About Goat Academy by Felix Prehn

Written by the company

After working as a lawyer and an investment banker at one of the biggest law firms and banks in London, Hong Kong, Felix Prehn got tired of the aimless corporate grind that forced him to prioritise his work over his health and relationships.

So Felix Prehn turned to running his own business, but even still he was a glorified employee who had to show up in order to get paid. He turned to trading when he was hospitalised because of a back injury that came from chronic stress and overwork, but the worst part was that it would’ve cost $50,000 to operate on… Money he didn’t have at the time. At that point, his income was completely cut off because he couldn’t punch in the hours to get paid, yet his bills continued to climb.

Having no choice, Felix used his network and experience as an investment banker to learn how to trade from his hospital bed so he could at least make a side income to pay his bills. Before he knew it, within 10 months he had completely replaced his business income (and his previous corporate salary) with the income that came from his trades. So instead of having to wake up early, clock in, and get paid based on the amount of hours he worked… Felix was finally able to wake up feeling like every day was a weekend, have full control of his schedule, and make a comfortable income working a fraction of the hours he did as a lawyer and banker.

In 2020, Felix and his adopted Golden Retriever, Winston, started a YouTube channel called Felix and Friends to educate people struggling because of job loss, hour cuts, and income losses because of the pandemic to create an extra stream of income through trading for a few hours a week

Since then, he’s grown the channel to over 100,000 subscribers and has taught over 9000 students inside of GOAT Academy with his team of ex investment bankers how they can create more freedom, provide better for their families, and live life on their terms by replacing their 40-60 hour work weeks as corporate employees for becoming their own boss and “working” part time hours.

Today, Felix aims to provide real financial education that schools and universities have never provided to over 1 million people so they can stop getting taken advantage of by the corporate and banking systems, and instead, take back control of their time and finances to become better sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, and community leaders.

Investing education

I am very thankful for Felix's guidance. He provides useful and up to date information about market situation. I am thankful for investing rules education. His work gives me the courage to make my first baby steps in investing.

On first use TERRIBLE

On first use, downloads failed. My network is solid not on my end ! Where is this coming from ?
My password that I created at the start never worked again !
I have been asking for a rest for 3 days ! NO RESPONSE !
How a bout a full refund for the course ?
Or fix the issues !
Not sure I understand the game they are running. Even a request for calls have been flakey. Call at weird hours. Call back not answered. Texts to reschedule not working.

Great advice and knowledge

Great advice and knowledge

A steady increase in profits from following the daily posts by Felix. I appreciate that many people have no experience and for them, more detailed training will be beneficial.

Felix got me back into trading after losing money on CFDs. Buying and selling shares is very different, apart from anything else, you own something that will probably rise in value with the market.

Importantly, I now have a plan for retirement.

Thank you Felix.

Goat Academy Testimonial

Goat Academy Testimonial

“Hi, my name is Paul, and today I wanted to share my experience working with Felix and his team…''
When I retired 3 years ago July 2022 after carefully planning our fixed income from a few pensions and social security and diversifying some assets for emergency funds I thought 💭 I was ready to manage my 401K rollover.
It has been an up 🆙 and down roller coaster 🎢 ride of emotions to say the least.
Then in the summer of 2024, I came across one ☝️ of Felix’s videos and he seemed to be a bit different from some of the other ones I would watch to help guide my trading decisions. He kept mentioning risk management and capital preservation along with his three rules for investing along with checking out his free master class and after a few months of hearing this over and over again I decided to check it out and get the free WSP Checklist download and go from there. I’m just scratching the surface here but the bottom line is I am very happy 😃 I decided to officially join the Goat 🐐 Academy and my family is too.

"What was your biggest problem before working with us?"
My biggest problem was I didn't have the correct mindset or skills for investing. I was relying on too many different ways to invest and I needed to get out of that type of thinking 🤔 and find something better with more structure.

"What has been your biggest 'aha' moment since working with us?

