This has to be the best trading academy. I have felt from the beginning that The Goat Academy is not so much a business but a mission to educate everyday people like me about the stock market and how... See more

About Goat Academy by Felix Prehn
Written by the company
So Felix Prehn turned to running his own business, but even still he was a glorified employee who had to show up in order to get paid. He turned to trading when he was hospitalised because of a back injury that came from chronic stress and overwork, but the worst part was that it would’ve cost $50,000 to operate on… Money he didn’t have at the time. At that point, his income was completely cut off because he couldn’t punch in the hours to get paid, yet his bills continued to climb.
Having no choice, Felix used his network and experience as an investment banker to learn how to trade from his hospital bed so he could at least make a side income to pay his bills. Before he knew it, within 10 months he had completely replaced his business income (and his previous corporate salary) with the income that came from his trades. So instead of having to wake up early, clock in, and get paid based on the amount of hours he worked… Felix was finally able to wake up feeling like every day was a weekend, have full control of his schedule, and make a comfortable income working a fraction of the hours he did as a lawyer and banker.
In 2020, Felix and his adopted Golden Retriever, Winston, started a YouTube channel called Felix and Friends to educate people struggling because of job loss, hour cuts, and income losses because of the pandemic to create an extra stream of income through trading for a few hours a week
Since then, he’s grown the channel to over 100,000 subscribers and has taught over 9000 students inside of GOAT Academy with his team of ex investment bankers how they can create more freedom, provide better for their families, and live life on their terms by replacing their 40-60 hour work weeks as corporate employees for becoming their own boss and “working” part time hours.
Today, Felix aims to provide real financial education that schools and universities have never provided to over 1 million people so they can stop getting taken advantage of by the corporate and banking systems, and instead, take back control of their time and finances to become better sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, and community leaders.

Amazing learning experience so far and…
Amazing learning experience so far and I'm only 2 weeks in the program. I'm so glad I took this leap. Endless value for years to come.
Truly professional
Just a short shout out to Oscar at Goat Academy for spending a significant amount of time with me while answering questions that I had about the Academy.
Very knowledgeable, professional, and was able to impress that he had significant experience that I am very interested to gain myself.
Oscar, just another thanks for your time and I cannot wait to get to see you again on the inside!!
These guys are legit!
I have been involved with Felix and his Goat Academy for two years now.
I guess the most important thing I can say is that these guys are 100% legitimate. And it sounds almost too good to be true, but they know what they're talking about. They are extremely qualified and you get to have one-on-one time with them.
There is a series of learning modules you go through at your own pace. In the beginning, when I started out, the quality was a bit sketchy, but like with everything else, they have continued to improve and improve.
A lot of Felix’s thinking and understanding and propensities are available for free on his YouTube channel.,
The next best thing is all the Live trainings and recordings of Live trainings. They're available for you at your own pace. These cover a WIDE variety of topics on investing and trading and managing your money. Again, these are from experts, not people that are YouTube creators. with sometimes decades of Wall Street investing.
But the hallmark of the Goat Academy is your access to live coaches. You get to pick from any of about 15 or 20 different coaches. I've probably used about six or eight of them, and they've all been wonderful human beings, extremely knowledgeable and patient and generous with their time. They look over your portfolio with you, or help you execute a particular trade.
Where elsewhere on Earth can you get one-on-one access to people that are experts in trading, investing, and the ways of the markets? And they treat you patiently, like you are their long lost cousin.
Last, but not least, because of all the major changes they've made to their tools and their website, they instituted the policy of every single member has their own customer service agent. To handle any problems or smooth over any rough spots. And to find you the help you need.
Mine is a beautiful, kind, and dedicated person named Angelique. Response time is very quick. I think Felix must have an amazing capacity to connect with his fellow humans, because he has assembled a world class team of people to make his vision of educating regular people in investing, to become financially free. I am very happy that I joined.
The interactions with the Goat Academy…
The interactions with the Goat Academy staff have so far always been professional, courteous, patient and helpful. Also response times and follow ups are prompt and thorough. The staff is well coached and makes the interaction a relaxed exchange.
Too much to learn!!!
I’ve had a great experience with the program at Goat Academy. The curriculum is comprehensive, covering investing concepts clearly, and the support from the Client Success Managers (mine was Angelique) has been fantastic responsive, welcoming, and always helpful.
It’s a program that depends on you… while the resources are excellent, I personally wasn't able to fully utilize everything because it has so much to learn from!!!. Highly recommended to start leaning about finance and investing. Felix’s guidance is amazing and the tools are great.
Excellent Resources and Mentorship - but the outcome rests on YOU
This trading/investing program offers an excellent opportunity to explore diverse strategies through a highly experienced coaching team. A standout feature is the flexibility: you can book 1:1 sessions with a single coach who fits your style, or cycle through the team for their different perspectives to arrive at your own unique approach. Between the live group sessions, massive vault of recordings, and course modules, this program is definitely not short on resources.
