Don't lose money with them!!!
I lost a lot of money with their services (live trading, replicator, bots, etc.) and additionally they don't want to give my money back (replicator), I am still in the 3 months of warranty, but they denied my refund. Keep away of them. All of what they offer is not true, there is no win rate of +80%, in the trading room they do not place trades live in front of you and they do not call the trades even as an educational purpose (you don't see entries, stop lost and profit target), the bot they have does not win any single trade.
Not my cup of tea...
After watching the owner of this company achieve success in the mortgage world and following him for over 15 years it was easy to trust what I heard in his many social media posts about his company. While I believe the Options program at this company is successful I do believe the Futures program to be lacking and not what was advertised on social media nor in any presentation given by the owner. Along with myself many others invested in the Futures program along with a trade replication program called Flight Path.
While I invested in the program in the fall of 2024 the Flight Path replication program had many delays and did not officially launch until March when we were asked to sign contracts on the 14th to continue our participation in the program which we had purchased months earlier. It was was deemed a success and ready to go by the owner. In a zoom meeting on April 26, 2025 we were encouraged to scale our investments (increase the cash we trade) as the owner felt Flight Path was unbreakable and it was a good time to make money or more money. We were encouraged with rules, guidelines, and according to our own cash account margins. I followed all of the rules set before me, I crossed every T and dotted every I that I was told to follow. As I had at the time a few dollars to invest I scaled into the Flight Path program in several of its versions after testing in simulation but throughout that time there have been hiccups which caused losses.
Since purchasing Flight Path last fall until now I have lost over $3700 with the Flight Path program with the professional trader(s) responsible for the program unable to trade using the trade replicator known as Flight Path successfully.
I have not learned what I was promised I would learn by my sales person to successfully trade on my own yet so I had very high hopes in the Flight Path program and the Futures Flight School I invested in.
At this point I have invested over $10,000 and lost $3700 with this company's Flight Path program with very limited communication from the top people in the company. I have never heard from my sales person ever again despite numerous attempts and because I purchased in 2024 I am well beyond my refund period of 90 days as I waited for the program to launch. By patiently waiting and trusting for the Flight Path program to launch I unfortunately negated any opportunity for a refund.
While every investment is at risk it is disappointing to have had such very high hopes to have met with no success. While I do believe intentions for the Futures program and Flight Path were honorable they unfortunately have not achieved the success of other programs that this company offers.
I would be very much very aware before spending a dime on any bot, or trade replication product that this company offers as well as think twice before investing in the Futures Flight School in my opinion. But to be fair do your own due diligence and ask to speak to other students not staff members who have participated and perhaps they have had better results than I. Just be careful and decide for yourself if this is the right program for you.
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE
I purchase a bot and option program from this company. Well about 40
Days into the option program I was not satisfied with the trading program. So I ask for a refund and was granted it …Then about 15 more day in the bot I purchased started to have huge draw down so I spoke with my rep Shawn Moore and said I wanted a refund. He said that Dan was offering a new program called the replicator because of the loss that a lot of the members had experienced. Shawn said that the only way to get the replicator at the discount price of 4K was to not get a refund on the bot. So I purchase the replicator 8/15/24. Now fast forward to 3-15-25 when the replicator was finally launched. Yea that is 7 months later. We went thru several changes and experienced several problems with the programming of the replicator. So at this point of waiting and disappointment I asked for a refund. I was told by my rep Shawn that will not be a problem. So when I called and ask for the refund he said that I would have to speak with Dan or Audry. So I sent a request and was asked to fill out a request. So I did. After I filled out the request… I was told it was past the 90 day period. Well at this point I was shocked and frustrated. Because when I purchased the replicator there was no agreement sent or sign for this program. The agreement wasn’t sent out until 3-25 when the program was finally launched. And I signed my agreement on 3/20/25. Which is with in the 90 days. I have all the info documented to prove my point.
Please stay away from this company
They do not honor their word!!!

