Our Story
TRADEPRO Academy was founded by George Papazov, who began blogging in 2007 to warn others about an impending market crash. When it hit, George was on the trading desk at a major Canadian bank—experiencing the fear and confusion firsthand. That moment sparked a mission: help traders succeed with the tools, mindset, and strategies used by professionals.
In 2012, TRADEPRO Academy launched with our Foundations Course and an innovative trader chat community—one of the first of its kind. At a time when retail traders had no real voice or space to connect, we built a movement rooted in transparency, education, and passion.Today, we’re proud to be one of the leading trader training providers in the world—equipping everyday traders with the skills to succeed, and the support to stay in the game.

GET TO KNOW US
Our Team
George Papazov
Founder & CEO | Head of Futures Order Flow Education
In 2009, at the trading desk of Scotia Capital, I watched years of client profits disappear in weeks. Markets were crashing, people were losing life savings daily. I had two choices: wait for change or become the change. I chose action, and that decision shaped my life’s mission.
I founded TRADEPRO Academy in 2012 to educate, empower, and develop the next generation of traders. More than a decade later, that same passion drives me every day—with a focus that has evolved alongside my own journey.
I started as a day trader, thriving in the fast-moving world of intraday opportunities. Today, while TRADEPRO Academy continues to support traders on that path, my personal work has shifted toward teaching the psychology of trading and applying longer-term strategies that focus on wealth building and sustainability. It’s a transition that reflects not only market experience, but also personal growth and a commitment to helping traders align their approach with their bigger life goals.
At TRADEPRO Academy, we believe there’s no shortcut to success. No hype, no empty promises—just proven strategies, the right mindset, and a disciplined process. Whether your journey is intraday or longer-term, we’re here to help you trade with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Welcome to TRADEPRO Academy.
