You are helping me make money

You are helping me make money, but trying to sell me more. I would rather buy more stocks and not more services.

the service is legit

the service is legit. the company is trustworthy and they offer great customer service. the recommendations are well studied and clear. the only stain on their otherwise great service and very reasonable pricing is the intensity with which they send marketing emails. it's literally several per day. not enough rate them lower though

Good results, obnoxious upselling

I've had good investment results, with interesting new tools. The reason I don't give five stars is because TradeSmith, like EVERY OTHER investment advising service I've tried, is continually upselling their new "you'll regret it forever if you don't" shiny object, with interminable videos and high pressure. I hate that. So, like the service, hate the style.

I dislike all the promotions and emails. I don’t want to watch a nearly hour long video to find out your “new” research is so great I need to fork over another 5K. I feel like I’ve already paid for such unfit.

The recommendations can be spectacular

The recommendations can be spectacular, but the constant deluge of emails offering the newest and best services (at a price, after having to view extensive videos) is annoying. It would be great is I could limit the communications to just those very few that I find particularly valuable.

Best trading service I have encountered !!!

Of any service I have used in trading in the last 2 years, I needed to make money and TRADESMITH has been the best service .. I have left the other service and use this service exclusively . Excellent customer service that I did not find in the others.

I have not found Trade Cycles useful and do not plan to renew it. What little good I get out of it is not worth the expensive annual renewal cost. I find Trade Stops Pro and Trade Booster beneficial enough to keep them.

TradeCycles is an excellent guide for buying stocks. I check their cycles data before buying any stock. It has not only help me make a lot of money, it has prevented me from bad or haphazard choices that would have lost capital. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because TradeSmith and its partner InvestorPlace are not strong administratively and have let me down and been unresponsive often

Tradesmith Platinum has been my investing salvation!!!

I've been a Platinum member of Tradesmith since Jan of 2022. I began with them just using TradeStop a few years before that. I've loved studying and trading the market for 30 + years, however, continued success has only come since being emerged with Tradesmith as a Platinum member. Of course not every trade has been a winner but my overall success is fabulous and with little stress. The tools are powerful and the people dynamic. I love that we get buy recommendations, but the real salvation is the plan for selling as well. Mike Burnick runs "Constant Cash"... selling Puts. This has been an area of great success for me. I'm now loving "Signals" as I learn daily how to make that work for me.

Clare, 30+ years of market passion combined with the right tools is a powerful combination and it's wonderful to hear Platinum membership has brought that next level of consistency and peace of mind you were looking for! You touched on something so many members appreciate which is that having a clear plan for when to sell is just as important as knowing what to buy. Excited for you as you continue growing with Signals and we look forward to being part of your journey ahead!

***** SHYSTERS ***** - If 0 Stars were only possible, couldn't be more disappointed. Terrible support.

Started signing up for a program that offered a "Guaranteed Full Cash Refund," only to be shystered into a $2,500, non-refundable charge that, for a refund, would be turned into a merchant credit. As soon as I signed up for one service, a pop-up would offer an additional service as a "one-time only, special offer." Though now, the fine print has changed into a merchant credit for other services. Luckily, I was able to recoup only $500 of the $3,000 I spent. No recourse, except to try to find something that might fit my options trading style.

Hi Aladdin, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the services you tried did not feel like the right fit for your trading style. We understand how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to find a service that aligns with the way you trade.

We want to clarify that the terms of each offer are provided before purchase, including whether the guarantee is eligible for a cash refund or a credit refund. The portion of your purchase that was eligible for a cash refund was refunded in accordance with the terms of that offer. The promotion tied to your larger purchase included a 90-day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee in the form of a credit refund that could be applied toward other products from our firm, rather than a cash refund.

We always encourage customers to contact our Customer Service team with any questions before or after purchase. Our team is happy to walk through the offer details, explain the refund terms, answer questions, and help customers better understand which services may be the best fit for their needs.

We also understand that you’ve explored several services while trying to find the right match. In addition to product access, we offer dedicated concierge appointments, educational materials, and live trainings to help customers get oriented, understand the tools, and receive a more personalized walkthrough based on their goals and experience level.

We’d be happy to continue assisting you directly. Please contact our Customer Service team so we can review your account, discuss your trading preferences, and help you make the best use of the resources available to you.

TradeSmith is a joke

TradeSmith is a joke. They hook you with a 90-day refund promise in their long-winded videos, then refuse to give a dime back when you realize it's a time-sink. Now they're claiming it's just some store credit. That's why I moved my mandate to CVE Capital, they actually respect liquidity and don't mess around with your money.

Go Elsewhere!

I have had innumerable stocks they predicted would go up but went down instead. Example COP with a predictive of 89% in a Low Volatility Model was supposed to be up 7.1% on their target date of 4/22/26 is actually -10.5% (an 18% difference) and heading further down today. I am down 11% since joining and 7 out of 10 predictions I hold are down. >Look elsewhere! AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP TO JOIN!!!