I purchased the Algo Bot after telling…
I purchased the Algo Bot after telling Rep I did not want anything with a Martingale strategy, but a few weeks later I noticed repeated and increasing trades that were losing money, I informed Rep that I wasn't happy with it and I asked to stop the trading Bot immediately. I incurred a $4200.00 loss, Rep Joel then mentioned another program called the Replicator, where professional trader would trade and it would duplicate in my account. He said nobody at U of O ever was dissatisfied and he would work with me until I was happy, leading me to believe that I could cancel anytime. After a few months in this new Trading system (Replicator), the losses continued, about $50 to $100 every day. I finally stopped the trading and asked for a refund but was told there's no refunds after 90 days. Something that was never mentioned before. I have a total of $4700 loss in trading and the fee was $4900. Stay away from them!!!
UOO is a SCAM
As did many others, I spent 10K to be taught by a "wall street broker". There was no teaching at all from Dan, that was a 6K purchase. Additionally he said he was "developing" a automated trading bot and that profits would pay for the additional 4K cost to purchase that part of his program. Nothing! He was not involved in any of the training or trading. Paid for the automated bot in September of 2024 and by May 2025, it still was having software issues and when it was working it lost money continuously. He kept asking us to be patient to the point of going way past his return policy and has not responded to any of my efforts to get my money back.
STAY FAR AWAY from this company. Law suits are coming his way

Great Place to Learn Options Trading the Right Way
There are tons of trading resources out there, but Dan Rawitch and UOO really stand out. Options trading can be scary... and honestly…it should be until you know what you’re doing. That’s where Dan and the UOO crew come in. They break things down, coach you through strategies, and trade live as a team every day. If you’re thinking about adding trading as a side income or want to go pro, this is a solid place to start. Highly recommend!
Dan and the entire team are awesome
Dan and the entire team are awesome. Many trainings every week, great indicators, and most of all knowledgeable, great, fun people!
Absolutely the Best Day Trading Program Out There — Period.
I joined University of Options after losing money trying to figure it out on my own — and it’s been a game-changer. From day one, their white-glove setup on TradingView made me feel supported and confident. You don’t just get a login and fend for yourself; they walk you through it, answer your questions in live Zooms, and actually get to know you as a trader. You’re not a number here — you’re part of a real community.
Their Flight Station platform is completely custom-built and includes Bull and Bear signals, so there’s no guessing about direction. Want to know if it's time to go long or short? It’s right there. And if something isn’t working — even if it’s just a small TradingView setting — they’ll fix it with you. No brushing you off.
What’s incredible is this isn’t just theory. You get to watch a 40-year trading veteran trade LIVE twice a day with an over 80% win rate, in real time. It’s not fake, it’s not a gimmick, and it’s not a “get rich quick” pitch. This is about becoming a skilled, confident, and profitable trader — one setup at a time.
We mostly trade SPY 0DTE, but there’s also futures and iron condors. I’m currently focused on mastering one strategy before I move on, and they fully support that.
No monthly fees, no pressure to use prop firms (though you can if you want), and the best part? Once you’re in, you’re in for life — and my husband gets access too!
So to anyone calling this a scam: stop. It’s not only disrespectful, it’s flat-out wrong. If you want to stop spinning your wheels and start learning from real pros, this is the place. My motto? Find the best and learn from them — and I did.
My experience has been "wow!"
Have you ever had an experience where some product or service gives you so much value beyond what you paid that you actually feel guilty? Well, that's how I feel about University of Options and that’s why I’m doing this review…
I joined their options trading program (they have other programs; I’m only in the options program) over a year ago and I learned the basics of options trading using their materials. But at the same time, I began attending their live trading sessions where an experienced trader, most frequently UOO founder Dan Rawitch, leads an online group of people who place trades alongside the very experienced trader. And it’s THERE that I think the value is “over-the-top”… It’s one thing to take a course, or watch a video, or read a book about trading – it’s an ENTIRELY different experience to actually DO it. Those live sessions are inspirational - you SEE others making money on a pretty much daily basis. You know that if THEY can do it, with the proper trade discipline, YOU can do it - and you do.
I’ve learned infinitely more in these live, hands-on trading sessions than I could have from some static book or video course. For me, the little snippets of hands-on knowledge picked up every day in these live sessions have compounded over time until lately I find myself almost unconsciously knowing when a trade lines up enough in the University of Options trading system to go in or, even more importantly, when to preserve capital and stay out of a trade!
If you attended a few live sessions, I think you’d feel that Dan really cares about making sure that every member is doing okay. He talks a lot about the technical stuff, and his system is pretty “on-point”, but he also spends a lot of time on mindset (spoiler alert – your mindset is the thing that contributes the most toward your success in trading). He doesn't HAVE to spend so much time on mindset but the fact that he does proves to me that he's out for more than a "quick buck".
But really, it all comes down to this; you probably shouldn’t base your trading future on what any one person, including me, says in a review. Wouldn’t it be better to form your own opinion one way or the other based on your own hands-on, real-world experience? Reach out to these guys and ask how you can attend some live sessions for free – that’s how I started. I think that then you’ll see for yourself that the value you get far and away exceeds any initial investment required.
Stay away! But I honestly wish the best for them, too many things going wrong at once
I honestly wish the best for them. I’m not sure where to even start. I will say of the many things wrong, Their system was entirely oversold and underperforming, and later on, it became something of which many of us not even imagined, it became political. I won’t give further details, but I will just say many of us are glad to be out. And for those whose money that UOO is not refunding, i truly pray that UOO is eventually one day successful. Theirs some great people part of the program.

