About the Founding Trader Program.
No. The program is designed for beginner to intermediate traders. If you understand basic trading concepts — buy, sell, currency pairs, charts — you're ready. We start with foundations and build up.
Plan for a minimum of 10 hours per week — live sessions, self-study, market analysis, and community participation. This is a serious program. Results require commitment.
Live sessions are held weekly. All sessions are recorded and available inside your portal within 24 hours. Specific day/time is shared on enrollment.
The curriculum focuses primarily on Forex (major and minor pairs). The principles, psychology, and risk management taught apply to all liquid markets.
Graduates who complete the full 12 weeks and demonstrate consistent performance benchmarks in their trade journal receive a direct referral and introduction to our prop firm partner. The specifics are covered in Week 11.
All sessions are recorded — you have full replay access. We strongly encourage live attendance: the Q&A, community energy, and accountability are irreplaceable.
Yes. We offer a 2-pay and 3-pay plan. The program you receive is identical regardless of how you pay.
You graduate. You receive your certificate. You retain access to the community. You'll receive a personal invitation to continue your development through Ace Trading Academy's growing ecosystem — signals, advanced programs, and live trading rooms.
