledgeable, but his constantly changing minute by minute "signals" he claims to refer to make his value to trading less that zero. When you ask him a question, he replies with vague answers that can't be validated.

If you want to know Randy and Zanger's deepest secrets, you can spend $1900 up front no refunds for their "Price Analysis Course". No information of the course content is provided. You also get a secret chat room only for the course subscribers, apparently where the secret valuable premium tips are distributed. Right, I'll pass.

I didn't like any part of this service.

My recommendation is to AVOID this waste of time and money completely. After being a subscriber for about 6 weeks, I cancelled.
