Time Does Fly

As we are in full swing of this year’s holiday season, we realize that yet another year is coming to an end. It’s amazing how time truly does “fly”. Sometimes we are so eager to rush into the new, that we forget to relish in the triumphs of the year and the growth we made together.

Providing twenty-six years of financial education and services to our students has been richly rewarding for our teams both at the local center and at the corporate office. The year 2023 was a year of expanding key industry partnerships to better support our students, offering them additional platform and broker choices as they pursue their goals through trading and investing.

During 2023, platform partners including TradingView and OTA Trade (provided by IVest+) were introduced in the classroom and made available for personal trading accounts as well. In addition, the brokerage Tradier was introduced to students looking to open equity and options trading accounts.

Beyond trading platforms and brokers, additional partnerships were established with Equity Multiple – a real estate crowd investing organization, and Advantage Gold – a (physical) precious metals full-service agency.  Both firms give our students the ability to expand their portfolios beyond trading the financial markets.

The year also introduced 3 brand new Focus courses including; Discover Digital Assets and Crypto, Bonds-The Canary in the Coal Mine, and Seasonal Trading – Mastering Futures Spreads, bringing our Focus library to nine courses giving our students the ability to take their education deeper into specific topic areas that now include Crypto, Futures, Bonds along with several Options Focus courses.

It's amazing to think that another year has come and gone, and how quickly our most precious commodity, time, passes us by. It’s been said, “The ending of a year is like closing a window. Even though it is shut, fresh light will still shine through.” That fresh light is the promise of a new year, a fresh start! Our team is excited about the coming year as we continue our mission to deliver innovative new products and services for our students. We are thankful for each of you, our students and we wish you and your family happy holidays and wonderful new year!

Warm wishes,

The Trading Academy Team
