The goal at Target Trading Academy is to simplify the concept of Futures Trading by creating a rules-based methodology and risk management strategy.
This is taught through a rigorous multi-level, multi-facet training program that includes live classroom, live trading rooms, trade reviews and more, to effectively create one result:
Trading, Simplified.
The Target Trading Academy program is one of the most comprehensive futures trading program in the world. It is tiered, with movement from level to level based on successful application of the techniques at the level before.
By graduating from level to level, students are able to begin with the basics, learning simple entry and exit strategies on a live simulation, and move to more complex strategies for profiting more and risking less. With graduating levels of mastery, the program is suitable for entry-level beginners just learning the market, as well as a “masterclass” for professional traders and those professionals managing portfolios.
Live Trading Rooms
The core of the Target Trading Academy education programs are real-time, interactive, online classrooms.
Most days, during trading hours, Students are in Live Trading Rooms, where students are looking at live markets and learning live, with instructors teaching live, both through the methodologies and signals. The students are able to interact with the instructor instantaneously, talking through entries and exits, and reviewing execution for perfection.

Real-time Classrooms
There are also scheduled classes at various times throughout the day. Classes are scheduled for your convenience before, during and after the market, so you can attend whether you have to head off to work, or are busy making dinner for the family. The classes are generally focused on methods and techniques, to be executed during trading hours in the Live Trading Room.
Most students initially learn on simulation traders against the market until they are comfortable trading live. As our classrooms work with live markets, many of our students, even professional traders, continue to stay in our classrooms throughout the trading day for the ongoing market commentary and directions.
Classrooms have set times but are recorded to be rewatched, and are based on your skill level and area of pursuit.

Campus Library
Students can prepare for the online classrooms by visiting the Campus Library. The Library houses all of the knowledge of terminology, theory and baseline know-how needed to successfully trade, in a simple easy to understand blend of videos, graphic explanations, and reading material. The Library is also an important reference throughout the learning process to reinforce the already learned methods.
The Library is open 24/7, and the most recent material is uploaded on a regular basis to keep the content fresh and on point.

Mentorships & Tutoring Programs
The Mentorship & Tutoring Programs are unique to Target Trading Academy altogether. It was developed to not only help students overcome their own personal struggles and master the methods, but also to develop their own personalized methods and strategy.
There are two types of Mentorship Programs. Group Mentorships are small, intimate classrooms, where students learn both from the instructor and from fellow students who have more experience (similar to a teaching assistant). Individual Mentorships are one-on-one sessions with your instructor, where they walk you through the methods, helping fix the weaker aspects of your trading.
Mentorships are used by beginners to get a faster start. Professionals use Mentorships to fine-tune their trading game, and to learn new techniques and new markets.
Mastermind Events & Fly-Ins
The Fly-Ins and Conventions put on by Target Trading Academy are something completely unparalleled - the peak of the experience. Meet and trade with the instructors live, as well as meet your classmates in person - the same crew you chat with every day. Eat, drink and sleep trading for 48 hours - you will never see trading the same way again!
