Frequently asked questions
What is included in the membership?
The membership is $14.99 per month. It includes Signal Desk (stock research and options paper trading with performance and risk analytics), 4 AI journal reviews a month (free accounts get 1), the trading tools and simulators, lesson progress tracking and PDF downloads, and the private Discord community. Every lesson is free for everyone, and the trading journal is free with a verified email, with or without a membership.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel anytime from your account settings.
Is anything free?
Yes. Every lesson in the course is free for everyone, and the trade simulator, compound interest calculator, word search and crossword are free to use without an account. The Options Swing Helper indicator for TradingView is free too.
What is options paper trading?
Paper trading in Signal Desk lets you practice selling puts, covered calls and spreads with a simulated account. You can start with a preset size from $5,000 to $250,000 or enter your own amount. No real money is involved, and you can review your results with performance and risk analytics.
Is the course available in Spanish?
Yes. The site, every lesson and the tools are available in English and Spanish, and you can switch languages at any time.
Do I need trading experience?
No. The course starts from the foundations of financial markets and option contracts, so you can begin without prior experience.
How does private tutoring work?
Private tutoring is $160 for a one-hour, one-on-one live video session. It requires completing the Option Trading Course first, because tutoring covers whatever was not clear once you have gone through it. Contact us to book.
Is this financial advice?
No. Everything on Academia Trade is educational. Paper trading results are simulated, and nothing here is investment advice.
Are all the lessons really free?
Yes. Every lesson in the course is free to read, in English and Spanish, with no account and no card. The trading journal is also free with a verified email. The membership is for the tools around the lessons: Signal Desk, more AI journal reviews, progress tracking, PDF downloads and the private Discord community.
Why pay for a membership if the lessons are free?
The lessons teach you; the membership lets you practice and review. Signal Desk gives you real option chains (about 15 minutes delayed), a Trade Check and an options paper-trading account that risks no real money, and the free trading journal shows how your own trades are going. You can learn first and join only if the tools are useful to you.
