About Goat Academy by Felix Prehn

Written by the company

After working as a lawyer and an investment banker at one of the biggest law firms and banks in London, Hong Kong, Felix Prehn got tired of the aimless corporate grind that forced him to prioritise his work over his health and relationships.

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.

If you are serious about learning new skills you won't regret joining Goat Academy

It's only been 4 weeks since joining, and I would say my journey has been more or less flawless, so far. The initial great marketing exercise by Felix himself, via the free You Tube seminars, bythemselves,are already top class information. It surely led me to seriously consider joining the academy. Yes, entry is pricy, for us average Joes n Janes, but having jumped into the deep end now, I consider myself lucky to have come across such an opportunity to learn a new skill set. The whole academy set up, the methodical step by step approach, the underlying philosophy of the founders, access to (former) professionals in the field, it all makes for a solid, compelling package, and I'm certain that the skills I'm learning here will be a lasting foundation stone for my fututre trading endevours.

My experience with Goat Academy has…A High-Caliber Investing Program Backed by an Exceptional Team

My experience with Goat Academy has been overwhelmingly positive, and what truly sets it apart is not just the methodology but the strength of the team behind it. The program continues to evolve in meaningful ways, reflecting a commitment to constant improvement and real-world relevance. While Felix’s Wall Street Protocell methodology provides a strong and structured foundation, it’s the broader coaching staff and support team that elevate the entire experience—offering diverse trading perspectives that complement the core system and help students find their own edge. Equally impressive is the student management team, which is highly responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in student success, making the learning process smooth and engaging. Overall, Goat Academy delivers not only high-quality trading education but also a professional, supportive environment that consistently exceeds expectations.

My experience after 4 months at the GOAT Academy

I looked over a number of reviews at different rating levels and was surprised how different some student’s impressions were compared to mine. Although I did notice a number of reviews were from people who never became a full Goat Academy student.
My experience at the GOAT Academy has been outstanding. I thought I had a good level of understanding of the stock market prior to joining. It didn’t take me long to realize I had only scratched the surface of understanding.
First, the live GOAT Academy lectures are just outstanding. There are many parts that I have found very useful, and here are a few that stand out to me:
1. Even though topics are repeated, the opportunity to ask questions live and look at the current stock charts of various stocks makes each lecture somewhat different.
2. The coaches give the lectures. I’m amazed how much work they put into the lectures and how well they condense the information and distribute it.
3. During the lectures, there is time for live questions and chances to review stock charts as a group.
4. Many of the coaches include giving us google sheets and docs with calculations, and ways to follow, track our results, evaluate stocks financially, calculate stop losses, screen for potential breakout stocks, etc.
5. The coaches put a lot of effort into their slides and make them available to us regularly. They make every effort to answer questions for us and even offer to make an appointment through the GOAT Academy website for further follow-up.
6. During the lectures, there is time for live questions and chances to review stock charts as a group.
Second, I think the coaching is absolutely critical.
1. The chance to review what I’m doing with an expert coach, and ask questions about specific scenarios in trading, screening, risk management, entrance and exit strategies is better than it was described to me before I joined.
2. Being able to review technical aspects of charts, learn to identify breakouts and optimal entry points, how to manage difficult situations one-on-one are just amazing.
3. It is true that each coach has a different way of looking at things, so the coaches although they teach the breakout method of stock entrance, also trade options in many cases and also use other methods as well. I think that diversity in styles of trading and teaching are actually a benefit and not a drawback.

