So much professional help is available to students!

I was on an on-boarding call (I am at the very beginning of the program…A rookie ) the other day and I was so impressed with the hugely professional organization of the entire program. I was amazed. No stone is left unturned. There is so much help available to students at all levels and 24/7 that I simply cannot see anybody failing at this endeavor (assuming they applied themselves).
I have no doubt that I will definitely be getting a valuable education - and my moneys worth - out of this program. ❤️

An Exceptional Learning and Investing Experience

This is my second course with GOAT Academy in the past three years. I was already extremely satisfied with my first experience, but I have to say that what I’m experiencing this second time around has been truly exceptional.

The quality of the coaching, follow-ups, support, and education is outstanding. There is an entire team behind GOAT Academy, and everyone I’ve interacted with has been fantastic.

A special mention goes to Angelique, who provides incredible service and is always extremely quick to respond to questions and help whenever needed. Thank you as well to Troy, my coach, for his guidance and support.

And most importantly, a huge thank you to Felix for creating this academy and for the incredible amount of energy and effort he puts into his daily and weekly videos. I genuinely look forward to watching them and learning from him. His approach to investing really resonates with me, his teachings work, and I love his investment philosophy. He has also managed to make the whole process of learning and investing genuinely enjoyable.

We had the opportunity to meet Felix in person in New York this past June, and he was incredibly generous with his time. What impressed me most was that the Felix you meet in person is exactly the Felix you see in his videos: authentic, generous, passionate, and extremely intelligent.

GOAT Academy has become part of my everyday life, and I continue to learn from the team on a daily basis.

Thank you, Felix, Angelique, Troy, and the entire GOAT Academy team for everything you do. It has been an exceptional experience, and I’m very grateful to be part of it.

You Get What You Put In

Really love that you are able to schedule 1:1 coaching calls with a variety of mentors with different skill sets and processes that have proved successful for them.

There is a lot of content that you can consume and learn from on their platform as well as some great internal tools and introductions to external tools.

If you are going to sign up for this course make sure 1) you can actually afford it and have enough money in the market to make your money back at a realistic return rate 2) that you have 5 hours a week, ideally 10+ hours a week to spend on the market to make the most of it

It can be overwhelming with all that is offered on the platform but if you can be consistent, focused, and actually get reps in I think this is one of the best courses you can do. Most courses are absolute scams.

As a student - Its paid off Monetarily and Non-Monetarily

As a student in this program (halfway thru my purchased course), one of the things I appreciate most is that it feels like I’m actually being taught a good number of processes and point of views, strategies, and rules rather than simply being handed generic information and expected to figure it out on my own.

As a 60 yr old retired and disabled veteran, I WILL be honest and admit that the course can get quite comprehensive and it is and its academy software is well structured. I especially appreciate having nearly 30 seasoned, experienced coaches from all walks across the financial sector and the globe who not only explain the material but help students understand how and why to apply it and what not to do. They will not give any financial advice or lean that way, it is entirely a training course for us to learn how to drink the water or fish for ourselves so we don't starve or forget what we were taught (Lord help me... its not easy, but it has already been worth it in my previous long term trades. This is coming from someone who genuinely wants to learn, who knows very little... whose "WINGED" it in the market for about 5 yrs by throwing darts and hope they land right. Now, I am and did already learn a tremendous amount of information and 1on1 education here. Shout out to Jesus', Matt with two Ts, Carlos, Troy, Mike, and so many others I have already met in my weekly 1on1s.

NOTE: I can work my own hours, watch live or recorded videos whenever I want. I love them both because each one seems to tweak my understanding and confidence more and more.

I also appreciate love having my own Student Success Manager, Melissa B, who like the other SSMs is nearly faster than a speeding bullet in replying to, responding to my issues, concerns and suggestions from my weekly reports I submit about my learning likes/dislikes. Having the structure of the curriculum and supporting materials is priceless. Just in the past 3 months I have noticed tons of changes to the websites and apps; some of which I recommended through my SSM.

