Jesus is very knowledgeable in more than the basics of share trading. I have been able to discuss with him how to get an extra edge for entries using extra strategies, the pros and cons of day versus longer term trading and compare various trading platforms for trading functions. he has been very helpful for my decision making.

If you need help with from true mentors who break topics down which at first, can be a lot!

An incredible amount of information provided daily for members which is very detailed and trustworthy.
The help from administration is just so helpful. Usually instantly getting help when needed because at first there’s so much information to absorb, however there’s always someone there to get your back. Couldn’t be happier with the education and course material.

Angela and the Goat Academy are the Best

Angela was assigned as my CSM, Client Success Manager, and has been instrumental in guiding me through what has been the most intense, and most mature online course I’ve taken.
GOAT Academy is the real thing.
I’ve been in IT and a network engineer since 1995. This system of applications, videos, and instructors, are top notch. If I have a question, it gets answered within an hour. The live training sessions are put on by those with real world experience. I’ve been part of the community for 5 months, and I can comfortably say, if anyone is serious about understanding their money and how the market and financial systems operate, this is the place.
Angela, as I’m sure each of the GOAT members are, has been an exceptional guide to this complex subject. The courses are modular and well designed, but there is so much information, a guide is essential.
I have an IEEE degree and consider myself highly educated, and have no qualms in saying this is a graduate level program.
I committed to a full year of this program. I’m almost halfway through, and can confidently see the patterns, understand my risk and profit, and comfortably operate my brokerage account. My P&L% has gone from +0.04% to +34.5%. And it’s repeatable, because I’m using rules, not emotions.
Best education money I ever spent! My life has been changed for the better. And it’s because this community is about more than making money. It’s about how to keep it, and what big institutions do with it. A true eye opener

Excellent Education and Outstanding Support

Goat Academy has been a great investment in my trading education. Like any stock trading course, you have to be willing to put in the time and effort, but if you do, there's a tremendous amount to learn. I picked up so many strategies, tactics, and ways of thinking about the market that I never would have considered on my own.

One of the best parts of the program was my Customer Success Manager, Hannah. She was always quick to answer my questions, provided helpful guidance, and even connected me with other members who helped me develop a trading system that fits my daily work schedule.

Overall, I really enjoyed the course and the community. If you're willing to stay consistent, ask questions, and put in the work, Goat Academy provides the education and support to help you build a trading system that works for you. Highly recommended!

Felix & Friends at the GOAT Academy

I came across a random YouTube video in January 2026 of a "professor" looking character named Felix Prehn. His enthusiasm, his humor, his explanations of the financial markets all struck home. I signed up for a Saturday session, and then followed up with a live call with Peter. My wife and I then signed up for some schooling with the GOAT Academy and we really haven't looked back since. It truly is an accelerated learning curve, you have access to experienced traders and investors, with decades of experience. They teach the Wall Street Protocol, and help you understand how to manage your risk, protect your portfolio, and when to take profit... Follow The Money! Angelique was assigned as our CSM and has been there for me when I needed assistance. Brett, Jesus, Carlos, Elliot, and Matt have been excellent coaches and guides through the learning process, the live group sessions, and the one-on-one coaching, and of course Felix and Winston. I was financially illiterate at the end of 2025, and in my mid-50's with no retirement plan. Now, July 2026, we have a plan, we have a goal, we did something extreme most people don't have the conviction for, we sold our dream home, and have created some capital, and now it's time to invest wisely, follow the smart money, and apply the simple, unemotional, boring rules that allow you to sleep at night. Thank you all at the GOAT Academy, best regards Nik & Cat

The GOAT Academy


Greetings. While Felix is out front sharing his vast knowledge about all things Wall Street, there is actually WAY more going on here behind the scenes. An entire team, designed to teach you not only how the Stock Market works as a whole, but also to help you acquire a set of skills that are necessary if you want to control your own money. Placing you on a path to understanding something as dynamic as the global economy, is only one of the goals. The GOAT Academy isn't just a few classes. It is more like an entire University focused on teaching you how to understand complicated market concepts that will benefit you the rest of your life.They will also help you learn how to avoid doing foolish things that can lead to mistakes and regret. If you trust TrustPilot for reviews, then you should certainly Trust the GOAT Academy to help you master your financial future. Having participated in this program myself, there can be no doubt that this team of World Class Market Professionals, each with their own special analytical skills, created this program purley to help hard working people like you and me become financially self-reliant. Your next investment should be into your future. Trust me. You won't regret it.

Market Experience and Navigation

When I first started out, I usually just invested in whatever was in the headlines. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't because I didn't realize how much time a market thesis actually takes to play out.

I remember my first win with an AI cloud computing opportunity and I thought I was a genius. Then I invested in hype tech opportunities just to see it all go down from a correction. I exited at a loss just to see everything bounce right back. The thesis and demand was there but my skills were not.

At one point, it felt like I was just shooting darts blindly and hoping for a win. Joining Goat Academy really helped me clear up a lot of core concepts and get comfortable with the theory of trading psychology.

