Great customer service

Just started with Target Trading Academy and the support has been great. Randall has gone out of his way when I have had difficulty with charts, and customer service is very responsive. Looking forward to progressing through their system.

The Military School of Trading

Retired Military, brother-in-law referred me.
I am very impressed! Founders have ton of knowledge and experience. They take their system and their classes seriously! Huge on disciplined trading. They will not hold back in their feedback. Reminds me of military training. Direct, sometimes harsh, but the truth, to help you improve. The instructors are very helpful and devoted. Everything is learned in Simulation (Real market - Sim money). They hold people accountable for making good trades and understanding the market before they allow you to trade live money.
Note: Their course material can be overwhelming and a little frustrating at first, because they actually teach you the market. Just ask a lot of questions and be patient. It picks up pace quickly once you get past the initial learning curve.

Well worth the price of admission!!

While I am still very early on in the process, what I've learned so far has been amazing. This is no fly by night organization, but an organized team, teaching a winning method. I learned early on that discipline is the key, and if you follow what they teach you'll find success. While I'm still trading in a simulated account at the moment, my win rate has been astounding since I really caught on and put the effort in. This whole process has been the most interesting thing I've done in years. Wish I would have found these guys years ago. Special thanks to Randall in the "Ramp Up Room" for teaching a complete novice how to trade futures.

The best futures trading education company!

I started with zero experience, and have never done any sort of trading before enrolling. I never even heard of futures trading until Fall of 2020. There's so many frauds online, but I'm glad I got it right the first time joining Target Trading Academy. This program is perfect for beginners looking to learn futures trading, and want to dramatically improve their work and life balance. I went from not knowing how to read a trading chart to now knowing what to look for before executing a trade properly. These instructors are black belts at what they do. We are taught to trade what's in front of us, and most importantly risk management. They will answer every question you have, provide valuable information on what to look for, and coach you on your mistakes. If you would like a glimpse check out their YouTube channel where they post videos showing proof of method. All of the students' trades are posted (SIM and live) alongside other videos. Pat, Preston, Randall, Jason and staff are genuine, sincere and transparent in helping you become a successful trader. This truly is a life changing experience and can't thank them enough. Best investment I ever made was enrolling with Target Trading Academy.

I started out a complete beginner that was skeptical about joining another training course and wasting my money on something that doesn't work. I decided to give Target Trading Academy a chance and have not regretted the decision. Target Trading Academy has been there to cut through any confusion I might have faced and provide the knowledge and tools I need to be a successful trader. It has been invaluable in my learning to be able to log in and see other student's trades being submitted and reviewed. I joined about 12 months ago and am continually reminded about what an incredible experience this last year has been.

I have recently joined the Target trading Trading team and I am still going through my first 100 trades. I have been involved in the trading world for many years and up to now I have not run across a program like Target Trading. Trading is difficult but the coaching and advise that is offered is exceptional Especially in the Ramp Up Room. In this room the instructor not only takes his time to teach the system but he also makes a point to share his experiences about trading and that how important it is to "Make a Plan and Trade Plan". Stay disciplined. In this class it also has recommended reading material " The Disciplined Trader" great read. Thank you Randell for taking the time to coach and teach.

Best I've ever seen!

I've been bouncing around for years from one group claiming to be able to teach me to trade to another. Always with depressing results.

These people are EXCELLENT! They check up on you periodically to see how you're doing and if you need any extra help - the method they teach is straightforward and basic with a clearly defined set of rules - and their method works!!!

I started with Patrick's trading room - steady, gradual education. I'm very impatient - but I followed the instructions and lessons and I'm amazed at my results.

Every day I see all my trades and the trades of others. You'd be amazed by how much the winning trades outnumber the losing trades.

You can finally quit your day job!

This Team Will Stay With You For The Long Haul

I had the honor of trading with Patrick Assalone some years back, but life happened, and I had to stop trading for a while. When I came back, he was more than supportive! This team just wants you to learn to be profitable while trading as prudently as possible. When my grandsons are older, I'll encourage them to trade with this group. I'm so glad to be back!

I am sorry to hear that was your experience. That is not how we train our people, and it is not acceptable behavior from our staff. This is Patrick, one of the owners, and I would like to get to the bottom of this and resolve it. We would like to identify who the person was you spoke with so this can be addressed immediately. Please contact me at Pat@targettradingacademy.com to remedy your situation and ensure that this doesn't happen to someone else.

Drawing HVA's and much more

This is the best trading method that I have ever been involved in, and I have been involved in quite a few.
I cannot say enough about Pat's HVA class. Drawing the HVA's is the very least you will get from this. By learning to draw them yourself, you become keenly aware of resistance/support areas. Anyone who wishes to be a better trader should take this course,

Rare and wonderful treatment

Inasmuch asi I want to talk about having made money - I can’t at this point. What I will talk about is something most money oriented companies seemingly have no idea about; people.
When I signed up for this training some time ago. I started watching the videos and doing the online coursework. I was excited and started watching the markets aside from this and seeing how much and what I could make.
Then, a family member dies and named me executor. About the same time I had had a kidney transplant so I had a world of things all went wrong at the same time.
Add to that I have a “difficult” family all happening during COVID.

