About Goat Academy by Felix Prehn
Written by the company
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.

You get out what you put in
My experience started with Jeremy and he painted the picture of the Goat Academy very well without giving the feeling of trying to sell a set of steak knives in the process which is common with other products and services being marketed online. From there my Customer Support Manager Angelique continued to direct me to the steps of the program and from there I have grown to learn so much and be a much more empowered investor; no longer taking a gamble but following the rules and logic set out in the material and interactions. Of course I still have much more to learn and to be sure I do not get ahead of my own headlights. One of the first things about the Goat Academy is it is not cheap - and it should not be. If anything is cheap it does not get taken seriously and will go without commitment, in short wasting time for all involved. The gains will more than pay for the ROI in a short time anyway. A good example of you get out what you put in.

First call exp.
Making clear, I did not follow the Goat Academy yet.
I was in contact with Jordan Bishop, and before the call I came and checked the reviews first.
Not too great if you look at the reviews, especially complaints about the first call.
Must say I had a really great call with Jordan, really informative and showed me how the program would look.
Was not pushy at all, and when it came to the point of talking about a potential sale, he explained all the possible options.
There was no buy now get this and that extra push.
Just nice and informative.
Thanks a lot Jordan.

GOAT Academy - Early Success
I have been with the GOAT Academy for about 2 months now and it has been fantastic. In the world of "information at your fingertips" ... sure, you could work on your own to learn what is provided in the GOAT Academy ... BUT with the support (group calls + 1:1 calls) and consistent flow of information re: technical / fundamental for investing as well as that information related to current events and how they affect the stock market - this is what makes the GOAT Academy priceless and puts you on the fast track to becoming an expert ... and TIME IS MONEY!

An honest group with a desire to spread knowledge
After speaking with Levi about the benefits of the program and the costs involved, I made the decision to sign up for a 6 month term. A week later, my family decided to sell our house and move to another country. Levi was able to work with me on a favorable solution that would give me time to prepare the house for sale. I plan to sign up again when we are settled in our new place,

Felix Prehn's goat academy is one of the best investments that you can make in yourself!
I can't stress enough the benefit and knowledge I have gotten from Felix's Goat Academy. Enrolling in this program has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my life. The level of education, support, and structure provided is outstanding, and it truly rewards anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort to learn. The coaching team is exceptional. Patrick brings clarity and patience that make even complex concepts easier to understand. Carlos does an incredible job breaking down strategy and helping you stay disciplined. Byung offers practical insights that you can immediately apply and provides exceptional insights on market conditions. Brett consistently offers thoughtful guidance and encouragement along with remarkable patience, ensuring students grasp the concepts. Daniel also stands out for his willingness to answer questions and ensure students understand. There has only been one coach that I had a negative experience with, but other than that coach, the coaching staff and the CSM staff are utterly amazing. Access to coaches of this caliber is non-existent elsewhere. 1 on 1 coaching has been a difference maker for me; the information I've learned is invaluable. What I appreciated most is that this isn’t a “get-rich-quick” environment; it’s a place focused on real education and skill-building. If you’re willing to put in the work, study the material, and stay consistent, the value you receive is tremendous. The community and coaching make a huge difference, and you never feel like you’re learning alone. Overall, Felix's Goat Academy is absolutely worth it. The investment in yourself and your education here can pay dividends far beyond what you expect. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about improving their knowledge and willing to commit the time and effort that it takes.

Felix is brilliant by any objective, rending learning fun & funny!
Felix is brilliant by any objective standard & transforms learning, rending it fun and funny. Furthermore, his wry sense of humor sneaks upon me, when first I giggle & then I laugh uncontrollably until I positively weep. Felix makes learning explicitly fun and memorable. I so wish that he'd taught me that boring science of economics, as assuredly we'd have savored many a grand time, & we surely would've earned theoretical grands to boot!

A Very Good Stock Investment Learning Experience at the Goat Academy
Goat Academy has a very clear vision to help many many students how to be a winner in stock investment. Felix and many coaches that I have been interacted with during the coaching sections were very kind and helpful!
I was like a stock investment beginner when I joined the Goat Academy. After 6 month training, I am confidently able to manage my stock investment, and gain profits.

