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.

Overall great experience.
The coaches were all knowledgeable and provided several useful approaches to trading, risk management, automation, psychology, etc.
My singular quibble is that the plan was too unstructured to start, though they have been improving that drastically thought fantastic customer services people like Hanna B. I paid for the six months of mentoring and still felt like I could have used more, but that is because I kept trying new things.

I had been out of the market for almost 3 years because it seemed every time I put money into the market it would immediately tank, and I would panic and pull back out. I found Felix's videos online and he seemed very reasonable.
After wrestling with the implications of throwing thousands of dollars at a financial education with someone I only knew through YouTube videos, I decided to jump in. The first thing to know is that this is a legitimate financial education program, not just an internet scam, which was my initial concern.
I started learning the "Wall Street Protocol" and applied it with very small investments to see whether it would really work for me. After a few missteps, I found my stride and started making money in the market. Not retire tomorrow kind of success, but it started to give me confidence that I might be able to grow my investments over time and not have to work until I die in my cube at work.
I have seen some mixed reviews on the program, and the honest truth is that the coaches all have different backgrounds as professional investors. This gives them different perspectives on the best way to invest under a given set of circumstances. They don't always give the same advice, but I have found exposure to the different approaches to be helpful. Each approach to solving the riddle of the market will resonate with some people and not others. The trick for me was to find the coach whose goals were most closely aligned with my own - and make no mistake, the range of goals of the students in the program cover a large spectrum. Some people are conservative, and some are swinging for the fences with every investment. Know your comfort level and work within that realm.
Talking to only one coach, who doesn't line up with your preferred path can be frustrating. You can get time with any of the coaches, so just watch their group sessions and see who makes the most sense for you and set up time to talk with them. I see it in the group chats - everyone seems to have a favorite coach and tends to stick with them.
The investment program you sign up for comes with a video library covering the details of that method. This gives you a framework to build on. One-on-one discussions with coaches helps you to fine-tune your approach.
Learn to invest with a plan, not with emotion.

Moin Moin.
They do know, what they are doing, and boosted my gains to more in 3 months, that, what I had in a year.
Especially useful are the insights on options and Felix' Screeening-Process, as well as the Hedging-Guidance by Agustín, or the Market-Psychology by Daniel, Brett, Byung, and in general by his staff, who do come as professional, as it can get.
Hanna's support and personal management are forthcoming to the degree, that You can say, that she ist heeding my interests as much as her own.
The prices are not cheap, but very much worth the fee/tuition.
_Cheers,
__Michael.

I'm currently a student of the goat academy. I came into the academy already profitable as an investor/trader over a 5 year period. I became interested in it by watching Felix You Tube videos. The mentors are great and the program is excellent. Some of my favorites were WSP and individual mentors were Carlos, Elliot, Jesus and Matt. Spent the most time individually with Jae because he really listens to my crazy insights about the market.He is also very good. He would be best for students with experience and focus on medium term trading. Spent some time in the beginning with I believe Giancarlo but I might be wrong about the name who communicated a lot of useful information about my personal journey and the market. There are a lot of experienced great mentors and I have only utilized the skills of a few. One thing you will figure out is that they all trade differently. This helped me to determine that as an eclectic investor/trader from long term, options and day trading, I might need a little more focus depending on the market because sometimes you can't see the forest for.the trees. Felix and his insights are the overall picture or the forest. The goat academy provides you with the mentors or trees that teach you how to trade based on technicals, fundamentals, and their individual styles. BK is also good at overall and diversification.Brett will help with anything you ask. I wish I would have utilized him more in options trading but I still can. The one thing I could say that it would improve the platform is a more individual approach to navigating it since it can be quite overwhelming when entering the goat academy. The platform is definitely always improving to help a new student navigate it. One of the reasons I had joined was because I actually wanted a break for a bit because you can never take a week off of the stock market. You need to realize they aren't giving trades but teaching you how to figure it out yourself which is invaluable although time consuming. Before entering I would advise that you have enough time for what's ahead. If you are a beginner, make sure you allocate enough time. Possibly starting on a vacation from work or have the ability to really dedicate yourself on nights and weekends. If you are experienced, it will still take quite a bit of time to get to the next level.I recommend at least a few days to determine what you need how to navigate it in the beginning. Determine what your goals are and what you need to learn more about before or at least when you enter the program. As a career psychotherapist that has been on hiatus for several years and enjoys her freedom, I havent worked a nine to five in awhile and use 2 cell phones to trade. A reacquaintance with a laptop would have been useful for me before entering. Lol. As a woman that takes care of everything in her financial life and otherwise, I admit I have not utilized this program as well as I could have thus far but it has helped me improve very much by classes and mentor teaching. Even learning about how AI can be utilized by Carlos to gather information quickly in fundamentals, technicals and news. He is also very good at determining whether the fundamentals are there for a stock in which you might be interested. I continue to appreciate Felix and what he does for the retail trader so we aren't blind to market manipulation and to remember the importance of sectors and what's going on in the world. Just based on Felix's brilliant insights and generosity and sharing what is going on with the common man, the goat academy is worth it. However with mentor teaching you get so much more to navigate the market successfully. The platform makes a point of improving to help us on our personal journeys in the stock market.

