About GRIT

What is GRIT Trading Academy?

A structured one-year trading education. You work through nine modules in order, join live calls Monday to Thursday, get feedback on practical tasks, and pass a test at the end of each stage before the next one opens. It's run by me, Archie Spencer.

Is GRIT for complete beginners?

Yes. The course starts at the very beginning: setting goals, getting your platforms set up, and learning how price moves. Because each stage is tested before you move on, beginners don't get left behind.

I've been trading for years. Will it be too basic?

Probably not. Experienced traders usually find their gaps are in fundamentals, risk and process rather than chart reading. On the call we'll work out where yours are, and I'll tell you honestly whether GRIT would add enough to be worth it.

Which markets does GRIT cover?

The principles apply across forex, stocks, indices and futures, commodities, options and crypto. My own trading focuses on Nasdaq futures, and the macro side of the course shows you how the same drivers move all of them.

Do you give signals or trade alerts?

No, and I never will. GRIT is education. I don't tell you what to buy or sell, I don't manage money, and I don't run copy trading. The whole point is that you learn to make your own decisions.

Will I make money?

I can't promise that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Trading carries a high risk of losing money, and most retail traders lose money. What I can promise is a clear structure, honest teaching, and someone checking your work for a full year.

Who runs GRIT Trading Academy?

GRIT Trading Academy is run by its founder, Archie Spencer. The business is GRIT Trading Academy Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16735799). Archie leads the live calls and the 1-to-1 sessions himself.

Is GRIT online?

Yes, it's fully online. The course and community are on Skool, and the calls are held by video, so you can join from anywhere. Live calls run Monday to Thursday.

Is GRIT regulated by the FCA?

No. GRIT Trading Academy Ltd is an education provider and is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We don't give financial advice, manage money or tell you what to trade. Everything we teach is for educational purposes.

How the course works

How much time do I need?

It's built to fit around a job. Lessons and tasks are done in your own time, live calls run Monday to Thursday, and you move on each time you pass a stage's test. Some people move faster than others, and that's fine.

What happens if I fail a stage test?

You go back over the material, bring your questions to the live calls or the community, and take it again. The test isn't there to catch you out. It's there to make sure nothing important gets skipped.

How does the 1-to-1 time work?

Premium includes 6 hours and VIP includes 14 hours of private calls with me. You book them as and when you need them across your year, whether that's going through your trades, your plan, or a module you're stuck on.

Where is the course hosted?

The course and the community both live on Skool, so everything is in one place on your phone or laptop.

Pricing and booking

How much does GRIT cost?

Community is $49 a month, with a 1-week free trial first (it becomes $49 a month unless you cancel before the week is up). Premium is $3,000 for one year. VIP is $5,000 for one year and adds 5 extra modules and 14 hours of 1-to-1 time. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. Premium and VIP can be spread over 6 months, interest-free. The plan is agreed in writing before you start.

Can I get a refund?

If you're a UK customer, consumer law gives you 14 days from buying to change your mind. If you've asked us to start straight away, we deduct a fair amount for the lessons, calls and 1-to-1 time you've already had. After that, payments aren't refundable except in the cases set out in our refund policy. Premium and VIP also start with a call, so you know exactly what you're getting before you pay anything.

What happens on the call?

It's 60 minutes, 1-to-1 with me on Google Meet. I'll ask where you are with your trading, what's gone wrong so far and where you want to get to. You can ask me anything. At the end I'll tell you honestly whether I think GRIT is the right fit, and if it isn't, I'll say so.

Can I message you before booking?

Of course. WhatsApp me on +44 7377 462171 or email contact@grittradingacademy.com.