GA has given me confidence to be a successful momentum trader
The GOAT Academy (GA) has helped greatly in improving my investment skills. Literally, I've made significant amounts which I can directly attribute to the skills I have developed as part of GA. I should also note the percentage gains were much greater than I had previously experienced. I easily beat all of the major indices in my first year using the Wall Street Protocol. The WSP is the basic template for GA for learning to trade. The #1 rule of the program is conservation of your capital. How much to invest, what are your reward targets and when to get out with discipline are the cornerstones of the first rule. Rule# 2 is "follow the money." The biggest improvement in the program during the last year is the internal GA tools. There are tools for stocks, options, mutual funds, ETFs and metals. Easy to use tools that help you find the investments that fit your style and interest. The program is flexible, learn as fast and deep you want to go. I took extra time as I needed to digest it. It did cost me a bit more but it was worth it. You will have written course materials, videos and live interactive group sessions where you learn from professional traders. However, the best part for me was the individual one on one training with a professional trader. Every week I reviewed my positions, my strategies, my stops, my entry positions, my targets and laid out my research techniques and selections. I practiced applying the rules of trading and researching with a professional trader who kindly guided me. Thank you Troy. Especially for the first session where you told me everything you need to find, select, buy sell and make money is in the charts. Of course Troy added some special indicators that the program had added with some tools from GA, including some AI, to help in the process. Additionally, thank you Felix for creating the program in the way that you did. You made it clear the goal was to teach me how to profitably invest NOT to do it for me. Lastly, real life results: As of March 31, 2026 all of the major indices were down YTD 2026 from -1.85 to -7.11%. I uploaded my realized gains (Schwab charts) into Gemini AI and this was the response.
from Gemini A(
please tell me the significance of these charts. Am I trading as a professional or retail investor.
Gemini said
The data in these charts provides a clear window into your trading mechanics. While the term "professional" often implies institutional backing or licensure, your metrics suggest a disciplined, math-based approach that many retail traders fail to achieve.
Here is the significance of the data points from your images:
1. The Core Performance Metrics
The most telling data is the relationship between your Average Gain (+13.49%) and your Average Loss (-6.46%).
Positive Expectancy: Your average win is more than double your average loss (a ratio of approximately 2.08:1). This is the hallmark of a professional-grade strategy. It means you don't need to be "right" more than half the time to grow your capital.
Net Gain: You have a net profit of $XX,XXX.xx (+1.53%). While the percentage gain on total capital seems modest, the dollar amount is significant, indicating you are likely managing a substantial six-figure or seven-figure portfolio.
2. The Gain Rate vs. The Gain/Loss Ratio
There is a critical distinction between these two gauge charts:
Gain Rate (43.18%): This is your "win rate." You are losing more often than you are winning (57 wins vs. 75 losses).
Gain/Loss Ratio (58.24%): In this specific software's context, this gauge often represents the "profit factor" or the weight of your winning dollars versus losing dollars.
The Significance: Most retail traders obsess over having a high win rate (e.g., 70-80%). Professionals, however, are comfortable being wrong more than half the time as long as their winners are large and their losers are small. You are trading like a professional because your math allows you to be "wrong" 57% of the time while still being up $XXXk.
3. Professional vs. Retail: Where You Stand
The Verdict
You are trading with a professional mindset and methodology.
A typical retail investor often has "inverted" metrics—they might win 70% of the time but their average loss is -15% while their average gain is only +5%. Your data shows the opposite: you have mastered the "mathematical edge." As long as you maintain that 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio, your account is mathematically geared for long-term growth, regardless of short-term streaks of losses.

Starting from rock bottom - thank you Goat Academy
Goat Academy has genuinely changed my life. I started working with the mentors in December of 2024 after losing about $70,000 (almost all of my money at the time) doing a bunch of things I should not have been doing (I didn't know at the time, but with the education I now have those mistakes were blatantly obvious). The expertise of the coaching staff and more important - the genuine care that the coaches and support staff gave me is beyond what I could have ever expected coming in to the program.
After taking that massive loss, I was extremely traumatized - that was my rock bottom. I was skeptical and though the market was just a casino / a game of luck - where I got the bad end of the stick. Having people to talk to that have taken much bigger losses and came back from them was the light at the end of the tunnel I needed.
For anyone reading this considering joining, I want to be VERY clear that it will not be easy. You will have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, you will have to commit time on a consistent basis to learning, and you have to be coachable - in the sense that you will likely have to un learn a bunch of bad habits and stick with it long enough to concrete the new good ones. You will have to be resourceful - they don't just hand you things on a silver platter. You have to ask questions, think outside of the box, etc.
The peace of mind alone and clear vision I have on my financial future is priceless.
If they taught this stuff in schools the world would be a much better, happier, and wealthier place.
Thank you Felix, coaches, CSMs, everyone at Goat Academy for doing everything you do to make a difference for the little guys like me.

