Prosper Trading AcademyReviews of prospertrading.com

My learnings taught me how defend my trading account balance while the market has gone through a meltdown. The entire staff is great. With regard to my room leaders: Scott, Mike, Charles and Tae are always responsive to questions and quick to correct misunderstandings. Each instructor has a different style yet they all exude concern for the student's success. It is an understatement when I say listen to what the staff recommends (e.g. starting with paper trading can save you a fortune). If you make a mistake they will try to help you manage a bungled trade. I look forward to each trading day and my only regret is that I didn't choose this as a career.

I have been trading now for a few years, and during that time have been able to learn from some very good teachers. However I must say, that there is clear difference in trading with Scott. Scott is an excellent teacher, and takes his time to make sure his students understand the why behind every trade. His experience as a Trader on the floor of the CBOE are very evident and show in his methodology. In the time I have been with Scott, I have seen a massive improvement in my P/L Look. at the end of the day we are all responsible for our trading accounts and for deciding when to enter and exit positions. For me doing that daily with a 30 year plus veteran like Scott, makes me feel empowered in my trades, and allows me to learn from someone that is excellent at what he does, - Teach others to Trade.

Ray did an awesome job explaining everything in detail so I could fully understand it. I can't say enough about Prosper Trading! Sharon Anderson

I am so impressed with you and your program and look forward to continuing my relationship with you. You make it easy!

I recently joined Prosper trading after a close friend recommended it. I have tried several other trading groups or classes in the past with mixed reviews and more luck than learning. First difference with Prosper and more specifically with Short Term Options was the immediate advise to only paper trade until I felt confident in what I was doing. The online courses took me from a review of option trading all the way into the Greeks! The lead in the room is Mike and hands down has the small guy in his thoughts with every trade advise given. He is very displined in his strategy and that builds confidence in the big picture. I have lost some money early on due to mistakes that I made with TOS and stops not working as designed. I have more than doubled the cost of getting in the program and covering my mistakes. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to learn the right way to trade options! This is not a get rich quick trick but more of an education and experience to let you do the winning trades over and over again. Yes we loose sometimes but we keep the percentage of the loss to a minimum and when we are on the winning side we let them run with tighter stops as it nears peaks. It is fun and exciting and allows me the freetime to do other things In Life besides work the normal 9-5! Thanks Mike and the whole Prosper Team for giving me some freedom!! Mike also publishes the daily tracker showing every trade win or loose so that alone speaks for it self! Not just this year but accumulative from the start of this program. Factual data doesn't lie....

I'm studying Options Volatility with Prosper Trading. I have a few years experience as an options swing trader. I have learned a great deal from Scott Bauer. He's a good trader, but an even better teacher. This is not (only) a signal service. Yes, we learn by executing trades, either paper trades or live, but we have the opportunity to break each trade down to learn why it makes sense, and to do 'what-if' scenarios to anticipate profit/loss possibilities. It seems the more I learn, the more enthusiastic I am to learn more.

Prosper Trading Academy is everything you're looking for if you're wanting to trade options! PERIOD! First, just a brief history. Back in November 2021 I came upon a financial research/publisher. I signed up for a subscription and started trading some stocks from the subscription "trade alerts". Within this same publisher's "family" I started getting tons of emails regarding other subscriptions, one being Options, which intrigued me. I took several weeks to review and try to understand what options even were. I've never traded them before. So I signed up for this option subscription as well. This subscription did give some basic understanding of how options work, via a video, but I felt like I needed more. I only learned about calls and puts. I didn't even know there were other types. This became frustrating losing money AND not knowing why because I was basically just entering trades and not really learning along the way. Anyone can learn how to enter simple single leg calls/puts. I wanted to learn why the stock was selected in the first place and everything that goes w/ it. There was no education, just entering trades from a signal received. This type of service is fine if that's all you're looking for. But wow, I was paying a ton of money to just "follow" a signal and hope. Then I came upon a video of Scott Bauer. I listened to a short video, then signed up for a free "live" event online. Yes, LIVE, you could ask a question and get an answer! This was basically a training class in itself. I took tons of notes and new right then and there, this program was for me. There is no better way to learn then from someone who's actually traded on the floor, learned the ups/downs and all facets of trading options. To me this made a ton more sense then from the other service I already had where I was just receiving signals, and no more than a couple per wk at max. Doug Brown walked me thru the sign up stage and was absolutely wonderful! I had so many questions and he was super patient and made sure I understood exactly what I was getting. I signed up for Options Volatility. Doug could tell I was anxious to learn and therefore explained the Signal Room. Listen, YOU MUST get this option as I've learned more in the last 2 wks with Prosper Trading then I did with the other subscription over the last 3 months! You'll learn from watch/listening as live trade signals are given. It doesn't get any better than this. Here's where is really kicks in....Scott is the ultimate educator, with the patience of Job! If a signal is generated in the room, he'll make sure that everyone know how/why the stock was selected and the signal was generated. Don't take this lightly - this is truly education. I think of the program fee kind of like tuition. There are 100's of videos, from getting started to options basics, signal/strategies, methodology, etc...Take your time and learn along the way. This platform uses TD Ameritrade's ThinkorSwim and there are even videos for this. If you have questions, they have a help line that is the best. They are not just call center CS reps, they actually know about options! I even emailed Scott Bauer w/ some questions. Not only did he email me back he actually called me to make sure my questions were addressed. People, this is the CEO of Prosper Trading Academy! Have you ever had another financial CEO call you back?? That's unheard of. PTA is about education! I know this is a long review, but I wanted to write one to acknowledge just how happy and satisfied I am w/ my program. Do your homework. Learning/earning from PTA is so much different than from another sources that claim they just found or developed the newest and greatest breakthrough trading system. When in reality, they just want your subscription premium. If you're hungry to learn, this is the gamechanger! You WON'T be disappointed, I'm sure not! Thanks Scott and Team!

If you want to be a stock trader, then this is the program for you. The knowledge that the teachers at prosper contain is just amazing. I had no understanding at all about stocks. I mean zero. What i have learned in the past ten months is surprising. They have live rooms that you can attend. I am not able to attend the live rooms. I have been able to attend maybe ten times in the last ten months and yet am still able to learn so much, Because of there great customer service. Scott and Mike you can contact through email and there response time is excellent and there answers are very detailed, and very simple to understand. They also have a customer service line that you can call and they will help you no matter how long it may take, all they care about is that you are learning. I have called customer service many times, most of the time Danny answers and he is always very helpful and respectful. Danny has never in anyway expressed any irritation in anyway, Danny always ends the call with call anytime and glad i could help. Kevin is another person that answers at times. There was a signal that Scott sent out i did not understand it so i sent Scott an email asking for help. Scott sent me a reply and asked for my phone number so he could call me and explain what to do. I was surprised that he would do that because he was in the live rooms. Before he called me i called customer service and Kevin answered and he walked me through every detail step by step. Carl Senne Is another person with prosper that has been a great help to me. I needed help understanding the straddle and a few other things. Carl stayed on the phone with me for close to an hour, not just that he went through every detail until i had it down. Carl would not end the call until he was sure that i understood what he was explaining to me. I have called Carl a few times. He gave me his contact number, when i call, Carl is all about helping as in how is everything and what do you need help with now. Carl is always encouraging. If i can learn from theses traders and not be able to get into the live rooms. I know without a doubt you will learn as well. Scott and his team are out for your best interest. When you become apart of prosper trading you are learning from some of the best traders out there that just want you to become a successful trader. I am very thankful for Scott, Mike, Carl, Kevin and Danny.
