Nick Deflorio's course cost starts at $3,000 AUD for the Onyx Trading Accelerator. This is the only entry point to Onyx Trading Education's flagship program and includes the complete four-phase curriculum, group coaching, and lifetime access.
There is only one flagship program. Higher access tiers exist for traders who want direct mentorship from Nick, with final pricing confirmed during a free strategy session so the right level of access can be matched to each trader's stage.
There are no monthly subscriptions, no upsell funnels, and no hidden costs. One payment, lifetime access.
The program is not sold openly online. Nick Deflorio and Onyx Trading Education do not list a checkout page or a "buy now" button anywhere on the site. Every prospective student goes through a free strategy session before they're offered a place in the program. There are two reasons for this:
If you want in, the only path is through a strategy session. If you're not the right fit, you'll be told — and that's by design.
Onyx Trading Education was founded in 2020 after Nick Deflorio spent over $6,000 and two years on his own trading education before reaching consistent profitability. That experience shaped how the program is priced today: one program, transparent entry point, and no recurring fees designed to keep students paying instead of progressing.
The model is built around outcomes — passing prop firm evaluations, holding funded accounts, and scaling capital — not retention metrics.
Nick Deflorio is also a trader with over 10 years experience now and has a track record for his own success but more importantly an extremely high student success rate with over 100 funded traders in his trading club.
The entry tier gives full access to The Trading Accelerator — the complete curriculum from beginner foundations through to advanced prop firm execution.
Built for self-directed traders who want the full system and community support without one-on-one mentorship.
The Trading Accelerator is built from the ground up for people who have never looked at a financial chart in their life. No prior trading experience, no finance background, no technical knowledge required.
Nick Deflorio designed the program this way deliberately. He started trading from scratch himself in 2016 and remembers exactly how overwhelming the learning curve felt. Most trading education assumes you already understand market structure, candlesticks, leverage, and risk concepts before you've even logged in. Onyx assumes none of that.
Phase One starts at the absolute beginning:
Only after these foundations are locked in does the program move into market structure, supply and demand, and eventually the proprietary Onyx Strategies in Phase Four.
The program is self-paced, meaning beginners can take their time absorbing each concept before moving on. The average completion time across all students is 18 days — but there's no clock running. Lifetime access means a student can spend a month on Phase One if that's what they need, then come back to revisit a module a year later when something clicks.
The 87% completion rate across 1,500+ students is the strongest signal that the program genuinely works for beginners. If the curriculum was pitched too high, that number wouldn't exist.
Higher access tiers exist for traders who want more of Nick's direct time. These include:
The exact structure is discussed on a free strategy session. Not every trader needs full access — the call is there to match the right level to where you actually are.
The course is structured in four progressive phases, taking a trader from zero through to being confident to trade prop-firm funded capital.
The foundations every trader needs before any strategy is applied.
The language of the market. How to read price without indicators or noise.
Higher-level concepts for traders ready to refine their edge.
The proprietary strategies. This is where the system comes together.
The strategies and technical analysis taught are transferable across markets — the skill applies to forex, indices, futures, and crypto. The end goal narrows toward passing prop firm evaluations, holding funded accounts, and scaling capital while keeping the majority of profits.
Transparency matters in this industry. Onyx Trading Education is strictly an educational program. That means:
Students may choose to practice using simulated environments — such as demo accounts provided by prop firms — but Onyx does not facilitate those relationships or handle student funds at any point.
The pricing model is deliberate. Subscriptions create pressure to keep students paying — not pressure to make them profitable. A one-off payment with lifetime access aligns the incentives correctly. The goal is for traders to learn the system, get funded, and scale.
It also removes the most common complaint in trading education: paying month after month for content that should have been taught once, properly.
Trading does not come with profit guarantees, and any course that promises one should be treated with caution. What is guaranteed is full lifetime access to every module, every strategy, every coaching session, and every future update — for a single payment.
Every student goes through an educational demo before purchasing. This ensures the program is genuinely the right fit before any payment is made.
Worth depends on what a trader does with it. The course provides the strategy, the structure, and the support — execution sits with the trader.
For context: a single prop firm evaluation can cost A$500–A$1,500, and most traders fail several before passing. The total spent on failed evaluations, scattered courses, and lost capital usually exceeds the cost of structured education in the first place.
The A$3,000 entry tier is positioned to be recoverable from a single funded account payout for a trader executing the system correctly. That is the benchmark.
The track record speaks for itself: 1,500+ students across 10+ countries, an 87% program completion rate, a 4.7-star Trustpilot rating, and features in Forbes, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, and TradingView.
Every prospective student goes through a free strategy session before purchase. This is where the program is demonstrated, questions are answered, and the right access tier is determined for your stage.
The entry point is A$3,000 AUD for full Trading Accelerator access. Higher tiers with direct mentorship from Nick are discussed on the call.