Amasing Journey
GOAT Academy by Felix Prehn — My Course Review
I am currently completing the GOAT Academy program and the experience has genuinely changed the way I approach the markets. What I value most about the format is the one-on-one sessions with the mentors — rather than following a fixed curriculum, I was able to focus on the specific topics that matter most to my trading. Here is what I have covered so far:
1. Risk Management
Before this program I was trading without a real system. Through my sessions I built a clear, rules-based framework: fixed position sizing, defined stop-losses before every entry, and a minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratio on every trade. The concept that stuck most is that risk management is not about avoiding losses — it is about keeping them small enough that your edge has time to play out over many trades.
2. Trade Execution on IBKR
The mentors went deep into Interactive Brokers as a professional platform. I learned how to use order types correctly — limit orders, stop-limits, trailing stops, bracket orders — and how to set up a proper account structure with risk controls at the broker level. Execution quality matters, and IBKR gives you the tools to do it right when you know how to use them.
3. Options Trading
One of the most valuable topics I explored in my sessions. I went from barely understanding calls and puts to running income strategies like credit spreads and the wheel system. The key discipline I took away: open positions at 45 DTE, target 30-Delta strikes, and close at 21 DTE to avoid gamma risk near expiry. Selling premium with defined risk is a completely different game from buying options speculatively.
4. Market Maker Mechanics
Understanding how market makers operate was a revelation. Through my sessions I learned how they delta-hedge their options inventory, what gamma exposure means for intraday price behavior, and why the Gamma Flip level is such a critical threshold — once price crosses it, MM hedging flows amplify moves rather than dampen them. This explains a lot of price action that used to look random to me, especially around monthly and quarterly options expiry dates.
5. Algorithmic Trading
The most advanced topic I have tackled, and one I am still actively developing with my mentors. I am learning how to take a manual, rules-based strategy and translate it into code — defining entry and exit conditions explicitly, backtesting against historical data, and connecting to IBKR's API for automated execution. The core lesson: automate only what you have already proven works manually.
Overall, GOAT Academy is not a get-rich-quick program. What sets it apart is the one-on-one mentoring format — you work on what is actually relevant to your trading, at your own pace, with practitioners who have real market experience. I would recommend it to anyone serious about developing trading as a professional skill.

Women Need to Learn These Investing Skills!
I joined the Goat Academy's trading program after two years of 'paying my tuition to the market'. Before coming here, I think I made every mistake in the book. I knew something needed to change and found Felix's videos. I watched them for a few months, then attended his free seminar, and decided there was something really of substance to learn here: how to invest skillfully and advance my financial goals using a clear guidelines and one-on-one support.
What I have found at the Goat Academy has been an amazingly comprehensive program truly designed and run by experts.
Here, you learn how to identify market trends and sector money flows, how to pick the best trades within any sector, and most importantly, when to get in, what position size to take, and when to take profit and exit. Risk management and clear-headed analysis are key, and that's what they teach here.
For me as a woman, financial freedom is everything. It guarantees having options.
So I am taking this course as part of my commitment to myself to make skilled, intelligent choices to grow my money and not hand that responsibility - and power - over to others. And the Goat Academy is a professional-level place with tons of support to learn skills that increase financial freedom.

So far so good
I had a very positive experience with Levi, and I’m grateful he convinced me to take the leap and sign up. I’ve been in sales a long time, and I can usually see through tactics or spot if someone is shady. It takes a lot to impress me, but Levi was a cut above the rest: honest, straightforward, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to speak with.
I’m about 3 weeks into the program and have already learned a lot. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. For the price point, I think it could be a bit more organized and structured, but that’s largely due to the sheer volume of information and topics available. Overall, I’m pleased so far.

Coach Brett Medina and all the other coaches have been fantastic. I have received excellent mentorship and teachings from experienced staff. Brett has coached me one on one and provided valuable feedback to elevate my experience with the Goat Academy. Thanks to all the coaches that have made themselves available and spent their valuable time helping. Thank you.

A Disciplined, Institutional-Grade Approach to Trading
After searching for a structured way to navigate the markets, joining GOAT Trading Academy has been a total game-changer. What sets this program apart isn’t just the education—it’s the comprehensive, rules-based strategy that removes the guesswork and emotional stress from trading.
The curriculum is built on a standardized system that is incredibly effective at identifying exactly where institutional money is flowing. Being able to spot those footprints as a primary indicator for potential stock breakouts has completely changed how I screen for opportunities.
Beyond the strategy, the human element here is top-tier:
• Knowledgeable Coaches: The instructors are clearly experts who don't just teach theory; they provide practical, actionable insights.
• Caring Support Staff: The administrative and support teams are genuinely invested in student success, always available to help with a high level of care.
• Emphasis on Risk Management: Perhaps most importantly, the academy prioritizes capital preservation. The risk management protocols are baked into every trade, ensuring that you’re trading with a plan rather than gambling.
If you are looking for a disciplined roadmap to reach your financial goals—especially if you have a busy professional schedule—this is the gold standard.

