Day Trading in Today's Futures Market

Co-developed with NYSE icon Peter Tuchman and Wall Street Global Trading Academy co-founder David Green, Day Trading in Today's Futures Market is an immersive one-week academy where students gain a ground-level look at futures trading. Delivered by active professional day traders, the curriculum covers market fundamentals, technical analysis, risk management, and five proven trading strategies, with trading psychology woven throughout every session. Students apply their skills through live chart analysis, real market scenarios, and simulated trades, walking away with a personal trading framework and full access to the Wall Street Global Trading Academy's online course. 

Each student household will also receive an APEX Trader Funding evaluation account, available immediately for students 18 and older, or offered to the household guardian for students under 18, giving everyone a real pathway to continue trading beyond the summer. APEX is a leading futures prop trading firm with a model built for newer traders: rather than risking your own capital, you complete an evaluation and, if you pass, trade with APEX's money — keeping the profits. It's a legitimate next step, not just a simulation.

Whether you're drawn to finance, entrepreneurship, or simply want to understand how markets actually work, Day Trading in Today's Futures Market is a hands-on, high-energy experience unlike anything offered in a traditional classroom.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Understand the mechanics of futures markets, including how contracts work, how to read charts, and how to speak the language of professional traders.
2. Apply proven trading strategies and risk management techniques to real market scenarios, including live chart analysis and simulated trades.
3. Develop the discipline and psychological framework that separates successful traders from the rest — managing emotion, uncertainty, and decision-making under pressure.
4. Gain a firsthand understanding of what professional day trading looks like as a career, with direct access to active traders and a pathway to continue trading beyond the program through the APEX Trader Funding platform.

The course is facilitated by guest speaker instructors who implement the Wall Street Global Trading Academy curriculum developed by Peter Tuchman and David Green. Possible guest appearances by Peter Tuchman and David Green at select campuses and subject to change.
