SteadyOptions Reviews 41

i am a long time subscriber to steadyoptions though i do take some time off occasionally, i regret it and i always come back becoming a subscriber again. there are so much to learn and to digest in steadyoptions and so many ways you can use this service. it does have an alert service(not a recommendation but you get most out of this service from its educational segments in my opinion.

I have been a member of Steady Options since 2012. That’s right, I’ve been a member for 13 years! I was lucky to be one of the first members of this site. I’ve tried other services during this time and canceled those memberships, but I have stuck with Steady Options because they are simply the best in the business. Kim Klaiman is the founder and lead trader but he has surrounded himself with a team of other equally competent traders and mentors that help him run the business. The value in Steady Options is the education they provide. You can look over the shoulder of seasoned traders and observe their trading style. More importantly, if there is something you don’t understand, you can ask questions that are promptly answered. All of the trades are real, and alerts are provided immediately after trades execute with screenshots of the actual trades. Kim employs a variety of options strategies that include calendars, straddles, strangles, and diagonals. These orders are placed on many different stocks as their corresponding earnings dates approach. Because he trades a variety of different stocks, there are literally dozens of trades placed each quarter. Over time, you will learn that many of the same options trades are placed on the same stocks quarter after quarter. There is a pattern to his trading style. After some time of following his trades, I’ve learned the routine and understood the mechanics of each trade. I no longer have to wait for Kim to send his alerts. Even though I have been independent for a few years, I routinely come to the site whenever I’m looking for new ideas or if I have questions.

I’ve read some of the one-star reviews on this site and some of the statements are not true. As stated previously, the trades are real and returns can exceed 100% per year. I think some of the reviewers are frustrated because they either lost money on a trade or because the service is more work than anticipated; subscribers do need to spend time learning the strategies. If a subscriber is uncomfortable risking his or her own money, then trades can be performed in a paper trading account, which can be created in thinkorswim for free. Steady Options provides a quality education with honest and transparent performance that delivers consistent returns. I would enthusiastically recommend anyone wishing to learn how to be an independent and profitable options trader to give this service a try.

Steady Options in my opinion is the number one options service out there. Nowhere have I come upon a service that acts with such honesty and transparency. I have checked out more than a few over the last 25 years. I have been a member of SO for over ten years now and have never regretted it. What started out as mostly pre-earnings straddle and calendar plays has morphed into much more due to the quality of people contributing coming up with innovative and evolving ideas.

These have developed into actionable and profitable strategies. ETF plays, Double Diagonals, Iron Condors, RIC's, Credit spreads, Butterflies, more. There is even a strategy following the world price of oil and TLT. No risky straight calls or puts nor holding other strategies through an earnings announcement. Some strategies are scalable and some are not.

All of the trades are posted showing broker screenshots going back to inception. Even the worst trades are posted for eternity.

One of the best things about the site is it becomes second nature to come up with one's own trades alongside the official, as most are repeatable with tweaks along the way. This is where the discussion forums are valuable. Many well informed traders.

The website shows the almost unbelievable profit record that Steady Options has and I attest to it's veracity. The results do not show the cost of commissions and fees however as everyone's is different.

I recommend Steady Options to anyone with a basic understanding of options and is willing to get serious. There is a huge amount of useful educational material on site. Free.

I’ve been a member of SteadyOptions.com for a couple of years, and it’s easily one of the best trading communities I’ve come across. The community is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, with discussions that stay focused on solid, practical strategies rather than hype or speculation.

What I really appreciate is their disciplined approach — they don’t believe in reckless, high-risk trades just to chase quick gains. Instead, the strategies are carefully designed to manage risk while delivering consistent returns.

Another standout point is transparency. The performance results shown on the website aren’t just marketing fluff; in my experience, they are realistic and achievable if you follow the methodology.

If you’re serious about learning and applying proven options strategies with a community that values risk management, SteadyOptions is a fantastic place to be.

I started trading options long before joining Steady Options in 2014, and after all these years I can clearly see the benefits of being a member:
• Trading can be a very lonely activity, and joining
SO gave me a sense of community (even though
I haven’t posted once).
• I’ve developed much stronger money
management skills.
• I’ve improved my trading discipline.
• I’ve gained exposure to new trading ideas.
• By getting trade suggestions from SO, I spend
less time searching for my own trades.

Overall, SO has helped me become a better trader than I would have been on my own.
Do I think SO is worth the money, and would I recommend it to others? Absolutely. I joined with one service in 2014 and now subscribe to three under the SO umbrella.
That said, no one becomes a good trader simply by joining. SO is not a substitute for hard work and learning the trading craft on your own. It’s well known that only a small percentage of people have what it takes to succeed in trading long-term. But for those who do, Steady Options can be a very useful tool that helps them become more profitable traders.

The education and community here is well worth the price. I learned so much about trading options around earnings and how to understand different charts and tools that I would have no problem suggesting it to a family or friend.

