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.

A Lifetime bargain
The instructors are very thorough and patient with students learning complex subjects. They cover every detail and offer a lot of guidance on things that must be considered (they call "rules") to take a trade with high probability and profitable. The other thing about OTA is the lifetime access to whatever asset class I purchase. Learning to be a good trader takes time and effort. A one-and-done approach to a online seminar is really not a good use of money. Purchasing instruction for an asset class with instructors that stay with you for as long as it takes is the best trading education dollars I have ever spent!

I found trading academy and went to the 3day weekend course they offer in Kansas City. Cris the owner of the Kansas City location is great and there was never any pressure to join. The instructor John Larsen was great and very friendly and knowledgeable, I hope that I get to take another class of his one day. I was a bit skeptical at first but I did end up joining the academy and I’m so glad that I did. I’ve learned so much and the XLT’s they offer are on of my favorite things. They’re highly informational and the instructors are awesome that do them. This has given me the opportunity and skills I’ll need to create a better life for my family and I. I’m glad that I became a student and will be a student for life.

High quality education
Trading Academy provides high quality, actionable trading and investment training by knowledgeable instructors who are committed to the success of their students. Although seemingly expensive at first, each course can be taken repeatedly for no further cost, for life. You can repeat each course online or on location as many times as you like until you master the content. It is a remarkable offer that I have found no where else.

The instructor was outstanding
The instructor was outstanding. She explained all facets of the course to the nth degree. She kept our attention by relating current events to historical facts and reviewed information for those who needed more explanation. Her overall expertise and experience gave me confidence in the information provided.
