Great information

Great information, but the schedule is difficult for students with full-time employment. Working all day, in class from 6pm to 9pm, getting home around 10pm, it's very difficult to complete homework. I would recommend every other day which would allow the students time to review the information, complete the homework and really absorb the information. There were several students repeating the class, I think there would be less demand for repeating the class if we had an opportunity to fully absorb the information the first time. Otherwise Great experience, the instructors are very knowledgeable.

Experienced Instructors, Serious Trading Education

Trading Academy instructors are serious about trading and they take teaching trading just as seriously. They have experienced traders that know their craft and are ready to impart their knowledge if you are prepared yourself to receive the knowledge.
One challenging thing about the instructors is their teaching style which may not be suitable for every individual but that is why there is more than one to work with. I suggest picking an instructor that suits you best to enhance your learning experience. I highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to learn and come in open-minded and ready to follow instructions.

Each instructor has their own teaching style.

After two months as a student, I've seen that the instructors each have their own teaching style. This is beneficial because people learn differently. I like that we get hands on experience trading and implementing the strategy taught here. Additionally, the community is helpful and encouraging.

I have attended several classes with Jordan

I have attended several classes with instructor Jordan. He has been fantastic reinforcing concepts that I need to understand. The energy and attitude of the whole class has been great. I am very happy that I signed up for Trading Academy. Futures trading is challenging, but I am becoming more and more confident as I learn new things.

Trade management

I had a great week in class and learned a lot about managing trades in a volatile market. Our instructor, Jordan Mathews, did an excellent job showing us how to use Core Strategy to enter trades and stay disciplined when the market moved quickly. I especially appreciated his demonstrations of how to exit a trade and how to recognize when it was time to get out.

I came back for another Futures asset…

I came back for another Futures asset class as recommended by my admissions advisor as this will be the asset I’m gonna be focusing the most based on my goals. My first one I learned a lot but I felt like I was not too confident to go on actual trades yet. I’m so grateful I did as I learned so much this time and I had a lot of “AHA!” moments. I learned so much of the mistakes I’ve been doing at home and now I’m able to eliminate them and have a better risk management as this school is what is really all about! I’m glad I got to be in Jordan Matthews’s class this week! He’s an icon!

Had a really amazing time in class with Jordan in futures. He is a freaking market ninja savant!!!! Love his classes! Never believed I would day trade (I thought it was only for "boys"), but I found out that I have an aptitude for day trading that I would've never discovered without this class with Jordan (In both Irvine and Woodland Hills) Thanks Trading Academy

Jordan Mathews is truly one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure of learning from. His delivery method of the subject matter is exceptional, making complex topics easily understandable. His passion for teaching shines through in every lesson, creating an engaging and enriching learning experience. I highly recommend his courses to anyone looking to deepen their Knowledge in the futures markets.
Very volatile day in the market today and I was able to trade and be in the positive. Just imagine not having the knowledge.

The Futures Class

The Futures class, which I thought would be daunting did the opposite. Core Strategy made more sense and I found myself listening to Jordan Matthews (and Joohong) and nodding along, smiling within, because it made sense in my head. Jordan and Joohonh were the team that held my Core Strategy class, and I am glad I took Futures class with the same instructor. I can't wait to learn more assets and wash all those heresay knowledge from all who got lucky. There is intent and confidence in looking at charts now.
