Great traders aren’t born; they’re made. Real Trading provides the expert instruction, step-by-step training, and practical application that you need to become a professional trader.
Our training curriculum balances foundational theory, real-world skills, and practical application so you can trade with confidence. You can work through the curriculum at your own pace, with most traders completing the course in 3-6 months.
We created a training program and trading methodology that combines the wisdom and tactics of top professional traders.
The Real Trading learning management system gives you the freedom to learn at your own speed to gain vital theories, risk management strategies, and real-world trading skills.
The TMS™ Simulator is the perfect place to apply your skills and experiment with new strategies. It’s like the live market, but without using real money.
After you’ve completed your training, you’ll be certified in the trading essentials that determine trader readiness. This is your final milestone in the training program.
You’re not in this alone. Real Trading provides you with coaching support from expert traders in group and 1-on-1 sessions. Ask questions and get real-time feedback on your growth.
The Real Trading community is a supportive place to grow as a trader. You’ll find mentors who push you, and friends who encourage you—everyone is working towards trading success.
Once certified, you’ll be ready for your first funded account and trading in the live market. Real Trading’s platform provides direct market access to over 50 markets across the globe.
Our training program is structured to build skills and competence through instruction, practice, and exams.
Building a Foundation
We start with market and trading fundamentals. Everything we teach is based on a solid understanding of these foundational concepts. Between the self-guided modules and live group sessions, you’ll develop the working knowledge to excel in future phases.
Platform Mastery and Market Exposure
Leveraging the fundamentals, we’ll show you how to apply them in the Real Trading platform, where you can execute orders and analyze pricing history in a no-risk environment. Everything you practice in here will help you feel comfortable as you continue to learn and put your skills to the test.
Simulator Training Helps Hone Your Skills
Now that you’ve digested the coursework, it’s time to apply what you’ve studied in the TMS™ Simulator. Here, you’ll trade using live market data and trading capabilities, without the added risk and stress of losing real money. Once you prove yourself in the simulator, you’ll be ready for the real thing.
Live Trading for Real Profits
Live trading is the culmination of all your hard work. Once you’re certified and demonstrate competence in the simulator, you’ll receive a funded trading account and clearance to trade in the live market. You’re a fully qualified Real Trader now and get to keep up to 80% of the profits from your trades.
Over 3,000 people in more than 90 countries have changed their lives and discovered fulfillment as Real Traders. Anyone can achieve success as a trader, with the right attitude and commitment.
Our program provides the structure and guidance to help you complete the training at a pace that works for you. We call that “self-guided learning.” It’s flexible enough to accommodate most schedules and help you finish in a timeframe that fits your goals
We use a combination of industry-leading software platforms and tools to support your journey. You’ll use Asana for task management, Circle for community interactions (including live coaching sessions), and the PPro8 trading platform for accessing both the TMS™ Simulator (for practical, hands-on training) and Live markets.
You’ll receive certification upon the successful achievement of your simulated trading goals and completion of core courses and content modules. This certification marks your readiness to move on to live trading with our support and funding. Most people complete the course in 3-6 months and receive their certification shortly after.
Not all traders will make it to live trading, or succeed as Real Traders. However, the Real Trading program is structured to ensure that those who commit to it will gain an understanding of markets from a professional perspective, which can help with exploring other opportunities in capital markets even if you do not find trading success at Real Trading.
Most students achieve certification within 3-6 months, but that timeframe varies according to needs. Our self-guided approach means you can move as quickly or gradually as you want to reach your goals.

Real Trading uses a proprietary software platform built from the ground up to ensure its traders have the best tools at their disposal. We’ve designed this platform to be used as a trading simulator. It provides similar trading conditions as the live market, but doesn’t require a funded trading account. You can test your skills and experiment with new strategies in a zero-risk environment.
Once you’re approved for live trading, you receive a trading account funded with Real Trading’s capital. After your trades are netted out, the profits are split: You take home up to 80% (for most assets). You never have to risk your own funds, and you don’t shoulder the losses.
From day one, you’ll be in contact with Real Trading you’ll be in contact with the Real Trading community. Whether you’re working with our expert coaches or other Real Traders, the community is always available to answer questions and encourage you. We’ve arranged all the resources that a trader-in-training needs to feel confident and prepared.
