When I first joined Goat Academy

When I first joined Goat Academy, I was very excited at the thoughts of learning some investment strategies that would help me understand the financial freedom that I had heard Felix rave about so often on the YouTube videos. My first several weeks on the Goat Academy site were like a roller coaster. Sometimes, I would understand parts of the videos and other times I was completely lost. Even the basic terminology was unfamiliar to me and I realized I
was in over my head. It seemed like everyone understood the lessons except me. I didn’t even know what questions to ask during the group learning events.
One day, I saw a newly formatted website with the heading “Road map.” I was once again hopeful that I could persevere and push through. When I restarted the basic videos, I was surprised at what I had already picked up along the way but also concerned that my time was running out and I still did not know the basics of investing. The redesign of the website was very helpful and then I realized I had someone who could walk this journey beside me. Her name is Vanda. She had reached out previously but I did not understand how she could help me. I didn’t even understand most of the investing language much less what questions to ask about my current struggles. Finally, I had a zoom meeting with her. I explained my big picture situation, that I wanted to learn and continue in the program but just didn’t know how to pick up and move forward. I had felt very alone in my journey to this point and didn’t know how to evaluate my situation and restart at a more effective pace and with more specific direction. I was delighted at Vanda’s ability to meet me where I was. She carefully listened to all the details and seemed too quickly understand my situation. I felt heard, respected and valued as a student at the Goat Academy. She guided me to appropriate resources that have been very helpful in getting me back on track. Shout out to Troy who also quickly helped me understand there was still hope for me. Vanda’s genuine concern for my success and wellbeing has made a tremendous impact on my learning journey. Thank you Vanda for your support and helping me get plugged back in to the Goat Academy. Your knowledge, kindness and encouragement is greatly appreciated!
Thank you Felix for your genuine concern for others. It is hard to find people like you who want to share their vast knowledge and continue to grow themselves in often difficult but fulfilling situations. I love your Youtube videos packed with information, humor and heartfelt commitment to serving others. Thank you for seeking out support staff Like Vanda, Troy and Elliott.
Warm regards,
Janine

This academy provides classes about investing, and stock, options and crypto trading.

This academy provides classes about trading, investing, technical analysis and risk management. In addition to the video-recorded classes, there are daily zoom calls that provide daily, current market and sector analysis. I've been following the markets for decades and this academy filled in the blank spots of my knowledge so that I could put it all together and finally make money. I have also gained confidence now that I have a solid financial plan that fits my personality. I was nervous with the purchase price but just after a couple of months I feel that it is well worth it.

An excellent platform with great coaches

An excellent platform offering a wealth of useful knowledge, countless training courses, videos, live sessions and, above all, excellent coaches for one-to-one sessions, as well as fantastic, personalised support. I’m impressed.
I’ve been working as an options trader for many years. The opportunity to consult with the experienced coaches, whom I meet twice a week, is therefore particularly valuable.

Very highly recommend

Very highly recommend! If you’re on the fence about joining, get off the fence and join and you will be very grateful later. The on boarding team, the coaches, the one on one sessions and the overall support are phenomenally good. I joined on May 19, 2026, and with the tools, coaching and support I’m already showing a positive return… And that was tabulated the day the market went down! Again, very highly recommend because this program is worth its weight in gold!!

Excellent with one caveat

Over the past 3 months, I have been able to 5x my rate of return under the tutelage of the coaches. My tuition for the Goat Academy has been the greatest investment I've made for my finances, and I would recommend it to anyone very serious about learning the market. I would not recommend skipping out on the coaching. Although Goat Academy has been an excellent investment for me, I have several issues with the quality, quantity, and organization of the recorded content. I believe this could be dramatically improved and easily multiply the course's educational value. Despite this, I have found radical success and do not think this weakness warrants a lower rating. If you are willing to set aside a couple of hundred hours to learn, the Goat Academy is the best place I have found to do so.

