Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW:

EDitor’s UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to Trading Advantage Capital for its commitment to excellence in customer service.

Ripoff Report’s discussions with Trading Advantage Capital have uncovered an ongoing commitment by the company to total customer satisfaction. This means that customers can expect that the company will work towards finding a reasonable resolution to complaints or concerns. Trading Advantage Capital listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.

Trading Advantage Capital's principal, Mr. Larry Levin, has informed us that even though he continues to trade the S&P 500 at the Chicago Board of Trade, his real passion lies in teaching people to trade the correct way.

Another top executive of the company told us that Mr. Levin's personal business philosophy is based on the premise that “Trading Advantage is dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction. Empowering traders of all levels to achieve their financial goals. Mr. Levin believes success requires an education.”

One of the other things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its review: typical customer feedback reads: “Trading Advantage Capital (and Mr. Levin) truly communicate all aspects of the job in a timely and effective manner. We are very pleased with the responsiveness that he and his employees show us. They are serious about meeting commitments, and deliver on all their promises.”

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Gary Sinclair and Larry Levin during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Trading Advantage Capital.

Trading Advantage Capital (TAC) is a self-described educational company similar to an online based school which teaches clients how to trade in all financial markets. They conduct live web classes that they teach their clients proprietary technical trading techniques.

TRADING ADVANTAGE CAPITAL / The New Client Process

TAC implements several forms of advertising and lead generation methods. The Company sends email advertisements and run radio ads. A potential client that replies to a radio advertisement will call an 800 number. This will allow a person to leave contact information to receive a follow-up call with more information. A commission based sales associate will call the “prospect” back with more information surrounding the services offered. The prospect and sales associate will discuss the product in detail, including pricing. If agreed, the prospect will purchase the product form the sales associate.

The new client will now be eligible to receive daily newsletters from Trading Advantage Capital. The client will attend online web classes led by an educational advisor. At any time during these sessions a client has the opportunity to ask questions and get involved with their learning experience.

TRADING ADVANTAGE CAPITAL / Interntal Customer Service Improvement

To address recent complaints towards Trading Advantage, the company is constantly changing their customer service policies.

"That’s why they brought me in. I’ve been with this company for years, then they asked me to come downtown and work out of the office here. That is the major improvement we made.” ~ Gary Sinclair

"Part of the problem is we grew so fast and we have so many sales representatives here. A lot of times the customer service was left in their hands which wasn’t the right way to do it. They’re commission-based sales people so sometimes they are not in a big hurry to help the person after the sale is made. We switched that out of their hands and put people that are specific to customer service to step in and help the customers they also function as a technical support team.” ~ Owner, Larry Levin

Another area of improvement in an effort to address recent consumer complaints is the implementation of a compliance training program for new sales people. Trading Advantage Capital is evolving on a constant basis to improve process, policy, and procedure.

Trading Advantage Capital was asked about their refund policy in an effort to address specific complaints. The company has a clearly outlined policy within the “Trading Advantage Purchase Agreement”. There have been several extenuating circumstances in which the company has issued a refund to their client. Most of the time the company will offer another solution of transferring the active subscription to a new user (friend or family).

When asked about RipOff Report’s Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, Mr. Larry Levin stated that he is in agreement with the principles surrounding any program that speaks for the individual consumer. He believes that overall the people at RipOff Report want to do the right thing by the consumer and he wants the same for his consumer.

TRADING ADVANTAGE CAPITAL / Statements from the owner.

"Every employee at Trading Advantage Capital is 100% committed to the goal of being the best trading education provider out there. Not a day goes by where we don't strive to understand and serve our customers better. Our customers are literally the center of our universe.”

I started in this industry over 20 years ago as a runner at the CME group, the world’s largest and most diverse futures exchange, I quickly climbed the ranks to become one of the most successful traders in the S&P 500 pit. At the height of my trading career, I averaged between 2500-3000 S&P contracts per day.

Drawing on my extensive experience and knowledge base, I wanted to share the secrets of my success with a larger audience, and I took time off from trading to write a comprehensive course. In 1998 I formed Trading Advantage™, a publishing company enabling me to distribute my trading course, The Secrets of Floor Traders. In 2000 I sold the rights to the course Secrets of Floor Traders to Secrets of Traders, LLC to market the products on my behalf.

I recognized early on the inevitable shift away from the open outcry pits to an electronic marketplace, so the foundation of the Trading Advantage education has been teaching students to trade online. I’m now a nationally recognized media figure, I've been interviewed hundreds of times on virtually every major financial media outlet including CNBC, Bloomberg TV, and Fox Business News. I continue to trade the S&P 500 at the Chicago Board of Trade but my real passion lies in teaching people to trade the correct way.

Every employee at Trading Advantage is 100% committed to the goal of being the best trading education provider out there. We work to give our customers cutting-edge technological and educational products and services and we are always working to refine, improve, and update our infrastructure and educational materials. Not a day goes by where we don't strive to understand and serve our customers better. Our customers are literally the center of our universe.”

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

-------------------------------------

Larry Levin Trading Advantage, LLC Be Wary Chicago, Illinois

Be extra careful with this company.  Do read all the fine print.  What you will find is that they do not provide a cancellation policy.  You cannot cancel. You cannot change your mind. Even within minutes of hitting the submit button, you are committed. They "got you". This is a high priced service that requires you to sit by the computer during the entire trading day.  You leave - you lose.  If you have no life other than watching ticks going back and forth on your screen, then this is for you. Otherwise - run.  Don't even think about this one. Oh, and they don't respond.  They ignore you time and time again. If you want aggravation, then this is for you.  If not - don't bother.
