Written by the company

Trading Academy provides education for people who want to understand stock trading, options trading, futures trading, forex trading, and crypto trading. Our proprietary Core Strategy offers a structured framework to help learners analyze markets and make informed decisions. For over 25 years, more than 85,000 students have taken our classes. Whether you’re exploring how to buy stocks, how to trade options, how to short a stock, or how to invest in crypto, our courses emphasize practical techniques, terminology, and risk awareness. Instruction is available at more than ten education centers across the U.S., as well as internationally in Dubai, with additional online access through a comprehensive student portal and mobile app supported by over sixty instructors. Students gain exposure to a wide range of market topics, including how to buy and sell stocks, use stock trading simulators, understand stock profit calculators, and navigate premarket and after-hours trading sessions. 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. In crypto education, students examine what cryptocurrency is, how to buy and store it safely, where to trade it, and how to use crypto trading platforms, exchanges, and profit calculators. Across all programs, learners also study topics such as platform evaluation, risk management fundamentals, AI-assisted trading tools, and paper trading for practice. Courses are intended for educational purposes only. Trading and investing involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Trading Academy is not a broker, dealer, or investment adviser.

Why do Wall Street firms seem to be consistently profitable while many individual traders fall short of their financial goals or lose money?

The format of this class was the best ever. I hope there are more classes with this format. The three hour format is perfect. The slower pace was very helpful.

Futures class with Jordan:

Futures class with Jordan:
Jordan did a great job of simplifying all of the complexity of trading futures simple and actionable. I do recommend taking the class at least second time to catch all of the little gems of advice that are handed out in this program. The support at the academy is exceptional and both Seema and Joohung take personal responsibility to ensure each student is getting the most out of the class, both before and after the course.

The instructors are seasoned industry veterans. Practical knowledge is better than sifting through bunch of YouTube DIY or reddit. The instructors have been on the other side of the industry and is knowledgeable of what is occurring and why the markets are doing what they're doing way better than the news.

Jordan Matthews is an excellent instructor. He is very informative, funny, and brings a lot of real-world experience into his teaching. I appreciated how he explained concepts in a way that was easy to understand while keeping the class engaging and enjoyable. His sense of humor made the learning environment comfortable, and you can tell he genuinely knows his material from years of experience. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend taking his class.

CORE Strategy

It was my second time taking the course. I was able to pick up and understand the materials much better the second time around. It was great to be able to get different perspectives on the same materials from different instructors.

First time taking professional options trader class . I appreciate Larry ‘s teaching method, he is able to simplify the lesson so it’s not as complicated.
I’m not sure if I would do this type of asset because I’m trading with my self directed IRA ‘s LLC.
