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.

When I came in I was completely in the dark on how to build a trade plan and execute my trading strategy. After taking my class I now have some confidence on how to place trades that are within my limits and comfort zone. I never realized how following a core strategy can be a replicable system to create the best possible results for my short and long term trading accounts benefit. Spencer was able to keep me involved and excited learn, in a fast paced environment where we are able to ask questions, get answers, and not waste time. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to build confidence in trading, and to place themselves in the best possible position to succeed!

Cameron's Future Classes
Cameron's week long class of Futures was enlightening. I remember taking the introductory three day class and having no idea about Futures and Shorting. Now, it just seems so silly.

My overall experience in Core Strategy…
My overall experience in Core Strategy was extremely valuable. Spencer Lewis delivered the material with clarity, structure, and real-world application, which helped bridge the gap between theory and execution. The way supply and demand concepts were broken down, reinforced, and applied to live market examples made the learning practical and actionable.
What stood out most was the emphasis on risk management, discipline, and process over emotion. That shift in mindset alone has significantly improved how I approach the markets.
I also want to acknowledge Rob Hanson and Kai Stansberry, the student support, during class. The responsiveness and willingness to clarify questions made the experience feel supportive rather than transactional. The combination of structured curriculum and accessible support creates confidence for students who are serious about long-term consistency.
