About Goat Academy by Felix Prehn

Written by the company

After working as a lawyer and an investment banker at one of the biggest law firms and banks in London, Hong Kong, Felix Prehn got tired of the aimless corporate grind that forced him to prioritise his work over his health and relationships.

So Felix Prehn turned to running his own business, but even still he was a glorified employee who had to show up in order to get paid. He turned to trading when he was hospitalised because of a back injury that came from chronic stress and overwork, but the worst part was that it would’ve cost $50,000 to operate on… Money he didn’t have at the time. At that point, his income was completely cut off because he couldn’t punch in the hours to get paid, yet his bills continued to climb.

Having no choice, Felix used his network and experience as an investment banker to learn how to trade from his hospital bed so he could at least make a side income to pay his bills. Before he knew it, within 10 months he had completely replaced his business income (and his previous corporate salary) with the income that came from his trades. So instead of having to wake up early, clock in, and get paid based on the amount of hours he worked… Felix was finally able to wake up feeling like every day was a weekend, have full control of his schedule, and make a comfortable income working a fraction of the hours he did as a lawyer and banker.

In 2020, Felix and his adopted Golden Retriever, Winston, started a YouTube channel called Felix and Friends to educate people struggling because of job loss, hour cuts, and income losses because of the pandemic to create an extra stream of income through trading for a few hours a week

Since then, he’s grown the channel to over 100,000 subscribers and has taught over 9000 students inside of GOAT Academy with his team of ex investment bankers how they can create more freedom, provide better for their families, and live life on their terms by replacing their 40-60 hour work weeks as corporate employees for becoming their own boss and “working” part time hours.

Today, Felix aims to provide real financial education that schools and universities have never provided to over 1 million people so they can stop getting taken advantage of by the corporate and banking systems, and instead, take back control of their time and finances to become better sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, and community leaders.

1-1 sessions with the coaches are fantastic

I am really enjoying my time in the Goat academy, especially the 1-1 sessions with the coaches. Prior to joining I had no experience with trading, only long term investing in funds, this was no issue, they teach from the very basics. There are several live group sessions each day with different themes, there are also open Q&A. Where the program really shines is in the 1-1 sessions with the coaches (optional add-on), I would highly suggest going for the 1-1 package for anyone joining, without it I feel like it would have been a very different experience. They have many different coaches that has different trading styles and background, initially this was confusing as many does not trad according to the main method taught in the course, but eventually I learned to appreciate it as opportunity to learn for traders with different views. It is amazing to be able to learn form people who have so much experience.

Over delivering!

Everyone I have had contact with has been very easy to speak with, listens extremely well and actually cares.
All instructors I have been on calls with are very good teachers, explain well, and break everything into small understandable bits.
Could not be more satisfied. Truly excited each day to learn more.
GOAT Academy’s team and structure are building my skillset for me to be successful long term!

The GOAT Academy is a skill-building accelerator!

I am 3 weeks into this process and it has already surpassed my expectations. Being new to trading, I needed people to help me get oriented. Shout out to Ella (my CMS) for being so helpful in steering me in the right direction. She made sure I had every thing I needed and made some very good recommendations for matching me up with coaches. These folks are good at what they do and they are patient with us newbies. You definitely get out of it what you put into it. Do the work and it pays off. Glad to be a part of the GOAT Academy. Thanks Team

I have really enjoyed working with the Goat Adademy staff and coaching team.

I have really enjoyed working with the team at the Goat Academy. Angelique has been a fabulous customer service partner. She has been there anytime I had a question or needed help. This gives you a lot of peace of mind as a member, especially in this AI agent CSR world. The coaches are also both knowledgeable and helpful. I have enjoyed working with Troy, Mark, GC, Elliott, Jesus, Frederick, Carlos, and others. For someone beginning their trading journey, you can't go wrong, and I highly recommend the team and experience.

I was already a successful but newbie trader, and working with the Goat Academy coaches helped me up my game and achieve a 17% return in 2025. Trading is a lonely business, and having someone to discuss your trades with and to help you improve your skills was worth every penny. Most importantly to me, Felix is a man who means what he says, and there is a unique kindness to the way he helps his students succeed. I cannot recommend this program enough!

