The team at Prosper Trading are top notch, from Mike Shorr, Charlie Moon and Scott Bauer in the signal rooms to the great support from Carl Senne and Scott Chilcoat. Always patient, attention to detail and always willing and ready to help when needed. Well worth the cost of admission, this is the place to be if you are willing to learn how to trade stocks and options.

Great Trading Experience and learning platform
Ray was outstanding a guy with over 15 years in the industry and I have been investing with other retail outfits but this firm is clearly head over shoulders in the trading industry.

Best Trading Program in U.S.A.
I signed up with Prosper Trading Academy last October and can honestly say it has been one of the best investments I have made. I began my journey with just some basic knowledge in stocks and options but in a short time with the help of the PTA educational platform and guidance by the coaches, who are elite professional traders, I have been able to learn to trade like an expert. In my opinion, your getting a million dollar education for just a small investment. Unbelievable! The instructors at Prosper Trading Academy and the staff are not only transparent but some of the finest people in the industry that you will ever meet. They are always helpful, patient and respectful and will assist you in understanding the correct process so you too can become successful at trading. One of the most important lessons you will learn at PTA is proper risk management. They will literally teach you how to get out of a trade when its turning against you and show you how to set up your trades to minimize risk and maximize your profit. Don't worry they always get back to you with any questions or concerns you may have. The live signal rooms are exciting and can move quickly so you need to do your part and really make an effort to learn, take notes and ask lots of questions so you can eventually set up your own trades, like I do now. Keep in mind that not every trade is going to go your way, that's just part of the business. You need to accept the fact, that there will be days when you will crush it and other days when you may incur some losses its just part of trading. So don't get discouraged along the way or blame anyone. Also If you are new at trading I suggest simulation trading and not live trading your 1st month until you get comfortable navigating the platform. I highly recommended this program for anyone who has an interest in trading stocks, options, or cryptocurrency, is new at trading, is a beginner or even if you are very experienced. There is always something new you can learn each day. Scott B and his team have built and incredible program and platform to help regular folks like you and me learn to trade like professionals. Make an investment in yourself this year, Don't let this opportunity pass you by, it can change your life as it did mine. You will look back a year from now and be glad you made the choice to invest in your financial literacy.

I started trading in May of this year…
I started trading in May of this year and am up over $13000 which more than paid for my subscription. I have subscribed to other services and had significant losses. This is the real deal with good education and service. It is so good I just upgraded to a lifetime subscription.

The Real Deal
No scams here, this trading academy is the real deal! I've seen Scott on CNBC before and never expected him to be so hands on and available with the students. He's a work-acholic that's always analyzing and adjusting the best possible options trades. I was also very impressed with my sales rep, Marty Lile. He actually diagnosed my trading needs better than I did myself. Long story short, he was trying to steer me to my strengths all along and was able to adjust and customize my signal room access on the fly before it was too late. 5 stars across the board!!

Don't want to miss out
After deciding, I wanted to learn how to invest my own money instead of trusting it to a commission based sales person. I joined several schools or paid discord groups while also watching videos, reading trading books, and articles, to speed up the learning process. When I watched one of Prosper trading program strategies and met with one of the Prosper trading team. I joined and could not be happier with all the services provided. Class sessions are recorded and stored for students to be able to go back and follow the live signals even when they can't be in class during trading hours that they may have missed while being busy with everyday life. The entire Prosper team uses live data and pricing models when teaching how to construct trades that are highly in our favor, using several strategies. The learning is interactive with each of the main classroom teachers, assistant teachers, and other students of all levels. The Prosper team sets you up for success with everything someone will need to rapidly increase their portfolio value while gaining knowledge that can produce enough extra $ like a second job or even a new career. Every day, all the live scenarios are monitored while being taught how to safely hold or adjust each position. The learning with live charts and positions is proof the strategies work, and it's not a false promise bc the proof of the teaching is in the profits and % increase everyone's accounts grow. I'm not saying every trade is a winner, but the winners to losers ratio is very high and compounded with a high reward low risk is a very fast way to grow any beginner to extremely seasoned traders. The school even helps with setting up a trading platform, with the goal to get enough knowledge and experience fast enough to get a credit line attached to your account. Being on a tight budget myself, it's another of many tools that can dramatically explode even a small account, for anyone else on a shoestring budget. The live signals are sent in multiple ways to assure all instructions reach each student, even when you can't follow along with the class during trading hours. (always go to the class recorded session on each play) The school sends out plug and play links to all the items on their personal screens explaining what knowledge and favorable info to confirm the trade scenario. I can't say enough about Prosper Trading, and I really want to thank Scott B. and the Team for showing me a way to help provide for me and my family, when learning how to be successful didnt seem possible. I know everyone is busy, but having some extra income always seems to free up time to learn. If you're still thinking, I'm to busy to follow the signals and learn the strategies offered from Prosper trading with all the resources. Would you be to busy to find a way to use the extra income that can easily be generated????? I'm sure everyone that got a stimulus check found some time to figure out how to use that extra money the entire time they waited for the money with every check that was sent out. I know I had my checks spent 10 different ways once hearing about them, and I'm glad I used mine to join Prosper so that money made several other extra dollars instead of just spending it on something, and it was gone. With the signals and knowledge, I can pull a stimulus check out of my account all the time, but I would rather it compounds in my trading account for those bigger items that were out of my stimulus budget.

Quick mention on Mike Shorr's room…
Quick mention on Mike Shorr's room which is Short Term Options (STO). I have only been trading with Mike for about a month now and I have definitely found a niche. Mike seems to be able to keep losses small and profits high. Sometimes when I seem to be down for the day on a bunch of small losers, Mike picks out a home run that reverses all the losses. It's pretty a pretty fast-paced room and you have to be on your toes but my hats off to Mike for being a great coach and helping my bottom line at the same time!

Fantastic Webinar/Training
I paid for a ticket to attend Scott's webinar recently and was blown away by the amount of content he packed into it. Most trading webinars I have watched tend to be just fluff and nothing more than the traders talking about themselves. Scott's on the other hand was filled with things I had never heard of before like the expected move (which was a big eye opener for me) and some of his really cool option spreads like the calendar one. He was also a really fantastic and patient teacher even with many people in the comments trolling him for no reason it seemed (which was really rude in my opinion). He also did his best to answer as many questions as he possibly could at the end (mine included). I plan on joining Scott and the team at Prosper Trading very shortly once I get the wife on board!