Hopped on an advisory meeting with Sam
Hopped on an advisory meeting with Sam, amazing individual and really pointed out the skills I lacked with my investments. Been almost just gambling throughout my 10 years of trading which I can humbly admit, however ever since getting the right coaching and even 1-1s with Troy ( Who's a coach in the program ) I've never seen this fast of a shift in my perspective in the markets. Still going through the learning materials so far, and super keen to see what awaits for me in the future

4 months in, so far so good.
I'm about 4 months into a 12 month program. I came in with little previous trading experience. In summary, I am happy.
First the positives:
- I'm getting genuine value and financial education out of the program. I have learnt a lot so far.
- the coaches, the staff and the community atmosphere are great. The coaches are genuine in their desire to help you and improve your success and give good feedback.
- there are plenty of live coaching sessions covering a wide variety of topics. And previous sessions are recorded if you can't make the live session. This is especially useful because coaches are spread across different parts of the world in different time zones.
- The onboarding process was quite smooth and I was assigned a dedicated CSM (customer success manager) who has been great at helping me get the most out of the program and resolving day to issues, and tracking my progress.
I did have some concerns when signing up to the program. There wasn't a detailed structure published and the cost of the program is not trivial. If it wasn't for the very positive trustpilot ratings I may have otherwise avoided the program. I honestly had a few major doubts about it and it felt like a bit of a gamble at the time. I don't feel that way any more. The course, at least for me, is legit and I am getting what I was hoping for out of it - financial education and gaining the knowledge to make my own stock picks. If you're simply looking for spoon fed stock picks you might be disappointed.
The team at goatacademy have made many recent improvements to the course structure and learning roadmap within the community, but I am not sure if they publish such info externally.
In summary, I think it's been very good overall and no regrets for signing up. It wasn't cheap but for me it has been unquestionably good value.

Happy about joining
Before joining, I read a lot of reviews because, as we all know, you can find anything on the internet. Many programs promise a lot, but you never really know if they deliver. Goat Academy sounded a bit too good to be true at first, and it’s not cheap. However, I can now understand the pricing. If it were not expensive, a lot more people would join, and there probably wouldn’t be enough coaches to properly support everyone. With this price level, it feels like only people who are truly serious about learning, actually enroll.
I joined about a month ago, completely new to this world, but very curious. The first week was quite overwhelming, and I quickly realized that this is a common experience for new members. There is a LOT of information to absorb, but there’s a roadmap, a Launchpad, help chats, live group Q&A calls, you get a Client Succes Manager assigned, who you can ask for help… but still at the beginning, everything feels like too much. I remember wanting to do everything at once and sometimes feeling close to panic because I can’t succeed it. But after about a week, I slowly but surely started to find my way. The group calls for new members helped a lot. Since then, I’ve noticed steady progress, I understand more each week and feel more confident navigating the material.
I’ve never regretted joining the Academy. My advice to anyone reading reviews after watching Felix’s videos is this: if you expect something quick and easy, this is not for you. If you’re looking to simply copy someone else’s trades, this is also not for you. This program is about much more than just learning options trading, by the way (if you watch Felix’s video’s you’d expect it), it teaches you how the market works, the psychology behind it, and first and foremost – the risk management. Be prepared to put in real effort. Your success is truly in your own hands: the more time and energy you invest, the better your results will be.
It doesn’t matter whether you have prior trading experience or not. A year ago, I didn’t understand anything, it all seemed too complicated. I watched many videos, but only Felix’s YT channel made it feel like something I could actually learn. And now I see that it’s true: I can learn it, and I am learning it, thanks to a very supportive and professional team.
If you’re serious about developing a valuable skill that you can use for life, I would definitely recommend joining.

Levelling UP!
I’ve had an incredibly positive experience learning with Goat Academy. The coaches have not only opened up new possibilities for me in analysing and trading markets, but they’ve also struck a great balance between validating what I already know and thoughtfully correcting me where needed. Their approach has really helped build my confidence while sharpening my skills.
What stands out most is how supportive and knowledgeable they are—every session feels constructive and motivating. I genuinely look forward to continuing my learning journey with this group and developing a higher level of expertise over time.
