I love the conservative strategies John and Troy teach. I also really love the no BS way the teach - so clear, so thorough. I have little to no experience in trading and their core strategy is all I am using and it is working great! I feel like an unlock button has been hit - that can allow me to rest easy about my growth and the growth of my portfolio. I highly recommend LST.
I’d heard of options trading. I’d tried to learn it. I read books. I knew two people who made their living trading options. But I couldn’t get it. Then in October 2025 a friend told me he was having success in Low Stress Options. I already knew Troy. I read the information page and joined. I didn’t need to join an information call. I knew if it was Troy’s program it’d work. Three things you should know if you’re considering this program: It works and doesn’t need modification. All of the training included in the basic program is enough to turn even a tiny trading account into a huge trading account. While there are additional courses available within the environment, none of them are required to be successful. Be open minded. Be teachable. Since starting my trading journey eight months ago, using only LSO guidance, I’ve increased my trading account by 31.96%. The account had previously been in an index fund and was making about 1/3rd of that value. And quite frankly it had losses then that I don’t experience now. Your mileage may vary. I’ve made some mistakes. There are others who are more successful with this method than I am. Some make higher gains. Some started with a bigger account than I did. I find the support to be outstanding. The community of members is warm and equal. The information calls are informative. I did not need convincing. I joined. I did the work. I have the cash to prove it works. And I’ll be retiring early because of it. Satisfied customer.
There's a lot of things that have made my experience great with Low Stress Trading. I believe we are taught to think that doing anything related to the stock market and trading is very risky and that it's best left to the so-called professionals. Now I know that's just a way to keep regular people from having any real control over their own money and financial future. I took a leap of faith with LST and I feel it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Actually, it wasn't much of a leap. If you get on one of the owners free sales calls you'll see that they are extremely genuine, thorough,and shockingly honest. They show you details of what they do with their own money. And if you think, ok, they're good salesmen, big deal. Yes, they're great salesmen, but it's backed up with real knowledge, experience, thoughtful attention to detail, long-suffering patience with newbies, and lots of value for your money. The community is very helpful and supportive. I can't recommend it enough.
...success rate of this trading framework. It is not about the money, it is about a mind shift, which means being patience, disciplined and sticking to the simple, straightforward rules thoroughly explained in the trading system to literally grow your money 1% per week, at least.
I am not great at writing these things, flowery language never feels authentic coming from me, just not my style. However, I am having difficulty describing my experience of Low Stress Trading/Options without getting into flowery territory. Previously, my wife and I had been saving and projections had us turning our nest egg into ~$350k by retirement time in 20 years, future contributions notwithstanding. This was not a source of comfort, to say the least, and I’ve been looking for better ways to invest for years. I just happened to see a YouTube interview Troy did last fall and was very intrigued but of course skeptical. I ended up deep diving on options trading, running numbers, watching their sales zoom calls and hem hawing for months. Finally right before the new year I had a talk with my wife and decided to take a chance on this framework. I went through the training twice, opened a Schwab account and made my first tiny trade Jan 9th. I kept our account size low for months until I had a bit more confidence, and then added in chunks every week Feb-March. Now, entering the 4th week of May, I’ve just passed over the $21k mark in total profits. My average weekly rate of return is currently at 1.62%, despite some rough weeks during the Iran insanity. A year ago I was resigned to the fact that I would need to work into my 70s to make our retirement numbers work. Today my entire paradigm has changed, and conservatively we should have enough in our brokerage to retire in under 10 years. I don’t know how to put into words how grateful I am to have found this framework. I’m so excited every Monday morning to place trades, and move the ball forward another yard or two. I’m so excited thinking of how to make more money in the next few years, to get this snowball bigger at the beginning stages. I’m excited to think how different my kids lives will be, more opportunities, experiences that weren’t in the picture not long ago. I can’t wait to hand over custodial accounts to each one and have them go through the course one day, teaching them how to trade as they’re ready. To wrap up, I think the course is worth far more than what they charge, I think the software, tools, weekly calls, and the wonderful community they’ve created are worth more than the monthly subscription, any one of them would be. Very soon we will have full Schwab integration within the LST software, I’m sure at great expense to them, very exciting, the value keeps building. They do have upsells, and I’ve found more value in some than others. None are essential, the core strategy is more than enough. For me and my situation, this purchase has already paid for itself many times over in a short period, so I’m more open to checking them out. Until you’ve made back more than the purchase price I wouldn’t be thinking of anything other than the core framework. I will say I love their 3050 Puts course, Affordable AI, as well as Boldly Bitcoin. All have made me a bit more returns than the core framework, and have improved my knowledge and skills as a trader, so I will be using aspects of them for a long time to come. Thank you Troy, John, Lindsay, Adam, Ben, Lance, and everyone else behind the scenes. It’s hard to overstate what a difference this is making for our family. Here’s to our continued success, the future is bright.
