Goat Academy by Felix Prehn Reviews 564

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.

Adding to GOAT's great catalog of tutorial resources, the access to live webinars and 1:1 coaching is superb. As a relatively successful investor, I was seeking more sophisticated strategies for options. Jesus is a very good coach, taking his time to ensure you understand every step of the various processes and the context around the tactics. He is teaching me options strategies and executional tactics that I was unfamiliar with, creating new opportunities for earnings, while mitigating risk. My ROI on the course is already 10x after one month.

Jesus is good instructor and gave solid feedback about the spread of my portfolio. The discussion with him, despite that I couldn’t actually show the portfolio, was valuable and spot on.

I joined the Goat Academy, after watching Felix and Friends Youtube videos for a couple months, in June of 2025 and have since grown in both my personal and financial life. I have had peace of mind of steady growth in my portfolio, I have also gained the confidence to pick my own stocks which has allowed me to trade without FOMO, and in doing so I am buying smart. As Felix says, it’s easier to call momentum than it is a bottom. I did well enough before this course buying low, selling high or trying to, that if I just kept up with my returns, this academy would pay for itself. Since joining I have doubled my usual returns.

I treated this course like I was going to trading college. They have 4-8 classes a day on all different levels of instruction. Some are basic for beginners, some focused on longer term less active investment accounts and others focused on trading. Some of the classes get into market conditions and most reading charts. And even a % of the classes are rather specialized. If you're learning to trade I highly recommend 1on1 coaching, if you know how to trade i highly recommend 1on1 coaching. The difference here is accelerated learning 1on1 and/or checking your trade logic with an expert. Any given coach will know multiple ways (strategies) to trade and/or invest as well as have experience in doing so.

Just as Felix portrays it is about preservation of capital first, because it's harder to grow wealth no matter how much you make if you can't hold onto it. Coaches are going to make sure you understand stop losses and position sizing before you do anything else. There will be classes every week to reinforce this, Matt will have some great classes to get you started. Carlos might be the only coach that teaches more classes than Matt and you can learn a lot from both of them. I think one of the most tenured coaches here is Jesus who hosts various classes from setting up screeners to reading charts and often has impromptu chart reading and other sessions. Any of them can teach you the basics all the way to being an expert.

Beyond the things I participated in, there were classes on income strategies and fixed investments. I think if someone requested something and there was enough interest the academy found a coach to accommodate. One of the things I pursued was writing a trading algo, and within 3 weeks of joining the program we had a coach for that. All the instructors have years of experience and some decades. Not everyone trades the same way, but however they trade they are all so kind when they go over it with you. I asked a lot of questions and definitely a few I repeated and they were always so kind and knowledgeable. Most of the coaches just do coaching or teach 1 or 2 classes a week. I highly recommend any of them. Elliot and Brendan have great weekly market/economic recaps (Worth staying up late or getting up early, I think they have some tenure with the program too). And if you're trying to get help reading Felix’s notes Brett Medina has been doing a class every week.

1) how to position your trades (sizing)
2) when to sell (or how to manage your stop loss/gain)
3) what to look for as an investor or trader (through screeners and chart analysis)

There's also a list that shows you what Felix is considering/buying every week...but by the time you graduate you'll be making your own lists that I would like to tweak a bit more. It is a 3 step process, in the order outlined above. You are going to make your own rules, learn to follow them, and then get re-enforcement on how to pick stocks, when to buy, and when to sell them. Simply put if you follow your rules you will get what you expect and sometimes more.

Today is the last day of my program and I am grateful for the friends and mentors I have met along the way. Felix once said he was just an average guy (not Winston, he's not an average dog), and learned everything from his mentors, retired investment bankers, I feel I got the same tutorage. Thank you all for being so helpful and full of knowledge. Besides the ones I worked with I could credit anyone that ever made a video (i watched most of them), and am sorry I didnt have a chance to meet every coach.