Outstanding Financial Education

The financial education you will receive here is first rate! I learned so much from the tutorials and the group sessions, but the highlight for me was the 1 to 1s with experienced, professional traders and investors. There is so much I could highlight, but probably the most important thing I learned was effective risk management. I'm now trading and investing with confidence. Thank you Felix and Goat Academy

Reassuring First Call Experience

I suspect that most people are somewhat nervous about paying a fair about of money to an organization that they only know via the internet. I know I was! Jeremy helped me to settle that anxiety. His demeanor, professionalism, and instantly likable personality was reassuring. No sales pressure, very informative, straight forward answers, and empathetic to potential new clients' concerns. Thanks Jeremy!

I am deeply impressed

I am deeply impressed by the professionalism and standards of the Goat Academy..from signing on to the program all the way to receiving my refund at the end, there was good communication, respect and they honoured their word. Even though the program was not able to offer what I was looking for, and I tried to glean as much as I could, the team kept their promise of refunding the whole payment if I was not satisfied completely and had done all the required work. Kudos. I want to especially highlight my working together with my CSM Hannah Bootes. She is kind, patient, explained everything, even if I asked the same question more than once, and she has a huge amount of knowledge on many topics. Great experience, even though it was not what I was looking for.

The free call with a mentor is a hard sell with a closer

The YouTube lesson offered a free call with one of the trading mentors but its not. What happend is its a hard sell once you get on the call for a course costing 10000USD.
I agreed to try it for a week if they agreed to refund me if I wasn't happy and they did.

The selling style made me very suspicious of the company so I did not proceed.
I also had an issue with a trade vision payment but they investigated and I did get a refund. I have modified my star review as they took swift action to refund my account.
So my only issue is their hard sell, this offer is for today only type of thing.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for updating your review and for acknowledging that the TradeVision payment issue was investigated and resolved promptly.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the consultation call experience. While many students find value in speaking with our team to determine whether our education programs are a good fit, we understand that not everyone will feel comfortable with the style or pace of those conversations.

Our intention is never to pressure anyone into joining. We strive to provide prospective students with enough information to make an informed decision, and feedback like yours helps us continue improving that experience.

We’re glad we were able to quickly resolve the TradeVision issue and process your refund, and we genuinely appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Kind regards,

Felix

Delivers promise of minimizing risk and improving gains.

Good group sessions for learning basics and asking questions in a classroom like atmosphere. I found it a little unorganized when I first began but by the end I had a great experience. The Goat Academy often improved their communication and method of providing new information and new trading support tools while I attended. Stress was on having a trading plan and following that plan to maintain consistent good results in training. They provided a training roadmap to follow to learn how to screen for best stocks to buy, how to determine enter and exit criteria for trades, and in general, how to complete the roadmap within your time at the academy for best results. They have you submit a Weekly Accountability Form to track your progress that provides a two-way feedback loop regarding your progress. A Plus is the academy has many coaches and in the group sessions, often two or more coaches are in the session. This provides multiple views from different experiences. Different coaches have different experiences which I found invaluable. Personally, I found the sessions on stock screening using finviz by coach Carlos and his Screening Scrape Book very good. They also had sessions on how to use various tools like Thinkorswim and Tradevision, which helped learn how to use those and other tools. I got the most out of sessions with coach Jae on using TradingView to screen stocks, learn what the charts are telling the investor, and how to set up alerts on a stock when it meets your criteria to buy. Overall, a good experience. Going in I had many years trading experiences as an individual investor but, struggled to maintain profits. I ended my training knowing how to minimize risk of my individual trades while increasing the gains from my trades. My trades are far more profitable now. For me, a successful experience. One last note for those wondering about the cost (remember, each person's experience will be different based on many factors like how much you have to invest to begin, how well you adhere to the lessons, and how well you follow your trading plan); I easily tripled my admission fee.