I had so much on my plate and I just could not do the things I needed to do to study, handle personal and family affairs.

Called up and talked to a couple of people there and they put my account on hold. Now that things are under control and in maintenance mode I really look forward to restarting.

These folks could have just let my account expire - but they didn’t and the actually cared about what I was going through!!!!

I can't say enough about the education…

I can't say enough about the education I've learned and continue to learn with Target Trading Academy. This may be one of a few reviews I write as I continue my education.
I've talked about wanting to day trade for over a decade but never dived in. I thought... I get it, but it's too late for me. To start new and have to go to school and work my way up a big institution, so much work and I felt I didn't have the time.
A friend of mine started posting about trading Futures on his social media and I knew nothing about it... never even really heard of it. Weeks later I asked about it, and he introduced me to Target Trading Academy.
I'm going on a little over three months in my education, and couldn't be happier with my decision. Truly life changing.
From the beginning with Randall teaching the foundation of Patrick and Dans methods, to the live market rooms with Patrick and Prestons instruction, you couldn't ask for a better way to learn. They're teaching you on every aspect of trading Futures daily.
From reading charts, to recognizing indicators and patterns, to how to manage your money, the list goes on. You're in live trading classrooms and are there learning not just from your success and failures, but from the other students attending as well. It's honestly the first time I've enjoyed being in class. I work long nights and sleep little, but waking up and starting my day with this is exciting and I'm eager to learn more.
Target Trading Academy for me, is a step to a better financial freedom and quality of life. Whatever the reason you may want to learn and do Futures Trading, you will not be disappointed with choosing this academy!

Learn to be a professional trader

I started with Target Trading Academy 12 months ago with zero trading background. I am still learning a lot but by implementing the practices that they teach I am executing winning trades. There system works and is real world for future trades unlike a lot of systems. All the instructors are knowledgeable and always willing to teach me where I made mistakes on the losing trades that I have executed. They are in the business of making there students into professional traders and that is there number 1 goal. I cant wait for the upcoming Trading Seminar in Austin to keep learning on my path to being a professional trader. Thanks to everyone at Target Trading Academy for all the support.

Best Mentors available in this business

Couple of Days back, I made $100+ on one trade. This was possible for me, by using the lessons we practice day in and day out here. These lessons are : 1) Dan O Brien's algorithmic based indicators and Bot and 2) Patrick Assalone's Market Profile based HVA's. The advantage of use Dan and Patrick's based lessons are 1) 98% of the time you enter a trade at the right place / time and we can exit the trade when Market starts changing directions. 2) 2% of the time, we do not make money, but again, there lessons are so good, that we exit the bad trade with very minimul money lost. I do not enter or initiate a trade unless I am sure, I am going to make money and the best part is both the instructors also place / teach their trades / methods live and are available 24*7 for you to ask them any questions. Overall, we have the best Mentors available in this business here( you are in good hands)..

I have learned from Target Trading academy unique professional futures training including market context, foundation of trades to how to use automation to make big bucks reliably.

I have learned as a Target Trading Academy student, from Patrick Assalone, the step-by step learning of trades and context of the trades and foundation information which allows you to move to become a professional trader. The AI programs: CARNAC, ORACLE, Lightening bolt trading on Ninja, are so reliable and consistent that I can trade large numbers of contracts, fewer trades, fewer exposures and draws and made big bucks every day. Why would you pay for anything else but the best, Target Trading Academy. There are so many frauds out there, that are claiming to make you a winner all in one swoop. Don’t be misled.
I have tried so much junk before I found Target Trading Academy training. The junk stuff from people who want so bad to be ‘right’ are peddling, their channels, Elliott waves, Fibonacci and other loser, big risk, big draw, none of it sustainable and consistently make the bucks like Target trading Academy students get.

Way of the Turtle

This is the disciplined and rigorous approach to trading I have been looking for. If you are familiar with "The Way of the Turtle" (Curtis Faith) - it's a bit like that; straightforward rules and money management strategies taught by master traders in a non-condescending way such that even those of us with little or no futures experience can pick it up. They invite you to submit 100 simulated trades for review followed by two courses in money management before giving you the green light to trade in a live account. These are no "rubber stamp" reviews either! Randall gives me almost instant feedback on any questions and the "First 100" simulated trades by email, phone and video conferencing with screen sharing. The campus library consists of scores and scores of high-quality videos, and is supplemented with almost daily webinars and access to live trading rooms. Greatly exceeded my expectations.