4. I’ve worked with a number of coaches over the last few months and each one of them has provided great advice and feedback on any questions I have had. I haven’t been disappointed with a single coach (or lecturer for that matter) in any way.
One might think that choosing the right stock is the most important task to learn. But the real answer to success (at least in my opinion) is developing good risk management strategies on every trade. This means planning my entrances, my trade size, and my exits prior to the trade. From day 1 of the GOAT academy, risk management is emphasized again and again. One of the coaches reminds us to “feed your family first” and “live to fight another day” when a stock fizzles out. I had never placed a stop loss or planned exit order prior to entering the GOAT Academy. Now I NEVER purchase a stock without having both an entrance and an exit plan.
Re Felix’s Watchlist: Every weekend we get Felix’s watchlist. More important than getting his watchlist to find out which stocks to invest in, is to use Felix’s list to learn what characteristics of the stocks and the characteristics of the stock chart that caused him to put them on the list, and then spending the time to see which ones really broke-out. You also can use his list to see where he put his entry points and stops. Even when I don't invest in one of his recs, I check out the entries and stops.
Coaching and lectures on screening: During coaching and live sessions, I have found it invaluable to learn the process of screening, specifically looking at sectors and industries, and technical chart features involved in finding stocks that are close to breaking out or breaking out. The GOAT Academy Coaching and lectures reinforce the importance of learning how to screen for potential breakout stocks without having to depend on Felix’s list alone.
If these things weren’t enough, I have found the lectures from coaches who were market makers to be fascinating. The world of market makers hedging with options and dictating when buying and selling occur is a world that I had no understanding of until the GOAT Academy. Twice a week, we discuss this topic in live lectures.
The GOAT academy teaches its students to be successful not just during the academy, but prepares you for trading and investing after the academy. I'm grateful to the Goat Academy for the opportunities to learn under great teaching so that I can provide for my family's future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this—your detailed perspective really means a lot.

It’s great to hear how your understanding of the markets has evolved since joining. That moment of realizing there’s a deeper level to learn is something many students go through, and we’re glad the program has helped you build a more structured approach.

We’re especially happy to hear how valuable the live lectures and coaching have been for you. The ability to ask questions, review charts together, and learn directly from experienced coaches is a big part of what we aim to deliver, so it’s great to see that coming through in your experience.

You also touched on something we emphasize heavily—risk management. Developing the discipline to plan entries, exits, and position sizing is a game changer, and it’s great to see you applying that in your trading.

We also appreciate you pointing out the value in learning how to think independently—whether that’s through the watchlist, screening, or understanding different strategies from different coaches.

Thanks again for being part of the Goat Academy community—we’re excited to keep supporting your progress.

Wishing you all the best,

I came across Felix's youtube content and followed it for about a year before overcoming my skepticism and giving the academy a try.

I'm sorry I did not sign up sooner. The academy staff are always available and responsive, and genuinely want to see you succeed. The academy has changed my perspective on investing, and its making a real difference. Overall, signing up has been worth it, and I would stay on longer if I could.

A positive Goat Academy experience…

My experience with the Goat Academy has been extremely positive. The coaches are highly knowledgeable, all coming from strong trading and investment backgrounds. They are supportive and bring a calm, practical approach to navigating the markets, often complemented by a refreshing touch of light humour.

One of the biggest benefits for me has been learning to think like a trader rather than simply an investor, particularly when it comes to risk management. This shift in mindset has significantly reduced the “gambling” element of trading.

I joined the academy already in profit after nearly two years of trading, but I quickly realised that a large part of those gains was down to luck. Since then, I’ve developed a more disciplined approach: reducing position sizes, diversifying across sectors, and gaining a clearer understanding of when to buy and, just as importantly, when to sell.

The coaching and training are well structured, with clear, real-world examples that make it easy to apply what you learn in practice.

Overall, it has been a great experience and a worthwhile investment in both my trading skills and financial mindset.

I am really pleased to hear how the shift in mindset from guessing to structured decision making has made a difference for you, especially around risk management. That is a huge step and often the one that changes everything long term.

It is also great to hear the coaches have had that impact. We are very deliberate about bringing in people with real institutional experience, from former hedge fund traders and investment bankers to portfolio managers so you are learning how the markets actually work rather than theory alone.

Wishing you continued progress as you keep refining your approach.

All the best,

Money doesn't grow on trees, but you can learn how to grow it yourself

Unlike the many recycled strategies and courses found across various social media and YouTube channels, the GOAT academy leverages the Wall Street Protocol (WSP) to decrypt institutional money flow and market liquidity.