When I first joined Goat Academy

When I first joined Goat Academy, I was very excited at the thoughts of learning some investment strategies that would help me understand the financial freedom that I had heard Felix rave about so often on the YouTube videos. My first several weeks on the Goat Academy site were like a roller coaster. Sometimes, I would understand parts of the videos and other times I was completely lost. Even the basic terminology was unfamiliar to me and I realized I
was in over my head. It seemed like everyone understood the lessons except me. I didn’t even know what questions to ask during the group learning events.
One day, I saw a newly formatted website with the heading “Road map.” I was once again hopeful that I could persevere and push through. When I restarted the basic videos, I was surprised at what I had already picked up along the way but also concerned that my time was running out and I still did not know the basics of investing. The redesign of the website was very helpful and then I realized I had someone who could walk this journey beside me. Her name is Vanda. She had reached out previously but I did not understand how she could help me. I didn’t even understand most of the investing language much less what questions to ask about my current struggles. Finally, I had a zoom meeting with her. I explained my big picture situation, that I wanted to learn and continue in the program but just didn’t know how to pick up and move forward. I had felt very alone in my journey to this point and didn’t know how to evaluate my situation and restart at a more effective pace and with more specific direction. I was delighted at Vanda’s ability to meet me where I was. She carefully listened to all the details and seemed too quickly understand my situation. I felt heard, respected and valued as a student at the Goat Academy. She guided me to appropriate resources that have been very helpful in getting me back on track. Shout out to Troy who also quickly helped me understand there was still hope for me. Vanda’s genuine concern for my success and wellbeing has made a tremendous impact on my learning journey. Thank you Vanda for your support and helping me get plugged back in to the Goat Academy. Your knowledge, kindness and encouragement is greatly appreciated!
Thank you Felix for your genuine concern for others. It is hard to find people like you who want to share their vast knowledge and continue to grow themselves in often difficult but fulfilling situations. I love your Youtube videos packed with information, humor and heartfelt commitment to serving others. Thank you for seeking out support staff Like Vanda, Troy and Elliott.
Warm regards,
Janine

This academy provides classes about investing, and stock, options and crypto trading.

This academy provides classes about trading, investing, technical analysis and risk management. In addition to the video-recorded classes, there are daily zoom calls that provide daily, current market and sector analysis. I've been following the markets for decades and this academy filled in the blank spots of my knowledge so that I could put it all together and finally make money. I have also gained confidence now that I have a solid financial plan that fits my personality. I was nervous with the purchase price but just after a couple of months I feel that it is well worth it.

An excellent platform with great coaches

An excellent platform offering a wealth of useful knowledge, countless training courses, videos, live sessions and, above all, excellent coaches for one-to-one sessions, as well as fantastic, personalised support. I’m impressed.
I’ve been working as an options trader for many years. The opportunity to consult with the experienced coaches, whom I meet twice a week, is therefore particularly valuable.

Very highly recommend

Very highly recommend! If you’re on the fence about joining, get off the fence and join and you will be very grateful later. The on boarding team, the coaches, the one on one sessions and the overall support are phenomenally good. I joined on May 19, 2026, and with the tools, coaching and support I’m already showing a positive return… And that was tabulated the day the market went down! Again, very highly recommend because this program is worth its weight in gold!!

Excellent with one caveat

Over the past 3 months, I have been able to 5x my rate of return under the tutelage of the coaches. My tuition for the Goat Academy has been the greatest investment I've made for my finances, and I would recommend it to anyone very serious about learning the market. I would not recommend skipping out on the coaching. Although Goat Academy has been an excellent investment for me, I have several issues with the quality, quantity, and organization of the recorded content. I believe this could be dramatically improved and easily multiply the course's educational value. Despite this, I have found radical success and do not think this weakness warrants a lower rating. If you are willing to set aside a couple of hundred hours to learn, the Goat Academy is the best place I have found to do so.

A life-changing course

A life-changing course! I started with absolutely no trading experience, and now I have a clear understanding of what I'm looking at on the charts and how to approach the markets with confidence.
The course provides a wealth of valuable information, and the support from the entire team has been exceptional. My CSM, Hannah, has been incredibly helpful, always providing guidance, answering questions.
All of the coaches I've interacted with have been knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed . I highly recommend Goat Academy to anyone looking to learn trading in a structured and supportive environment.