Robot
I bought into their robot. for $4000. I put in $10k because they told me that "it wouldn't really work" with less. I swiftly lost half of it. Reached out over and over. Was gaslight often and told to just keep watching it. I was offered a "replicator" program for free but you guessed it, you must put up more money. You can only use it to get back money you lost, not including the $4k I paid for a scam. At any rate gold continued to declined until my account went to zero. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!!! I did every single thing they said. I lost $14,000 and they simply don't care. I am going to put reviews everywhere to save anyone from making this mistake.

Avoid this company at all costs
Avoid this company at all costs. I paid nearly $10,000 and was never given access to the material they promised. I tried in good faith for months to get a refund and was told it was too late. Very unprofessional company with little regard for their clients.

Dan is the man
I traded with Dan for nearly 2 years in the options trading room and can tell you first hand that he lives to trade! His company is awesome, he is always doing his best to improve things and is available way beyond what I expected. I think his insight and experience is unmatched. When you hear Dan's life story, how he came up, and who taught him, you will realize Dan's teaching is priceless. Very funny, great communicator and blessed with a genius mind. I promise he knows more than you about trading.
As for the the platforms, Dan's setup is super cool, you learn those in a week or so. You can ask even the most basic indicator or broker questions in the live room or to the group. Dan is the tutorial. He is sort of a geek squad type computer guy as well.
In the trading room and classes you will hear a stream of consciousness from Dan that will teach you all the terminology, reasoning, mindset and charting with value I can't imagine finding anywhere else. I could go on and on but lets just say, if you fail with Dan as your mentor it's all you.
I left the group last year during a big life change and have traded alone now with a great win rate. I owe it to Dan and his ability to inspire and teach, I am beyond hooked. There is not 1 person out there that knows more about live options scalping IMHO.
Thank you Dan for giving me the skills to trade solo daily. I do miss you all though! Lee included=)
(I saw a random bot review of Dan so I had to chime in as a past member)