Engaging the 1-1 coaching allowed me to dig deep into my specific psychological barriers while refining my technical edge. Alongside these private sessions, there are regular group calls covering a wide range of ideas, strategies, and analysis, as well as general Q&A. The coaches cover different time zones, and all the sessions are recorded, so if you can't make it when it was live, you can watch the recordings at your own time and pace; ideal if you want to stop/start and take notes! There is a newly revised Options trading course available as well as the WSP.

If you are seeking to move beyond the noise of retail speculation and adopt a professional framework, this program provides the necessary technical information, teaching and community support. You have to invest in yourself to give yourself the best possible chance of growing your wealth and improving your future prospects. Money doesn't grow on trees, but you can learn how to grow it yourself - start your journey with the GOAT academy and its members.

I really appreciate you sharing this. You have summed up exactly what we aim to build here, moving away from noise and towards a clear, professional framework that you can rely on.

It is great to hear you made the most of both the one to one coaching and the group sessions. Having access to coaches across different time zones and backgrounds, from Wall Street derivatives specialists to experienced portfolio managers, is something we put a lot of focus on so members can always find the right fit for their style.

You are absolutely right as well, this is about investing in yourself and building a skill set that lasts. I am glad you are seeing the value in that.

Wishing you all the best on your journey ahead.

Great Coaches!

The coaches in the Goat Academy all have significant experience in the markets, and each brings a different perspective as to what has made them successful traders. For example, I was able to meet 1-on-1 with Jesus Rodriguez and discuss our backgrounds in the oil and gas industry. Then he shared how his work background led to his interest in trading oil and gas futures.

William, thank you for sharing. Jesus has a great ability to explain complex strategies in a practical way, which is something many students really appreciate when they are developing confidence. His background in both engineering and finance brings a very analytical but clear approach to market structure and strategy. I am glad to hear you are enjoying his sessions.

Alongside coaches like Jesus, you also have access to daily live sessions & recordings so you can continue building your understanding at a time that suits you, step by step.

Keep enjoying the process and attending calls to dive deeper into the strategies. We wish you all the success.

Thank you for the kind words David. I am really glad to hear you are enjoying the Academy and finding the coaches patient and helpful as you work through everything. Learning the markets can feel like learning a new language at first,so having people around you who are willing to explain things clearly makes a big difference.

We try to keep the environment supportive and practical with the daily sessions to ask questions and gradually build confidence. The goal here is simply to help people feel more comfortable navigating the markets rather than feeling like they are guessing.

I am very happy to have you in the community and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Worth taking the plunge

I am a current student. I have been enrolled for approximately 4.5 months now. Having attended many of Felix's webinars, I took the plunge and joined the academy. The first day was a little daunting as I learned to navigate the program. I decided to just attend a lesson and take it from there. As I am based in Australia, I found that I can't attend all the live lessons I want to. However, as the lessons are recorded, I am normally able to watch them overnight. So it is still convenient. As an investor with previous experience I chose to begin with an open mind. I learned so much from coaches Matt, Jesus, Brett and Carlos on how to structure a trading week, each trading day, how to pick winning stocks, when to get out of trades. Since then I have moved onto more advanced coaching with regards to options trading with coaches BK and Patrick. Coach Elliott has been a complete revelation teaching about market structure. I now trade options with confidence having had no knowledge of how it all worked before. There are mentors available around the world to call at all hours. I have used 5 different mentors so far. The one-on-one mentoring I receive from coaches Troy and Andrew in particular has been invaluable, from a psychological point of view, as well as the many hours of guidance they have offered along with friendship has made me very pleased with my decision to join and make a permanent change to my investment profile. Now I will teach my children how to build wealth right from the start of their working lives.

Hi Shaun,

Thank you for such a detailed review and for sharing your journey so far inside the Academy. I am really pleased to hear that you approached it with an open mind and found value across the different coaches and areas of learning.

One of the strengths of the programme is exactly what you mentioned. Students can explore different perspectives from coaches who specialise in various areas of the market. From stock selection and structuring a trading week, through to more advanced work in options and market structure. Many of our coaches have spent years on trading floors, they bring that practical experience directly into the sessions.

