Austin, TX - Student Testimonials
Read what our students are saying:
2010
"I have taken trading classes from several trainers, but none is more comprehensive, more hands-on, and more
applicable to my current situation than the Online Trading Academy E-Mini Futures class. Tillie is profitable and proficient in her
own trading and is more than willing to share the strategies that work for her. What works for her can work for me!"
Don M., January 2010
2009
"I had never even considered taking a class before Online Trading Academy was recommended to me by someone
that had taken the course. It was all that he had said and more. I would recommend it to anyone to start taking charge of their own
money or to understand how someone may be doing it."
Jan H., December 2009
"Online Trading Academy taught me the latest cutting-edge market trading tactics and this course will
certainly take my trading skills to a whole new level!"
Alton J., December 2009
"I was a self taught trader, trading for about six months. The knowledge I gained from the Professional Trader
class has greatly expanded my trading capability. My confidence level for making short sales increased 100%. I project my trading
income will double as a direct result of the class."
Jeff W., December 2009
"Even better course the second time around. I sat through the class again after taking the course for the
first time six months ago and was amazed at the amount of new material and insights. Kevin was exceptional once again. Great course
and a great instructor!"
Ted L., December 2009
"I really enjoyed the Forex class that Rick taught this week. He has given me an awareness of trading that
cannot be found in the text books. He taught me a new perspective in reading and listening to the charts. I will never look at the
charts and trade the same way ever again. Please keep Rick as a permanent preferred instructor on your staff. Rick is truly a great
teacher and a great person!!!"
Ray S., November 2009
"I have already made money from what I have learned in Kevin's class. Your course is complete and very
valuable. I have traded stocks for 15 years and I was amazed at what Kevin had to offer me in basic education and the fine points
of trading. Along with the first timers I learned the pertinent information I have needed for years. I think that speaks volumes
about the quality of education at Online Trading Academy."
John W., October 2009
"This was a life-changing, invaluable educational experience for me. It built my confidence and enabled me
to understand not only how I have made mistakes in the past, but how to apply what I've learned to become successful in the future.
Kevin is an amazing instructor who was able to give reason and meaning to all of my past teachings which have never served me. I
can't wait to write back with my success story!"
Laurie A., September 2009
"If you're tired of losing money, let Online Trading Academy help you become profitable. I highly recommend
their instructors, their classes and their information. Don't lose money - spend it wisely!"
Don M., September 2009
"Get ready for a ride and hold on to your seat! What you learn will blow you out of the water."
Cheryl M., September 2009
"This Pro Traders Course has truly been a fantastic experience for me. I consider it a great privilege to
have had Kevin as my instructor. He brings a vast amount of experience and knowledge to the classroom but more importantly,
expertly delivers the subject material in such a way that really connects with the students both on and individual and classroom
team level. We proudly gave him a standing ovation at the end of the course which was really well-deserved. Thanks to Online Trading
Academy for exceeding all of my expectations and giving me the best jumpstart possible to become a successful and professional
active trader!"
Don L., August 2009
"A must-have course if you are serious about protecting your money and learning the correct methodology to
make reliable and, hopefully, profitable trades. This class takes out all the rookie mistakes that you would otherwise inadvertently
do. The live trading aspect of it lets you do the mistakes here and not when your money is on the line. My instructor, Kevin
is a "master" and I feel privileged to be under his "wings" now. His style of teaching is unique as he takes all the fluff out it
and takes time to focus you on the bulls-eye, and gives you his decades of expertise in just few days of intense training. I really
wish I had taken this course earlier, but it's never too late. In summary, an excellent course to take. It's worth all the money and
much, much more."
Aryesh A., August 2009
"I have had two relatives take the Professional Traders Course from Kevin this year, and both were extremely
pleased, and therefore recommended the course to me. I investigated Online Trading Academy for quite some time before committing to
taking the Professional Trader course, and I had high hopes and expectations, yet all expectations were vastly exceeded. Kevin
is the best and most professional instructor that I have ever had -- in any subject -- he is a master, and a true teacher."
Don C., July 2009
"The course was unbelievable. I have learned more in a few days than I have learned in many years on my
own. I have been trying to think of a brief comment to sum up my experience, and the word "wow" keeps coming to mind. I came in a
skeptic, I am leaving a believer. Online Trading Academy is truly a first class organization. To anyone who is interested in doing
their own trading, whether short term or long term trading, if you are on the fence about the value of the education, I would say
you have a lot more to lose by NOT taking the course. Kevin, our instructor, was truly phenomenal. I am deeply grateful to
him for the education I have received."
Steven K., July 2009
"I suggest anyone wanting to learn how to trade to take this course. It will definitely get you on the right
path."
Mike W., June 2009
"An excellent course that makes a business of trading a realistic goal. What better reward than being more
in control of your own life!"
Donald Y., June 2009
"We have learned enough now to start trading. This course more than fulfilled our expectations as far as
learning practical hands-on techniques that we can begin to use immediately in our trading. We can't wait to get started!"
John and Heidi S., June 2009
"I cannot recommend this course enough! I knew absolutely nothing about trading or the financial world, and
after this class I feel I can actually do it, and enjoy doing it!"
Marie Z., May 2009
"Most thorough class on the fundamentals and keeps you independently thinking."
