The best free option we have reviewed — described honestly.
The Trading Cafe runs a two-tier model: a free school (95,100 members at the time of reading) teaching five complete strategies with 100+ hours of recorded sessions, funded by a paid tier, The Trading Academy, which adds a structured curriculum, up to 30 live sessions a week across Australia, UK and US timezones, and 1-to-1 education advisors. Students have submitted 102,300 backtested trades; the school publishes the raw sheets, reports a 71% average win rate across them, and — unusually and to their credit — states plainly that backtesting proves the edge in perfect conditions, not live trading results. Trustpilot: 4.8 from 1,362 reviews.
What the model does not produce is a qualification. There is no examined award, no external moderation, no regulator, no centre number to check. For many learners that will not matter. If it does matter to you — because you want assessed, certificated proof of knowledge rather than a strategy library — that is the entire difference between free and £120, and it is the difference this page exists to make plain.