The global nature of the community also helps. With members and coaches spread across time zones, recordings and one to one coaching allow students to learn at a pace that suits their schedule.

It is great you are now trading with more confidence and even thinking about passing that knowledge on to your children, that is fantastic to hear.

Keep going strong & best wishes,
Felix and Winston

My experience with GA

I’ve been a GA student since mid-December, and I want to share my honest experience.

To be completely transparent, I was very skeptical before joining the program. It’s quite expensive — at least by my standards — and that made me question whether it was truly worth the investment or if it might be some kind of scam. I had been following Felix on YouTube for a while, and I really liked the way he explained things. He sounded genuine and knowledgeable. After some time thinking about it, I decided to take the leap and give it a try.

My journey didn’t start smoothly. I joined GA during a transitional period, and at first, I honestly felt like I might have thrown a lot of money away. However, I raised my concerns — and I was heard. I was assigned a new Customer Success Manager, and from that point on, things changed significantly for the better. I started receiving proper guidance and structured support. Today, I can confidently say that I’m glad I joined.

There are very good coaches in the program, all with strong experience and deep knowledge. I’ve learned something valuable from every coach I’ve had sessions with. Although the program follows a specific trading approach, each coach brings their own perspective. This allows you to see different angles and gradually build your own strategy instead of blindly copying someone else.

That being said, after three months, I am still far from recovering my investment. With a small portfolio, progress can be slower. But I genuinely feel that I’m improving every day and building the foundations needed to eventually scale and perform consistently.

Here’s what you should expect from this course:

- Strong coaching and structured guidance

- Clear rules to prevent emotions from controlling your trading decisions

- Solid risk management principles to protect your capital

- Screening strategies and technical analysis frameworks

- A professional trading mindset

What you shouldn’t expect:

- A “holy grail” strategy

- A miracle that makes you rich in two months

- Someone telling you exactly what to buy or investing for you

This program teaches you how to build your own framework. The coaches guide you, but the decisions are yours. You must put in the effort.

On top of that, I especially appreciate Elliot’s weekly sessions. He reviews the past week, discusses what to expect in the coming one, and brings wisdom, patience, and rationality to the table. His approach helps cool down emotions and reinforces disciplined decision-making.

Overall, GA is not a shortcut to quick money — it’s a structured learning environment for people who are willing to put in the work and think long term.

I really appreciate the transparency here Filipe, especially sharing that you were sceptical at the beginning. Quite frankly, I would be more worried if people were not sceptical when it comes to anything involving money and markets.

I am very glad to hear things improved once you connected with your Client Success Manager and started getting the structure and guidance you needed. That support is there exactly for that reason, to help students navigate the Academy and make the most of the coaching available.

You also summed up something important that we try to repeat often inside the programme. There is no magic formula or miracle trade. The aim is to build a framework, develop discipline and learn how to make decisions with a clear head rather than emotions. The coaches bring different perspectives and experiences which helps students gradually build their own approach rather than simply copying someone else.

And I am pleased to hear Elliot’s sessions have been helpful. He has a great ability to keep things calm and rational when markets decide to behave like a caffeinated squirrel.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and I wish you continued progress as you keep building those foundations.

All the best,

My experience with Goat Academy

My experience with Goat Academy

I joined Goat Academy to learn more about investing and trading, and my experience has been positive.

The coaching structure includes both junior and senior coaches. In my experience, the junior coaches focused more on explaining the fundamentals and how the academy approaches the markets, while the senior coaches shared broader insights based on their own experience.

I also took part in some 1-to-1 sessions, which were useful because they were adapted to my current level of knowledge.

This has been my personal experience so far.