What truly sets GOAT Academy apart is the incredible patience of the coaches (who are no doubt well-paid! 😉), as they seamlessly guide a constant stream of new students through the core concepts and field their questions. I have learned more than I thought I would. It is also great to see that Felix is committed to continuously adding value to the overall program.
That said, coaching and materials only make up two-thirds of the success equation. The final, crucial third rests entirely on the student. I chose the 6-month program. Will 6 months transform you into a market wizard? Absolutely not. Mastery takes years, especially when personal capital is on the line and human emotion enters the mix. Your longevity in the market comes down to how well you truly know yourself and risk management, both of which we, as humans, are not inherently good at.
Highly recommended for those with eyes wide open to the realities of trading/investing. Let the journey begin!
Great Experience
In all honesty, I was very hesitant to sign up for the GOAT Academy. I got a lot out of the Felix and Friends YouTube channel, but trusting a paid online service that I really knew very little about was quite difficult for me. I'd been trading and investing for about five years, and prior to that I had about $1,000 in my account. I sacrificed and saved every cent I could and started piecing it all together — reading, watching videos, and watching the market. Five years later I found myself in a much better financial scenario, but I kept making insufficiently informed, emotional decisions and failing to protect my trades, which caused me to miss out on significant gains and suffer real losses. I knew something had to change, and the GOAT Academy did seem like the right move to make.
I wasn't looking for a service to tell me what stocks to buy — that's almost pointless in my opinion. You know, "teach a person to fish." I was looking for something that could help me figure out all the areas I was lacking in: how to protect myself in the markets, when and where money was shifting, the process behind choosing better stocks, portfolio diversification, how to see the markets as a whole, and what moves markets and why. And, somewhat unknown to me at the time though one of the most important things, learning how to understand myself and how I interact with and respond to the markets and their happenings. My experience with the Academy helped me fill in all these gaps and more.
All the coaches, CSMs, and staff I interacted with were incredibly kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. There are many coaches to interact with — you can find one and stay with them throughout the process, or explore to get different perspectives. There is a wide range of classes, both live and prerecorded, covering a vast array of topics, as well as an abundance of online resources. I did feel a bit lost in the beginning, just figuring out how it all worked, but they have made a lot of positive changes to the onboarding process since I started the program. Obviously, as with any learning experience, you get out of it what you are willing to put into it — my work started when my coaching calls ended. It is very much a self-directed learning process, which is essential, since being a retail trader is mostly a self-directed venture. Working with the Academy altered my approach to trading and investing dramatically, and in ways I hadn't considered heading into it. It would be foolish for me to say this program is for everyone, but personally, I am truly grateful for the experience. I found the Academy to be a trustworthy organization that operates with integrity, understanding, and care.
Dean
Goat Academy Program
For people who are just starting out to invest in the stock market it really is a must!
The coaches are top notch and some of them are absolute gems!
Dominic for example could teach an idiot child in one session what hours of watching YouTube tutorials couldn’t.
Elliot is another gem, though you need to be advanced.
If you’re into options trading there’s no one better than Patrick and Brett.
The Student Success Managers are indispensable for the starter students.
Angelique , my SCM , makes me feel like an old style manager with a secretary.
As you learn more about investing and move up you can move up to senior coaches and if you put in the hours and effort you will definitely need them.
They have weekly reports you need to fill in which means they keep track of your progress.
Which means they care.
For those that can afford it I definitely recommend joining the Inner Circle
A Step Into a Whole New World
First and foremost the course material is really great, the tools and apps are pretty darn useful and set you up nicely to face the daunting world of trading and investing. The staff are very good my CSM Angelique has been nothing but instructive and helpful, the coaches such as Brett and Matt are very insightful on the course material. I'd definitely recommend them.
I have really enjoyed and benefited…
I have really enjoyed and benefited from my time with Goat Academy. The coaches are very knowledgeable and will help with any investing questions. I recommend Goat Academy for investors at any level of knowledge. The money you spend on this will give you a lifetime return on the investment!
My experience has been great
My experience has been great. I had issues to work thru getting to know the websites but that was on me. Some of the curriculum went further than I've learned before. But I found it helpful to take my time and do it one peice at a time. I've been investing for a long time and took this course so to improve my returns. I still in my first month and look forward to learning more.
Worth every cent!!!
It has been less than a month since I joined Goat Academy, and I would like to share my feedback.
Initially, I was hesitant to enroll due to the course fees and was unsure whether the program would deliver on its promises. However, since joining, all my doubts have been completely dispelled.
The course content and the accompanying app are exceptionally well structured and are continuously improved. The value provided far exceeds the fee charged. The level of insight and information shared here was previously accessible only to a select few, and it is now made available to all students. This becomes evident as soon as you begin using the Winston app and engaging with the course material.
The support provided by the team is outstanding. Mr. Alejandro, despite being on vacation in Europe, went above and beyond to help me resolve an issue I was facing with my CR card. He followed up daily via phone and email, even during his personal time. Such dedication and customer-focused service are rare in today’s environment.
