The Opportunistic Trader Arvostelua 

In this turbulent market it's so hard to make a correct decision when it comes to options trading.
Following Larry's recommendation on QQQ $325 Put Due 07/15/25 I entered that trade this morning at about 9:40 (I missed his PM alert yesterday), paid $3.38 for it (a bit higher than his recommended limit) and sold it at 12:25 (less than 3 hours later) for $6.22. That made it an 83.45% profit in a few hours, awsome!
I'm so thankful to Larry for his great recommendations and for sharing his vast experience with us, his subscribers, so we can learn how to minimize risk and maximize earnings.

I am disappointed with the service, especially after I signed up for the SPX trader. I moved up because I had a few wins with the basic service but was only getting 1 recommendation over 6-10 weeks, so I was looking for more leads.

Based on reading and re-reading all of the SPX Trader literature he sent out, I became confused because he appeared to be trading opposite from the way he communicated in his trading booklets. His emailed recaps occasionally mentioned that he made a few bad trades but "to stick with it. I stuck with the daily recommendations and my account got totally blown up within a few weeks so I can't trade now. I am trying to work my way back up.

I called his office twice and literally asked if he had had a stroke, because his trading seemed confused and misdirected. The person that answered (who had a hard time speaking english) was no help at all, couldnt answer any trading or concept questions, and said he would check into my concerns and call back. What a laugh... still waiting.
I now place the daily SPX trades on TOS "paper money" to figure out where Larry is coming from. I monitor the results every day, and then try to match up the results he publishes in the OT app with the results TOS comes up with and it doesn't match very often (I lose when he says he gains, and his gains are usually higher than what I show ( but that is understandable because I am late on the trade sometimes.).But boy, when it is a loser, it is a real LOSER, mostly > $1000, way over the premium and the credit for one contract as explained in his booklets. One big loss usually wipes out 2 -3 medium wins. It's hard to stay above 0.
I am not giving up yet as I hope to still get a better understanding of the vertical spreads but I am not willing to trade real money again anytime soon.

This service is a money loser. There is not a single winner in the current portfolio.
I have not come close to breaking even with the cost of the service and have little to no confidence in any recommended trades.
They have published some winning trades but I have avoided most recommendations because of my consistent losses

Larry works very hard to survive poly traders steady income.

The direction was clear and the reasons and analysis were easy to understand. I did my first trade following The Opportunistic Trader, nervous and too impatient. Still, I didn't loose money.

I think they should make more trades during the day.

Larry has honor his mission to help normal investors in achieving their goal. His experience and knowledge about investing in the stock market is superb and excellent. I wish he could continue to coach us to the path of success in investing.

Larry's not always perfect. Sometimes, he jumps in a little too soon. Several of his trade set-ups left me under water for awhile, but most of his trades do turn profitable if one can remain patient. However, it's his selection of options and his strategy that I like more than anything. He doesn't usually trade spreads, but rather selects certain lower delta single options on QQQ and SPY mostly with this service, and it works! I have learned a lot from him and his lower delta strategy helps reduce loss of capital while still playing for levered gains of more than 100%. Overall, he is a great trader and of all the services I have paid for over the years, this is the one and only service that has been consistently profitable for me!

I have gained 40% of my account in 5 months following spx traders.

Excellent!

The methodology employed in this trading program has proven successful both in terms of profit accumulation and risk minimization.

Larry is a true professional in the industry and cares about his performance and how it affects his clients. I am sure this has been part of the reason he was featured in the market wizards books.

Solid analysis, taking into account macro and underlying issues, not too deep not too superficial with accountability. Like my own analysis, sometimes Larry is too early, sometimes too late and sometimes right on, unlike myself, he gets it right more times than not.

I think the patience in selecting the trades in this service has proven to be very smart, and profitable, considering the leverage being used. Thank you!

Very informative on a timely basis

Advisory is not what was Not what was Promoted-oust ROI

I have got at least 3 weeks loss in a row. But their weekly report makes up a win week for the last week. How can you trust them when they cheat on you?

Subscribing to Lary Benedict's S&P Trader is not only an investment dream come true for me but also a lifeline to help grow my retirement account after a personal financially devastating business failure.

I launched with Larry's S&P Trader system with $37K in my trading account and after 64 trading days so far (starting out slow and growing to multiple contracts) average net profit (including losses) is $915 per day, which annualized result, based on 250 trading days could be about +$228K. That number will grow as I add contracts.

Larry's "oDTE" S&P Vertical spread trade method removes the fear caused by little traction and replaces it with confidence which has enabled me to scale up my trading. I attribute my success to putting on every trade and not second guessing Larry's recos. I am also learning to roll over to help protect a position with a 100% win rate to date.

Thank you for sharing this money making system, Larry! I'm loving it!
