“Private Twitter Plan made me do great profits”

Adrianne H.
5/13/23

I've been a subscriber to SmarterTrading411's Private Twitter Plan for a few months now, and it's been worth every penny. Sam's analysis and trade alerts are spot on, and I've made some great profits thanks to his tips. I highly recommend this service to anyone who wants to stay ahead of the game in the stock market.

“Sam the Scam”

Andrew B.
11/27/20

Lost all my hard earned money on this scam artist. Sam says he makes 100K almost everyday, which I realized later was just from a fake demo account. He uses this trick everytime to attract and loot naive people. Another fishy thing I noticed is that whenever I tried to chat with his room members, they never answer when you chat with them directly, never! I then realized they were just fake accounts made to show he has a large subscriber list. Just an out and out scam artist. Never again!

This man is a con artist. He says net net but doesn't share his yearly P/L. His room is full of fake accounts who pretend that they are making millions. They tell you to be quiet and then eventually blame and ignore you on chat, thus quieting your voice. Those names are TatyanaJones, QuietRiot (he is probably paid by Sam), MissingLink and The HY6. Anthony asked people to buy CCIV and CAPA... see where the stocks are for yourself.
Beware and stay away from all of them

I'm about a week in to private chat service.

Most education you will get is his free YouTube videos. Pretty good video I have to say.

Private twitter not enough info for you to make informed decisions.

Private chat is also a bit goofy. Notifies after the fact. Other services that are cheaper that will teach you more about trading during the day.

Sam talks about premiums and how to read them, but he doesn't divulge too much into his secrets, so not much to learn. The service seems more like an auctioneer calling out prices and what options prices could be.

I like the morning calls. They are good for big picture, but a bit early since I'm on the west coast 445am.

I'm leaning towards not renewing my subscription, but maybe try it out for yourself. Might work for you.

Tip for consumers:
Listen to his video on YouTube first.

Rude, delusional and stupid $#*!. Plays options based on the premiums collected from members. He says he hates stupid but is one of the most stupidest persons you will ever come across. He plays blindly and makes his followers play blindly. Does not know risk management and is only right probably less than 10% of the time, even a broken clock has better efficiency than Only Sam! Do yourself a favor, just watch his video (which is actually good) and take your money elsewhere to learn option trading rather than going to this abusive $#*!

Do not put your hard-earned money into this scam. I paid $199 for the monthly service and quickly realized it was a mistake. You will get vague and cryptic info that is just spit-balling option trading. Besides the money you pay for the scam, you will lose in the market. Don't pay anyone to learn to trade. Learn chart trading for free on your own, keep up with the fundamentals, keep practicing, and over time you CAN be successful. It's like anything else.

Tip for consumers:
Don't even think about it! Save your money!

Sam has 1/20 plays that actually do well - but preaches "net net" - He'll lose on 19 in a row but one doubles and he flaunts it. Bad experience, would not recommend at all. Literally just plays lottos and that's all. He gets paid 500k a month from his subs, so he can lose thousands each day and not care.

Found this guy on twitter and saw that he was doing almost unbelievable trades, also read some not-so-positive reviews online, and the service seemed "too good to be true", but I said f**k it, I'll give it a try. This is my second month on the service and the guy has been worth every single penny.

Not gonna lie, it took me a couple of days to completely catch his unique way to announce the signals, but once you get it, you're ready to make mula.

This past weeks I made some great money with his MDB, TSLA and SPX trades. He's the best trading furu I've ever paid. 10/10.

P.S. In my experience, if you don't take the trade right after he tweeted it, don't take the exact same trade, but use it as a reference.

Watched the video, got a total grasp of the concepts. I avoided the lotto plays and went for the numbers provided on every morning call. The strategy is wait for the number to break and hold the close. Net net is the other side and trade account as a whole. Sam's plays will work 1 out of 10. Net net can't overcome this percentage chance. I decided to try this service out of curiosity after 6 years of experience to try to give my returns an increase. Net net I was a loser and after 2 months decided Sam's strategies don't work. Be aware when Sam blames CEOs or TV personalities he is losing on big plays he told the room would win. It's the same strategy other egomaniacs will use- point the blame, never accept responsibility.

Avoid at all costs

The chat room is full of fake accounts (and so is his twitter followers). Useless trades. He will brag about the 1 that wins and ignore his 10 losers. Horrible.

With the premium service we have access to the new trading tools he is creating, also we have access to a morning call to know which could be the expectations on the day. I like to receive the twitter notifications with his signals.

Did not like the alerts he gave and his entire chat in the twitter is a bunch of fake people. I signed up months ago but thought to warn everyone about this scam- smarter trading411.com or better known as smarter trader. He has the worst alerts. I actually lost money using him. Was on a mission to find a good service someone I can trust. I found them - using optionscallsputs.com they are expensive but much better than lottos and stupid stuff Sam writes and gives.He could care less if you make money. Blames you for the bad trade. I am glad others are speaking up about this dude. He needs to stop the business.

