CJ,

First off, we hear you.

This isn’t the experience we want anyone to have...especially someone who showed up early, ready to roll, coffee in hand, calendar set, and then…boom, frustration. We get it. And that’s not okay with us.

You’re right...you should be getting access seamlessly, and if that didn’t happen, we want to fix it fast and personally. Reach out to us at support@theotrade.com or call 1-800-256-8876 and press option #1. No bots, no runaround...just real people who care and want to make this right.

Let’s get you back on track and show you why those reviews exist in the first place.

Paul,

You said it!

Don shows up like clockwork...with heart, hustle, and a game plan to lift the whole room.

The guy’s like a trading Terminator, but instead of chaos, he’s dropping clarity, confidence, and killer spreads. He wants people to win...and you felt that. That’s why we do what we do.

Thanks for riding with us. Let’s keep pushing forward.

Tom!

You get it. You see it. You’re a value guy. I'm a value guy. We could’ve done business in the '80s, shook hands over a golf cart, sealed the deal with a wink. But here we are—in the 21st century—crushing it with TheoTrade. Appreciate you taking the time to drop five stars on us. That’s like giving us the championship belt in the Valueweight Division. Respect.

Stay sharp, stay trading.

Moving Forward with Knowledge

I chose Theo Trade as my guide to gaining an advantage on my trading. My first run at trading was disastrous and I ended up going through over $50,000 in a matter of 60 days, it was no fun. I have followed Don for some time now and feel he and his team are just what I need to be successful at this game. His knowledge and energy keep me on my toes as well as the feeling this go around will get me where I want to go. I am 77 have one 22 in college and a 17 year old that will be graduating from high school next year. They are both honor students and I just want to give them the financial push they need to find their own footing in this crazy world. I know Theo Trade can help me get there. I will be starting with about $15,000 and have another $10,000 to throw in once the $15 grows to $30. I am putting my faith and confidence in The Trade / Don to get us there, go bears, So gentlemen start you engines. This is not a I hope deal – it is a calculated assessment. I know I am in the right place and the time will be what we make of it.
Thanks

Randy. My man!

Seventy-seven years young, two honor students in the house, and you’re strapping in for round two like it’s the Indy 500. That’s not just inspirational...it’s legendary! You’re not dipping your toe in; you’re cannonballing into the deep end with conviction, strategy, and a game plan built on experience. That’s not luck…that’s grit with a side of Don Kaufman.

You’ve seen the storm. You’ve weathered it. Now you’re climbing back in the cockpit with $15K on the runway, $10K in reserve, and your eyes locked on that $30K altitude. And we’re here for every second of it. This isn’t wishful thinking. This is Randy Terrazas running a calculated mission with TheoTrade as co-pilot.

So yes...Gentlemen, start your engines.

Let’s get to work.

My 1st trade - clarity of instructions

This was my 1st trade with you. I trade regularly. Your instruction "Buy 1x META 100 (Weeklys) 25 APR 625 Put". What was meant by the "100". And "Buy 1" -- does that suggest only to buy 1 contract?

IT Veteran—first of all, can we talk about that username? Absolute legend vibes. We’re picturing you in front of a wall of monitors, calmly outmaneuvering markets like it’s just another Tuesday. Love it.

Now, onto your first trade—welcome aboard! You nailed it:

The “100” is part of the option's OCC code, representing 100 shares per contract. It sometimes sneaks into trade instructions when copied over, but it’s not something you need to act on.

“Buy 1” does indeed mean to purchase 1 contract—so you're spot on there.

Appreciate you jumping in with both feet. Keep the questions coming—clarity leads to confidence, and confidence is the name of the game.

Let’s keep it rolling, IT Vet. You’re in good company.

dependable and useful information.

Information that helps traders make money over the long run. It helps to have trader support through Theo trade. Also it is a wonderful learning experience. I have learned to use their techniques on my own.

Roxanne! You just made our day. Seriously—this is the kind of feedback that gets high-fives flying around the office.

"Dependable and useful information"—boom, that’s the foundation. "Helps traders make money over the long run"—boom, that’s the mission. And the fact that you’re now using the techniques on your own? That’s the home run.

At TheoTrade, we’re not just here to teach—we’re here to build confident, independent traders like you. Thanks for being part of the crew. Let’s keep stacking wins together.

Hi Pia,

Saw your review and wanted to jump in right away—first off, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Sounds like you're just trying to find the 3 weekly trades, and we want to make that as easy as possible.

Here’s the play: shoot an email to support@theotrade.com and ask for Brian—he’s the guy, knows this stuff inside and out. Or if you’d rather talk to a real human (refreshing, right?), call us at 1 (800) 256-8876, press 1, and ask for Todd directly. He’ll get you taken care of.

We’d love the chance to earn back those 4 missing stars. You matter to us, Pia, and we’re here to help.

Hey Thomas,

Totally hear your frustration—and yeah, that review hits with some serious energy. Let’s hit pause, rewind, and get this back on track.

If something feels off, we want to fix it. Plain and simple. Shoot an email to support@theotrade.com and ask for Brian—he’s the man, gets things done. Or call us at 1 (800) 256-8876, press 1, and ask for Todd. He has the voice of a 1950's crooner and will get you into a good spot.

We’re not here to waste your time. We're here to help you win—and if something didn’t sit right, we’ll make it right.

Hope we get the chance to turn that 1 star into a 5.

Great opportunity. Responded to my questions in a timely manner. Don't care for reviews that ask more than five questions. Hit submit button, nothing happened.

Kenton, glad you saw the opportunity and even happier we could get your questions answered quickly! That’s how it should be—no waiting, no runaround.

And hey, we hear you on those long review forms. Five questions? That’s a job interview, not a review! You should never have to slog through a voluntary review process...that's why we keep it to 1-2 questions. We are 100% with you.

If you ever need anything, we’re always here to help.

Thanks again!

Sean! My man, four stars? That’s like calling a filet mignon “pretty good” because the mashed potatoes weren’t life-changing. But hey, I get it—you want to know where the trades are sent. And let me tell you, we’ve got options. Email? Check. Text? You bet. Our app? Oh yeah...and it’s slick. Plus, if your subscription includes it, we’ve got live action in the chat room too.

Personally, I’m an app notification guy—it’s like having a direct line to opportunity. But whatever works best for you, we’ve got you covered.

If you ever run into any challenges getting alerts via any of these methods, email our industry leading support team at support@thetrade.com. Or is picking up the phone is more of your jam then give us a call at 1 (800) 256-8876 and select Option 1. Either Brian, Todd, or Arsen will answer, and all three of those guys are studs!

In the meantime, we'll do our best to earn that elusive 5th star.

Thanks for being with us, Sean—we appreciate you!

Great Course Value

I have purchased multiple courses from TheoTrade and believe I received positive benefits from each; I also stopped my subscriptions because I needed funds elsewhere. The courses deliver exactly what is described in their course prospectus. There were no issues when I needed to stop my subscriptions.

One reason for my initial and subsequent subscriptions is the energy in Don K presentations. Course documents are high quality.

Now this is the kind of review that makes our day! First off, huge thanks for the 5 stars and for trusting TheoTrade with your trading education. We know every dollar matters, so hearing that you found real value in our courses? That’s what it’s all about.

And Don’s energy? Oh yeah—guy’s like a financial rocket fuel. He keeps it real, keeps it sharp, and makes sure those course materials deliver exactly what’s promised. Glad that resonated with you.

Whenever the time’s right, we’ll be here. Until then, trade smart and take care!
