Total false advertising
Total false advertising, very few trades issued...maybe 1 a month. Not at all the "big returns" promised in the promotional video. I was expecting several trades a week after seeing the whole "bitcoin skimming". One option trade a month doesn't feel like "skimming".

One of the best market advisers in the business!
First I want to say that it is important to follow exactly what Larry says, and as quickly as possible. For me this has lead to good success, and although there certainly have been some disappointing trades the overall results have been excellent and continue to be so. In some cases I have opted for two options rather than the (properly) more conservative one; it feels good when you’re ahead, but it teaches you not to be too aggressive, as the market winds can very quickly shift! Larry’s insight is very good and I appreciate his candor and straightforward advice given in excellent emails that help us make sense of the market, and the many facets of it that impact our investments and our lives.

more help needed.
it started out well but some of Larry S&P trades went south and the losses were much more substantial than the gains, this happened about two months ago. I sent LB a communication about how to get out of a bad trade but no response. the educational videos don't show you how to minimize your losses. 2) the" Bito " program has been a disappointment, not enough good trades. you lose confidence in the source when the winning averages are 50/50.

An Action Oriented Service
Larry is a very experienced and strong trader. His feel for the market and his calls on daily S&P index option spreads are instrumental and rewarding, and his opportunistic views on regressions from extremes played via ETF options are very constructive. Finally, I have learned to respect his forex trading calls. What I like about Larry Benedict is the unencumbered, short, and compact reasoning that always translates into quick trades and profits. The Opportunistic Trader services are really action-oriented. Thank you, Larry.

More info about the average financial commitment required for each options trade needed in subscription solicitation
I have placed every trade I could afford to buy 100 shares of since October 2023. Mostly that has restricted me to BITO trades, and I am down $472 seven months into the process. Most recently I had a contract on the June 21 BITO Puts. A couple of weeks into the trade I received an alert to sell half my BITO contracts. Since you can't sell half of one options contract I was left uncertain as to whether I should exit the trade early or stay in it. I find it difficult to put $5,000-$10,000 at risk in one options contract since most of my stock positions are in the range of $1,500-$2,000 each and I only keep $12,000 or so in cash in my brokerage account. A little more specific info about how much each trade costs would have been useful before I committed to an annual subscription that I'm not able to make as much use of as I had hoped.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Steve! We understand the challenges with recent BITO trades. Despite market volatility, we've had some wins, like a 63% gain on BITO puts.
Selling fractions of options can be tricky, so we’re working on clearer alerts. You can usually sell part of your position through a closing transaction for some contracts, and your broker can assist with this.

Change the notification process
I don't not like the fact that modifications to original trades can be put out in way that a person is not at his/her desk reviewing every email in real time may miss the modification and consequently lose their investment.

IExtremely dissappointed on the kind of advice given.
I paid a great deal of money to secure fundamental investment advice, however, the amount of leads has been less than acceptable. I was under the impression, I was going to monthly investment options, but that has not been the case. Very disappointed! I thought I would be able to get a refund. When I called your representative told me there was such a police.

Larry's strategy is always against current trends
It seems always pick up ups and bottoms--against current trends while stocks cont to make higher H and lower L. So the positions expired worthless. Since I started w/ Larry, I haven't make money. My acct was down last yr and so far this yr too.

Pretty disappointed with this service.I expected Larry with decades of experience in the market to be at top of the market and help his subscribers make generational wealth,The market exploded from November of 2023 to March of 2024 with SPX going up by 9% and NASDAQ going up and DOW going up and all semi conductor stocks exploding.But Larry gave very few trades saying we need to be careful and we should not trust the market.The reason I subscribe to Larry's service is for him to be in top of these trends and help his subscribers make life changing wealth.I don't need to subscriber\ to this service to be told that I cannot trust the market and should not trade, I do that by default.
