If you go into the options room thinking someone is just going to give you signals and you are going to make money you are just not getting what you paid for!! Because of Scott and Mike and others in other rooms you get the tools to take your financial and trading ability to another level. I'm doing things I never would have dreamed of doing before.

You do not need to know ANYTHING about stocks or Options to learn to trade options
These guys teach, all you do is learn. You do not risk a dime till you are ready. No broker to take commissions everytime time talk to them. PROSPER TRADING ACADEMY teach you they are not Brokers. If you ever wanted to trade stocks or options this is the place to learn for a reasonable price at your own pace/
I have been this training for several weeks now, I can truly say Prosper Trading Academy will show you the exact steps you need to take to find "Success."

Wonderful support and insights
The interaction with the traders and support staff is excellent. Traders respond to questions in short time. In addition, all questions are answered regardless of the level of understanding of the students. Over the last 18 months, I have had occasions when I have had to step away from the academy due to emergencies. The staff has been very good to help me get back up to previous levels. I would highly recommend Prosper.

The best trading resource I've found
I’ve been an active trader for about 18 years. Most of my trades and learning came from various trading publications, and were primarily based on fundamentals. About 5½ years ago, I joined the stocks room of Trading Advantage, the predecessor to Prosper. I wanted to learn more about trading on technical signals, by doing actual trades. Six months later, I joined the options room as well. The profit on my 2nd option trade was 2.7 times the amount I paid for that membership, so I concluded I was in the right place. I learned how to trade spreads and multi-legged options, which I knew little about previously. I found that the instructors not only teach you how to trade their particular specialties, but they also teach you the discipline necessary to do so successfully. They provide in-depth explanations, and go over the lesson until you understand it. They not only answer any and all questions you have, but they make sure you understand the answer. They are very knowledgable and experienced traders themselves, and are frequently on the business TV channels. As teachers, they are among the best I've ever had, regardless of subject. I would recommend Prosper Trading Academy to anyone who wants to learn to trade any market, or just make some extra money to supplement your regular income. If you just want to do the trades, without participating in all the classes, you can do that too.

I retired early at age 58 and needed a part time job.
I retired early at age 58. I had been trading stock options for years with limited success, but enough success to know that trading stock options had way more earning potential than a job being a part time greeter at the local Walmart... LOL (Walmart stock ticker symbol WMT) I guarantee you I have already made more money trading WMT stock with Prosper Trading Academy than I would have actually working there. With Prosper, you can take the program as far as you would like. Just learn how to place the trades that they send out to you, or learn how to trade like a floor trader. There is a level for everyone with Prosper. If there was a 6th star I would have clicked on it. I can't recommend them highly enough...!!!

It's been a pleasure working together and tackling the market action. If there were 6 stars on a 5 star scale for AWESOME customer's we'd click it for you Scott!!! Thanks again, we look forward to having you in Chicago soon (hopefully this summer)! - The Prosper Team
