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.

CORE Strategy
It was my second time taking the course. I was able to pick up and understand the materials much better the second time around. It was great to be able to get different perspectives on the same materials from different instructors.

First time taking professional options trader class . I appreciate Larry ‘s teaching method, he is able to simplify the lesson so it’s not as complicated.
I’m not sure if I would do this type of asset because I’m trading with my self directed IRA ‘s LLC.

Everything is 100% up to par with every expectation I could have dreamed. I only wish the price was a little easier. However, the cost was worth what I’ve received in return.

“I had a great experience with this trading academy! As a complete beginner, I was a little nervous going in, but they made everything so easy to understand. I learned so much in a short amount of time, and I’m already excited to start applying what I’ve learned right away. Highly recommend for anyone just getting started!”

Futures with Bill H.
Futures with Bill has been great! He moves at a pace you can keep up with and he’s very thorough in his breakdown of applying Core Strategy to the Futures market. Know that you’re in the room with a legend who has passion for teaching trading. You’re in good hands.
Addendum after reflection: In my interaction with the male assistant on the last day, I learned that I do best with clear structure and pacing before adding nuance. At times, the way information was layered felt indirect and became a distraction from staying grounded in the material.
In contrast, with the instructor and the female assistant, I found it easier to stay engaged, and I also do better in environments where my preferences—like how I’m addressed—are acknowledged.
Because of that, I’d choose learning spaces that align more closely with that style. That’s what allows me to stay present and fully take in the material.