A life-changing course

A life-changing course! I started with absolutely no trading experience, and now I have a clear understanding of what I'm looking at on the charts and how to approach the markets with confidence.
The course provides a wealth of valuable information, and the support from the entire team has been exceptional. My CSM, Hannah, has been incredibly helpful, always providing guidance, answering questions.
All of the coaches I've interacted with have been knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed .
I would especially wanted to thank Jea Yu coach for all the knowledge he shared with me that you cannot find anywhere!
I highly recommend Goat Academy to anyone looking to learn trading in a structured and supportive environment.

The Goat Academy develop financial life skills

The Goat Academy has many educational programs from beginner basics to advance strategies. I was looking for better tools and knowledge around option trading and the Goat Academy has provided it. Over the last 6months the overall program has been re-organized and is much more user friendly. Their new CSM (Customer Service Team) has really improved the student experience.

The knowledgable instructors and community website truly enhance your experience in learning investing and trading. I've been through the whole program over the last 2 years and I'm still increasing my knowledge set.

Felix, Elliott, Angelique, and team are sincerely helping the students develop financial life skills.

Simple Theory, for Soild Results

The theory is simple and the course work in itself is not a code to decipher. I think the greatest value comes from the time allowed to apply the knowledge and hearing from multiple advisors and mentors within the Goat Academy.

I chose to include a couple of one on one calls a week with members of the Goat Academy team. repetitively trading over the duration of the course no matter your chosen level of risk when investing, exercising learned ways to filter and select potential stocks, becomes muscle memory.

I will say the one on one calls i really appreciate like a yoga class that gets me into the gym…😅😜. personally feeling accountable to show up. LUV yah Carlos Arias (Coach) & My Big Breezy Brew Mark Putrino (Coach).

USING THE POWWGGRRR OF A PLAN; Has given me better consistent results. There is a lot more structure within the course that is helped understood and guided by a Client Success Manager. I'm sure my own contact, Hannah Bootes 🫵😅👌, would love to see me more consistent with my log work to help with my progress. My consistent gains do give her confidence and as with all I have interacted with from the educational team in the Goat Academy, always ready to help shape your own strategies based on logical processes.

This is the one!

I reviewed several stock training programs and took a gamble on this one. I'm so glad I did! This is the one! I've been in the program for two months and I've learned so much. I've learned more in two months than I would have on my own in two years! The program is well structured and I really need that type of structure to keep me on target. All the teachers/trainers/coaches that I've learned from so far have been great (Elliott, Byung, Jesus, Matt, Guillermo, Patrick, Carlos, Daniel, Agustin). And my customer representative (Hannah) stays in touch with me to make sure I'm making progress and addresses any issues I have. They're wonderful people! You have to do the work and do it consistently but all the tools and teachers are there. Don't waste time! Take advantage!

OK, Wow!

OK, WOW — where do I even begin?
This program has delivered so much more than I ever anticipated. One of my favorite parts is listening to the new students during our “Onboarding Q&A with a CSM for New Students.” So many of them say almost the exact same thing I did after my first couple of meetings: “This feels so overwhelming — the amount of information is like I’m drowning in it — but it all makes sense.” I always smile when I hear that, because I remember my own CSM encouraging me that if I stuck with the plan, everything would eventually come together.
The first major benefit for me was stopping the financial bleeding. I was doing exactly what Felix had warned about — picking a winning trade, watching it go up, and then riding it all the way back down. The Goat Academy brings together a diverse group of excellent trainers who teach practical concepts and tools covering everything from stock selection and risk management to protecting profits and, most importantly, trading psychology.
They help you avoid common costly mistakes, like trying to catch a falling knife (buying more as a stock drops), or revenge trading after a loss. In today’s world, it’s easy to get sold a “bag of magic beans” on social media and jump into trades with blind conviction. This program teaches you how to do proper due diligence instead.
To be clear, the Goat Academy won’t just hand you a winning list of stocks to bet on. They won’t tell you where to place your roulette wheel bet at the casino. What they do provide is professional-level insight, better decision-making frameworks, appropriate tools, and proven ways to manage and limit your risk.
One of the most enjoyable aspects for me has been the community. The interaction between coaches and students is genuinely encouraging and supportive. I was especially inspired watching one of the coaches build a Stock Trading Log program with AI. Even though it didn’t work perfectly for me at first, that experience motivated me to work with the same AI agent myself. Through persistent effort, we solved the issues, and now I can successfully import my Fidelity data and generate meaningful statistics.
That success gave me the confidence to start building my own stock screener — something I never would have attempted before. It’s been a fun and eye-opening project.
Before joining, I took a heavy loss on a silver play. While I’m still bullish on precious metals long-term, I’ve since rebalanced my portfolio with better allocation between mining stocks and other assets. I want to benefit from the rebound, but I refuse to risk another devastating drawdown. As the saying goes: “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”
Thanks to the Goat Academy, I am not only recovering but am now able to see a path to significant returns and moving well beyond where I started.
Thank you, Goat Academy.

