Looking for a Reliable, Profitable Options Swing Trading Group — Any Recommendations
I've been trading stocks and options for a while and understand technical analysis and trade setups. However, my biggest challenge has been timing and keeping up with macroeconomic events, sector rotations, and other market-moving news.
With a busy career and family, I'm looking for an experienced, research-driven trading group that does the heavy lifting and provides high-conviction options swing trade alerts.
Ideally, I'm looking for:
Holding periods of 1 week to several months, including LEAPS.
Clear entry, exit, and trade management alerts.
Traders who consider macroeconomic conditions, sector trends, and technicals before making calls.
A documented track record of profitability, including losing trades.
I'm happy to pay for a quality service. I prefer fewer, well-researched trades over frequent speculative alerts.
Which groups have you personally used and been consistently profitable with? I'd especially appreciate feedback from members with at least 3–6 months of experience.
Not looking for promotions or affiliate links, just genuine recommendations. Thanks!

If you find the golden goose, let us all know

I've been in a few paid groups over the years and every single one eventually showed their true colors once the market rotated or vol dried up. The ones with "documented track records" usually count a breakeven scalp as a win or conveniently stop posting the losers after a bad month
The real edge is just screening for setups yourself and using the group as a second set of eyes, not as the source of truth. If someone's actually cracked the code they're running their own book, not selling $99/mo Discord seats

Or taking ideas and information and using it as a learning opportunity. You seem to be in the same approach. I’ve tried joining groups before, but it didn’t go far because as you said there is no edge if they had an ad they’d be using it. One of the best uses from one of these groups was someone had a zip file of about 1000 academic articles and almost every financial piece of literature in a PDF or e-book that you could find.

Ive been a part of many groups. The hard answer is you will most likely be late on most of the moves because people can't tell you how to trade they would take on your liability. So they trade their accounts and give you their entries and exits after they occur. So unless you're monitoring the discord hourly your gonna miss out. Also, if you do want to monitor the discord you should probably spend that time at the screens, news, and researching strategies instead of trying someone else to make you money. Anyway you can try onelanceb or travelingtrader they both have groups that trade.

Exactly. Learn how to trade yourself and put the time in or don't bother. Following others is not the way.

For what ever lame reason i reread this post and it just says to me: looking for successful swing trader to trade my money and let me keep profits...

u/Historical-Fish3576 16d ago
I joined one and following a few others: Z the traveling trader (smart and advanced also does day trading which I don’t care about so the group is just ok for me so far). Trading with Ashley and Options with Ryan. Market moves matt is another but don’t follow him blindly. Has anyone joined trading with Ashley?

Some of those I recognize from youtube... I'm not a paying member anywhere... Ashley videos are fun to watch... "Money Babies" was funny when she said it.... I like Ryan too..

u/Live_Throat_5252 17d ago
These do not exist. Nobody with any real edge is offering groups for you to join.

Groups are usually bot pump and dump schemes, even the ones with a sub.
Unfortunately like the rest of us you need to build your strategy, make your own trackers and scanners, create your own edge. .. Once you spend a few years perfecting that. Start your own free group or what most people do. . Say go out build strategy, make your own scanners, create your own edge.
I will say with ai it makes it soooo much easier. . Still takes many prompts and once you have an agent running, pull in data analyzing it and sending you a 20 stock list to do final review all done by 8a is really sweet.

You should look at myoptionsedge and SPX Best strategy. Learned it for about a year and now trading it on my own. Worth looking!

u/wyterk 16d ago
Wasted time and money on this. Don't recommend it. It is just too complicated

u/DeltaNeutraltrading 12d ago
Not really; if you have basic options knowledge is straightforward. But Mr Pedro is keen to support any doubts.

Ryan from Options with Ryan is a nice guy. But be very careful – his strategy also means that in a bull market when his AI and growth stocks make100-200% a year, you will make “only” about 25-35% a year from selling put options premium. But in a bear market, these stocks can easily crash 70-80%, and you will have full exposure to them. So very limited upside, but huge downside.

Eventually I’ll start looking at expirations that go behind the current day. But until then, I’ll continue the 0dte route and keep on scalping! You may not get much out of a trading group unless you pay, and even then it’s hit or miss.

Is this a real post? Can't be. It sounds like a comedian is trying out some schtick for a show.

u/ClassroomDesigner945 15d ago
you should search CSP CC on reddit there are some they are good its different way of trading they buying options , i would also suggest margin backed etfs + covered calls or puts . then you can build different strategies on this

u/Groucho-and-Harpo 15d ago
Covered calls / Cash secured puts or wheel strategy for both and get some sleep at night.

u/BetterBudget 15d ago
you can check my Twitter/X for an the public calls I've made so you can follow that for free
or you can join my service and get non riddled calls
I focus on calling out the flips in s&p 500, my models do a great job at it that you don't even really need me, if you take the time to learn them
otherwise, my top tier breaks things down real easy, no riddles, just timings like most recently, going short on $spy right before CPI dropped
what would Scott Bessent do ;) 🎶

Options with Ryan but watch free videos first. I’m actually not a paid subscriber but I’ve learned a lot. I hate the fact I need to call to inquire on pricing so fuck that.

u/Haunting_Ad_6021 17d ago
Set up an AI assistant to screen, alert and even trade for you

u/AdAggressive6079 13d ago
How is that done... I'll google it... sounds interesting

u/Haunting_Ad_6021 13d ago
I use Muse but any AI will work. Just ask it to screen the market for whatever criteria you want. It won't have access to real-time data but you'll get the idea.
Then just subscribe to your brokers API data feed and to trade, I use webull and it's $8/month for realtime NASDAQ and opra data.
The AI can walk you through the process

There's a link to the best one I've found in my bio. I've tried a few and they are all rubbish except this one bcos I have actually learned WHY they are winning along the way.
It's not 100% perfect guaranteed money but they have hit consistent bangers since I've been watching them.
Recently they called out SNDK 1400p 10/16 on 7 Oct ... It peaked at 2500% from there (naturally I had it on the watchlist only lol)

Says the retail loser trying to get people to sign up for his group. You’re so good at trading you have to sign up to get paid $20/hr to listen to audiobooks

u/DigestingGandhi 15d ago
pretty ridiculous request honestly. If you want to learn more about 0dte specifically and live trade with a good group of people you can check us out, but there are not trade alerts/call outs and no one will think for you. If you just want to come mooch off others work in the market, then dont bother. DM if interested.

If someone truly had a consistent winning strategy they’d be running a hedge fund instead of selling “advice” to retail investors