I believe my first "aha" moment was putting a stop loss on my 1st trade immediately after my purchase and the feeling of knowing exactly how much risk ($200) at the time had brought me so much peace for the first time since investing over 25 years ago. I even smiled after the stop loss was triggered 2 days later because the loss was only (0.0007%) of my portfolio value at the time. I created a catch phrase "Stop Loss is Boss" to constantly remind me to never have a trade without it..

"What specific results have you achieved?"

I've gleaned so much from the coaches and instructional videos that I see more clearly how to make better trading decisions and preserve my capital. These past 3 1/2 months have been challenging times to say the least for the uneducated retail investors like me but it also has been the best of times for me to be learning and applying the WSP steps and rules to keep me and my portfolio in check.

"What was the critical element in our service that made the difference?"

I would consider everything the Academy has made available for us from Tradevision to the instructional videos and the morning zoom meetings just to name a few to being very critical in my past three plus months here.

"How has this affected your personal life?"

It has improved my peace level immensely now that I am applying these protocols and these steps and rules into the investing portion of my life. I hope to capitalize on this more in my portfolio value for 2025 without the tums for the tummy kind of investing like I have in the past.

"What would you say to someone who's on the fence about working with us?"

I was on the fence for about 6 months before I finally joined. I watched many of Felix's youtube videos and was trying to do it on my own but I knew in my heart that I needed to to take the next step and invest in myself and downloaded the free WSP Checklist and Workbook. After that I threw some "skin" in the game and got some one-on-one coaching to kickstart me in the right direction for a better 2025. Felix and the coaches love to teach & share their skillful experiences with us and I am glad I took the plunge. I'll never regret this moment for the rest of my life.

To borrow a quote from W. Clement Stone "You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by trying" and Zig Ziglar "When you do the right things in the right way you have nothing to lose because you have nothing to fear"...tbc

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

"Master Class" = 78 minutes of marketing fluff, and 12 minutes of advice.

After sitting though 1:22, this is what I obtained. “I retired at age 39, I own a bunch of businesses.” The tuition is an unobtainable (sorry, we can't tell you) amount between $1,000 > $9,999. The three rules: 1) Follow a company’s ROI and cash flow. 2) Buy when stock rises above 150-day moving average and 3) Sell when the stock breaks, “a little below,” the 150-day moving average.

Many attendees asked: “How to track ROI and Cash? Eventually an attendee posted ROIC.AI, however this only tracks historic ROI/Cash on a year-to-year basis.

Since I knew about the 150-day MA, I’ll not be a buyer of the course. Best of luck to you who do. Out of 90-minutes, about 12 were about "the rules". The rest was "buy my class." YMMV.

Try reading up on "momentum investing."

Note: I have received very useful info at his youtube sessions, much more than the "master class."

In response to Mr. Phren's response: I am not frustrated, not at all, my portfolio is up 12%. I sold D-wave at $10.50 more than a double, and the same day put that into Oceana Gold. Essentially a stop-loss into a class that I liked which had momentum. Seriously, out of 90 minutes all you said is: "Buy when above 150MA and sell a "bit below," 150MA. What's really funny is you accidentally (on one of your videos, had just bought Skeena, (or intended to buy) and put it up on your screen, then dumped it rather than explain why it's attractive, perhaps you don't want competition? Skeena's a dynamic training tool, why did you not use it? My conclusion is you are simply a marketer. Based upon reviews here you do NOT refund, not ever. And what sort of rubbish is, "a 4-digit price." A secret price? Huh?

That's like bars with no prices on the drinks, most often that results in an "OMG." You ride the wave of emotions of those who's portfolios are down 10 > 20%. Do not advertise that you will tell me that in one hour you will impart so much knowledge when you spend 78 minutes marketing and a mere 12 advising. 300+ times you were asked, "how do I find cash (ROI) + earnings," and all they got was that one website that only gives past, ANNUAL ROI + cash flow. You say that 90% are beginners and yet don't even really explain what a "stop loss" is. And you don't answer questions, in 5 minutes you could answer how/where to determine quarterly ROI/Cash flows and so on, did you, nope.

I do enjoy your daily youtubes, I have learned from them, but your promise to me, to teach me a lot in one hour IMO, was not at all true. I was sorely disappointed with the hour and a half, and there you have it.