I was a complete stranger to the world of economics and finance. I joined the Goat Academy because I wanted to be educated in that topic and make something more with my money than just have it in my bank or spend it on something useless. I also wanted to make the future of my family more secure. I first joined the Wall Street protocol where I learned about financial markets and stocks. I really made an effort and invested a lot of my time acquiring new knowledge. The more I learned the more I understood how the markets work and how to make profit of that knowledge. All the mentors - coaches and my client manager Biljana really made a great effort. When you attend their sessions you truly get the impression that it is their true purpose to give you all the knowledge you need to have and even more knowledge if you are willing to learn. I am now entering the options program because I believe it is very complementary to trading stocks. I am looking forward to learning even more and securing financial freedom for me and my family. Many many thanks to the whole Goat Academy community

I've been on quite a journey from knowing very little about trading when I joined the GOAT academy, to now feeling a lot more in control. I undertook my initial course with 121 sessions with the coaches, studying very hard and trying to listen to as many coach training calls as I could. I found the coaches excellent and very supportive. After graduating from the course, I was then on my own for a couple of months, but was lacking confidence in the choppy markets to place trades. I realised that I needed to invest in my education, continue learning and have the support of the GOAT coaches, the community and Felix's weekly stock pick list. So after much personal deliberation, I have re-joined for 12 months and I am pleased to say its turned out to be a very good decision. I have now had several successful trades, and plenty of others invested still. My successful trades are paying for my re-enrolment. I am continuing to learn, still working on my skills, listening to as many coach calls as I can, and getting better all of the time, and most importantly still very much enjoying the journey.

Numbers speak for themselves.

"Your account had a cumulative rate of return of 46.04% from Jun 24, 2025 to Sep 23, 2025."

The best investment I've made so far is in these guys. You wont be told what or when to buy, you'll learn when to get in or out of any stock and why! Its up to you to put in the work and find stocks & create your own portfolio. It's not a handout. I believe that's why there's some mixed reviews online. And yes, i had a string of investments that didn't work out. However, losses were small thanks to risk management which I've learned about and because of that i was able to re-invest the money into other stocks.

I wish i had found out about this sooner.

My 6 week experience with Goat Academy has been great so far in my learning journey. I've had a major learning curve to conquer and still do but the coaches and support staff have all been professional, prompt on responses to questions and concerns and courteous. Im really glad I joined and I see progress in my journey.

Felix and his team had me excited about money, and at 74 years that takes some doing. Clear and interesting insights in the murky world of trading which had I not happened on one of Felix's videos would not think of getting involved with. Would love to understand and make some profit with help from the Goat Academy and Winston. Cheers Felix.

I find the course materials to be excellent and comprehensive. In addition, the coaches are dedicated to mentoring students regardless of their experience and familiarity with asset trading and investing. GOAT Academy has been a life-changing revelation, and I am on my path to financial freedom!

Really good course, Good instructors and a helpful community. The 1-1 coaching on the mentoring program was invaluable and helped correct some of my previous mistakes . Every effort is made to give you the tools and methods to survive in the market.
I would certainly consider studying with them again.

The GOAT academy is great! My main objective was to gain knowledge and confidence. I have developed a trading/investing strategy that works for me utilizing what I have learned from the amazing coaches. It is very important to the coaches to provide beneficial information to the students. They have been very supportive.

I have learned so much. I have every hope that my strategy and rules will continue to provide consistent wins.

I'm about 4 months into my GOAT Academy experience. Have to say that I've learned a lot during this time. I'm recently retired and have had a few years trading experience as an untrained person just figuring it out, which has been good & bad.

The most important thing I did not know anything about was risk management, which really is what lead me to enroll. I can't say I've mastered it yet but I understand it & am implementing it, as the most important thing to me is to protect our capital.

The coaches are great, these are some really smart people who know what they'ree doing. They set up Zoom events every day for students to join & learn about the relevant topics & even if I don't know what to ask about I always learn something from these.

The personal coach calls are great. They look at you're actually doing & help solve problems & get your issues sorted out, explain things you need help with, etc.

I dinged it one star as I think this could be better structured in some ways but despite that, I've found it to be quite informative & keep learning things every week.

