What students are saying about Jeff Manson:
"Jeff Manson has a wealth of information and shares it gladly."
Robert S., April 2009
"Lots of individual attention. Jeff is passionate about making sure you "get it." Extremely helpful
instructor. A master of the ABC pattern and the elliot wave."
Harjap S., March 2009
"Where do I start? Jeff taught this course with a great deal of enthusiasm, technical knowledge and
awareness of the student's needs. He has a unique ability to not only supply considerable technical information but to do so in a
manner that is comprehensible to the students. Instead of painting the stock market as an inchoate lump of data and disassociated
processes, he wove these constituent components into a rich coherent fabric. Given the diversity of the students in the classroom,
Jeff was able to provide the material to the level of breadth and depth needed to satisfy the needs of everyone. I particularly
appreciate Jeff's willingness to take the extra time to answer my unending series of questions and philosophical musings without
becoming interminably bored. In addition, he provided the reasons "why" for my questions in addition to providing the "what" and
"how". This is a characteristic that I greatly appreciated. We were fortunate in that Jeff took the time to emphasize the
requirements for making safety a major component of any trading decision. This is incredibly important and all too often
overlooked. The attitude Jeff showed the class was one of genuine interest for the student's learning as well as a degree of
honesty that highlighted him as a person. I found it quite refreshing to hear of the trials and tribulations with which he had to
contend during his learning process. That has a great deal of significance and will certainly enable me to avoid some of the
pitfalls that are experienced by those of us who are new to the stock market. Finally, Jeff was fun to have as an instructor. He
made the class interesting, fun and a rewarding experience. I really appreciated his inquisitiveness. In the out of class time, we
really delved into some of the more esoteric aspects of the subject matter. I would unconditionally recommend Jeff as an
instructor to anyone seeking knowledge of the stock market. I will likely participate in this class again with Jeff as an
instructor."
Judge Y., March 2009
"Jeff's use of live trading to demonstrate the concepts taught during the lectures was extremely helpful.
His focus on mapping price structure, projecting the structure to the right edge and having very clear setup rules was
OUTSTANDING. He demonstrated with futures and stocks; both were well demonstrated. I give him multiple thumbs up."
Carl H., March 2009
"Jeff was extremely genuine and very straight forward about his trading style, he was very helpful whenever
we needed him to assist and always made sure we got answers to our questions and repeated it as much as we needed in order for us
to grasp the concept. I felt that he knew his stuff and I loved how much experience and information he has and how passionate he
was about trying to deliver all this to us. I will be looking forward to meet with him again on XLT and maybe on additional
courses. Many Thanks to Jeff and all Online Trading Academy staff for making this course a great and valuable experience."
Michael R., March 2009
"Jeff Manson is a Master Trader/Instructor in my opinion. His ability to teach is superior to any
instruction I have had so far. His use of charting techniques associated with up to the minute, real time charts far exceeded
my expectations of the E-mini course. Because of Jeff I have become a better trader; understanding the market and increasing my
confidence about my trades."
Tom S., March 2009
"Jeff more than exceeded my expectations. Would recommend 110% to anyone. I will be attending any class
he teaches. The Best. Systems are well structured, easy to understand, and proven to be effective in real-time right in class.
Thank you, Jeff."
Mark M., January 2009
"Jeff Manson is a talented and dedicated instructor. Great educator. He gets to the "how" which many
instructors don't."
Bev D., January 2009
"I believe Jeff is one of the best instructors/teachers I've had in any course or curriculum. He was the
primary reason I retook the course."
Steve B., January 2009
"The BEST Online Trading Academy instructor I've seen so far (all are good). It was so nice that Jeff
elevated the content. It is obvious that Jeff has thoroughly studied the principles that he presents. He is also very good at
presenting what seem to be complicated concepts."
Lisa K., December 2008
"Jeff was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter and was always available to help and answer
any question to our satisfaction. He was always cheerful and attentive to our needs and desires."
Steven B., December 2008