The training and mentoring program has transformed my financial management and really helped me move on my understanding. The material and classes are well thought out. The coaches are really friendly and talented at getting you to learn to trade for yourself. I came into the program hoping to achieve growth of 15% a year to help manage my assets for the future and thanks to the training I have managed to grow 30% in 6 months.

I Like it very much, i am not a beginner, i have taken other course as well, I liked Felis's personality. He teaches how Wall street thinks and strategizes. I paid good money, i made that back within two months or less. Many aha moments for me. No matter our level of skill, we are always learning. I find it mentally stimulating.

Happy graduate of the Goat Academy and very pleased that my targets for joining have been achieved. I am now much more confident and have a stronger understanding and structured approach to trading and investing utilizing correct risk management as part of the process. The content and videos are very good but the best part is the one-on-one coaching sessions. All the coaches take time to work with you and are extremely constructive and supportive in helping you build up your confidence and understanding. Course is evolving and I could see several improvement introduced whilst attending but the most important thing is you need to push yourself to learn, communicate and get the most value from the course as it is not a passive program. Thanks to Hannah for her support and guidance and the coaches (extra thanks to Elliot, Andrew, Agustin and Dominic).

The coach's teaching was valuable, along with the group sessions. I learned a lot of good skills, especially risk management. Useful for the trading but also for longer-term investing. Thank you!

This program is set up in a very clear and concise way that gives you a roadmap to success. the coaches are very knowledgable and were always ready to help out in the chat when I had a simple question or required help in anything that didn't require a big lesson. Also the booked one on one calls were amazing as I got to learn how to read the market first and foremost then work my way towards stock selection and execution. As time moved on my setups became clear and my risk/reward improved greatly. I'm a very stubborn and high-strung guy but even I have learned the patience that is required to play the greatest game there is.
my wins are 4x bigger than my losses and my batting Avg over the last 2 months is an unreal .875 with my largest winner over 90%
I also learned options here at the Acadamy and im happy to report that I've had quite a few wins over 200% and have a few contracts still in play that I'm Bullish on. I was a little worried about the tuition but...
IT'S WORTH IT!

Felix, the director of the goat academy, has developed the best all-around course for achieving financial success. First and most important, his motivation originates from a sincere desire to help people succeed. Read his story to understand. I personally have achieved much. He gives a great deal of his advice for free. The course is constantly growing and increasing in its scope. The mentors give daily classes that, along with the course material, justify the cost. Thank you, Felix. It is rare for someone in your position to put themselves out to help others survive in our financial jungle.

Fantastic experience I started working with the team back in August, from day one I felt more confident around trading my portfolio. I only 5 months in and have seen a significant amount of growth in my portfolio and working with mark and Troy has been a huge help in doing so. Thanks felix!

really not that helpful and very expensive for what it is
I've been in the market since my university years in the mid 1980's. I have to say after trying and using various subscriptions for ideas Felix really knows his stuff as an ex-investment banker. I'm a Certified Public Accountant (USA) & Chartered Accountant (UK). I can read financials inside out, but investing is way more than that. It is geopolitical, innovation, internal management direction and other scenarios rolled into one and Felix Prehn exposes this in a somewhat easy to follow analysis.
Goat Academy practices risk management. I cannot stand mentors perpetuating the asinine buy & holding your stocks no matter what philosophy (maybe, maybe in a new disruptor business like quantum computers as I had QBTS & RGTI 3 years as sat on my shares that cost me $0.65 or NFLX as I had since 2006). Disney after covid or AT&T cut dividend get out these stocks. In fact they are still not back at their price at covids end for DIS $230 or T pre dividend cut $33.

I started off watching Felix and Friends goat academy videos over the course of a couple months and decided to give the program a try. I have been working with the mentors in the Goat Academy program for over a month now and have noticed great progress with refining my trading ideas and building consistency in the markets.
If you are looking for amazing mentors who can provide valuable insight and help with navigating any market environment, I would give Goat Academy a try. Be sure to discuss your investment/trading goals with their representative so that they can best tailor your time in the program to your individual needs. Also shout out to Oliver who helped me get set up and connected with the program!

Felix's Goat Academy Program is a true game-changer for anyone ready to take charge of their financial future. The team of coaches is genuinely committed to your success—they're always supportive, responsive, and ready to guide you through any question, no matter how big or small. Felix, the heart and soul of the Academy, brings a brilliant mix of humor and motivation while remaining deeply dedicated to helping every member succeed.
The course itself is thoughtfully structured, with clear lessons, practical quizzes, and an accountability system that ensures you keep making progress. What truly stands out is how the team consistently checks in and offers encouragement. You feel seen, heard, and championed every step of the way.
Felix’s approach isn’t just about tips or shortcuts—he’s the king of teaching you how to “fish” in the financial world, so you develop long-lasting, practical skills. Learning how to buy and sell confidently, without getting lost in hope or uncertainty, has been invaluable. I’ll never forget his phrase: “Hope is not a plan.”
I’m now an Alumni, applying everything I learned with gratitude for this supportive community. Felix and his amazing team—including Winston and the team of Kitties. Go Winston!!—truly care about every person who joins. If you’re considering signing up, don’t hesitate. This is an investment in yourself that you’ll be thankful for.
Wishing Felix and the entire Goat Academy team all the best!

