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?

Great experience, great information
The vast majority of everything included is awesome. i.e. facility, people, accommodations, teachers .....
The only thing that hurt me a little was just the enormous amount of information that is jammed into that week. There were times I simply felt overwhelmed. BUT you have many resources available to me and I will try and use them as best I can.

Meeting touted on Facebook was a lie
I took the meeting touted on Facebook as teaching people all they need to know about trading. It was all a lie. They got us there to pitch the Trading Academy. I wasted my time. The picture shown on Facebook showed people sitting at a computer and I assumed trading. None of that happen. meeting was in Cerritos, CA.

Former investment professional
I recently completed my 3rd program with the trading academy. This was the futures class and like the two before I am grateful for the high quality instruction and clarity provided by the program and most of all by the instructor. My experience with each class and every instructor I have met is that everyone in the Trading Academy is working to help each student succeed in their journey. Despite having been a professional trader on Wall Street, I have learned a lot of new techniques and skills in this class.
The program is designed to work for novices (like my 20yr old children) to professionals with extensive expertise. There is something for everyone at the academy.