Again, there is a lot to learn, and it definitely requires time, effort, practice, and personal commitment. I don’t necessarily consider that a negative thing. I also do not expect them to teach me everything there is to know about financials and trading types, ways, indications, expectations, and theories, calculations, and formulas to be an expert in my first year. Learning a skill properly takes work, and I would rather have a program that challenges me to understand what I’m doing than one that promises an easy shortcut.

What has been most valuable to me is that I am gradually developing a more organized and disciplined way of approaching the subject and my goals in understanding, confidently entering and exiting potentials for a better chance to have a risk level kept and a reward level proud of.

Also, Instead of me simply trying to remember individual lessons, I’m beginning to understand how the different pieces strategies, what to look for and what to and how to risk fit together, and how to develop a repeatable process.

Sure, so I’m still a student, I'm writing this now (half way through) because I am learning, I am still learning, but of course, I can’t say where this journey will ultimately take me. What I can say is that the investment has already begun paying off for me—both monetarily and non-monetarily—in my hobbies, business, and continued studies.

Beyond the financial benefits, I’ve gained knowledge, confidence, and a better understanding of how to approach things that I simply didn’t have when I started. I’ve found the education, coaching, structure, and resources to be extremely valuable, and I continue to find new ways to apply what I’m learning.

For anyone considering this program, my advice is simple: be prepared to invest your time, ask questions, take advantage of the resources available to you, and most importantly, do the work. The program can provide the education, coaching, and tools, but you still have to put them to use.

If you’re willing to make that commitment, there is a tremendous amount here to learn from—and, in my experience, the value can extend well beyond the course itself.

To YOUR SUCCESS... YES, I wrote this.. Damn proud of writing ALL OF this because ALL of this in the course has been worth the time, cost, and hours I devoted thus far.

May you and yours experience the same.
GODSPEED to ALL.....

Great learning platform

I've been with the program for about two months and have learned quite a bit already. I would recommend this program to anyone that is serious about learning a new skill. The platform is very organized and flows well. Note: It does take quite a bit of energy and time to get full benefit.

I recommend the Goat Academy program

I’m 59 years old and have been a student of the Goat Academy’s Wall Street Protocol program for the past six months and just extended my program to make it a full year.

I came to the program as a long-term investor in mega cap stocks and with the drop in their valuations between January and February of this year I realized I needed formal knowledge and not just continue to follow the trends that I heard through the financial media.

I feel with this program, you get out what you put into it.

Fortunately, not only are there plenty of tools and resources, but I’ve also appreciated the support I’ve received from everyone I’ve reached out to, in particular my Student Success Manager, Hannah Bootes, who has always been very responsive, resourceful and I feel has helped me get extra value from the program.

I would recommend this program for anyone who’s looking to gain more formal knowledge in investing and/or trading.

Anastasiia is very responsive and supportive when I reach out with questions about the program. There is a lot of content and she is always available to guide me and provide me with additional information to minimize my overwhelm. In this recent call she immediately sent links to coaching sessions that specifically address the concepts I’m working on, and saved me a lot of time, since I did not have to sort thru the coaching recordings to find my topic. I’m fortunate to have her as my mentor, and I’m grateful for her patient demeanor and compassionate understanding.

My journey with Goat Academy begins!

My journey with Goat Academy began today with an alignment call with Jeremy that was very positive in a personable sort of way that left me feeling confident about the course and the quality of the people involved. I am looking forward to working with and learning from Felix and Friends!

I wouldn't have been able to progress as fast and as far as I have so far without Goat Academy's tutelage. Many thanks and Mucho kudos to everyone at the academy. Esp to Felix and Winston for sharing their indispensable wisdom, though pricey as it may be. Time will only tell whether it's worth the $$$$ that I paid when I signed up. I hope it is! Also thanks and kudos to Hannah my Student Success Mgr.

Phenomenal Coaches - Opportunity Awaits

4/5 rating. That last star is dependent on you and the market. You need to be agile, consistent, and honest. The market needs to behave enough for you to practice trading it unless you are ready to learn options, then you can take bearish positions.

I entered the academy as a beginner, and with the help of the coaches, I now have a system that finds trades, manages them, and review them with the same criteria.