Benefits

In the mid 1970s, I majored in finance at a top-tier graduate business school. We were taught to make investment decisions based primarily on a detailed analysis of financial statements. Industry performance was downplayed. Stock charts were only used for after-the-fact review, strictly to measure historical results. We learned basic option theory, but more sophisticated instruments like spreads were barely referenced. Frankly, when attempting to apply this guidance throughout the following decades, I never had good results. For a few years, I even taught evening classes in finance and accounting at local colleges, so I could see that the recommendations presented in later textbooks failed to evolve much beyond what I had originally learned. Since then, I've looked around for practical alternatives, including scanning through YouTube channels. That's where I discovered Felix; he was informative and entertaining (and I like dogs) so I became a regular viewer.

About three years ago, when I was 70 years old, my wife died after a long illness. Her care had been very expensive, so I continued to work full time. Saving for my retirement hadn't been a priority. Even though I wasn't in the best frame of mind, I subsequently joined the Goat Academy and found both its advice and overall approach to be extremely beneficial. Since then, I've managed to finally retire after more than tripling the balance in my retirement account. I've achieved similar results investing the life insurance payouts that our two sons received.

Finally, s special callout to Hannah Bootes, my assigned Client Success Manager, who works hard to ensure I continually get the full benefit of my membership.

Needless to say, I can recommend this program without hesitation. The peace of mind alone makes it worth the cost.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review and also for trusting the Academy during what sounds like a very difficult period in your life, I am sorry to hear about your wife.

It means a great deal to hear that the structure and approach helped you find confidence again and ultimately reach the point where you could retire.

I also appreciate you mentioning Hannah. Our Client Success Managers work incredibly hard behind the scenes to help students navigate the platform, connect with the right coaches and make sure they are getting the most from their membership.

Wishing you continued success and peace of mind in retirement.

Warm regards,
Felix and Winston

A wealth of knowledge for the taking

The coaches that I have met so far have been great. There are many choices and I am working my way through them. It seems to me that the structure is getting better however I feel that their needs to be a more structured framework going through the classes based on the students knowledge or lack thereof. Over all I am pleased with the progress so far. The one area I lack is finding the right stocks. The screening course is very good that Carlos teaches, I just need to get better. Also Jesus, Matt and Jea have provided me with an abundance of knowledge so much in fact that I have started reading again to further increase the knowledge that I lack. Thank you all for your training and guidance.

I am really pleased to hear you have found the coaches valuable and that you are already seeing progress. When someone says they have started reading again to deepen their knowledge, that tells me the mindset is exactly where it needs to be.

You raise a fair point about structure. That is precisely why we built the 6 month roadmap, to guide students step by step based on their level, from foundations through to independence. Alongside that, Client Success Managers and coaches can help you map out which sessions to prioritise so it feels less like choice overload and more like a clear path forward.

I am glad Carlos screening sessions are helping. Working closely with coaches, especially in position review and screening calls, will compound that edge over time.

Keep leaning into the process.

Wishing you continued growth,

Learn from the professionals.

This is right place to learn how to invest and trade like the professionals. Discipline is the core attribute that you must digest to be successful in the game, the coaches are are great. If you need something just ask and they will help. Ella my CSM was absolutely fantastic.
GOAT ACADEMY is right place!
Felix and the cats are just awesome!!!

What a brilliant review to read, thank you Paul. I absolutely love that you highlighted discipline, because that really is the foundation of everything we teach. Tools and strategies matter but mindset and consistency are what separate hobbyists from professionals.

I am also really pleased to hear Ella looked after you so well. Our Client Success Managers are there to make sure no one feels lost, whether that is helping you navigate the platform, connect with the right coach or follow the 6 month roadmap.

Behind the scenes the goal is simple, give students access to real world experience and daily live sessions so you are learning from people who have actually done it.

And yes, Winston is pretending he is in charge but we all know the truth.

Wishing you continued success,

Overall great experience.

Overall great experience.
The coaches were all knowledgeable and provided several useful approaches to trading, risk management, automation, psychology, etc.
My singular quibble is that the plan was too unstructured to start, though they have been improving that drastically thought fantastic customer services people like Hanna B. I paid for the six months of mentoring and still felt like I could have used more, but that is because I kept trying new things.

Thank you for the thoughtful review.

