Worth Every Penny

They are a very trustworthy company with a lot of knowledge in the markets. i have learnt a lot while being with them and wish i had discovered them years ago. The support staff and coaches are all terrific people who know what they are talking about. They are always eager to help with any questions and very easily contactable. Worth every cent you spend.

Great education program

A few weeks into the program and it seems well organized and structured, focusing on teaching institutional based investment principles as a success foundation, supplemented with a broad set of training information. I can comment more as I progress through the program, but so far, I see a structured learning path on a great website, with lots of choices for individualized trainings in areas that may be important to me. Trainings are live, recorded, and archived for use when it fits my schedule (or for repeating as needed; important for me). Training includes things like broker selection/setup, finding sector strength/momentum, stock screening/selection tools, trade entry, trade exits, risk management, charting, candlesticks, market assessments, etc. (and more). I also chose an upgraded option offering individualized question/answer sessions (coaching) from a panel of industry experts with decades of experience. I’m not ready for the coaching part yet, but anticipate it will be a great benefit to augment the basic program. Another benefit is that everyone is assigned a Client Success Manager … a great asset so far (Thanks Hannah Bootes!). Seems to be a great education program from what I can see and have experienced so far.

Rules, Risk Management and Consistency as Path to Success

4 month ago I joined the Goat Academy with some background in stock investing, but I was not very successful. In hindsight it was a mess, to be honest. There was that growing urge in me either get a proper education about trading / investing or quit altogether.
As many other fellow students, I had watched Felix's videos on Youtube, and I liked the well digestable content. So, I decided to apply for the Goat Academy.
From the first day in the program, I was really glad about the well structured approach in order to learn the bits and pieces of the Wall Street Protocol (WSP). My Customer Success Manager onboarded me properly to do the basic things first and asked me to book a 1:1 call with a coach she suggested. Having a 1:1 call with a coach that you can ask all your "stupid" questions is really important because is builds accountabilty to improve and ask more intelligent questions next time ;-)
Consuming all the content of the WSP is one part but the crucial step is putting it into practice. That (at least for me) took a lot of effort, 1 hour per day is realistic.
The core of the WSP is about applying to rules (not very complicated but breaking them can become costly). Things like a proper screening process (finding trade opportunities), risk management (stay in the game) and exit strategies (when to take profit) need to be learned and applied consistently.
After 4 mounth in the program, my expectancy is about 0, that means on average I don't win nor loose money per trade. I hope that I can push that in the positive soon together with my experienced coach. Thank you Frederic :-)
To be fully honest: I experienced more losses than winners so far but I also learned by now that this is normal and I have to slowly adapt to it over time. If you loose 1% of you capital 5 times in a row, which is statistically possible, you should not get mentally hurt or break the rules. So be patient and trade small, you'll scale later with confidence ;-)
Mentioning trading (investing) capital: as the program is not really cheap one should be prepared to put at least some 10 K$ to work mid to long term.
Bottom line: be prepared to put some effort in, work with your coach and you'll be rewarded with decent skills to manage your money even under stressfull conditions as the WSP will guide you.

Initial call

Jeremy Moussa was very clear explaining the program, the required time and responsibilities from the alumni, he was very open to hear about me and my husband who joined the call; and helped us with the few questions we had.

5 Stars says it all!

I came here to learn and improve my knowledge and skills. They have delivered in just the first week. I have yet to come across anyone in this organization that I did not feel comfortable with. Very knowledgable. Very helpful. Organized and professional website and curriculum. You can take it slow at 3 hrs a week, or you can gobble it down, like I have. Live classes available 7 days a week. Private coaching. Recorded classes. Written material. Research material. Guidance at every turn. If you are serious about getting better at investing/trading, I highly recommend the Goat Academy.

1-1 sessions with the coaches are fantastic

I am really enjoying my time in the Goat academy, especially the 1-1 sessions with the coaches. Prior to joining I had no experience with trading, only long term investing in funds, this was no issue, they teach from the very basics. There are several live group sessions each day with different themes, there are also open Q&A. Where the program really shines is in the 1-1 sessions with the coaches (optional add-on), I would highly suggest going for the 1-1 package for anyone joining, without it I feel like it would have been a very different experience. They have many different coaches that has different trading styles and background, initially this was confusing as many does not trad according to the main method taught in the course, but eventually I learned to appreciate it as opportunity to learn for traders with different views. It is amazing to be able to learn form people who have so much experience.

Over delivering!

Everyone I have had contact with has been very easy to speak with, listens extremely well and actually cares.
All instructors I have been on calls with are very good teachers, explain well, and break everything into small understandable bits.
Could not be more satisfied. Truly excited each day to learn more.
GOAT Academy’s team and structure are building my skillset for me to be successful long term!

The GOAT Academy is a skill-building accelerator!