GOAT academy brings clarity to stocks

The coaches at GOAT academy are fantastic. Primarily as calm voices in the storm. I had a lot of unlearning to do upon joining GOAT. I definitely took some losses over the past few months but that was mostly due to a combination of unwinding positions I was in prior to joining this community, rather volatile market conditions and learning to master the technicals of software. Merging my “normal” life with what I have come to as a new career has also been challenging as all new jobs are. I have had to learn how to be a trader rather than an “investor”. Filtering the noise of news media and “experts” has been the most challenging and rewarding. I love the agnostic approach taught by the coaches and learning to master the charts has been game changing. It has been like having a Crystal ball at times.

Review of first program

The information is presented clearly, helpful and foundational, as it is designed to be. The short duration of segments is probably good for folks with a short time available or short attention spans. But you have the option of working straight through, if it suits you better

Goat Academy & TradeVision

I’m very happy and satisfied with Goat Academy's coaching program. I love their teaching style—having access to past learning activities allows me to review lessons at my own pace, and their live training sessions (like General Q&A, Risk Management, Options Trading, and much more) are incredibly valuable. The coaches are not only knowledgeable but also responsive, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their students’ success.
Thanks to Goat Academy and their trading platform, TradeVision, I’ve been able to minimize my losses and start investing in quality stocks and ETFs. It has truly transformed my investing approach. I’ve shifted from being driven by FOMO to becoming a smarter, more rational investor. Goat Academy + TradeVision—it's been a game-changer!

Amazing Experience. I should have joined two years ago when I found Felix on Youtube.

Amazing Experience. I should have joined two years ago when I found Felix on Youtube. It would've saved my thousands of dollars in risky retail trading, and soooooo much stress and anxiety. The Info is divided into Videos, Group zooms and 1 on 1 coaching. This is the formula to success in any environment. I went from lucky stressed out retail investor to even keeled, relaxed profitable professional trader. The community members are encouraging and helpful and besides highly experienced, coaches go above and beyond!

Experience with GOAT Academy / WSP

Upon entering the GOAT Academy / Wallstreet Protocol, existing literature becomes available. Group sessions are lead by numerous coaches with trading experience. Students can ask questions ranging from strategy, to risk management, and individual stock analysis. One on one coaching is an option as well via calendar requests. As an inexperienced trader, the literature explaining risk management and position size was critical to protecting my portfolio. The program continues to grow as tools are developed and procedures evolve.

Not what was promised

Not what was promised. Webinars and meetings getting canceled and the courses are VERY light on material. Not worth the exorbitant price. Also, after signing up no response to any of my emails. Seems like a cash grab to me.

No value.... one long sales pitch...

Took part in a "Free" Webinar 12 April 2025 with Felix Nicolas Prehn.
In the 2 hours it took, he spends 1 hour 45 min talking about himself and doing a boring long sales pitch about Goatacademy and Tradevision, ending up with a VERY quickly run through "the 3 rules" that is far far away from "Master Class" level that was promised....i can only say.....stay away....not worth your time...
The 3600 people attending quickly dropped as people got angry about the "sales pitch" and what was promissed. The chat moderator startet to delete a lot of the comments .... heavely censured chat....not a good experience....

In response:
I have followed you on youtube for a while, and beleive you can provide something positive and give good data, but it has become more and more about sales pitches for Tradevision and Goatacademy.
I think you would have far more succes keeping the sales pitch to a minimum...and focus on giving good data in a honest way...
Your webinar would have been a much better experience if you had not overpromissed and been honest in your title...
"Masterclass" indicates a far more advanced level....a true title would perhaps been something like "participate in a sales presentation for Tradevision and Goatacademy and I'll teach you a important trade indikator, you need to know as a new investor"....all the best...and maybe if your youtube channel change tback to the essence of dayly updates on the market, i would join up again

My call with Jesús today helped me integrating and sinking in many concepts and techniques that I have learned since joining the academy over a month ago. This experience has increased my confidence traveling this journey on towards financial freedom despite the turbulent market.
