Enroll for futuresPrivate mentorship should meet you at your current level—not make you sit through lessons you've already mastered. Whether you're opening your first chart or refining a strategy after years in the markets, we shape your sessions around you.
Follow our complete beginner curriculum: markets, platforms, chart reading, trade setups, position sizing, psychology, journaling and practical execution. Build the foundations one step at a time.
Skip what you know. Work on options strategies, Thinkorswim, day-trading entries, scalping, risk management, consistency, or the weak spots holding back your process.
Our success is helping you build a stronger process. We accept only a small number of private students each month so each learner gets individual attention.
MentorWhere does your stop go, and why?
YouUnder that swing low. If it breaks, I'm wrong.
No prerecorded lessons. You do the analysis and place the practice trades. Your mentor asks questions and corrects mistakes as they happen.
A typical session. Timing changes with what you need that day. We recommend one session a week, with a maximum of two, so you have time to practice in between.
Our most popular program: eight 90-minute sessions, usually one a week. The order adapts to you. This is the typical path.
We find your level, pick your market and get your charts and practice account ready.
You learn to read what price is doing before you think about a trade.
You define what a good trade looks like for you, in writing.
You place and manage practice trades while your mentor watches.
You decide how much to risk before every order, not after.
We work on the moments where traders break their own rules.
You learn to improve from your own evidence instead of switching strategies.
Everything comes together in a plan you can follow on your own.
Take a session. If what you learned helps you make $1,000 in the market, you'll want another one. That is why you can keep taking sessions all year, long after your program ends.
The $1,000 figure is an example, not a typical or promised result. Trading involves substantial risk and losses are possible.
Most students train alone. These options are here if you want them.
Invite one or two people you know to the same sessions of the 2-month program. Everyone gets their own account and feedback.
Cannot be combined with the Black Friday offer.
You are allowed to record every session and watch it again whenever you like. Recordings are for your personal study only, with everyone on the call agreeing, and may not be shared or sold.

Michael Harding, founder and lead mentor, started trading during the financial crisis. He still trades the markets himself and teaches every session live.
His rule: hope is not a strategy. Every trade needs a reason to enter, a point where the idea is wrong and a risk chosen before the order is placed. You can check his public trading records yourself on Myfxbook, an independent tracking site.
Myfxbook is not affiliated with Miami Trading Academy. Records may be real or demo, historical or inactive, and are not typical student results or a guarantee of future performance.

“The mentorship changed everything. The 1-on-1 attention is unlike anything else out there.”
“The risk management alone was worth every penny. I passed my FTMO challenge on the second attempt after eight sessions.”
“I had tried three other courses before this. The personalized mentorship model is a completely different experience.”
Hear it from Michael.
He explains the program, who it is for and why live one-on-one teaching works differently from a video course.

Options, stocks, forex and futures. You choose the market when you enroll and your sessions are built around it. You can also switch focus or add a second market later.
After eight 90-minute sessions you should have a written trading plan, a setup you can repeat, risk rules for position size and daily limits, a journal and review routine, and practice-account experience placing and managing trades. It is the point where you stop feeling lost and can explain your own process. It is not a promise of profit.
Yes. You can book sessions all year, one at a time or as another package. Ongoing sessions are used to review recent trades, plan the week ahead, work on a weak spot and stay accountable. There is no contract and no subscription; you book when a session is useful to you.
No. Beginners use the program to build a foundation. Traders who already trade book sessions to have someone hold them accountable, keep them motivated and spot what to work on in real time while they read the market.
Mentorship does not guarantee trading profits, employment or an accredited professional qualification. Students who complete the required training and are approved by their instructor may receive academy Certificates of Achievement at the 2-, 4-, 6- and 12-month milestones.
Each scheduled mentorship session is 90 minutes, including the single private session.
Choose a single 90-minute session ($250), or 1 month ($900), 2 months ($1,650), 3 months ($2,400), 4 months ($3,100), 5 months ($3,750), 6 months ($4,400) or 12 months ($8,400). All tuition is in USD and sessions are private 90-minute Zoom meetings.
Yes, on the recommended two-month mentorship only: two students save 10% each and three students save 15% each. Everyone attends the same sessions. Group discounts cannot be combined with Black Friday.
Yes, with all attendees’ consent, for personal study only. Redistribution, publication or resale is prohibited and may lead to legal remedies.
By whether your trading improves. If a session helps you make better trades, you will want another one. That is how we keep students: results, not contracts. Trading involves risk and no mentor can guarantee profits.
For the same reason athletes keep a coach. A second pair of eyes catches habits you no longer notice: early entries, moved stops, oversized positions after a loss. One corrected habit can be worth more than the session costs.
Yes. This is active one-on-one coaching, not a lecture-only course. You identify market structure, trends, support and resistance, plan entries and stops, and practice simulated decisions while your instructor observes, questions and gives feedback. Activities are adapted to your experience and the platform being used.
Yes. Your curriculum can focus on stock scalping, chart structure, price action, entry triggers, risk management and trading routines. We first assess your goals and experience to agree on a suitable plan.
Yes. Training can cover long and short trade setups, their distinct execution risks, stop placement, borrow and platform considerations, and when conditions justify staying out of the market. Simulated short selling does not guarantee that a stock is borrowable for live trading.
Yes. These are core skills: define invalidation and stop-loss before entry, calculate position size from account risk, plan risk-to-reward, manage open trades and document exits. Capital preservation comes before chasing returns.
Yes. Bring screenshots, your trade journal and notes on your reasoning. We review your entries, exits, sizing, rule adherence and mistakes together, then update your checklist and practice assignment.
Yes. Training is delivered live via Zoom. Most students attend individually, but you may optionally bring one or two friends or family members to the same scheduled sessions. No large classroom courses or in-person instruction.
Your instructor works beside you on live charts and actual trade ideas, adapting exercises to your level. Bring trades from the week, challenge the setup logic, spot early mistakes before they become habits, and plan next week’s opportunities together.
No. We can start with market fundamentals, platform navigation, order types and risk rules before progressing to strategy practice.
Yes. Experienced students can prioritize execution, trade journaling, strategy testing, consistency, risk control and performance reviews.
Your one-on-one curriculum can be tailored around your chosen market, subject to instructor platform and market expertise confirmed before enrollment.
Yes. During your Zoom session we can review economic events, market structure, key levels, possible long and short scenarios, entries, exits and invalidation for the coming trading week. You are welcome to examine the same trade ideas we are studying, but you decide independently what to trade and how much to risk.
Between sessions, follow your own plan and keep a journal. In your next private Zoom meeting we review the actual chart setups, decisions and mistakes. That accountability helps correct weak habits early.

TradingView can be used for chart analysis and technical-analysis practice. The exact execution or simulator platform is chosen around your market and training goals. DAS Trader Pro support is not included by default; please discuss any DAS-specific requirement with your instructor before enrollment.
We provide guidance for setting up and using a paper-trading environment using a third-party paper-trading platform. A live brokerage simulator or paid third-party platform subscription is not automatically included in tuition. Your instructor will confirm the appropriate practice setup for your market.
AI-assisted chart discussion, journal analysis, trade-plan critique and educational strategy exploration can be incorporated where useful. Tools such as ChatGPT may be demonstrated, but AI output is checked against the charts and trading rules; it is not treated as a signal service or a guarantee. The exact tools depend on your curriculum and access.
No. Practice can begin in a simulator or paper-trading environment before risking real funds.
