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?

I attended the 1 day and 3 day I production classes into trading. Have been interested for a while and finally went. I am so happy that I made the choice to go. The teacher and other staff are very knowledgeable and help guide you to what suits you best. I made a choice to stick to futures and will be attending classes soon. Thank you on helping me and choosing the best path for me.

I just finished up taking Core Strategies and Futures courses over the last two weeks, with Chris Manson as my instructor. Chris not only made the class fun he made trading seem simple. We got to put Chris's teaching into practice with simulation trading. It was amazing seeing the benefits of taking these classes, and how fast you could scale your trading business if you so desired.
If you are interested in trading you should give OTA a serious look. Take the three day to get more of a hands on approach into the world of trading.

Excellent explanation of the market and what affects the forces of the market. How emotions play upon our choices and how to focus more on the Core Strategy techniques than emotions. Our instructor, Kelly, hammered into us to follow procedures and to manage risk. He is a great instructor getting us involved and not to give in to frustrations.
Renee, our Lab Assistant, was fantastic showing what we needed to look for in our set ups.

I am now a re-take with OTA taking Core Strategy and I'm continuing to learn every time. Kelly Boycks is a very thorough instructor. Renee and Christian are very helpful as student support. With the changes in the markets, this is a perfect time to be learning how to work the market. What I'm learning now, I will have for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone at OTA.

The BEST course for learning to trade!
I came into this course with no training experience. As the Core Strategy course progressed I became more competent and confident in the trading process. Kelly Boycks was an unbelievable instructor! His level of knowledge, teaching ability, and real world experience made the Core Strategy process easy to understand and apply. I strongly recommend this program for anyone looking to start or improve on their trading objectives.

The why and how Economic Reports finally explained
Great explanation of how to use Forexfactory to monitor reports and set up trades prior. I’ve heard that economic reports were important in all my OTA classes. But it always seemed overwhelming to monitor all the different web sites. Brock nailed it down the how and why if monitoring very concisely. Most importantly he showed us we could set up trades prior!