The trade alerts are sometimes hard to get into and match their results but that should be seen as a bonus and not the most important part of the membership. The most important part is the education and the community.

I am new to the group and i can confirm that there is plenty of informations and sources to learn deeply about options and the different strategies. Everyone is very helpful and for me that is an outstanding community for option traders.

A serious, professional service with a treasure trove of information on its myriad number of services. All you need to learn appropriate strategies for gaining an options education.
A high level of customer service which which is very reassuring. I subscribed with confidence.

I have followed SteadyOptions for years (not always as a subscriber). The service is honest and, if you want to learn how to trade, the resources and experts are available. You will get out of it what you put into it. There are a variety of services to choose from to meet personal investment styles and objectives. I suggest you try a service out for a month to experience the discussions and communications.

I have been using Steady Options for about a year and have come to the following observations:

THE POSITIVES
Transparency: Every trade is tracked and recorded. Screen shots of actual trades by the service are always provided. And there is no skipping of bad trades in calculating Total Return. The raw results are even posted on the web site for non-members to see.

Integrity: I have watched Kim handle situations with unhappy members, something that always arise with any service. His responses have given me confidence that he is trustworthy. This is hard for any of us to establish, of course, in an Internet-only engagement, but I am impressed by what I have observed.

Results: The Total Return each year is impressive. I have found that I achieve about 70% of the service’s performance, based on my own fills and not participating in every trade. I imagine my number will increase as I get better, but a healthy percentage of the service’s results are truly available for average members.

Trade Types: There are a number of standard trades that I can participate in, mainly calendars and a double diagonal that resembles a hedged straddle. The DD especially matches my own trading style, as it offers a real possibility of a 10% return, while the downside is limited to about 10%. So I don’t get the occasional 75% loss that comes from condors or vertical spreads.

Forums: The forums are very active and the forum leaders are very responsive to questions and comments. The forums are also well organized and categorized, so that members don’t have to read through the endless banalities that plague so many other forums.

THE THINGS TO WATCH FOR
Patience: The goal of the service is to train members to extend the strategies to other stocks. There are many members that are doing this with success. But I would be patient in moving to this. There is a lot to learn and I moved to my own stock picks too soon. I only do the announced trades (and there are many), but will return to my own picks when I have more experience.

Fills: With every service, there is always a lot of discussion about fills, and getting the “official price”. Steady Options is no exception to this discussion, but I have found that there are just as many opportunities for better pricing if you don’t get an immediate fill. So, ultimately, it is a non-issue with the trade types being used by Steady Options.

Size Management: It is vitally important to manage a consistent size for each trade. This is taught consistently by the service, but it is still tempting to “go big” on an AMZN calendar or TSLA DD. I have learned my lesson!

THE THINGS TO IMPROVE
History: I wish there was a place (for members only) where the details of every trade were listed. I have spent a lot of time re-playing past trades to learn the system. I have to do this by laboriously finding all the trade announcement emails, etc.. It would be far better to be able to go to a single Google Sheet, e.g., and find the dates, strikes, etc. for every trade. It would also allow me to see the results, all together, for trade types of stock tickers.

All in all, a great service.

There are literally hundreds of stock and option advisors out there. Only one that I am aware of, Steady Options, records the results of every trade, win or lose, and shows its results on its website. Their track record of more than 100% profit annually over the last 10 years is amazing. They also want to help you learn how to trade options on your own--I can't believe how much I've learned!

I’ve been a SO member off and on for years, with breaks when I was occupied at work. The subject line of my review says it all, the service provides ‘steady’ account growth and has continuously improved since I have been a member.

It is time consuming and you have to understand options. If you are new to options, I suggest paper trading until you feel comfortable.

The email/forum alert system is awkward and outdated - the service would be well served to use something like Discord instead. I created an Outlook email address solely for use with SO and set Outlook push notifications on the Outlook app on my phone. This has proved to be a suitable work around and Outlook does not appear to have delays like Yahoo mail.

Do your own due diligence, SO publishes the performance going back several years. You won’t be a 0 DTE millionaire with Steady Options but you will make consistent gains.

I was a novice option trader in 2018 before I joined the Steady Options forum. I have learnt so much from being involved with Steady Options that I now trade options fluently with confidence, both following the SO forum trades and executing my own trades.
Kim, Yowster et al are excellent mentors for any anyone who wants learn how to trade options. The forum stays current as trade variants are added so the learning experience continues.
One trait of the forum that I appreciate is the consistency in approach to options trading, SO does not waiver from some basic trading rules that have stood the test of time.
In addition to learning an immense amount about the discipline of options trading, I am having a lot of fun making some good $ gains from doing this. If only my golf game would do the same!!

I joined Steady Options in 2016. I had years of experience studying options and doing trades with some success but a lot of ups and downs. I persevered and looked for the best company in the world and found SO on Investimonials. I am delighted I did. I find Kim to be very honest and I trust him very much. The community is outstanding and I have learnt a huge amount. I made money from the beginning but more recently I have been doing my own trades and have been making similar returns to the outstanding results SO is making. I agree with Kim that you need time to understand the concepts. I qualified as an electronics engineer . It took a lot more time to become an accomplished engineer. I am very happy as an SO member. The site is outstanding.

