About Free Trading Academy
Free Trading Academy — FTS — was built on a simple belief: serious trading education should be free and accessible to everyone. We are a growing community of traders across Africa and beyond, learning together and building real skills in the financial markets.
FTS is the education arm of the BigMarkt ecosystem. We teach the craft here. BigMarkt Journal is where you build your verified public trading record.
What we stand for
Free Forever
Core education is and will always be free.
Honest
We do not promise profits. We teach process.
Community
Learning together is better than learning alone.