I lost the Bot and money I invested in it, I don't recommend to use this company
I lost the Bot and my $10K investment they suggested to start the Bot with. This company has a poor customer's support, misleading instructions and lack of experienced tech support members.
1. It took them a week to start my Bot-they simply didn't have licenses- this was a response to my message questioning delay.
2. After 10 days or so Bot has finally started working with my $10K recommended investment, but didn't take any trades right away. I asked Tech Support why and the answer was "Bot has a warm up period". This was not what Sale rep Joel mentioned during our initial call. I particularly asked Joel when I can see Bot bringing profits and how soon and the he said " Right away"
3. After waiting for 2-3 weeks and seeing Bot has no any profits, but just negative trades - I gave up and decided to switch to Demo account, submitted the ticket. Vanessa from tech support reached out to me and ask the reason for switching instead of implementing the change. I said the reason for switching was Bot is very slow and not profitable. Instead of switching she suggested to increase lot sizes to aggressive level and 2-3 days after Bot went to heavy drawdown and collapsed.
4. In the very beginning I received a manual clearly stating 1:200 leverage accounts are recommended to use. After my Bot went to heavy drawdown and collapsed- I sent e-mails requesting refund for my purchase , after 5 days Joel finally called me and asked why I used 1:200 account? You see the issue, I hope.
I would not recommend to invest and lose your hard earned money into University Of Options Bots. There are much better products out there from more experienced Algo companies for sure. I'm currently using 5 different Bots from different companies and University Of Options Bot was the worst from them.

Unsung Hero
I read so many of these reviews before taking this leap into the world of options trading. There seemed to be endless raves about how positive the UOO experience has been for so many people! I could not agree more with what has been said about the entire program. The live trading is a masterclass in how to do this conservatively and correctly. Dan and Lee make you feel as though you have a mentor/partner on this journey. A price cannot be placed on their combined knowledge and years of experience.
However, for those of you who are still considering or new, I am here to make mention of another person. If you haven't met her yet, you will and you must! Debbie Farrer.
So, I came to UOO without a shred of understanding for the stock market or trading, much less options. I honestly didn't know what an "option" was. My brother had recently started the program and thought perhaps I'd find some interest in learning a skill that could potentially provide me with a little more financial independence. Fast forward- now I'm doing this, which again, was a huge leap for me. But I'm struggling. Really struggling. Despite the thorough videos and the step-by-step format of the modules, I was lost. Failure was not an option (no pun intended), but despite all that was available to me, I was too overwhelmed and embarrassed to reach out and get clarification. No matter how redundant or stupid my questions were, I knew I needed help if I was going to stick with it.
That's when I found out that I could have a one-on-one session to ask my questions and go through anything I was struggling with.
Debbie spent an hour talking and walking me through every single issue I was having. But more than that, she helped me understand how emotions play such a huge role in the success or failure of this venture. Both, while learning and later while trading. I was already allowing emotions- pride, shame, ego, whatever, get in the way of my learning. She gets that this can be intimidating for those of us who might just need a tiny bit more handholding than others. Not forever- but just until we have our epiphany, late as it may be. We all learn differently after all.
I know I am not the only one. And for anyone who is coming into this without a shred of experience but still wants to learn something completely new, you should know that there is someone who is dedicated to helping you find your rightful place.
Don't hesitate to spend an hour with Debbie in a one-on-one. She's warm and funny and totally puts you at ease. She makes learning fun and approachable with the ultimate goal of elevating you to the next level. I think the entire team is absolutely incredible. I just wanted to shed a light on this particular person because of what a difference she made for me.

Always going forward!
University of Options wants to help you make money. They trade live every morning and afternoon. It's not like they are just wanting you to sign up and leave it up to you to figure it out. Upon signing up the have over 30 modules for you to go through. They REALLY encourage, almost demand you go through each module and complete the course, just so you have an understanding of what's going on. That's what a true professional mentor with heart does. Dan and Lee are both well experienced traders and are both VERY successful. They really want EVERYONE to succeed. Dan is always looking for new ways to help the novice to the well seasoned trader make money in the market. Dan's system works, you just need to follow it diligently. Not only can you follow Dan and Lee into trades, they go over why it's good to go in or stay out. They really teach you how to trade. Dan and his whole team are so nice and helpful. I'm beyond happy!
Beware, someone falsely used my name!
I want to start off by saying that someone posted a bad review using my name. They did not share the last name, only my first name and my last name initial. It was posted as Steve G and the date of experience was May 25, but posted yesterday. This person used a false email and used my name. That said, I am a proud member of UOO and have been since 11/23. This is by far one of the best training programs available. Dan Rawitch is an outstanding trainer but more importantly, a person who cares about your success and has a big heart. Regarding the bots that this impersonator said, this is obviously a disgruntled individual who doesn't have the balls to state their real name. I have participated in the bots and will state that one of the bots did not perform as I expected, the other has done exceptionally well. I am extremely happy with my experience regarding the bots and would highly recommend speaking to Dan's team to learn more. Again, I cannot say enough great things regarding Dan Rawitch and the team at UOO. If you truly want to find a way out of the 9 to 5, speak to his team. It will be the best decision you make!