LST provides concise but thorough training in options trading that avoids risk and focuses on slow, steady profits. The owners provide support in four weekly zoom calls that guide new members while they learn not only the principles (Rule #1 Never Lose Money), but also the mechanics. They are knowledgeable and patient--with some occasional tough love. The online community of other students along with frequent participation of the instructor/owners is not only supportive, but also helpful. The strategy has produced the advertised 1% weekly for me so far after only 5 months of trading. I have now made enough in profits to cover my initial costs.
I first heard about Low Stress Options through Ben Settle and Tom Woods' newsletters, and it has completely changed how I handle my money. I signed up in October and spent that whole first month studying the guides for about two hours every single day. By the first week of November, I placed my very first trade exactly how they teach it: selling just one put on one stock. The next week, I stepped it up to two stocks, and by the third week, I was managing multiple contracts. Since then, I haven’t missed a single week of trading—even with wars and crazy global news happening. Most people think the stock market is too risky for regular folks, but this system is all about keeping things safe and making steady gains week after week. It takes some discipline, but the rules are simple to follow. A huge part of why this works is the incredible support. The owners, Troy and John, along with the rest of the teachers, are super knowledgeable and genuinely care about our success. We get continuous, patient coaching during multiple live calls every single week. It doesn't matter if you are a total beginner or have some experience; they adapt everything to your level and answer every single question without rushing. The online community is also incredibly helpful, and the software and tools you get are worth way more than the monthly price. They do have extra courses you can buy later, but the main strategy is more than enough to make good money. This was hands down my best discovery of 2025. It started as a fun, highly profitable hobby, but my goal is to live entirely off this trading strategy within the next three years. If you are willing to put in the time and follow the steps, it pays off fast.
I heard about LST from Tom Woods, whom I trust based on many years of online and in-person interaction. Without Tom's recommendation, I would have chalked up LST as just another "too good to be true" attempt to separate me from my hard-earned savings. Since starting in June 2025, my results have been beyond what I could have hoped for. There was plenty for me to learn, as I came into the program with absolutely zero experience in options trading. The course material was clear and concise, teaching me only the necessary information to place profitable trades. That's not saying there aren't opportunities to go deeper with additional training, but there isn't a lot of fluff or noise to sort through to learn what I needed. The support from the program staff and the community of students has been rock-solid and a key component in my success. While the 1% per week goal does sound too good to be true, I can say that in my 11 months using the LST framework, I have exceeded that metric! For me this is truly life-changing, as I went from worrying how I would have enough for retirement to a confidence that I can entirely replace my income using the material that Troy and John teach. I couldn't be more pleased with the results!
Low Stress Trading has genuinely changed my life. I joined in June 2025 wanting to learn more about how trading could help me meet my financial goals. What I got was 1000x more than I expected. The joining fee and monthly cost are FAR outweighed by the service, support, and results that LST provides. In terms of service and support, the LST crew has built an incredible community. You’re trained on their approach, meet weekly with the LST team and other members, and get full access to a robust tracker that helps you research opportunities and monitor your account growth. And the results speak for themselves. I’ve gone from targeting a conventional retirement to actively planning for early retirement and redirecting as much money as possible into my LST trading accounts. For the first time, I truly see a path toward financial independence and building generational wealth for my children. DO NOT hesitate if you’re considering LST. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I only wish I had started earlier.
I've been in the program about 5 months at this point and have made my money back many times over. There's not much I can say that hasn't been said already in 100+ other testimonies here. Don't listen to that 1 bitter jerk, he has no idea what his missing right now. His loss. Not a scam... ✅ Life changing...✅ Easier than you think it will be...✅ Too good to be true...❌ NOPE Give it a chance, you won't regret it.
Like a lot of people, I thought this sounded too good to be true. But this training really can turn you into an effective trader even if you have little to no experience. You do have to put in the time up front, but I now only spend a couple of hours a week with great results. Help is always available when you need it from really wonderful staff. Highly recommended.
The owners are transparent about the learning course they offer (if anything, they undersell it), and about potential results you can achieve by selling stock options with this method. I started with ZERO options knowledge, have been using this framework for about 4 months now, have not lost any money, and am outperforming the funds I have in my other account, which is managed by a CFP through a major brokerage house. Highly recommended program that has the potential to change your financial trajectory in dramatic fashion - and I don't say that lightly!
