TradeSmith review: Predictive alpha including portfolio purchased last week

October 24, 2025

On October 15, 2025, I paid $2,500 to Trade Smith for access to their Predictive AI Alpha system and Super AI Portfolio. The service was marketed as ideal for short-term trades and especially beneficial for seniors. According to their promotional materials, the system would harness the power of artificial intelligence to deliver superior trade recommendations. They claimed that, backed by 20 years of market experience and their proprietary AI-based algorithm, Predictive Alpha Options would provide an unprecedented edge in investing.

I understood that the service was non-refundable and that I could switch to one of their other offerings if dissatisfied. Had the system lived up to its promises, I would have accepted that.

However, once the portfolio was posted, I purchased the five recommended stocks. All were in the red on day one—and none have recovered since. As an experienced trader, I typically analyze charts and fundamentals before making any investment. I would not have chosen these stocks on my own. But given the $2,500 price tag, I trusted that their recommendations were based on solid insight.

To my surprise and disappointment, every stock has continued to decline. Even today, October 24th, when the broader market surged, all five remain in the red. I’ve never seen anything like this in my years of trading.

I have retained all of their video materials if needed. Based on this experience, I have no confidence in their system and believe the service failed to deliver on its core promises.

I am requesting a full refund and will be contacting TradeSmith directly on Monday.
