What is TAU?
Trend Analytics University is our educational platform designed to share the knowledge and expertise of our seasoned educators.
Here, you can enroll in group classes, inquire about working privately with our educators one-on-one, and gain a head start in your trading career compared to going at it alone.
To enroll, simply get started with the classes listed above.
I'm completely new to trading. Are these classes still for me?
Of course. Our classes are designed to break down the abstract side of trading into simple, structured concepts that traders of all levels can understand.
Whether you’re a trading veteran aiming to master a specific technique or a beginner who wants to learn from the trader you identify with most, TAU offers the classes and expert insight to build your skills and elevate your trading approach.
What will I learn from these classes?
At TAU, we aim to provide a deeper look into each educator’s unique trading style to help shorten the learning curve for beginners.
In these classes, you will learn the core mechanics behind the strategies of the analyst you are enrolled with, including their framework for decision-making and risk management. We break everything down into clear, foundational concepts so you understand how and why the strategy works.
If you would like a deeper dive into a specific educator’s strategy, have a question that wasn’t covered in the group classes, or want a lesson tailored to your needs, you can submit an inquiry to book a private class directly with the analyst.
What is included with my TAU membership?
Your membership includes:
- Unlimited 1-Year Access to Live Zoom Classes
- Unlimited 1-Year Access to Class Recordings
- Live Q&A's with the Educator(s) you are enrolled with
Each educator runs their classes four times per year, and each class consists of 3 to 4 weekly zoom sessions depending on their curriculum. All sessions are approximately one hour long, with all previous class recordings available to access in your Trend Analytics Member’s Dashboard.
What forms of payment are accepted to enroll?
We accept all major credit cards and online payment providers, as shown below:

I enrolled in a class, now what?
After enrolling in a Live Class, log in to your TAU Dashboard using your newly created Trend Analytics Member account.

Are Live Classes included with VIP?
Live Classes are a separate offering from VIP.
Live Classes are educational Zoom classes hosted by our educators, where we teach our personal methodologies, lessons learned, and structured approaches to help traders build a strong foundation.
VIP, on the other hand, is our real-time alert and trading chat service designed for those seeking hands-on market experience and guidance.
To see all benefits included with VIP, click here.
Can I cancel at any time?
Live Classes are a non-recurring purchase that provides one year of access to the TAU program(s) you have enrolled in.
Your membership will automatically cancel and will not renew at the end of your one year term.
