I have been using option alpha for a month and wanted to share my impressions.
The interface is easy to use and clear. Their educational material helped fill in some gaps in my knowledge.
I have had mixed results with their trade ideas. Some were successful while others did not work out as I hoped. I am still assessing if it is worth the subscription fee.
Has anyone else tried it? What has your experience been?
Their alerts burned me hard in my second year of trading. Lost $800 following their AAPL put suggestion without understanding the Greeks.
Now I only use services for education, never blindly copy trades. That expensive lesson taught me to always paper trade their ideas first.
Saved me from bigger losses later when I almost went all-in on another bad signal.
Success rate fell to about 40% after the second week for me.
Educational content quality matters more than trade alerts. Most services fail at 35-45% win rates. Calculate actual ROI including subscription costs before deciding.
Mixed results with trade ideas are common. The key is whether you are using those ideas to learn or just copying them. From my experience, services work best when they help you understand the reasoning behind trades. If the educational content is solid and improves your skills, that’s valuable. Track your win rate for a month. If you’re not outperforming simple strategies, the subscription may not be worth it. Focus on mastering a few straightforward setups instead of trying to follow every idea.
