I have no regrets since joining Prosper Trading over a year ago. Scott Bauer, Mike Shore and Charlie Moon are three of the best teachers you will find. They are very patient and kind and will never hesitate to answer and explain even the simplest of question. I have been consistently making money using their teachings.
The Best people and staff you will find anywhere

Best Option Trading Academy...Period!
Usually I dont write reviews however I decided to take some time and say few things about this wonderful company. Prior to joining Prosper Trading Academy, I had already gone through 4 different programs/schools and had spent a lot of $$$ trying to understand trading Options (I was not interested in Futures or stocks). I had given up and thought this is not going to work. Then I found Prosper Trading Academy and decided to give them a chance. All I have to say is look no further - If you want to understand how Options actually work and be profitable, this is the place!! Prosper and their teachers (Scott Bauer, Mike Shore and they have others too) are the best. Scott's style of teaching is just phenomenal. He takes his time to explain all the different moving parts of Options trading. Mike Shore is just a great teacher and human being. Mike will take his time to answer all the questions no matter how basic they are. Hope you find this review helpful.

Lots of information, lots of value. Very professional service. Will take your investing game to new levels.
I was very skeptical at the beginning about this company. There are a lot of scams and a lot of "get rich quick" schemes online. But when I was originally contacted by Mr. Shubak what I immediately noticed is that no "too good to be true" promises were made. On the contrary, Mr. Shubak was very honest and straightforward about what to expect and was very clear about what type if product I was getting. He emphasized how investing has inherent risks. In fact, Mr. Shubak offered me to participate on a Zoom presentation with Mr. Bauer before I finally decided if I was doing business with them. I can't emphasize this enough, he didn't had to do this. He actually went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with what I was purchasing. During the Zoom presentation with Mr. Bauer, I was sold. Scott didn't made ridiculous claims about absurd gains, didn't boast, didn't gloat and didn't came off as some of those investing know it all online super gurus. On the contrary, he was very honest about how difficult the past year and half have been because of how crazy the market has been, and was very straightforward, again, about the inherent risks that come with investing. But despite all this, Scott Bauer very thoroughly broke down how he was able to use his methods to turn profit most of the time. It is not easy to learn this stuff on your own. And this is precisely to type of honesty, in my opinion, you should be looking for when trying to find guidance regarding investing. Can you become a millionaire in a couple of months or less? Sure, there's many people that have done it. It is possible. But how many more has lost substantial amounts of money on so called "YOLO plays" and other high risk investments? Go on Reddit and you will see no shortage of plain reckless investing behavior. It is not good. Can you become wealthy in the mid to long term investing in stock, Options, Crypto, etc? If you know what you are doing, very likely. The way I approached investing before I joined Prosper was very conservative. Not risking more that I could afford to lose, not buying into only hype and actually do some DD on the companies I was putting my money in. I started trading right when the COVID pandemic market crash happened. I started very small investing in companies that would very likely make a comeback. Did fairly decent. Did also some Crypto trades. Did very well. Then after 8-9 months after I started looking into Option Trading. I made some money, but I was learning on my own so the wins were not that impressive and I did had some losses buying/selling Naked Options. My problem was that I was learning all of this on my own. I have a job and other responsibilities so it was very hard sometimes to get the correct answer to my Options Investing questions and make progress. That all change once I signed with Prosper. I started with them on 10/22/2021. At the time I was trading on a $21,000 account. I had to constantly worry about not getting flagged as a pattern day trader and I wasn't really sure about what I was doing with Options and it took me forever to find companies I wanted to invest in. Fast forward to just about three weeks, on 11/21/2021 and I am now trading on a $26,700 account and I am a lot more knowledgeable about investing. I was expecting results, but not this quickly. I bought a year's access to three of their programs and Signal Rooms: 1.Options Volatility, 2.Cryptocurrency and 3.Options Income and Long Term Trading and man is there A LOT of information. Like... A LOT. Tons of information and weekly presentations about different related topics. Lots and lots of information and resources. I am super happy with my purchase. The best thing, in my opinion is that these guys actually teach you. Is not just trade 'signals', the real value here is what you can learn if you have the motivation to read and read and read and really listen to what these guys have to teach. My only regret is not joining sooner. I would've saved so much time and money. Not to mention the stress of investing while learning on my own and risking my money before I joined Prosper.
I really recommend anyone that is serious about investing long term and anyone hungry to get more knowledgeable to consider joining Prosper. This is NOT a "get rich quick" scheme, though. So do not be expecting that you'll get access to the Investing Holy Grail. If anyone promises you access to it, run the other way as fast as you can. No one has a perfect method to predict exactly where the market will go. What you can do is manage your risk and learn technical analysis and other skills to stack the odds in your favor. And that's precisely what you'll learn if you join Prosper Trading Academy.
I am planning on doing another update in approximately 5-6 months. As of now November 2021 I am extremely happy. Happy trading, everyone and best of luck.

John Myrick Testimonial
I had taken the basic Investopedia day trading course and it was okay but I needed something much more comprehensive; I needed a course into which I could really sink my teeth. I needed to have more instruction and personal interaction with instructors and fellow traders on an ongoing basis. So I sent Prosper Trading Academy my contact information. Mike Philpot called me and was very patient. with all my questions and my FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) . I told him I wanted to sleep on it which I did. I called and registered the next morning. Somebody called to make an appointment to give me a virtual tour of the "online campus". He called on time and spent an hour going over all the materials available and where to find them on the site. Then we toured the signal rooms. And off I went. After watching some of the videos and reading through some of the materials, which included very good readings on psychology, school philosophy and trading discipline
I started going into the signal rooms. The foundations room is for beginners and has an introduction to the various courses, Options, Momentum Stocks, Penny Stocks and Wealth Management. So when I dropped in on the Momentum Stocks with Charley Moon I noticed that the banter in the room sounded very much like my inner monologue when I was trading at home except a lot of the concepts and strategies being called out were new and more sophisticated.
Just as important as the material being learned about charts etc was the affirmation I received being among people trying to reach the same goal. There was a sense of camaraderie. No it’s not the same as actually being in a room with real people but it was better than having no feedback, no shared ideas, no light banter. It gives me grounding whereas otherwise I really was adrift without anybody to check with my theories and hunches. Most importantly the people at Prosper are available. They return calls, show flexibility. The little Investopedia course was 5 hours of video and additional print materials but it had zero opportunity for interaction. I recently rented my house in a complicated rent to own deal and asked that my course be suspended while I finished moving and negotiated with the tenants. Mike Philpot my “go to guy” was accommodating and extended my registration. I’ll pick up where I left off after the closing.

From an old school floor trader
I am old school named trader, I have spoken to many of these kind of companies and within 2 minutes of speaking to Doug, I knew this was different. I could sense a little hesitation in his voice at first but when we connected there was so much he did to benefit me and I can’t thank him enough. Charles as well I had the pleasure to speak with 1 on 1 and again same result. This is one of the better strategies and they seriously make it where you get out what you put in.

I've only been with Prosper for a short…
I've only been with Prosper for a short time. I'm so stunned at there commitment to help new traders. Customer service has been great, emailing Scott with questions has been great and the turn time on a time sensetive question was outstanding. Charley and Marty are great and I can't wait to further my time with these pros.
I will tell you this. I never write reviews but this company deserves it.
Thanks so much.
