When you sign up for service with Aptive you are quoted a price per service and a quarterly treatment frequency. After the first year or Aptive starts coming out to your residence 5 or 6 times per year without asking permission to do so and billing you for 5 or 6 services instead of the agreed on 4. Aptive ends up increasing their revenue by 25 to 50% by treating at a frequency in excess of the frequency the consumer agreed to without ever informing/getting customer permission to do so. I think they just hope you won't notice. They are doing this across their customer base based on other complaints I have come across. Sounds like a Wells Fargo type class action suit is warranted.

I make about 50 option trades a week. I try to earn about 12% a year with relatively little risk. Most of the time I own less than 300K of equities (excluding some high dividend income stock that I tend to hold onto) in a 2 million dollar portfolio. The balance stays in cash that backs cash covered puts. I have to "cash cover" the puts I sell because the 2 million is in IRAs and when you sell a put in an IRA it has to be cash covered. Most of the options I trade expire in 30 days or less. Most often I trade short puts because it suits my objectives. I purchased the software for about 2K, although I should of done more research. I was quite busy around the time the I purchased the software (traveling, grandkids, new house), and the 30 day return period expired. My bad, but no big deal although I don't like to lose money. I am always looking to automate some of the things I do manually and that is why I purchased the software in the first place. I spend about 20 hours a week trading to achieve my ends. The software is worthless. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is because if you know nothing about trading options you might learn something by watching his videos. The guy knows how to trade options but the software he developed to help automate the process is worthless and if you are a newbie you won't figure it out until the return period expires. I imagine they know that. If what I described above is Greek to you, definitely don't buy the software. I tried to create a jpeg of a portion of the credit card statement I used to buy the software (in late june of 2021) and upload but I was un-successful. If you want to trade options start out with cash covered puts or covered calls and only trade one option contract per underlying security might be a good way to learn. Good luck trading.
