Your Journey with the Funded Trader Academy

Let's walk through what happens after you join...

You’ll begin with a personal onboarding call with Sterling, where he’ll walk you through every part of the Academy, answer your questions, and ensure you’re fully set up for success.

You’ll get access to a library of practical, self-paced courses created by the same traders who will mentor you live:

  • Volume Profile Course – by Dale
  • Order Flow Course – by Dan
  • Smart Money Course – by Vivek
  • Trading Psychology Course – by Sterling

You don’t need to study them all at once—just start with the strategy that clicks with you. Learn at your own pace and revisit the content anytime.

You’ll receive lifetime access to our proprietary indicators and tools, including:

  • Volume Profile
  • Order Flow
  • VWAP
  • Smart Money


These are the exact tools our team uses to trade over $3 million in prop firm capital—and they’re not available anywhere else

With our help, you’ll create a trading plan tailored to your trading style, personality, and strengths. Sterling will personally review it with you and help you fine-tune it into a practical, well-defined plan you can follow day to day.

Our custom-built trading journal does more than just track your trades. It gives you fast, actionable feedback:

  • Which setups are working best for you
  • What timeframes, instruments, and sessions you excel in
  • Where you're consistently losing money—and what to avoid


It’s fully interactive, intuitive, and lightning-fast. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just clear direction.

Every day, you’ll join one of our head traders (Dale, Dan, or Vivek) in a live trading room. You’ll watch them trade in real-time, explain their decisions, and mentor members on their trades.

You’ll see how professionals approach live markets—and how to apply what you’ve learned through live, real-time mentorship.

Alongside the daily live rooms, you’ll also gain access to our Accelerator Program, led by veteran trader David. This includes:

  • Two extra live sessions per week focused on strategy and execution
  • Live calls where David shares his market outlook, reviews member trades, and answers questions in real time


This extra layer of mentorship is designed to speed up your learning curve and give you direct support from another seasoned expert.

All live trading rooms and accelerator sessions are recorded. You can replay them anytime and review key moments whenever you need.

Our head traders are active daily in the member chat. Share your trades, ask for feedback, or get help when you're stuck—we’re here every day to support you.

Once you're confident in your strategy and consistent in your execution, we'll guide you through the next step: passing a prop firm challenge.

We’ll help you every step of the way—starting with:

  • Choose the right prop firm
  • Understand the challenge rules
  • Get ready with data-backed feedback and mentorship


We’ve helped many traders succeed—and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Getting funded is just the beginning. Our goal is to help you:

  • Stay consistent
  • Manage your risk like a professional
  • Scale your trading over time
  • Treat trading like a business, not a gamble


This is where most funded traders fail—but with our ongoing support, you’ll have the structure and guidance to stay on track and keep growing.

To make your journey smoother, you also get:

  • Private Trader Forum – connect with a focused group of like-minded traders who follow our methods. No spam, no noise—just real discussion and value.


Dedicated Tech Support – quick help with platform setup, indicators, data feeds, and anything else technical.