I joined the GOAT Academy a few months ago and have gained a vast amount of knowledge (and substantial profits) from not only the group calls but also the 1:1 coaching. What I love is that with this program you have access to so many coaches with real world trading expertise. Before joining I had more anxiety and trepidation when trading. Now, I am a MUCH more confident trader and have a lot less stress. Previously I was doing ok in the market with some small wins and losses. I have seen my profits grow exponentially during the last few months. The knowledge I have gained has truly transformed my trading process. I have learned so much about reading charts, investing principles, position sizing, fundamentals, risk management, how to spot breakouts and how to lock in profits. In addition to the coaching calls I love the community aspect where students can all share their wins and their own take aways from the program. There's a strong sense of support from the students as well as the customer success managers that assist with any needs throughout your journey. Another nice bonus is because the program has so many coaches in various time zones, you can really find the help you need that works for your busy schedule. For me that is important because like many students, I still have a day job and family obligations. I have recommended the program to many friends, family and co-workers. If you're hesitant, don't be, the knowledge you will gain is something you can keep for the rest of your life and the rest of your trading history.

Don't hesitate. Give the GOAT program a try. You will not be disappointed!

Cheers!

For over 20 years, I traded without any formal training, and it always felt like something was missing. Listening to Felix on his YouTube channel helped me realize there is a healthier, more disciplined way to approach trading. Having an experienced mentor is the fastest way to learn a proven path that avoids catastrophic mistakes.

The goal of joining the GOAT Academy is to build a personalized rules-based trading system by tapping into the wealth of knowledge that each coach brings. I am already amazed at how many expert skills I have integrated into my workflow including:

Market Sentiment and Direction Analysis
Sector & Industry Group Strength Identification
High Probability Trade Setup Screening using both Fundamental and Technical Analysis
Portfolio Risk Management
Automated Position Entry with Stop Placement
Dynamic Profit-Taking

Although not yet at Felix’s two hours a week on Sunday, the hard work I have put into learning and optimizing my workflow is paying off bigley. I am so appreciative of Felix, the academy, my personal success manager Ella, and the entire coaching team. The empowerment and confidence I now possess is priceless!

With Gratitude,
Dan

Document and material need to be updated, all are mostly referring to year 2022 - 23

I have been in the A program (with mentors) for three months. I have found the mentors to be good, and I did not use them as much in the beginning but I use them more now that I am comfortable with the goals and techniques of the program. Felix puts out "Notes" on a weekly basis, which by the sheer number can be overwhelming, but other members have distilled these to useful excel type spreadsheets. This is a rather new approach, and I would like to see some coaching on this, and other techniques.

GOAT Academy’s Wall Street Protocol has been a game changer for me. This isn’t about trade calls - it’s about discipline, accountability, and a repeatable system. Trusting the process and managing your risk are key take aways. The tuition is an investment, but the real value it provides is from the access to the coaches. They are the program’s secret sauce. These are experienced traders, in all time zones, who hold you accountable and give you clear, actionable direction in one-on-one calls.

If you’re just looking for stock tips, this isn’t the place. You’ll hear trade ideas, but the real benefit is learning to analyze setups, understanding the process, and executing a plan. Risk management was my biggest breakthrough as it smoothed out my equity curve in just two months. Gone are the emotional rollercoaster days of feast-or-famine trading.

Even before joining, I used insights from the free 15-minute training to earn enough to cover tuition. Since then, my consistency and confidence have grown tremendously. If you’re serious about trading and ready to put in the work, this program has been worth it for me and already paid for itself.

its super usefull. They answer everything what you may ask.
Was not concerned about the success, but changed my mind after the first week. They give way more info than you can absorb.
My portfolio is overall up +10% for 2.5 months

The Goat Academy has been a great experience so far. Working with my coach has given me valuable insights into my trading style and his advice so far has proven useful. I’m happy to say that my portfolio is up 30 percent over the last 2 months. I have learned great strategies to mitigate risk and ensure that my portfolio stays protected and steadily growing. Its also a great group of people to be connected with. Thank you Felix and the Goat Academy!
