What is The Trading Cafe?
The Trading Cafe is the mother brand for an education infrastructure that is changing the way that people learn to trade. Underneath it, we have two institutions: The Trading Cafe and The Trading Academy.
The Trading Cafe is a free education hub designed to provide people with a safe place to learn how to trade the financial markets and improve both their short-term and long-term wealth-building mechanisms, at no cost. When we created The Trading Cadfe, the idea was to create something so valuable that people would want to spend $10,000 on it, but instead, we would give it away for free.
This came out of a deep frustration with the trading and financial education industry which, for years, has taken advantage of people’s desire to learn by charging exorbitant fees while offering little genuine value. Many people have been burned by these systems. So we wanted to build something that fundamentally delivers more value than most paid programs ever do.
The Trading Cafe has over 50,000 members and is funded by our paid education infrastructure The Trading Academy.
The Trading Academy is a highly structured, organized, and systematic method of learning to trade the financial markets from multiple trading instructors, not just one. It’s designed to be the best platform on the planet to learn to trade.
Our core philosophy is this: we help people build skill. A lot of people today are looking for an AI bot that trades for them, or for someone to just give them trades to copy. But that doesn’t actually build independence or long-term success, that’s not a real solution. In fact, that approach is fundamentally a scam.
Humans aren’t going anywhere, and so our mission is to help people, humans, develop their skills to a higher standard. We do this by transforming how they learn to trade and build their wealth. Our goal is to guide people toward mastery. We help them become highly skilled traders who can operate independently and consistently.
What Makes Your Offering Unique?
That’s a tough question, because our approach does things very differently to how our competitors approach things. We don’t worry about what they do, we focus on making what we do the best it can be.
I think our first principle is that we put the growth of our students first, before profit. This comes before everything, and impacts every decision that we make. We want our students to be highly skilled at trading, and so every decision we make puts this first. I think most financial “gurus” focus less on how to help people and more on how to make money from them. Our approach switches this around. Yes, we do have paid elements to what we do, but our students’ growth always comes first and we heavily reinvest into our free and paid structures.
The second thing is the team that sits behind our infrastructure. We have two main groups of people here. The first group is a group of trading experts. These are individual expert traders that have a proven track record of trading the financial markets with success. This wide group of instructors (we have 6 different trading instructors), allow us to provide a deep level of education that covers every topic of trading necessary for success. The second group is passionate, actually obsessed, with education and helping people learn. When you combine a group of expert traders with a group of expert educators, you have a recipe for success, and this is what we are seeing with us here. We are seeing remarkable progress, from students of all walks of life that went from knowing nothing about trading, to trading the markets with success.
The final thing is our actual structure. We have a paid method of learning with us, and a free way. Both are incredible. But more importantly, the structure we teach, actually works. We have seen students from all ages, backgrounds and genders shift into a place of high skill. We invest heavily into our support team, our platforms and our education mechanisms so that people actually learn.
Lots of people will sign up to a course, and never actually study. That’s not the case with us. People that start, actually see it through to the end. Our focus pivots around learning the right way, so that someone can actually build the skills necessary to be successful over the long term. It’s not just what we teach, but it’s how we teach it. That’s at the heart of what makes us different.
How Has Your Approach Evolved Over Time?
When we started out on this adventure, the biggest question was: how. How do we actually teach people how to trade?
Over time, our approach has evolved to serve our students better, even when it meant making difficult decisions.
As we’ve gone deeper into the process of educating different groups of people, we’ve gained a clearer understanding of the challenges they actually face, challenges that normally would have stopped them from reaching success. We’ve developed better technology, stronger curriculum structures, and more effective teaching methods all focused on removing as many barriers as possible to student success.
Every evolution has been focused on one thing: giving our students the best chance possible to progress, build skill, and truly succeed.
What Can We Expect from The Trading Cafe in the Future?
We’re in a very unique and rather bizarre position. We’ve created a mechanism that churns out profitable traders. We do believe that this is quite unique in the industry and so we’re going to capitalize on that.
We’re doing two things.
First, we are doubling down on improving our education. Our mission is to create the best institution on the planet to learn to trade, and the only way we can do this, is if we put more focused effort into helping our students grow. We’ve consistently done this, and we will continue to do so.
Second, our education systems are unique. They actually create traders that can be trusted with capital, and so the natural evolution is for us to provide them with capital.
So, outside of our free and paid education, we are in the final stages of creating a legal structure that allows investors to grow their wealth far beyond the standard investment options that are available. Likewise, this fund will provide our traders with access to capital so that they can use the skills they’ve developed
This will create a complete infrastructure that creates professional and trustworthy traders, while also providing investors with a method of growing their capital.
Our goal is to make a difference.
Make a difference with how people learn, trade and invest their money.
We believe that genuine skill lies at the heart of this, and our mission is to put forth every effort to build highly skilled traders and provide them with them and external investors a way of building their funds.