The academy builds a stable foundation for its students. The team genuinely listens to feedback and continuously updates the program to make everything easier to navigate. The coaches are incredibly grounded and they consistently validate our thesis and/or steer us back on track when our analysis is a bit off. There is still so much to learn and I am definitely a more capable and knowledgeable in trading than I was before.

General Thoughts

The care and attention the team give for a remote platform is great.
The update to the academy modules and the roadmap made my understanding was outstanding. The content has allowed me to start to understand the concepts at a deeper level.
I have been working with the junior coaches and their patience has been great.

Goat Academy Review

I am pleased to provide this letter of reference for Goat Academy and, in particular, Angelique, whose outstanding customer service deserves special recognition.

From my experience, Goat Academy has demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to providing excellent service. Angelique has been especially impressive. She has consistently been courteous, knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to every detail. Her ability to communicate clearly, follow through promptly, and make the customer feel valued reflects very well on both her and Goat Academy.

Angelique goes beyond simply answering questions or addressing concerns. She takes ownership of the customer experience and makes sure that matters are handled properly and efficiently. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and willingness to help make a meaningful difference.

Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Goat Academy. Angelique is a tremendous representative of the organization, and her outstanding customer service is a credit to the company.

Highly recommend

I joined the academy after watching Felix on his YouTube channel. I started implementing what I learnt there and noticed it made a difference in the way I approached trading. I hesitated at first to join, but eventually took the leap and signed up. It has helped immensely in the way I look at the market, how to best position yourself and manage your risk. That’s the huge one, managing risk. I’ve taken my previous negative portfolio and made it into a positive one.
My client success manager has been incredibly helpful and if I ever felt stuck on a particular issue or topic she would point me in the right direction. All the coaches I have spoken with are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and willing to help with whatever you feel you need.
Can’t recommend it enough

A disciplined framework that teaches you how not to lose

The hardest part of trading isn't learning new steps; it’s letting go of old habits. The GOAT Academy has a clear, proven process, and for those who can take it and run with it, the path is right there. But for others like myself, it is slow going. Learning to completely trust the process and stick strictly to the rules takes time.

Through it all, the academy’s structure supports a deliberate pace. The daily live sessions offer constant exposure to the mechanics, and the 1:1 coaching is useful for asking targeted questions, sharing progress, and getting personal tips.

Ultimately, you will learn how not to lose in the process of trading by learning the strict rules of the game. What you do with that foundation is entirely up to the student. If you want a program that gives you the space, the tools, and the high-touch support to build true market discipline, I highly recommend it.

The support from Hannah Bootes in the Goat Academy has been very good. Working with them has been a good experience. Felix is awesome and a really concerned investment professional. He has alot of knowledge and is willing to share it with us amateurs. The Goat Academy has many opportunities to learn many different aspects of trading. It is not a daytrading strategy.

A Learning Experience Like No Other

James and the entire GOAT Academy team have truly elevated financial education.

Having completed several online educational platforms, I can confidently say none have matched the thoroughness, depth, and level of support offered here.

The team is consistently there for you — responsive, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to resolve questions or challenges.
The curriculum is clearly structured, complemented by live sessions on current market topics as well as in-depth lessons that allow for a deeper understanding of the material.

I would especially like to thank James for his outstanding support and guidance throughout my learning journey.

I am truly grateful to be part of this community and to learn from Felix Prehn and his team.

Recommend for any trader

Making money in good times is easy - everyone is genius.

This program enabled me to learn how to make money in bad times, when there is blood in the streets... Developing proper risk management model, screening and technical expertise, macro level understanding, building proper psycology, consistency and not doing FOMO, and lots of other highly important issues enable me to beat the key benchmarks. Great instructors, experts of the field! My only regret is joining to this program quite late.

And special thanks to Vanda - Client Success Manager, who helped me to nagivate through the challenging processes and steps with ease.

Investment Journey

My investment journey has been rocky oh a good day. The Goat Academy is taking me awhile to figure out because there's a lot to learn. It's giving me the tools to finally be in control of my investments instead of hoping or guessing. I still have a lot to learn but today way a good session with Dominic. Thanks everyone at the Goat Academy.

The whole group of folks have been great. Supportive, informative, and flexible. My main contact has been Ella 'Bella'. She's smart and friendly and seems to always gets the answers. Ella has guided me through the program and platform... Five Stars all the way. Also, the NYC event was fun - it was good to meet the Felix, the coaches, and team.

Real with deliverables to be used way beyond course timeline

This is a real program that utilizes a sincere and robust pedagogical approach for building up those who want to interact smartly with the market.

It is not a program where some dude is trying to make some money off of unsuspecting customers.

Coaches are available in group calls. The lessons buttress the knowledge and operational base for someone eager to learn intelligent, organized trading. Working? Watch the recorded calls later.

The time put in is critical. I have been in the program for 6 months, have learned a lot and have easily paid for the program fee. I have elected to remain with it for another 12 months to solidify my foundation.

** CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS OUTSTANDING **
