Toronto trading course
Academy of Financial Markets offers private mentorship and live group trading education in Toronto taught by Michael Harding. Instead of a packed webinar or a recycled video library, you get personalized 90-minute live mentorship sessions — in person at 192 Spadina Ave. in downtown Toronto, or over Zoom from anywhere in Canada.
You’ll learn to trade both Forex and stocks the way professionals actually do it: capital preservation and risk first, then market structure, clean-chart entries, trade management and the psychology that makes results repeatable. Explore the full program, see how it works, or start free in the online trading academy.

About your mentor
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 including intensive short-format programs — 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.
Trading-industry ventures
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.
Private mentorship pricing
Choose individual lessons or a structured mentorship lasting 1 to 12 months. Every private session is 90 minutes, available live over Zoom or in person in downtown Toronto by appointment. All tuition is in CAD.

Certificate of Completion
Every paid training student can take the 100-question multiple-choice final exam. A score of 70% or higher earns a Certificate of Completion. If you do not pass on the first attempt, you can retake the exam remotely with unlimited free attempts.
The curriculum
Every engagement is private, so the plan bends to your level and goals. This is the spine we work through — on live markets, on your platform.
Capital preservation, position sizing, and the math of drawdown before a single trade.
Reading trend, ranges, and liquidity across Forex pairs and equities.
Clean-chart decision making: structure, confirmation, and precise entries.
Stops, targets, scaling, and protecting winners under real conditions.
The pre-market ritual and mindset that make results repeatable.
A written, personal trading plan you leave with — and can actually follow.
How it works
Fill in the short form and we email your payment options — card, e-Transfer, PayPal or crypto.
Choose the number of private sessions and confirm your tuition and payment arrangements with our team.
Ebooks to study, software setup, and a paper-trading account so you can start practising.
Complete the agreed payment arrangement before training begins.
Attend your 90-minute private sessions and build a written trading plan.
Free Online Self-Learning Course
Start with our free Online Academy and work through all 8 financial-markets modules at your own pace. Complete the modules and final assessment to receive a free Certificate of Completion that you can add to your resume or professional profile.
Students who want to go further can also get guidance on career positioning and job-placement preparation, plus education around prop-firm funding pathways with firms such as FTMO. Employment, funding and trading results are never guaranteed.
Student Experiences
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.
