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?

10/10 Highly Recommend
The Trading Academy has been very helpful in getting started as a trader. From the very beginning with the one day introduction to the 3 day Market Timing and now through the Core Strategy Class everything has been seamless and very easy to follow. The instructors are very knowledgeable and easy to understand. My experience has been great and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to learn the correct way and take trading seriously. The knowledge I’ve gained so far, I feel is worth the money. I feel that I’ve invested in myself and have no regrets.
Best Futures Class Ever
As reported previously, this was the best course I have taken at TA over the past 7 years. This was my third retake, and the new material combined with the logical flow was the best Futures class I have had. Thanks the to great team at Trading Academy.
For a first time learner of what trading in core strategy is.
It's great that they are giving you the basics and telling you that your emotions and how you use them is very important. The Teacher Ms. KELLY TOOK HER time and made sure we understood the work the best should could and the class was from age 14 to 80.

The instructor proceeded at a somewhat slow pace, which was great for beginners. He wasn't hesitant to go over some topic if a student didn't understand it.
All in all, a very good basic class to start one's trading experience!

Well
Well, instructors should pay attention to details, small detail will make big difference between winning and losing. I think, Kelly was able to deliver that.

Very Low Value, Very inconvenient, Education not easily applied
Not worth the money. No convenient class times, like on the weekends for busy professionals. Class are only scheduled mon-Fr, which makes it almost impossible for a working person to do. The class pace was very slow. The instructor got bogged down with too many technical things such as measuring strength and time and other very minor details instead of just teaching how to put an order in and then letting the class just practice that. We didn't actually put a order in until late Thursday. The class was unruly and there were constant distractions from the students, phones, going off and constantly leaving and coming back in. Alot of people didn't have basic computer skills. I wish we did a dry run on Monday or Tuesday just to put an order in and then back fill the details. The instructor had a terrible attitude of the class being too hard to understand and there will nothing but frustration and you have to come back and take it again. I thought the whole experience wasn't worth it for the money that's getting charged to you.

After many years of trading like the 90%
After many years of trading like the 90% and going through multiple trading systems and a ton of cash,
Your core program changed my entire mindset and
knowledge base that has helped me refine my approach to trading and is allowing me to trade with a more robust and simplistic rules based system,
Also the daily access to live professional instructors
as well as in person sessions with them is priceless.
The pool of instructors and their daily input is the most amazing asset within your program.
Thank you for this.
Tom

Brock is great when on topic
Brock is highly skilled and a good teacher when he stays on topic. Too many times in sessions 1 through 7 he would wander off for a long time(we learned all about how his dog reacts to visitors and how he deals with it). It’s annoying. Sessions 8 through 10 were brilliant.

I really learned a lot and I really appreciate the kindness from everyone. I know this is the beginning but looking forward trading based on Core Strategy rules!!! I am applying what I have learned in class. I really appreciate the patience from the Instructor. He managed to take time and answer everyone’s question even though some were repetitive.

My experience with Trading View has overall been good, but I have had issues along the way.
My experience with Trading View has bee good. The amount of information received in a weeks time frame can be overwhelming, but I do understand the process. I have had to call the support desk for help and I was able to talk to someone but they told me I would receive a call back. Getting called back and sometimes take a while. I also had problems with getting into a class for my Trading Plan which I still don't have and my next class starts in 4 days so I'm concerned about that.

OTA Are ROCK STARS!
I am very pleased with OTA! Everyone has been transparent, forthright, and extremely helpful and accommodating when the need arose. I thoroughly enjoyed Brock Pierce at the Core Strategy class. I was impressed with his style of instruction. He was little fast paced for my little over-thinking/over analytical brain. But I certainly understand the need! There is A LOT to cram into one week! Thanks, Brock! You are a ROCK STAR!!

Simply The Best
I love the Trading Academy for the continuous trading education they provide. Where no question ever goes unanswered until you get it. The trading education is constant with the ability to advance when you are ready. It's one of the best trading education companies I have found and I have tried quite a few.
