Temporarily closed — strategic pause
Trading Buddy has paused its Trading Buddy program to refine the offering. This is described on their site as a reset, not a permanent shutdown — they plan to revisit the program when the timing is right.
Refunds have been initiated for all active challenges at every stage. No action is required on your part; allow 5–7 business days for funds to return to your original payment method. Contact Trading Buddy directly if a refund has not arrived after that window.
We are not accepting new challenge sign-ups for this firm until enrollments reopen.
