About The Trading Academy

The academy says its instructors' knowledge was turned into a step-by-step syllabus with instructional education experts, an approach it calls "Zero Gaps".[1][3] Its Quick Win Program is a cohort-based course that runs for 28 days and needs no prior trading experience.[4][5] It includes seven modules of video lessons, 27 practice projects, seven exams, weekly Trade Desk Live sessions, a personal 1-1 education advisor and an AI trained on the academy's live sessions.[4] The program lists Brent Carlile, Alex Morris, Sid Naiman, Denislav Dantev and Simon Pullen among its creators.[4] As of September 2026, it cost $10 for the first seven days and then $390, covering lifetime course access and 28 days of live support.[4] A higher plan adds lifetime access to all of the academy's courses and to every live trading session with all instructors.[5]

The academy also offers free live events, a free community and a free strategy course.[3] Every month it holds an All Hands meeting that invites the whole community to see how it operates behind the scenes.[2]

The Quick Win Program carries a full money-back offer with no questions and no time limit.[4] Its risk notice says trading carries risk and that the program will never ask members to put money at risk in the markets.[4]