Amazing Journey

I've been working in the Wall Street Protocol program from the Goat Academy for ~5 months now. My knowledge of the market and how stocks work has grown tremendously. Working with the coaches and delving into the depth of available content has been highly educational. And Felix continues to add tools and content regularly. It's been a fun journey!

I joined GOAT Academy about two months…

I joined GOAT Academy about two months ago after following Felix on YouTube for roughly three months. To be honest, I was skeptical at first because it was a significant investment. I also come from the coaching and mentoring world in another investment industry (multifamily real estate), and over the years I’ve found that many companies simply do not deliver on the promises they make.

I can genuinely say that GOAT Academy has exceeded my expectations. They do not just give 100%, they give 110%, and I have been extremely impressed with the overall experience.

The program provides a tremendous amount of value through extensive training modules, 5 to 10 live Zoom trainings each week (with recordings available if you miss them), and highly knowledgeable coaches who truly care about your progress and learning. You can tell they have a genuine vested interest in helping members succeed rather than simply selling a program.

On top of that, their customer support has been outstanding. I've had the pleasure of working with Ella, and she has been there supporting me every step of the way since day one. That level of service has been refreshing and has really stood out to me.

If you're looking to shorten your learning curve, gain clarity, and learn from a team that genuinely wants to see you succeed, I would highly recommend GOAT Academy.

Initial and follow up call with Jeremy Moussa: Goat Academy

Jeremy clearly explained all aspects of the trading program and mentorship offered by Goat Academy. He was very professional, positive, and easily answered all of my inquiries. He was patient enough and willing to entertain a second sales call with me in order for me to consider my decision. I greatly appreciate that!

Eladio and I had a 15 minute one on one call. It was enought time to generally go over his methodoloco and how he what kind of options he trades. Since I do options trading, it was interesting for me to get his insight. He is very knowledgeable and willing to help with trading skills.

I signed up for the Goat Academy with the Wall Street Protocol. Fantastic education in investing and managing my own portfolio.
I immediately learned how to buy stocks with a stop loss to get out and minimize losses. I had been a buy and hold investor with some moderate success. Felix clear instructions of investing without getting emotionally attached to stocks sparked my interest. Im starting out better than I was a few months ago. Thanks .

Join Goat Academy and Expand Your Financial Knowledge


After losing 15% in my IRA account in April of 2025 after the tariff announcement, I knew I needed financial help on how to manage my assets. I found Felix’s videos on YouTube and decided to take a leap of faith and joined his Wall Street Protocol (WSP) program. I completed this 6 month program, took a break, and went back to enroll in the Options 2.0 program. I’m not going to lie and say I made a million dollars or that it was easy but I did recoup my losses and was able to increase my two grandson’s custodial accounts by a combined 70% from my initial investment. This time, when the Iran war broke out and the market took an initial hit, I was able to remain calm and protect my capital. This was due to the guidance and support I received from the Academy’s skillful coaches. For me trust is the number one criteria when dealing with an organization concerning financial matters. Goat Academy(GA) fosters that trust from the top of GA down to the community members it supports. If I can learn about becoming a better retail investor at age 73 as well as being “technically challenged”, then you can too. Goat Academy is worth the price of admission and provides peace of mind.
