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!

Scott removed me from his paid webinar…
Scott removed me from his paid webinar 20 minutes after it started for simply agreeing in the chat box with another attendee that he was taking too long telling his life's story and wanted to move on to the options training strategies instead. Our time is precious too, and I felt he was actually bragging about himself for way too long. Unfortunately I can't rate the content since I didn't get to hear it.
Response from Prosper Trading AcademyJun 16, 2021
Hi Amy, Mo with Prosper. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me. Scott did not remove you, our moderators did and we issued a refund to you immediately after receiving your email request for a refund. As I described on our call yesterday Amy, we believe it's extremely important to allow for students, who are looking to potentially trust us as their trading educator and follow Scott to learn more about his background and his story. You are entitled to your opinion of course, we do appreciate your feedback, and again, I'm sorry if you feel like we may have failed you this time. As discussed I went ahead and emailed you a full copy of the webinar recording to view at your convenience with instructions to fast forward to your desired section of valuable content so you can learn more behind the methodologies Scott uses when trading options. Please understand the information in the webinar recording will be limited (we can't give all the secret sauce away!) BUT it should open up your eyes and ears to new doors of potential growth trading options with Scott's volatility based approach. I look forward to reconnecting and hopefully working towards a long term relationship with our team!

If you want to learn how to invest and…
If you want to learn how to invest and trade in the stock market whether you are looking for long term investing, short term trading or day trading for income.. DO NOT look any further for EDUCATION.
I will simply copy here an email I sent last night to Mike Shorr (Short Term Options).
Hi Mike,
Just wanted to check in with you.
I did not falloff the face of the earth or the boat and not stranded on Gilligan’s Island! In case you’re wondering!!!
I’ve been using your teachings to day trade those high volume (expensive) options for about three weeks now.. I’m averaging about 50-70% returns and have recovered most of the rookie mistakes (one spread, and two day trade that I did not close = - $14K) those happened early on. For the past three weeks I’m been averaging $8,000/wk profit on a 30K account.. I still have the room open to keep track of spreads etc. (yours and Scotts), but since the options I trade require my full attention and I do not use stops, I have to monitor live (AMAZN, TSLA, GOOGL).
I wanted to THANK you for everything you have taught me, and what I still will continue to learn from you.. I will be back in the room trading soon, just have to meet some of my goals first. I still have much to learn from you and while on that subject, I think what I really now, is more help with identifying chart patterns etc. By this I mean more in depth help. I’m very good and work very hard to identify News (and how it ties in to certain stocks), market trends, sector trends, premarket scans, dark pools, and then use the fundamentals you have taught me along with my chart readings to achieve the level of success I’m having.. Everyone has room to improve. I think what I need is more chart interpretation and reading exposure..
Just wanted to thank you and let you know that I’m still alive! Lol
Cya in the room soon..

Scott Bauer, Mike Schorr, and Charlie Moon are only three instructors that I have had the privilege to work with at Prosper. Scott Bauer is brilliant and a consummate professional and a gifted instructor. The investment I made in MYSELF has more than paid for itself at Prosper.

Ray was an excellent teacher
Ray was an excellent teacher, and patient! Not only did we go over the prospertrading site, and all the training I wasn't aware of. But he also helped me on thinkorswim. He taught me a great deal in an hours time. Oh yea, Ray really made clear how Scott's signals work. Thank you Ray. A well spent hours.