The product offered is as advertised. You will need to devote yourself to the training to learn the framework they teach you. The staff and community is supportive and helpful. I have used this company for over 6 months with success.
Joined in July 2025 and the experience has exceeded all my expectations. I owe a great debt of gratitude to Tom Woods for introducing me to this as well as Troy and John who run the program, Lindsay, Jenny and the whole Low Stress team! The community is extremely supportive and friendly. The customer service is very quick to respond. Low stress is absolutely the right name! The framework is easy to learn and follow...if I can do it, anyone can! I'm so excited about the future!
Signed up for this program back in July of 2025. Finished all of the courses, joined all of the amazing support calls, and had them hand-holding me through my first trades. Everything was amazing and smooth. As long as you listen and follow their advice, heed the warnings, you can avoid the traps and be successful. The community inside their program is also super supportive. Everyone jumps in to help everyone else. I could not be happier with the program.
This is such a great program at its base, and beyond that they have a wonderful platform to investigate your potential trades and analyze your results. Plus a very responsive helpdesk. All around A++.
The sales page seemed to be too good to be true but here's the wild thing: this program EXCEEDED my expectations. I first thought, "Well, if this framework is so effective, why doesn't everyone do it?" In hindsight, it's because we rarely do what we know works; it's easier to complain or look for the shortcut. Low Stress Options isn't a shortcut. It's a life-changing education that has changed my family's future, and I recommend it to everyone in my circle.
I started Low Stress Trading with ZERO stock experience. I didn't even know what an option, a put, or a call was. After going through the training videos, which were very thorough, and attending several of the zoom meetings that are available to us throughout the week, I made my first trade. The first 2 months, I'm averaging 1.92% PER WEEK - not per month, or per year. So, more than delivers on the 1% ROI per week target. I was surprised how simple placing the trades are. The support is world-class and there isn't a questions that I don't get answered either through the videos, the very active community, customer support, or in the live calls. The value is incredible. I'm not sure why they charge so little for the program, but I'm just one of thousands of people in the program finding success. Try to find a company today on Trustpilot with a 4.9 star review - especially on trading education! We're well on our way to create an income that will finance our future freedom in a very big way.
I joined LSO in April of 2025, and took my first trade on the last Monday of that month. As of today, 3/23/26, I have made just under $12K in total, with an average return well above 1%. I started with way less than the recommended amount (only $1K for the first few weeks) and I still paid off the cost of joining LSO within 12 weeks. It would have taken much less time if I'd started with the recommended $10K. If you put the work in and focus on learning and improving your mindset, LSO will change your life. I went from having no hope of retirement (less than $25K saved in crappy 401(k) and IRAs over the years) to having a realistic plan to retire by age 42, less than 4 years after joining LSO. Even if I somehow miss that goal (which already has a good bit of drop off built in just in case), my most pessimistic estimate will still allow me to retire by the time I am 44. Who shouldn't join LSO? Anyone who isn't willing to listen to the several thousand people who have gone before and proven it works. Anyone who isn't willing to practice patience and discipline and control their emotions. Anyone who is looking to get their fun from trading, instead of accepting that it's best to be boringly profitable over time and get your excitement from other areas of life. If you're willing to put in the work (it gets easier and easier as you go, I promise!), LSO will absolutely pay off. I've tried at least half a dozen side hustles before, and nothing else worked for me. They all required more than I had to give, in time, money, or initiative. LSO has delivered right from the start, and it was very motivating to see results from my very first trade. One more thing I will add is that there are a lot of add-on courses available to purchase. I recommend waiting at least 6 months before adding anything else on, because everything builds on the core framework and will be more effective once you've got that down.
Despite upsells, great program to learn options trading. Tough market right now with high volatility and many underlying stocks dropping 10-30%. Their strategy is to block out the emotions and pain of paper losses and work through the long term trade and wait for the stocks to rebound. No magic bullet or hocus pocus to teleport into the green across all markets with simplicity and ease. Lots of ‘holding on for dear life’ and puckering through the pain. No shortcuts. Be prepared to learn but it will be a rollercoaster and may not entirely be low stress. Great profit opportunity for those willing to slow down and be patient and learn the framework. Lots of good people in this curated community. The rotten eggs will be booted. You have been warned. As long as you’re polite, grateful, and on your best behavior you have nothing to worry about. That is who this program is made for!