What makes my experience here great is the support I am receiving from the customer service manager, from Jesus, from instructors such as Byung Kim, Carlos and Matt that make you feel that what ever level you are at is okay and we build from there. I always look so forward to Elliot as well and the humour he interjects helps tremendously. I wish I had Felix doing videos here on Sundays or whatever days as I saw him on You tube and find his explanations most insightful. To this day (as well as taking the program) I still sign up and do his weekly intros for people because I always find a gem of information. I have no background in this area whatsoever but wanted to feel that I could learn and manage my own portfolio instead of shelling out thousands every quarter and just feeling like a number to the institution. Here despite the amount of students, you feel valued no matter what level you are at. Not feeling so helpless any longer but moreso hopeful. Maybe Tom Hanks can make a movie out of that!

I discovered Felix Prehn via his YouTube channel. My initial reaction was 'Quirky chap, VERY dry sense of humour, has an enormous number of cats/kittens and golden retriever, Winston'.
Given my shared ownership of cats, that was enough to follow the channel and take time to assess what he had to say. He was one of many stock market commentators that I was following, so I had points of comparison. There are a lot of financial courses on offer from YouTubers, so Felix's Goat Academy was one of a mix in my sights.
To be honest, my starting point was that I could likely get what I needed from watching various videos - and I didn't think it worth the outlay to pay for anything at all from my hard-earned cash.
And then Liberation Day happened.
In 3 days, over 17% of my portfolio was wiped out - before I decided to cut my losses and sell all of my positions. I had no idea what else to do than stop the haemorrhaging of money.
Annoyingly, then everything I had owned bounced right back up and I'd have been considerably better off, if I had retained my original investments.
Conclusion: I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, other than guesses. I was undertaking what I thought was 'research', before committing to investments - when I look back, these attempts were laughable, but seemed logical at the time.
Following this painful experience, I did pay closer attention to Felix's YouTube observations, as a direct result of which I managed to recoup my losses over a couple of weeks. I'd originally resisted signing up to Goat Academy, but this was the point at which I acknowledged I needed help.
My reasons for choosing Goat Academy over another option was primarily that Felix talked about stocks, market behaviours, short and long term observations - but essentially refused to adopt the line of, "Buy/don't buy this stock, it will make you rich/it's a disaster". He was very much of the view people should learn the patterns, rules and behaviours of markets, to understand not only what but when to buy/sell, how to screen for suitable investments - and how to negotiate what can be a massive rollercoaster.
It was a "Let me teach you how to fish" approach, "so that you don't have to be dependent on me" view.
I also had a look at 'Tradevision' (yes, it is his trading tool - and yes, it does have an edge on other equivalents, though I do use several).
Before any naysayers have a go at my mentioning 'Felix doesn't tell you what to buy/sell on his YouTube channel' - yes, he does talk about companies and sectors. He also makes clear, for those paying attention, that whatever companies or funds that are mentioned, these can change their market position very, very, very rapidly (sometimes within hours). Therefore, what might be considered a 'buy' on one day could be the complete opposite the next. On that point, my view is never to buy/sell something because of what someone has mentioned on YouTube; if that's your approach, brace yourself to lose a lot of money.
Eventually, with reservations, I did commit to joining Goat Academy.
The range of educational material is extensive, accessible and in plain English. Felix presents much of it, but there are a number of coaches available - for which you can request one-to-one tuition. Group sessions are available, either to join live or watch on catch-up, according to your schedule. There is also a chatty community of students and weekly content to digest and discuss.
Be under no illusion: this is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme and you do have to put in hours of study (set aside a good 6 hours weekly - I did more - but it really is a case that you will get out of it what you put in).
And I am still learning, over 4 months into being a Goat Academy student, so this process will take time. I have made and continue to make mistakes along the way, so have happily signed up for another 4 months.
Was Goat Academy worth the money?
I can only account for my own experience: in my first 4 months I nearly doubled my portfolio value. In a typical week, I increase the value by between 2-4% - sometimes the returns are much better and bad weeks still happen. Much of the learning process focusses on understanding the psychology of the markets and your own behaviours, so as to stop making bad decisions. A fundamental principle is to protect your capital and to know when to let an exhausted investment go.
As I write, this week on the markets has been torrid - and was my reason for renewing my membership, because I personally still need the support through these difficult times.
To summarise, although initially doubtful, Goat Academy proved absolutely worthwhile. I made back the course fee within 3 wks & went on to profit substantially. I'm now passing on this knowledge to my children.
Early retirement beckons, and a new house I never thought I could afford. More is now possible.