Innovative products
Innovative products. Cutting edge support. Live trade streaming. Full transparency with links to myfxbook.com. With my current schedule I find their "bot" trading vehicles absolutely fascinating. Their training courses are always evolving. In the initial stages they encourage paper trading. Their moto is "slow is fast." This is a class outfit.

I almost never write a review but I…
I almost never write a review but I thought people like me should know about this. I am getting close to retirement age and started investing in the stock market about 3 1/2 years ago, mostly options and some directional trades. I was flipping through Facebook and came across this guy talking about a bot making some insane returns and how he had set up a couple of these bots for his daughters. The fact that I am thinking about retirement, and I have two daughters that I would like to help, caused the ad to appealed to me. I made the appointment, talked to one of their team, nice guy, no pressure whatsoever, decided to sign up later that same day. Now, I’m skeptical, I’m old and patient. I decided to try it out with “paper money“ to see if it was worth putting real money into it. Plus, with a 30 day money back guarantee, if it didn’t work, I could always return it. At the time, I had a $50,000 CD making minuscule interest sitting in the bank. It has been sitting there for about 10 years. I decided that if I was going to do this, I would start out with that CD. So, I put in $50,000 of paper money and started with the Precision bot. I am no longer at the age that I like high risk so I set the bot to the moderate risk level. Three weeks later the bot had made more money on that $50,000 than I had made in the 10 years of interest that I had received on my CD in the bank (almost 5,000). I cashed out the CD, added more to it, purchased two more bots and took off. The results have been amazing. This thing got up to .25% per day (go amortize that over three years and see the result, insane). Then, like in any market, the price dropped dramatically one day due to some news. The team immediately sent out instructions suggesting that we turn off our bots and wait. I did exactly that but my account still took a 16% draw. That’s a pretty big hit. However, as I said before, I have been investing for a few years. Markets fluctuate and sometimes you take a big hit. It’s ok, you don’t panic, you watch the market and when the time is right, you get back in there and you can patiently make it back. I have done this multiple times in my investment experience. Well the awesome team gave the go ahead to turn the bots back on. Although my account was down, I have been there before. Sure enough, without any additional effort on my part, the bot did its job and my account is now back up to the original amount plus all of my profit. I am so please with these bots that I am going to put a substantial amount into each one with the idea of creating an extremely comfortable retirement income. My observations on these bots are that the team is there to help and they do an incredible job of supporting you any time you need them. Their guidance is timely and reassuring, since I can’t keep my eye on everything. But this is investing, the same as any investment. All of the same rules apply. It is going to have ups and downs. Assess your risk tolerance and stay within those parameters. DO NOT put money in any investment that you can not afford to lose. Be patient, weather the storms and in the end, I believe these bots are going to the best investment that I have made in years.

5 Star + experience.. Beyond expectations
I followed along with UOO as it was developing for quite some time. I had worked with Dan and knew if he was involved it was going to be something that would be worth being a part of at some point when the time aligned for me. In reality when I got inside the program I was blown away. What they have developed, the commmunity, coaches and teaching far exceeded my high expectations. If you do the work and approach it as learning an incredible life long skill you can get through the learning curve and really start to have an incredible business. I am beyond grateful and blessed to be part of the UOO community now and have several friends experiencing high levels of success. In addition the teaching on mindset and wisdom that is taught has raised my game in levels I didnt expect. Thanks Dan and the UOO team!! Absolute legends.