SteadyOptions is very educational site. Folks who last there as members are generally those who are willing to learn and apply and construct trades themselves. It has great forum where people interchange ideas and in general, try to help each other out.

I personally have never come close to matching the advertised returns, but given how much time I devote to it, I am very happy with what I am able to get.

Keep up the good work Kim and best wishes!

A relatively new subscriber having joined in June 2023 in the SteadyVol program. That lasted a month as I was totally lost trying to follow the strategy and trading approach. Probably good fortune to get out as quick as I did.

Joined SO in May 2024 and have been very active since then. I have been trading options for 5 or 6 years and tried other services in that time. Some work for me for a while but invariably I fall back into bad practices and poor results.

To date I have been getting up to speed on the double diagonal and put calendar pre-earnings strategies.

Thus far I have concentrated on the DD trades which have been quite succesful. With the help of forum members (particularly Yowster) I am getting more knowledgeable on how to search out my own opportunities and setup trades. The strategy has some good rules to manage any price movement over the length of the trade which is usually 2-3 weeks long.

The put calendar trades have been a bit more frustrating as getting fills similar to the service are hard to achieve. Since I started following the strategy there have been 29 official trade alerts which I have tried to respond to. I have not been able to match or get close to a fill on 14 of the trades. I do not chase these entries by more than 1-2%. This certainly effects my results. However with some work I feel confident that I can get ahead of the curve and start identifying these trades on my own. Again there are forum members that answer my questions as I start to increase my understanding of how these trades work. Also an extensive education section within SO's website to learn from.

Regards, Dave

PS rated it 4 stars given my experience with the put calendar strategy. Otherwise it is 5 stars.

I have been a member of Steady Options for over 4 years and have been very impressed with the company and it's members. This is a great place to learn and make money at the end of the day.
I have gone from trading very little and struggling at times to being a much more active trader and enjoying the success that Steady Options offers. I try to follow the official trades when I can but also trade just as much or more with unofficial trades. I have a full time job that distracts me from trading at times but have been able to be more active in trading the last couple of years. Without Steady Options I would not be as successful at trading as I am now.
Thanks to Kim, his team and a great community, this is fun.

Great customer service. Highly recommend

Incredible experience from start to finish

Business owner is incentivizing fake 5 star reviews from single review reviewers. Don’t let yourself get taken or pay any money to this service with fraudulent 100% annual returns claims! The best traders in the world make around 30%.

SteadyOptions has been around a number of years, obviously partly because of the clearly inflated fake claims of high returns, and provides value and education up to a point. I actually tried the service for short period, and learned some things. I did the homework and read nearly every education blog post on the entire site. But overall my experience was very negative.

The official trades recommendations get prices pushed higher by the volume of having thousands of subscribers jumping into the trades when they are published, which is a big problem on lower volume options. Personally I couldn't deal with it. My suggestion is to learn to do your own analysis and develop your own trades, not have to rely on what SteadyOptions and Kim, (or anyone else) thinks.

The absurd hype of the inflated claims of the SteadyOptions model portfolio up over 100% annually over a period of years is completely unrealistic. In my opinion this represents a false, unproven claim designed to get people to subscribe. There are no audited financial records provided by SteadyOptions or any of the founders that support this. Only supposed screenshots and a list of trades on the site. No one in the history of investing has ever achieved 100% per year returns consisentently, so this is not believable and is very likely massively overstated.

The reality is in options trading you can lose a lot of money, even if you follow a system. And SteadyOptions consistently understates the risk of the trades they engage in, but the point is that you are never going to get 100% returns per year, unless you are very very lucky which will only be for a short period of time. You could easily lose 20 to 30% per year. The idea that options trading is somehow very secure if you just follow the SteadyOptions trades is simply not accurate.

Also, it appears there a a lot of positive reviews that have no substance, and seem to be encouraged by SteadyOptions to create a response to anyone who dares to tell the truth and post a negative reivew.

The only positive thing I can really say is Steady Options has a good free education section for those that are interested.

Overall I do not recommend SteadyOptions.

Update: Steady Options continues to use the comment section to disparage and attack anyone posting a negative review, to distract from Steady Options obviously false claims of 100% per year options trading returns. My review represents my honest opinion, and is also based on factual analysis of other fake investment return claims which have been around for decades. For anyone who thinks you can earn 100% per year like Steady Options claims, I invite Steady Options to provide audited financial statementd by a major USA CPA firm, verifying their claims including actual account statements...not just screenshots. We all know they will never do this. Whenever anyone challenges Steady Options fake claims, they engage in a campaign to discredit the reviewer, like they are here.

Responding to reviews by calling reviewers "haters" and "humiliating" them is online slander, and only shows that Steady Options has something to hide.
