Knowledgeable and patient mentor for beginners +...

I have sat through a lot of free and paid webinars offered by various services that turn out to be one giant advertising gimmick aimed at getting you buy additional products. That is not the case with OptionSIZZLE. My first introduction to options was through an OptionSIZZLE webinar in the fall of 2009. The webinar was $39. It wasn't a big money commitment so I thought I would spend an afternoon learning about options. It was a surprisingly tremendous value! In no time, I was making real money with very basic option strategies. I have found that to be the case with all of Josh's products. He is the master of under-promise and over-deliver. What impressed me most is he took the time to answer every email question that I had as I dipped my toe in the options pool. He really did care about my success in trading.

The OptionSIZZLE site does offer subscription products and training materials. I progressed through the courses at my own pace to broaden my education. I now understand more complex strategies and the value of using spreads to minimize risk and capture consistent weekly returns. Beyond the subscriber products, OS is a great resource for a lot of of free information, actionable ideas with real value. As someone who learned options from the ground up (literally), Josh strives to reveal the truth behind the mystique of options and make them accessible to every one. If you elect to try the premium service, he sends trading alerts throughout the course of the trading day. He employs a handful of very basic strategies which he explains in detail, describing exactly how to execute the entries and exits to trades with logical precision. The daily option activity report is a bonus for those with a more advance understanding of options who are willing to make use OS proprietary scans to place and manage their own trades.

Whether you are in for the wealth of free information or you are looking for more in-depth education with subscription products, Josh Belanger knows options and is an extraordinary mentor.

Service yields consistent and profitable outcomes

Up and coming traders face many psychological struggles, especially early on in their attempts. From my personal experience the two largest hurdles to overcome involve fear of losing and having the confidence to time and enter a trade. At Optionsizzle, I have found that these obstacles are both addressed. Josh has a fair level of expertise on the subject, but also expresses a calm (yet not overly confident) persona in reviewing trades each night in his videos. Though I am personally a work-in-progress, it is character attributes such as these the indirectly boost my confidence.

Optionsizzle premium service has provided some great insight as to how Josh develops a thesis for each trade. More specifically, he will lay out the framework for the trade the night before. I have been focusing on the SPX Options Course trades and since Mar 20, 2013 I have had no losing trades and each week my ROI has exceed 5%. Keep in mind this is done with one structured trade per week!

The SPX Options Course has proven to be one of the most beneficial educational tools I have purchased. The course is in video and PDF format. It starts with the basics and is very striaight-forward and understandable. Initially, I felt this course was cost-prohibitive, but I took a chance and once I began to implement the strategies, I realized it would not take long to recover the investment

The SPX Course has yielded consistent weekly gains. My next major hurdle in trading is to protect those gains throughout the entire year. I will look to update this critique later in the year if it becomes necessary.

I really would have no hesitation recommending both the SPX Options Course or the premium membership. As I have mentioned, I feel both are somewhat expensive, but if they pay for themselves, it becomes less of a concern. Some key points I have encountered in the three months as a premium member is that a multitude of trades are not floated everyday. I am fine with this as I prefer a quality over quantity approach. If you are interested in greater volume of trade ideas, an unusual option activity report is sent out to members everyday.

In closing, I think the main takeaway is that both the SPX course and the Premium membership complement each other. Thoroughly review and practice the SPX Course and the join the Premium membership and take advantage of Josh's mentorship to better maximize the earning potential of this course and service.

The sophisticated Options Trader

If you are looking for spoon fed straight buying calls and puts then don't apply -- The gem of this service is that Josh seeks to maximize profit and minimize risk by applying sophisticated spreads in both technical and fundamental set-ups. He has a few bread and butter income generating trades that he puts on consistently usually every week as well as a deep toolbox for volatility events like earnings and expiration. Nearly all of Josh's trades are swing trades with the average hold time of 1-5 days generally. I have learned so much from Josh and his daily videos where he talks out what he is seeing in the charts, options activity, and the options strategies that are setting up in a particular underlying. I highly recommend OptionSIZZLE and if you live in or visit the Chicago area be sure to hit up Josh as he was glad to sit down with me over a glass of tonic water and offer his insight into the markets.

Simply the Only Options Trading Resource Worth Paying for.

I have been following Josh Belanger (@Optionsizzle) for more than 6 months now. I have experience with basic call and put strategies. Josh started with a premium twitter feed, and has expanded to a chat room. His service will soon have iOS compatibility and live video/voice.

There are about 40 people in the room at any given time. Josh uses real time screeners and his CBOE experience to alert the room of legit options action versus normal activity. He reads charts and provides released trades (about two per week). In the Room, Josh is unemotional and only talks about facts. He does not trade on rumors, he trades on real activity from institutional moves he sees on his screens. Trading with him is like having eyes in the back and sides of your head.

He's not the most cordial guy, in fact he can be a bit rough around the edges, but I prefer this style versus the "I Never Lose on a Trade" rainbow stuff that other pay sites boast.

I've tried BOWS (Bulls on Wall Street) and The Trading Family, and am a long time @stockgod, @Kunal00 and @CopperSTL follower.

Josh B has given me the best experience so far. With his service I don't enter stupid trades and he has never let me make a huge gamble. He is clear, concise and accurate.

What else would you want? He has some free videos on the site. Watch them to see what he does.

One Of The Most Important Pieces Of The Puzzle, A Must Have

OptionSIZZLE is a must have subscription to any trader who trades options or would like to learn more about them. He specializes in unusual activity and makes trades based on the influx of money into those names. He also has a full chat room and a premium twitter stream where he posts his ideas.

In can be easy to be overwhelmed with all the information he provides, so he also does free webinars to explain how you can take advantage of the info he provides.

I highly recommend OPTIONSIZZLE as an addition to your twitter and his premium service.
