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.

I'd give it 4.5 stars but that is not an option. Five stars would mean that no improvement possible. Most things can be improved upon. Having the odds enhancer printouts on the first day would be helpful. You can add your own notes to the printouts as the class progresses. Helping to strengthen retention.

On the first day I knew this was the place for me
My experience from the first presentation in February 2026 to present May has been top notch. The staff are kind, considerate and informative and the facility is pleasant, clean and accommodating. I appreciate the student support and encouragement received. My plan is to retire within the year and use the knowledge acquired through the Trading Academy to not only gain but also maintain financial freedom.

100% Recommended
I've been to a few OTA training courses and I can say this was the best one to date. Ed, the instructor, brought everything down to my level so I didn't feel as overwhelmed as in the past. He answered all questions asked and was very patient. The Houston staff is wonderful too. I have an unusual food allergy and they were careful to get me something I could eat the days meals were provided. I highly recommend investing in this program.