I am really pleased to hear you found the coaches knowledgeable across trading, risk management and psychology. We have worked hard to build a team made up of experienced full time traders and investors who genuinely care about helping students grow in confidence and skill over time.

You are absolutely right that structure matters. Over the past year we have made the six month roadmap much clearer, with step by step guidance and stronger support from our Client Success Managers to help students stay focused and avoid feeling pulled in too many directions. I am glad you noticed those improvements.

It sounds like your curiosity led you to try a lot of different approaches, which is completely natural when learning. Often the real progress comes from simplifying, choosing one path and sticking with it long enough to build consistency.

Thank you as well for mentioning Hannah and the team. They truly care about the student experience.

Wishing you continued clarity and success in the markets.

I had been out of the market for years…

I had been out of the market for almost 3 years because it seemed every time I put money into the market it would immediately tank, and I would panic and pull back out. I found Felix's videos online and he seemed very reasonable.

After wrestling with the implications of throwing thousands of dollars at a financial education with someone I only knew through YouTube videos, I decided to jump in. The first thing to know is that this is a legitimate financial education program, not just an internet scam, which was my initial concern.

I started learning the "Wall Street Protocol" and applied it with very small investments to see whether it would really work for me. After a few missteps, I found my stride and started making money in the market. Not retire tomorrow kind of success, but it started to give me confidence that I might be able to grow my investments over time and not have to work until I die in my cube at work.

I have seen some mixed reviews on the program, and the honest truth is that the coaches all have different backgrounds as professional investors. This gives them different perspectives on the best way to invest under a given set of circumstances. They don't always give the same advice, but I have found exposure to the different approaches to be helpful. Each approach to solving the riddle of the market will resonate with some people and not others. The trick for me was to find the coach whose goals were most closely aligned with my own - and make no mistake, the range of goals of the students in the program cover a large spectrum. Some people are conservative, and some are swinging for the fences with every investment. Know your comfort level and work within that realm.

Talking to only one coach, who doesn't line up with your preferred path can be frustrating. You can get time with any of the coaches, so just watch their group sessions and see who makes the most sense for you and set up time to talk with them. I see it in the group chats - everyone seems to have a favorite coach and tends to stick with them.

The investment program you sign up for comes with a video library covering the details of that method. This gives you a framework to build on. One-on-one discussions with coaches helps you to fine-tune your approach.

Learn to invest with a plan, not with emotion.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and balanced review. Hearing that you were able to rebuild confidence after stepping away from the markets for so long really means a lot. Learning to invest with a plan rather than emotion is exactly what we try to instil and I am glad the Wall Street Protocol helped you find that footing again.

You also captured something important about the Academy. We deliberately have coaches with very different backgrounds from Wall Street and institutional trading to portfolio management and risk control because no two investors share the same goals or temperament. Part of the journey is exploring those perspectives leaning into the ones that resonate most with you and building a style that fits your comfort level. Our Client Success Managers are always there to help students navigate that process and connect with the right coaches when needed.

I really appreciate you sharing this experience for others who may be on the fence. It sounds like you approached the programme exactly as intended steadily thoughtfully and with respect for your own risk tolerance.

Wishing you continued confidence and progress on your investing journey.

All the best,
Felix and Winston

You learn, what You need.

Moin Moin.
They do know, what they are doing, and boosted my gains to more in 3 months, that, what I had in a year.
Especially useful are the insights on options and Felix' Screeening-Process, as well as the Hedging-Guidance by Agustín, or the Market-Psychology by Daniel, Brett, Byung, and in general by his staff, who do come as professional, as it can get.
Hanna's support and personal management are forthcoming to the degree, that You can say, that she ist heeding my interests as much as her own.
The prices are not cheap, but very much worth the fee/tuition.
_Cheers,
__Michael.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. It really means a lot to hear how much progress you have made here Michael, especially when you came in with experience already. That tells me you truly engaged with the material and the coaching.

I am glad the options insights, screening process, hedging guidance and market psychology sessions resonated with you. We put a huge amount of care into building a coaching team with real depth, from experienced options and portfolio specialists to coaches who excel at mindset and execution. It is also great to hear Hannah’s support made a difference, our Client Success Managers work very hard to make sure students feel looked after and on track.