Tip for consumers:
run and do not sign up.

He is a scammer, stay away.
His claims are only paper trades.
Most of his Twitter Account followers are fake.
Two days after I questioned him he blocked me on Twitter.

Signed up saw sam who runs by his twitter *******@smartertrader give a few trades on his live chat. I noticed there was barely volume on Regn or any trades he was giving so when I asked him he Dm me a nasty response.
I gave the man a chance but he failed to show me any real validation on his trades. Most were by far bad and you got a few that were better.
He has only a few members in his live chat so all the various handles you see are fake. This is true. After signing up using him for 1 month at $999 I would not *******@smartertrader who's real name is Sam Parikh. You come to realize he's a lying cheater. No thank you!

I've been a member of the chat room for a year now and it's been an incredible resource for me.

Not only do I get to interact with Sam and his team, but I've also made connections with other traders who have helped me with my own trades. The Private Twitter account is also a great bonus

This is my honest review.

If you like to lose much more than you can gain, then I would highly recommend joining smartertrading411.
IMO, this isn't a scam but pure garbage. Sam only shares screenshots with money he makes. I bet he has lost lots of money with tradings. But yet he posts those 100k, 200k, 500k profits simply to lure new customers like us, so he can take advantage of our payments made to him.

Also he tweets non-sense and sometimes doesn't make sense. If someone is paying their hard earned money, then sam better tweets so they can understand. Pain Simple. Another thing is he loves to whine like a little baby.

Well... Again, if you wanna lose much more than you can gain.

Thank you. This is my honest review.

Once you sign up for Smarter Trading, Sam Parikh tries to get you sign up for signal service to give you more money to invest. When you do that. He wants you to pay even more money to be able to withdraw the money and you can't get any money out not even the money that you put in until you upgrade to the mater account and pay $15,500 to get the money out. The $15,500 is more than your original investment. Initially when he directs you to iclubtrade.com, you think it's a site independent of him. However, it is him running that company as well. Beware! Both websites are automatically ran and he hides behind the computer to rip people off! Steer clear of him on Twitter when he gains his *******@smartertrader

Do not sign up with smartertrader or smarter411 or smartertrading411.com unless you like to lose your money fast. The guy just spits out trades and you are supposed to see if they stick. Come on. I mean you are supposed to see what strike price, what week you are supposed to trade. Nonsense would not recommend

I had been following this guy on Twitter for a couple of year and noticed he had been making some spectacular gains in options trades... until the wins kept adding up without mention of a loss or bad trade, only retrospective sales of "winning" trades. Usually a sign of someone who posts for attention and falsely earned accolades rather than actual trading skill. I signed up for 3 months and trust me it was really bad. One win is given so much attention versus the 15 losses he sprays in his live chat room on his website. To me, an experienced trader I was not at all impressed with someone who says they "have 30 years plus option trading experience" Sam Parikh has about 6 month of option trading experience. Seriously.
This guy,@smartertrader is so bad that I really do believe you can if you're in the wrong trade, which is highly likely and higher probability, then you can lose your account. In a blink of an eye. No joke. He does have a few good trades but that is far and in between. To win daily without any losses is a *******@smartertrader should confess his losses in his Twitter stream so you look real and not fake. Your energy is negative, you put others who have even a small remark about your business down or block them. I would say to steer clear away from Sam Parikh, *******@smartertrader aka smartertrading411.com
Do not give him any money to trade for you as he does this side hustle. He is not a broker, not an authorized with the SEC.
In all respect he should be off the internet as this is a rip off, scam, ponzi scheme to manipulate innocent option traders.

I'll leave what I wrote first below. It's been my first week following Sam and an expensive one.

I'd say paper trade weeklies before actually trading them.

It's certainly been educational. I see how it's possible to win with weeklies. But for me i think ill stick to trademachine trades.

Time will tell. I've got a month. May find some success. Look up the SMB options tribe video with sam parikh for a good intro-- could save you some $$.

Also, the private Twitter feed isn't really enough. And there are free feeds out there as good or better.

In addition sam and his room trade in such size that sam generally sticks to big names. Useful to be aware of if you trade big.

There seem to be people(one person?) who have some interest in disparaging sam parikh. Only thing I can imagine is that they run competing services? I haven't made money from following his trades yet(just found out about him two days ago), but his strategies, which can be found free in videos online, are sound and have already helped me improve. And if he were no good *******@Scarlettrabe have made a tribute music video to him? https://youtu.be/DUY1tapNfZE Further,@AnthonyOhayon follows Sam and Anthony gives his info away free and I have made many thousands from that. So, Sam is respected by at least two good people it appears.
