About Us

Stock Trading Academy is an online learning platform focused on delivering superior stock trading education. 


Our story

We were founded in 2013 by three seasoned investment professionals. Their initial goal was to transform everyday individuals into proprietary traders through high impact mentorship. 

In the wake of our program’s success, we expanded our team and designed a comprehensive online course called the Stock Trading Bootcamp in order to make our knowledge universally accessible. 

With our Stock Trading Bootcamp, our goal continues to be to teach our students how to make informed decisions when approaching financial markets and avoid making the mistakes made by novice investors. 

Our company’s management team and operations are headquartered in Montreal, Canada but our instructors, all professional traders, have extensive experience with global markets.
