Questions
The Insiders Pro Plan: your questions answered
Ten straight answers — what $199 buys, how it differs from the cheaper levels tool, who Desi is, how the daily levels are actually made, and whether you should start with the $29.99 product instead.
What do you get for $199 a month?
Daily live trading sessions with real-time screen sharing — you see every entry, every exit and the exact P&L as the trade happens, plus intra-day market commentary and actionable trade ideas. The listing frames its own philosophy directly: the community is built to teach you how to trade, not to have you follow blindly.
Is the Pro Plan the same as My LVLS on Your Chart?
No — two separate products from the same community, easy to confuse. My LVLS on Your Chart ($29.99/month) is a standalone indicator that pushes hand-drawn key levels to your TradingView or ThinkorSwim chart every morning. The Insiders Pro Plan ($199/month) is live mentorship — daily sessions where you watch Desi trade in real time.
Several reviewers only mention the levels tool, thanking Desi for the daily key levels specifically, which suggests plenty of members use the cheaper product on its own without ever joining the Pro Plan.
What is the Desi in the reviews — is that Vincent Desiano?
Yes. Vincent Desiano goes by Desi in the community and in the reviews, which almost universally thank him by that name rather than his full one. He is listed as the creator of both products, based in Cape Coral, US, and the listing credits him with over ten years of technical analysis experience.
How are the daily levels actually made?
The listing is specific about this: levels are hand-drawn each morning before market open and pushed live, so what appears on your chart reflects the exact levels being actively traded that day rather than a static indicator running the same formula regardless of conditions. The description explicitly states these are not AI- or computer-generated.
Core symbols — NQ, ES, SPY, QQQ, SMH, IWM — are covered every day, with 10 to 15 additional equities added based on the setups that morning. Zones also update live during the session: if price breaks below a demand zone, it flips to acting as resistance, and flips back if reclaimed. ThinkorSwim support is currently limited to NQ, ES, SPY and QQQ, with TradingView getting the fuller feature set.
Is the payment recurring, and can I cancel?
Yes, both products are recurring subscriptions billed through Whop, and the Pro Plan's own FAQ confirms membership can be cancelled at any time. Check the listing's refund policy before you subscribe — the terms are set by the community, not by Whop, and we are not going to restate them here in case they change.
Will I be successful?
Notably, this is a question the Pro Plan's own FAQ asks itself — which is a more honest framing than most listings attempt. There is no guaranteed answer, and there cannot be one. Options and futures are leveraged, fast-moving instruments, and watching a mentor trade live does not transfer their account size, risk tolerance or years of screen time to you.
What the format does offer is unusually high transparency — you see the exact entries, exits and P&L as they happen, which lets you judge the process in real time rather than trusting a recap after the fact.
Why do so many reviews just say "thanks Desi"?
Because a large share of the 710 reviews sit on the levels product rather than the Pro Plan, and members using a daily tool tend to leave short, grateful notes rather than long essays. That is a pattern worth knowing rather than a criticism — the shorter reviews still confirm people keep using the product month after month, several noting they have followed the watchlist or YouTube channel for a while before or after subscribing.
Which one should I start with — the levels or the Pro Plan?
Unless you specifically want live mentorship and real-time screen sharing, start with My LVLS on Your Chart at $29.99 a month. It is a sixth of the Pro Plan's price, several reviewers credit it directly, and it tells you within a few weeks whether Desi's technical approach matches how you already read charts.
If that clicks and you specifically want to watch trades executed live with commentary, the Pro Plan at $199 a month is the next step — not the first one.
Is this the official Options Insider site?
No. joinoptionsinsider.com is an independent, unofficial review site written by an affiliate. We do not work for Vincent Desiano or The Options Insider, we have never spoken to him, and he has no say in what appears here. The official listing is on Whop, and our links to it are affiliate links that earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
How should I judge this before paying $199?
Start with the cheaper product. My LVLS on Your Chart at $29.99 a month gives you a direct read on whether Desi's technical approach — the hand-drawn zones, the live flipping logic — actually improves your own chart reading. Several members mention watching his YouTube and watchlist for weeks before it, as they put it, finally clicked.
Only once that foundation makes sense does the jump to $199 for live mentorship become a reasonable next step rather than a leap of faith.
Before anything else. Options and futures are leveraged, fast-moving instruments. An option can expire completely worthless — a total loss of the premium — and futures can lose more than your initial margin on an adverse move. Published data on retail derivatives accounts has repeatedly shown most of them lose money. Watching a mentor trade live does not transfer their account size, risk tolerance or years of screen time to you. Nothing here is financial advice. Only trade money you could lose in full.
