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?

Trading Academy Core Strategy class was fun. Our instructor Craig was amazing. I would definitely like to take more Asset Classes under him or even if he offered one on one. The facility was easy to get to, & the school staff was amazing, friendly and very helpful. My only gripe was the speed in which the class went due to some people’s lack of computer literacy. I think the Prep Day class offered on Saturday before class should be mandatory and at least 3-4 hrs to help someone get their bearings before Monday’s instruction & also setting up trading view prior to start of Core. Other than that my experience was 11 out of 10.

OTA Trading Academy has been super helpful all-around
OTA Trading Academy has been a really great place for me to learn both about trading and investing. I appreciate being able to learn in-person at the center, online live, and also through recordings. The teaching is clear, with separate practice sessions and simulations, for us to really learn the skills, and student support to answer our questions and help us get unstuck. Really appreciate the in-person class I am in this week, with Larry Jacobson for options. Super clear, with steps and understanding why. Also, appreciate all the encouragement and straight talk to get us motivated and to push through with really learning. Thank you!
