Who is Simpler Trading?

We are a community of real traders founded by bestselling author, John  F. Carter.

We don’t do ‘theory’ or brag about ‘hypothetical’ results. We share what’s working for us in real-time every day in our online trading chatroom.  

Each trader on our team is successful in their own right - hand picked by John Carter to serve different trading styles in our community.  Our combined experience adds up to more than 100 years. But instead of bragging about us, why don’t we just share what our members say about their results?  

"It is so much different than watching a screen because you get to meet so many like-minded people. There is such a diverse group of traders giving the presentations that it seems like every piece of your personality is encompassed in Simpler Trading. It's a gathering that you never substitute. Really amazing." Jim H

"GM all, retirement countdown... 4 weeks from today!!!  I owe it all to ST" Tom M

"While I have the chance, I wanted to thank you for having such an informative website and presenters. I look forward each day watching how your traders trade, and learning the nuances of real full time traders. The amount of information you have archived is incredibly helpful and accessible. Thank you guys for what you do. You all do it extremely well. Your communication skills, knowledge base, the interactive engagement process. It’s excellent!" Sandy Stone

"The best membership around by far - I have been a member in 3 other clubs - this one is the absolute best - feel free to quote me" Jill

"By the way I just would like to say how happy I am that I found Simpler Trading. I have been in several trading rooms and been very disappointed and have lost a lot of money with their trading systems while trying to lean options trading. John Carter is amazing and a great mentor, his inside to trading and the markets is priceless, well maybe not priceless but well worth the monthly membership. I have learned a lot in the month I have been in the trading room. Everyone has help me tremendously, I love how everyone takes the time to analyze their trades, position and the overall markets. I just would like to thank everyone. Keep up the great work!! It is very much appreciated." Tom P.

Now you know why we do what we do every day. So many of our new members tell us they wish they’d found us sooner.

Here’s a brief introduction to Simpler Trading…

Most traders don’t have anyone in their lives who understand what we do. It’s a solitary business. When John Carter started in 1996 he only had his goldfish to talk to. So in 1999, he launched TradetheMarkets.com to share his ideas with fellow traders online. By 2005 he published the first edition of his bestseller, Mastering the Trade (now in its third edition!).  And by 2010 the company evolved into what is now Simpler Trading. By 2014, John became best known for the biggest win of his career (so far).  That was the time he made $1.41 million in 24-hours on TSLA options.

As exciting and profitable as that experience was, John’s mission is to target high probability opportunities and help traders discover how to be consistently profitable and shorten the journey to long term success.

Over the years, John attracted other accomplished traders to the team in Austin, Texas - each willing to share actionable ideas in real-time. Using state of the art technology, we deliver daily training to thousands of members via webinars, mentor coaching, interactive chatrooms, and live-trading.

To support our community, we have dedicated customer service teams with real-time support, including tech support sessions. Our goal is to ensure you get the training and support you need and we are here to help you achieve your goals.
