In options trading, students learn what options are, how to trade calls and puts, and explore core concepts such as theta and delta while using simulated environments to apply lessons safely. Futures education covers what futures contracts are, how to trade futures responsibly, and how to interpret trading hours and platform features. Forex instruction helps learners understand what forex trading is, how the forex market operates, and how to use tools like position-size and profit calculators.

The level of instruction and commitment to on going support is what sets Trading Academy apart. There is no reason to buy an black box program, when for less money you can learn it for yourself and recieve "lifetime learning upgrades". I am thankful for all I have learned by my years with TA.

Strategic Investor brings it all into focus
Strategic Investor with Scot Stokes has brought the whole financial management picture into focus for me and has helped build my confidence to manage my portfolio on my own with a better rate of return then I was getting from a broker. Highly recommend Core Strategy, Strategic Investor and the Options classes.

This weeks strategic investor class with Scot stokes was a great experience. I learned a lot about how to set up different types of retirement strategies. Along with how to manage them in positive ways instead of letting your retirement plan just sit. There’s many ways to grow a retirement account effectively and earn larger gains on your own. Scot Stokes is an awesome instructor and I am grateful to learn from someone with his knowledge and experience!

As a retired person, I appreciated learning about the investment choices and how they operate such as IRAs and annuities, and how to find resources to manage them to find the best results for carefully maintained financial success.