I had difficulty identifying my trading style ("momentum" vs "contrarian") and that caused friction within my rules and subsequently with my emotions. Advice I would give myself: (1) Start with one coach’s proven end-to-end system (no need to reinvent the wheel); (2) run your system daily so you can "fail fast;" (3) figure out your trading style and favorite coaches early and reduce “noise” from perspectives you don’t know yet how to incorporate into your system; (4) as emotions arise, attend more live classes, especially the Q&A. Coaches will repeat the same things and as you recognize them be encouraged that you are beginning to think more like them. Once you have this foundation, you can build confidence and confidence is what you need to scale your account.

One Month in and I´m on a steep

One Month in and I´m on a steep, detailed and clear learning curve.
I´m receiving fast and accurate admin support and encouragement from my assigned Success Manager, who has the experience to guide students like me through the Goat Academy Success Roadmap.
The coaching is very detailed and clear.
You can ask any coach anything at any time.
All group coaching sessions (presented by Professional Trader) are recorded , this is very useful if you can´t watch at a particular time also, you can rewind and learn at your own pace.
If you really want to learn how to Invest like a Professional, from Professionals, join the Goat Academy..it´s worth every penny!

GOAT Academy is real: real training, real people, real community

After 3 months as a member, I highly recommend GOAT Academy. This group delivers its stated purpose - education and training for investing and trading. What Felix states in his videos and free trainings is true, the GOAT Academy coaches are trading professionals but are not going to do the work for you. They are available to help you every step of the learning and investing/trading process. They are not going to give you a quick fix or some secret formula for investing/trading (because there isn't one). You will be assigned a specialist for general GOAT Academy platform help, spend time learning, testing your strategy, talking to coaches, revising your approach, not just implementing an approach that works for someone else. This is a real group, with real coaches and real training. You will get as much out of this program as you put into it.

I Highly Recommend this program!

I greatly appreciated the knowledge and experience of Felix and his mentors. Ella Flanagan was an excellent facilitator to the overall experience. I truly valued what I gained from the Goat Academy and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their knowledge base and skillset in understanding the market. Thank you all!

Great course

Great course, but I wish I could have had more time

I took this course over the summer, and looking back, that wasn't the best time for me. With holidays and a busy schedule, I didn't manage to take as many lessons as I planned, and I feel I missed out on a lot of the material. That's on my timing, not on the course itself.

On the positive side, the site has improved a lot since I started. The recent redesign makes it much more motivating to work through each step, and it's now easier and more enjoyable to follow the lessons in order.

My one suggestion would be to offer a way to extend or pause a membership. I'd happily have extended mine until the end of the year to catch up on what I missed. An option like that would help learners whose plans change, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would use it.

Overall, the course content is valuable and the platform keeps getting better. I'd recommend it, especially if you can start at a time when you can give it regular attention.

One month in - Beneficial program

I'm one month into the program. My Student Success Manager (SSM) has been very helpful.
I believe that the programme is definitely worth it. I'm positive I will recover my investment in it many times over if I put in the time and use the resources to develop the habits necessary to protect my capital and make productive investments.

I must admit that my time at GOAT…

I must admit that my time at GOAT Academy has come to an end, and it’s bittersweet.

The coaches were incredibly kind and welcoming, answering any question, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. They’re all a wonderful group of gentlemen with diverse strengths and kind personalities.

The hardest part is saying goodbye to all the ‘Mighty Boys’ (my affectionate nickname for the amazing coaches) and my incredibly lovely, intelligent, intuitive, insightful, and caring Student Success Manager, Hannah Bootes. After spending my time at GOAT Academy with so many wonderful and skilled people who taught me valuable investing insights, I’ve realized that my student success manager, Hannah Bootes, was the cornerstone of my incredible experience.

Hannah was an exceptional manager. She was bright, cheerful, supportive, intuitive, and went above and beyond for me throughout my mentorship. To my utter surprise, she was completely present and supportive during the unexpected personal challenges I faced. She truly went the extra mile for me on multiple levels. What a gift she is!

Thank you, Goat Academy, for creating an exceptional platform for learning. As promised, I feel that I have not only gained a broader understanding of trading but also more confidence in my financial decision-making and skills.

Kindly and sincerely, with my warmest wishes to everyone at GOAT Academy.