Similarly, Ms. Melissa from the Client Success team has been incredibly supportive. She is calm, patient, and always responds promptly, even to my frequent questions about locating videos or navigating app features. I have observed that even while traveling, she ensures her clients receive not just a reply, but the exact resources they need to avoid any unnecessary delays.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with both the program and the service provided by the team. I highly recommend Goat Academy to anyone serious about learning and growing in this field.
An unparalleled experience
My time at the Goat Academy so far has been in its truest form, a blessing. It seems like all the information in the world concerning money and how to use it, is vague and well guarded.
The Goat Academy breaks through all the noise with their educational program to teach you the skills you need that will let you breathe again. I didn't realize how much stress I was carrying around with me until I started learning these skills. I feel bad for my Success Manager reading my reports, she probably thinks I'm a loon.
The people here who make up the Academy are extremely helpful. There are persons here from every corner of the world and I like that. I didn't expect the Staff to be as humble and as lovely as they are.
The Coaches who teach the curriculum, the Student Success Managers, the One on One Coaches; each and every one of them, it feels like they genuinely want you to succeed. They are true people with empathy and fellow feeling because at one time they were once standing in our shoes.
I've seen a level of depth to trading that I didn't know existed. I've seen friendships blossom between Teacher and student because the students here really care about what they're learning. The Coaches on the other hand get to share their time and experience with someone that is listening with rapt attention. I've never experienced anything like this before.
The Staff at the Academy truly love to help. I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about them. Learning to manage your money, getting out of debt and coupling it in together with this course, is the second most important thing in the world a person can do.
I thank God every day that I have found the Academy. If you are unsure of where to go, to learn how to read the market and feel like you are in control of your future, then this is the place where you want to be. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you for putting the Goat Academy out there and laying it all out on the line.
Trying to find direction as a newbie.
I had very little experience of trading stocks prior to enrolling to the Goat Academy, I had no plans or safety nets regarding buying/selling. I only recently joined but I feel like I have already learned so much, the modules are easy to follow, the members are very friendly and knowledgeable. I love the ground up structure that focuses on teaching the fundamentals and the framework with a clear path towards success one small step at a time. Only after a short week I am starting to understand the tools, structure and the direction of the course. This is a great community with lots of professional talent, everyone is like minded and focused on helping others to better themselves financially. I cannot wait to see where I’ll be in a month or two, I feel like I am in the right place to develop proper in dept trading skills.
Became your own investor with knowledge
Jeremy was able to explain what the Goat Academy is all about and honestly this organization is doing what no investment firm is doing: Explaining the market and how it moves so that you personally know how the market moves and when to invest and when to get out and are no longer dependent upon them. You get high level Market coaches with 30 years real experience with the huge firms and can pick anyone to connect to. They aim to make you self sustaining with both market knowledge and macro economic conditions so you know what to do. Excited for what we will learn.
My GOAT Academy experience
I don't know how I would have learned this education any other way. I just completed six months in the program. I am pretty much a begginer to trading, GOAT taught everything from the ground up. How to set up every platform you need and how to understand how to buy/sell trades of every type. They teach you basically everything you need to know to start your journey in the trading world and do it in a cautious safe manner. The coaches are open for any question you have, big or small, absolutely nothing is a silly question! Continuous live videos everyday to keep learning daily and every video was recorded so I could watch on my free time. The live videos and recordings kept me involved and on track every day. You get one on one sessions every week to answer questions that come up on a daily basis. There are also live classes every week to learn Felix's reports and his custom tools for understanding the market. I get that I'm a begginer and new to all this, but the depth of knowledge the coaches have, every level of trader is sure to learn something helpful. Everyone on the team was professional and generous with their time and knowledge. I will be moving forward with in depth knowledge, tools and skills to begin my market adventure.
I had done some trading on my own and…
I had done some trading on my own and realized I needed guidance in order to manage my own accounts. Learning the Stock Market can be daunting as there is so much information and as many 'teachers' whose knowledge may or may not be helpful. Goat starts with basics of the Academy's founder as a foundation one may learn. The Academy offers ample opportunities to augment the lessons with teaching in group settings by experienced and skilled traders nearly each day. The sessions are recorded in the event the material was missed or refresh is needed. A weekly one on one call with an experienced Sr. Trading coach is included to speed learning of the right and needed material. My customer service manager has been responsive, approachable and prepared when I needed help and I feel the value for the money has been so far well worth the experience. I renewed my mentorship for another full year.
Best real coaching program !
I am 76 years old and have been with the Goat Academy since July 2024 and started with no knowledge on how to invest in the stock market .I just wanted to improve on the returns I was getting from my portfolio being managed by my bank . After taking the Options and the Wall Street courses I have been able to beat the S&P and double my portfolio. The best part of the program were my coaches - Carlos, Jae, Gerry, George , Elliott and Gerry who Were patient and always encouraging - especially through the market dips - and there has been quite a few in the past 2years! This program is worth both your time and money and so I am still in it and still learning . You need at least 6 -12 months to get the essentials and learn the rules. The most difficult to do is to follow the rules you will learn - Felix always says marry the girl and not the stock!
I really enjoy how the training is set…
I really enjoy how the training is set up. it's great that I can do the training when I have time. I see there is always support available when I need it. Thanks
