Thank you GOAT Academy

Thank you GOAT Academy. Felix and, his team of mentors and the wider academy team have produced an excellent learning environment for something everyone should know.
I have learnt how to avoid all of my rookie errors, and now have the opportunity to refine my strategy for growing my wealth based on actual rules. Love the simplicity, and the extra video content that helps me underscore about the markets and trading psychology.
The live groups sessions and archived session videos are excellent resources. It’s just a really worthwhile thing to do.

I still lose on trades, but now know how to limit the downside, and now have a better looking and more diverse portfolio with more Upside than before. More practice will yield more good results. Thanks Felix and team.

Serious program for serious students

This is a fantastic program with massive amounts of resources to help you learn whatever it is you want to focus on. I have been blown away by the quality of the senior coaches and the access to them already makes the tuition worth it in my opinion. My CSM, Angelique is there for me anytime I need help with anything. My coaches, Jae Yu and Troy Russell, have been so patient in teaching me everything I wanted to learn in spite of my being a little clunky with technology. There are live trainings and video recordings on every subject so you can never run out of material. I made my year’s tuition back in a matter of weeks. I have almost 30 years of experience in the stock market and even was a stock broker for a minute in my 20s, and I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of all the information that’s available in this program. One thing I will say is that it takes a lot more time to complete all the work than they tell you initially. They told me 3-5 hours per week and I am easily spending 2-4 times that amount and am still feeling like I could be doing more. Regardless, if you are serious and willing to put the time in, it’s absolutely worth every penny and more.

An Alumni's journey into the noise

As a Goat Academy Alumni, I can say that my knowledge & investing skills are light years ahead of the void previous. I came to the Academy after falling for the silver frenzy of late 2025 and watching my investment crash 36% Jan 29th. Through the Academy I gained invaluable risk management tools, screening skills, calm discernment, portfolio tracking and management. I found all the coaches extremely patient, knowledgeable, experienced and the curriculum very digestible & easy to follow. I did not have the budget for the 1:1 coaching and was initially bummed but the small class sizes make it easy to interact & ask questions with coaches anyway. So I'm a different person and fishing for myself with an easier time deciphering signal from noise in this crazy era.

You will not regret making the decision to join.

I joined the Academy just over a week ago and with all such decisions I was somewhat nervous as to whether the actual course would live up to my expectations which were very high after researching it thoroughly. I am thrilled to say that everything about my interaction with programme, the student support and the coaches has been extremely professional. It is carefully structured in a way that allows you to become familiar with the plentiful resources and to begin to learn the world of successful trading at your own pace without becoming overwhelmed. You do need to make a financial investment to sign up to this programme but I am now convinced I have made the correct decision.

I would definitely recommend Felix…

I would definitely recommend Felix Academy. Whether you’re completely new to investing or already have some experience, it’s a great place to learn and develop your skills.

You also get access to several different coaches for 1-on-1 sessions, which I find extremely valuable. Having the opportunity to discuss ideas, ask questions, and learn directly from experienced coaches adds a lot of value to the overall experience.

Solid program and a fair value

I have been trading equities for around 15 years using statistical arbitrage techniques to trade fixed time ranges. Over this time, the market has gotten much more efficient, and the methods I have used have started to lose their edge. I decided it was time to become more acquainted with traditional stock trading methods, techniques, and philosophies. I chose GOAT to help me with this. GOAT starts from the ground floor and pays special attention to risk management. They have a structured program that thoroughly teaches you, step by step, how to survive in the market.
Quite a few people dream of making a living trading in the market, and I have always discouraged them from doing so. Active retail traders lose a lot of money. However, lately, when I talk with people who are interested in stock trading, I tell them to check out GOAT. The foundation you can build with this program is solid. I have learned a lot and was able to meet the goals that I set for myself.
GOAT have some excellent coaches, and if you are willing to engage, it will be a great experience. I especially enjoyed the classes that Jesus Rodriguez taught; they acted like a launching pad to get me to think beyond what was covered in the class. I also enjoyed the one-on-one meetings I had with the coaches. I met with a few of them, and they were all good. I especially enjoyed meeting with Frederic; he has some simple and effective frameworks and will also share more advanced techniques and frameworks.
For me, GOAT was a solid program and a fair value. I have recommended it to friends and people interested in the market.

It is You investing in You!!

It is a structured system that requires you to be patient and follow the roadmap, which is exactly what I needed. I have noticed it also has helped drown out the FOMO noise from social media etc which to be honest, was a big distraction and impedes you from progressing and learning.
The Goat Academy instills you with confidence, a true raw confidence that you are moving in the right direction. I am 1 month into it and I have personally developed more in that month than in the last 12 months of Youtube, X etc. Dont get me wrong, Youtube is very good for helping you but it is not built as a roadmap for you to follow. Thats where Goat Academy has given me that edge.
And remember, it's You investing in You! When was the last time you invested in yourself?

Outstanding training and customer service

From the moment I started the Goat Academy, my assigned customer success manager, Angelique, has made my experience seamless. I feel completely supported. She also recommended coaches that fit me specifically -- I am fortunate to be training regularly with Richard to become a quantitative trader based on Felix's approach. And I am loving Elliot's MarketMakers Edge for the discretionary portion of my portfolio. His very clear (and patient!) explanation of market-maker trading mechanics is helping to explain at least part of the baffling stock market reactions. Daniel H has enlightened me on longterm investing. Frederic and Patrick have also been very informative- I wish I had more time:) The tools and reports designed and written by Felix and his staff are really insightful and presented in a digestible format. Super excited about my remaining year of training!

