Chart Academy at Prop Firm Expo London 2026: What Attendees Should Know

Most exhibitors at a prop expo offer funding, a trading platform, or payment infrastructure. Chart Academy wants to teach you, for free. It is a trading-education platform, currently pre-launch, built on an unusual premise: rather than charging students, it plans to give its masterclasses away and make its money from brands, with prop firms, brokers, and trading tools paying to be featured to an audience of engaged traders. For the prop space, that places Chart Academy a step before the funding decision, in the education layer where traders build the skills they later try to prove in an evaluation.

Chart Academy will appear at Prop Firm Expo London 2026 on June 27 at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Westminster, as a Silver Sponsor. For attendees who want to understand what the platform offers and how its free model works, the event is a useful setting to do that work in person.

For attendees, Silver-level access means the firm has a presence on the floor and supporting visibility across Prop Firm Match and Prop Firm Expo channels. It provides a setting to ask specific questions and get answers in person rather than relying on a product page.

Chart Academy describes itself as the world's first all-in-one platform for free trading education. The concept is a single library of masterclasses taught by professional traders, spanning stocks, options, futures, forex, crypto, and trading psychology, aimed at every level from beginner to advanced. The platform pairs that content with personalised learning paths, downloadable resources such as cheat sheets and templates, and a points-and-rewards system tied to a global community and leaderboard.

The platform names a roster of well-known trader-educators across asset classes, presented with their stated track records and specialities.

What makes Chart Academy distinctive is its business model, and the company is unusually direct about it. The old trading-education model charges students: sell a course, upsell coaching, gate the best material behind a premium tier. Chart Academy says it does the opposite: education is free to the trader, and revenue comes from brands. In its own framing, prop firms, brokers, and trading tools pay to be featured and, in exchange, reach a community of engaged, educated traders.

For an attendee, that model is worth understanding on its own terms, because it shapes both the upside and the things to check. The upside is real: genuinely free, structured education from experienced traders, with no subscription or paywall, is a different proposition from a $1,000 course. The thing to keep in mind is that a brand-funded platform has commercial relationships with the firms and tools it features, so a sensible question is how the platform keeps its education independent of the brands paying to appear on it. Chart Academy addresses this directly in its own promises, stating that it leads with education rather than disguised affiliate placements; an attendee can reasonably ask the team to explain how that separation works in practice.

The rewards system is the most concrete point of contact with the prop space. The platform's rewards roadmap includes prop-related perks unlocked with points, for example, evaluation or challenge accounts, and a month of a third-party journaling tool, which is a direct, if early, illustration of how the brand-funded model connects education to the prop ecosystem.

Because this is a pre-launch education platform rather than a funding program, there are no targets, drawdown rules, or payouts to weigh. The equivalent things to understand are the model's practicalities.

It is free, with no credit card required, and the company commits to no subscriptions and no premium tier; that is the core promise, and it is stated unambiguously. The content spans multiple asset classes and is structured from beginner to advanced, with new content promised regularly. The experience is designed to be personalised, generating a tailored learning path and content recommendations. And the platform is community-oriented, with a leaderboard, milestones, and redeemable points.

The main caveat is simply maturity: until launch, the depth and quality of the content cannot be assessed, only described. For a trader, the reasonable stance is to treat the waitlist as low-cost (it is free) and to judge the substance once the masterclasses are actually available.

Because Chart Academy is free and pre-launch, the framing is not "should I buy this" but "is this worth my time when it launches." Two kinds of attendees will find the booth useful in different ways.

If you are a trader looking to build or refine skills, the relevant conversation is about the curriculum: which asset classes and topics are covered in depth, who teaches them, how structured the learning path is, and when it goes live. If you operate a prop firm, broker, or trading tool, the relevant conversation is the other side of the model, what featuring on the platform involve, what audience it reaches, and how placements work.

If neither applies, Chart Academy is mainly useful to understand as part of the wider ecosystem: an education layer that, by its own design, is funded by the same prop firms and brokers exhibiting alongside it.

• When does the platform launch, and what will be available at launch versus added later?
• How many instructors are confirmed, and which asset classes and topics have the most depth?
• Since brands pay to be featured, how does the platform keep its educational content independent of the firms and tools paying to appear?
• How does the rewards system work, and which prop-related rewards are actually available?
• What does "personalised learning path" mean in practice, and how is it built?
• For an experienced trader, is there advanced material, or is the focus on fundamentals?
• For a prop firm or tool, what does being featured on the platform involve?

Use the firm's presence at the event to get specific, rather than collecting the headline pitch. The free-education premise is genuinely appealing, so the useful signal is whether the team can speak concretely about the curriculum, the launch timeline, and how the brand-funded model preserves educational independence, rather than restating that it is free. Because the platform is pre-launch, a booth conversation is one of the few ways to get a sense of substance before there is a product to try.

Bring your own situation: the markets you trade or want to learn, your experience level, and what you have found lacking in other trading education. If you are there on behalf of a prop firm or tool, bring the questions that matter to a potential brand partner. Either way, that is a more useful use of the time than a general overview.

Chart Academy will appear at Prop Firm Expo London 2026 on June 27 at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Westminster, as a Silver Sponsor. For attendees, the booth is most useful to anyone weighing where to learn, a trader curious about genuinely free, structured education, or a prop firm, broker, or tool considering the other side of the model.

To prepare before the event, the company's own site, chartacademy.com, is the primary source for the instructor roster, the topics covered, and the launch timeline, and is where traders can join the waitlist. As Chart Academy is an education platform rather than a prop firm, it is not listed on Prop Firm Match; the value of the booth is the chance to assess the curriculum and the model directly, and to gauge whether it is worth returning to once it launches.