You are absolutely right that everyone trades differently. Helping students find clarity, focus and the approach that suits them best is exactly what the Academy is about. Thank you for recognising the value in that journey.

Wishing you continued success and strong decision making ahead.

All the best,
Felix & Winston

I'm currently a student of the goat…

I'm currently a student of the goat academy. I came into the academy already profitable as an investor/trader over a 5 year period. I became interested in it by watching Felix You Tube videos. The mentors are great and the program is excellent. Some of my favorites were WSP and individual mentors were Carlos, Elliot, Jesus and Matt. Spent the most time individually with Jae because he really listens to my crazy insights about the market.He is also very good. He would be best for students with experience and focus on medium term trading. Spent some time in the beginning with I believe Giancarlo but I might be wrong about the name who communicated a lot of useful information about my personal journey and the market. There are a lot of experienced great mentors and I have only utilized the skills of a few. One thing you will figure out is that they all trade differently. This helped me to determine that as an eclectic investor/trader from long term, options and day trading, I might need a little more focus depending on the market because sometimes you can't see the forest for.the trees. Felix and his insights are the overall picture or the forest. The goat academy provides you with the mentors or trees that teach you how to trade based on technicals, fundamentals, and their individual styles. BK is also good at overall and diversification.Brett will help with anything you ask. I wish I would have utilized him more in options trading but I still can. The one thing I could say that it would improve the platform is a more individual approach to navigating it since it can be quite overwhelming when entering the goat academy. The platform is definitely always improving to help a new student navigate it. One of the reasons I had joined was because I actually wanted a break for a bit because you can never take a week off of the stock market. You need to realize they aren't giving trades but teaching you how to figure it out yourself which is invaluable although time consuming. Before entering I would advise that you have enough time for what's ahead. If you are a beginner, make sure you allocate enough time. Possibly starting on a vacation from work or have the ability to really dedicate yourself on nights and weekends. If you are experienced, it will still take quite a bit of time to get to the next level.I recommend at least a few days to determine what you need how to navigate it in the beginning. Determine what your goals are and what you need to learn more about before or at least when you enter the program. As a career psychotherapist that has been on hiatus for several years and enjoys her freedom, I havent worked a nine to five in awhile and use 2 cell phones to trade. A reacquaintance with a laptop would have been useful for me before entering. Lol. As a woman that takes care of everything in her financial life and otherwise, I admit I have not utilized this program as well as I could have thus far but it has helped me improve very much by classes and mentor teaching. Even learning about how AI can be utilized by Carlos to gather information quickly in fundamentals, technicals and news. He is also very good at determining whether the fundamentals are there for a stock in which you might be interested. I continue to appreciate Felix and what he does for the retail trader so we aren't blind to market manipulation and to remember the importance of sectors and what's going on in the world. Just based on Felix's brilliant insights and generosity and sharing what is going on with the common man, the goat academy is worth it. However with mentor teaching you get so much more to navigate the market successfully. The platform makes a point of improving to help us on our personal journeys in the stock market.

The program has transformed my understanding

The training and mentoring program has transformed my financial management and really helped me move on my understanding. The material and classes are well thought out. The coaches are really friendly and talented at getting you to learn to trade for yourself. I came into the program hoping to achieve growth of 15% a year to help manage my assets for the future and thanks to the training I have managed to grow 30% in 6 months.

Simon, this genuinely made my day to read. Seeing someone come in with a clear goal, commit to the process and then exceed it so significantly is exactly why I built the Academy in the first place.

Going from a sensible 15 percent annual target to achieving 30 percent in six months is no small feat and it speaks volumes about the work you have put in, not just the material itself. I am especially glad to hear the coaching and classes helped you truly understand what you are doing rather than simply following along. That confidence and clarity is where real, sustainable progress comes from.

Thank you for trusting us with your journey and for taking the time to share this. Keep going and keep building on what you have started.

Warm regards,