Great course for beginner investors

I did the 6 month program with the GOAT academy, and they provide a very solid foundation on how to select good stocks, how to build the portfolio and good entry points and exit points that are based on specific rules that are easy to follow and relate to the industry standard. I had however been investing in stocks for 10+ years prior, so I felt like I already had the knowledge given in the entry level course, and maybe my expectation was wrong going into it. Because of this I requested the money back guarantee, and they honoured the request once all program steps were completed. I really appreciate how they recognized my situation and returned the money, provided I followed the program.
I would still recommend the course for beginners, and I will be looking into the more advanced program they offer for myself in the future.
My only remark would be regarding the intake meeting, where I feel I gave enough information of my background that perhaps the more advanced course could've been offered from the start. I also had issues joining most live sessions because of the timezone difference and my work schedule. Recordings are available, but it felt much better when I could join live and participate in the sessions.
In any case, I appreciate the GOAT academy for the experience, and recommend it for people who want to learn a good and structured way to invest in stocks.

My take on Goat Academy

There's a lot to get right in order to be a successful trader. This company is not about gimmicks. It's comprised of real, successful traders that truly care about their students' success. It's a lot of information to take in, but when you sort it out, you're in a much better place. Thank you!

Great start with Goat Academy

I recently started with Goat Academy, and so far so good. Support has been attentive and easy to reach, and getting set up as a beginner felt well supported rather than overwhelming. Early days, but a solid first impression.

Goat Academy Testimonial

Goat Academy Testimonial

I have been part of the Goat Academy trading course with Felix and his team since February. As a professional Wealth Manager with many years of investment experience, I came into the course with high expectations and wanted something that would genuinely add to my existing knowledge.

Thanks to Felix and his excellent team of mentors, including Dominic Graham, together with the fantastic support from Angelique and the wider back-office team, I have significantly accelerated my trading knowledge and, importantly, my confidence.

The course has helped me develop a much clearer understanding of when to buy, when to sell, how to manage risk and how to better understand my own risk tolerance as a trader. It has given me a more disciplined and structured approach to trading alongside the investment experience I already had.

I would highly recommend Goat Academy to anyone who takes their wealth seriously and genuinely wants to learn how to trade properly, manage risk and make more informed decisions.

A great team, a great learning experience, and one that I am very happy to recommend.

I can’t thank the GOAT Academy enough…

I can’t thank the GOAT Academy enough for all of the support and guidance that they have provided me with. Hannah B has been instrumental in in ensuring that I have been achieving my goals. I want to thank the incredible coaches Juri, Mark and BK for sharing their knowledge and their limitless patience. This isn’t about spoon feeding but if you’re here to work you’re in the right place. Would I do it again? Absolutely!

A flawless experience

A flawless experience that started with an introduction from Brian, followed by navigation and communication, detailing all aspects of the app and the journey ahead from the friendly, helpful and contactable Hannah ...its been a great experience being part of the goat acadamy. The different elements of the app are amazingly informative. The coaches dedication to help you succeed is incredible. First lesson for me was discipline which IMO is paramount.

Amazing program. So glad I signed up!

The Goat Academy is outstanding and I would highly recommend it for anybody who is new to trading or those currently trading who are looking to improve their knowledge and skills. As somebody who started out in finance many years ago I knew what I was looking for when it came to a trading course and I'm so glad that I chose Goat Acedemy. The team and the coaches are outstanding and the course has exceeded my expectations. Hannah, my Student Success Manager, is fantastic and has been a massive help with orientation and questions that I've had along the way. Thanks Hannah! Thanks also to Felix for creating such a fantastic course and for hiring such high quality coaches. Keep up the great work!

Taking My Trading Routine to the Next Level

I joined the academy after 2.5 years of active trading. I was already doing well, but I wanted that extra edge to build a truly structured process. The academy went well beyond my expectations.

Everything here is ultra-professional: clear daily market routines, regular macro updates, and comprehensive workshops covering all essential trading and investment topics. The coaches bring serious market experience while remaining approachable, sharp, and helpful. If you’re looking to build real discipline and consistency in your trading, I highly recommend!

Goat is a terrific investment in yourself

I have been in Goat Academy for quite a while now and have always enjoyed everything it has to offer. No matter what your trading/investing background, they have the tools to improve on your knowledge. They have some tremendous mentors that helped me a lot. Everyone seems to have their favorites, and mine are Carlos and Elliott. Carlos teaches in University and can teach options, stock/ETF selection, how to analyze financial statements, literally everything you could think of. He is also very gracious with his time and just loves teaching. Elliott is just absolutely fantastic in teaching how the markets work. Ever wonder why the market seems especially lousy or great on any particular day? Elliott can explain it in a way that you will not hear from media outlets and any other “gurus” that I have ever come across. You will have that deep dive into Gamma Flip levels, Call and Put Walls, Market Maker hedging using the Greeks Vanna and Charm, etc.. Don’t worry if you don’t understand any of what I just wrote, Goat will get you there. It is really special to see the information that Elliott provides before market open each day! You have a really great idea of market behavior each day. He is unlike anyone I have ever come across in trading/investing.
I have to give a shout out to customer support also. I was lucky enough to have Kyla early on and then later Angelique because I think Kyla went into a managerial role. Angelique is amazing … I think I sent her a message on a Sunday one time. She got back to me immediately, not the next day like I was expecting. I cannot overstate how much she has helped whenever I have had any issues. Goat Academy is certainly not cheap, but it is the best investment I have found.
