developed specifically for you, the new trader.

We have assisted, studied and learned from thousands

of traders to date. It is as a result of this fact coupled
with our backgrounds and proven trading ability that
we have a unique insight into firstly why so many
traders fail to meet their expectations. It also means we
can help them not only mitigate potential losses, but
also increase their potential future returns.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to gain

from our knowledge and experience. The amount of
financial pain and time invested in self-education is
huge. Other trading “educators” will offer multiple
course-based approaches, which are often twice as
expensive as ours.

It is for this reason that we do not offer a ‘level’ or

‘tiered’ approach with regard to our educational
courses. We have designed this course to cover all
aspects of financial trading techniques. All that remains
is application, and we will support you continuously
throughout.

Three core facts separate the Academy of Financial Trading from all other
educational providers. Firstly, we come from proven trading industry
backgrounds. Secondly, in addition to our institutional trading industry
experience, we have privately traded live funds profitably for several years,
and always will. We know exactly what it is like to trade you own assets,
and we will provide you with the opportunity to learn from our real-world
experiences. Thirdly, we have a wealth of experience educating and assisting
individual retail traders. Having all of our expertise would be useless if we
did not know how to relay this knowledge to the new or inexperienced
trader, something which we have perfected. Having studied thousands
of traders’ techniques, we have learned many lifetimes’-worth of trading
experiences.

It is as a result of these core facts that we have become leaders in financial

trading education. We understand why traders fail all too often, but we also
have a unique insight into how we can help them.

We strive to provide concise, comprehensive courses without the need to

attend multiple “levels” with increasing price tags to reach greatness. We
also guarantee to provide on-going, comprehensive support and assistance,
so you won’t feel lost once you enter the “real world”.

Additionally, all traders who attend one of our courses can attend the same
course for free as often as they please. This ensures you will have access to
the most up-to-date information and methods around. Trading can often
leave you feeling isolated and confused. This unique offering means it no
longer has to be, and will help you immeasurably throughout your trading
career.