I am 3 weeks into this process and it has already surpassed my expectations. Being new to trading, I needed people to help me get oriented. Shout out to Ella (my CMS) for being so helpful in steering me in the right direction. She made sure I had every thing I needed and made some very good recommendations for matching me up with coaches. These folks are good at what they do and they are patient with us newbies. You definitely get out of it what you put into it. Do the work and it pays off. Glad to be a part of the GOAT Academy. Thanks Team

I have really enjoyed working with the Goat Adademy staff and coaching team.

I have really enjoyed working with the team at the Goat Academy. Angelique has been a fabulous customer service partner. She has been there anytime I had a question or needed help. This gives you a lot of peace of mind as a member, especially in this AI agent CSR world. The coaches are also both knowledgeable and helpful. I have enjoyed working with Troy, Mark, GC, Elliott, Jesus, Frederick, Carlos, and others. For someone beginning their trading journey, you can't go wrong, and I highly recommend the team and experience.

I was already a successful but newbie…

I was already a successful but newbie trader, and working with the Goat Academy coaches helped me up my game and achieve a 17% return in 2025. Trading is a lonely business, and having someone to discuss your trades with and to help you improve your skills was worth every penny. Most importantly to me, Felix is a man who means what he says, and there is a unique kindness to the way he helps his students succeed. I cannot recommend this program enough!

Outstanding Financial Education

The financial education you will receive here is first rate! I learned so much from the tutorials and the group sessions, but the highlight for me was the 1 to 1s with experienced, professional traders and investors. There is so much I could highlight, but probably the most important thing I learned was effective risk management. I'm now trading and investing with confidence. Thank you Felix and Goat Academy

I am deeply impressed

I am deeply impressed by the professionalism and standards of the Goat Academy..from signing on to the program all the way to receiving my refund at the end, there was good communication, respect and they honoured their word. Even though the program was not able to offer what I was looking for, and I tried to glean as much as I could, the team kept their promise of refunding the whole payment if I was not satisfied completely and had done all the required work. Kudos. I want to especially highlight my working together with my CSM Hannah Bootes. She is kind, patient, explained everything, even if I asked the same question more than once, and she has a huge amount of knowledge on many topics. Great experience, even though it was not what I was looking for.

The free call with a mentor is a hard sell with a closer

The YouTube lesson offered a free call with one of the trading mentors but its not. What happend is its a hard sell once you get on the call for a course costing 10000USD.
I agreed to try it for a week if they agreed to refund me if I wasn't happy and they did.

The selling style made me very suspicious of the company so I did not proceed.
I also had an issue with a trade vision payment but they investigated and I did get a refund. I have modified my star review as they took swift action to refund my account.
So my only issue is their hard sell, this offer is for today only type of thing.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for updating your review and for acknowledging that the TradeVision payment issue was investigated and resolved promptly.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the consultation call experience. While many students find value in speaking with our team to determine whether our education programs are a good fit, we understand that not everyone will feel comfortable with the style or pace of those conversations.

Our intention is never to pressure anyone into joining. We strive to provide prospective students with enough information to make an informed decision, and feedback like yours helps us continue improving that experience.

We’re glad we were able to quickly resolve the TradeVision issue and process your refund, and we genuinely appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Kind regards,

Felix

Delivers promise of minimizing risk and improving gains.

Good group sessions for learning basics and asking questions in a classroom like atmosphere. I found it a little unorganized when I first began but by the end I had a great experience. The Goat Academy often improved their communication and method of providing new information and new trading support tools while I attended. Stress was on having a trading plan and following that plan to maintain consistent good results in training. They provided a training roadmap to follow to learn how to screen for best stocks to buy, how to determine enter and exit criteria for trades, and in general, how to complete the roadmap within your time at the academy for best results. They have you submit a Weekly Accountability Form to track your progress that provides a two-way feedback loop regarding your progress. A Plus is the academy has many coaches and in the group sessions, often two or more coaches are in the session. This provides multiple views from different experiences. Different coaches have different experiences which I found invaluable. Personally, I found the sessions on stock screening using finviz by coach Carlos and his Screening Scrape Book very good. They also had sessions on how to use various tools like Thinkorswim and Tradevision, which helped learn how to use those and other tools. I got the most out of sessions with coach Jae on using TradingView to screen stocks, learn what the charts are telling the investor, and how to set up alerts on a stock when it meets your criteria to buy. Overall, a good experience. Going in I had many years trading experiences as an individual investor but, struggled to maintain profits. I ended my training knowing how to minimize risk of my individual trades while increasing the gains from my trades. My trades are far more profitable now. For me, a successful experience. One last note for those wondering about the cost (remember, each person's experience will be different based on many factors like how much you have to invest to begin, how well you adhere to the lessons, and how well you follow your trading plan); I easily tripled my admission fee.
