About your mentor

Built in the markets. Proven through experience.

Michael Harding has traded Forex, indices and commodities since 2008. His approach was shaped through live-market experience — the wins, the mistakes, the changing conditions and the uncomfortable drawdowns that teach a trader why planning, timing and risk control matter far more than hype.

He has personally taught 6,500+ students, with a high success rate even from the 16-hour intensive alone — and every student keeps ongoing support after the program. Beyond mentoring, Michael founded Miami Trading Academy and Academy of Financial Markets, and owns WePassChallenges, a prop-firm challenge education and services company.

Experience and business ownership establish background, not a promise of profitability. Trading involves substantial risk, and mentorship outcomes depend on the student’s effort, discipline and market conditions.

Student Experiences

What students say after working with us.

★★★★★

The private sessions gave me direct, usable feedback that I could not get from self-teaching. The face-to-face guidance helped me sharpen my skills and clearly see what I still needed to improve.

Is one-on-one training tailored to me, and is any training pre-recorded?

Every live one-on-one session is tailored to your experience, goals and learning pace. Beginners have a structured curriculum so nothing essential is skipped. Our in-person group classes and one-on-one Zoom lessons are also delivered live. No paid training program relies on pre-recorded lessons. Our separate free Online Academy is self-paced.

What if I live far from downtown Toronto?

For students travelling a long distance, we often recommend doing the first few one-on-one sessions live in person so you can build the foundation face-to-face. The remaining one-on-one sessions can always be completed live over Zoom if that is more practical.