Manisha U., June 2009
"This is a must have class to be a successful trader."
Jeremy G., May 2009
"I've been trading for 10 years and can truly say this class has helped me put it all together and has made
me a better trader. Our instructor was the best. I would highly recommend the course to everyone who is really serious about
trading and investing. Great job!!"
Frank V., May 2009
"This was the most knowledge packed class I have ever attended."
Richard N., May 2009
"This class is an instant mojo for your portfolio. My apprehension in tackling the financial markets is out
the window, and my confidence and resolve toward a trading lifestyle is complete. Thank you Online Trading Academy for keeping me
in the right direction whenever I get off course by that one degree!"
Eric G., May 2009
"Online Trading Academy provided a very professional concise approach that simplified trading techniques
and technical analysis for the beginner."
Patton D., May 2009
"This is an amazing amount of material packed into 7 days. Kevin is an extremely knowledgeable trader
and incredible instructor. I will recommend this class and Kevin to anyone committed to learn professional equities trading."
Rob D., April 2009
"There is so much great information! For the first time I feel like I have control over my investments.
Now it's just a matter of time until I gain the experience and skills to trade with the institutions."
Stephen S., April 2009
"After 5 days of the class, I sat down to consider a decision about a stock in my long-term portfolio. I
was surprised to notice that I was thinking about this decision in ways I never had before. I felt as if my brain had been
re-wired. In a good way! This course was a deep learning experience that installed a new mindset."
Rick April 2009
"We have been to many workshops, but this is the only workshop that has given the insights necessary to be
an "active trader". Thanks Online Trading Academy."
Paul N., April 2009
"Trading will become my new profession, and will be utilized to support my children and myself. I feel much
more confident having gone through this class that I can make a living for myself and my family. Thanks Kevin, for your amazing
instruction. Thanks Online Trading Academy for providing this training opportunity."
Michele G., April 2009
"This class and the information gave me a totally different and better attitude toward the buying and selling
of stocks. I would like to develop it into a business using the things I have learned."
Larry S.,April 2009
"Tillie is a really good teacher and very sympathetic to the novice trader since she experienced the same
things. As always the Online Trading Academy staff and atmosphere lends itself to helping us develop a community feel amongst us
few Austin futures traders."
Matthew W., E-mini Futures Class, April 2009
"I have been interested in the Futures market for the past 6 years. I had looked around for a class to
address this and could not find one that was not in the "weekend Seminar" format. I was really glad that Online Trading Academy
offered this Futures class. I have had many of my questions answered and feel confident that I now have the appropriate toolset to
tackle the job."
Larry R., E-mini Futures Class, April 2009
"There is so much great information! For the first time, I feel like I have control over my investments.
Now, it's just a matter of time until I gain the experience and skills to trade with the institutions."
Stephen B., March 2009
"TERRIFIC CLASS, helped terrifically to clear up a lot of misconceptions!!!!!!"
Stanley M., March 2009
"I truly enjoyed the class -Kevin is amazing. I never had a professor in my fancy ivy league college that
put the same passion and energy into the curriculum. Amazing."
Lauren M., March 2009
"This class was presented in a very easy to understand manner for someone like me who has a very limited
knowledge of the stock market. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in beginning to trade securities."
"I have taken other stock trading classes, but this one, by far has been the best. I actually came to the
introductory class because of the price (free), but became extremely excited about what was going to be offered in the
Professional Trader Class. It has been more than worth the money."
Larry S., March 2009
"This course provided me with practical tools to use and the reasons behind the "rules". I would recommend
this class to anyone seriously interested in understand trading and investing. It is the most comprehensive training experience I
believe I have ever experienced. This course was jam packed with information presented in such a way that it was not overwhelming.
I wish I had taken this ten years ago rather than the one I took."
Jim M., March 2009
"I truly enjoyed this course and Kevin made it so easy to understand and very entertaining. It is hard for
things to sink into my thick head, but I feel that with the easy way it was presented, I will be able to trade with more
confidence and ease. I would recommend anyone that is interested in taking control of their financial well being and not leave it
in the hands of a complete stranger to take this course. I totally feel more empowered to do that for myself now. Thanks for this
feeling."
Ann L., March 2009
"Online Trading Academy is top class. If you are sick of other people losing your money, and charging you
for it, do yourself a favor and invest in yourself with this education. Quite simply the best decision I've EVER made for myself,
and more importantly for my future. Online Trading Academy saved me from the "it will come back" mentality; to the tune of 20
percent of my life's savings, that I can now prove I would have lost letting the "professionals" at the bank continue to handle my
portfolio. They would have lost 40 percent. Thankfully, Online Trading Academy gave me the confidence to steer my own ship
successfully. This program is TRUE and the people here really do care. Kevin, Mike, Alan and Sean.....Thanks sincerely."
Thomas R., February 2009
"This education will take my trading skills to a higher level. I was trading with a blindfold over my
face...Kevin gave everything to each student and made it possible for each of us to understand the complex material. Thanks
Kevin!!!"
Travis, February 2009
"After years of disappointing investment strategies and months of confusing to complicated study, this is
the first time I see a light at the end of the tunnel for turning things around. That in itself is encouraging and exciting."
Stephen W., February 2009
"I was truly impressed with the amount of knowledge that was presented. It is obvious to me that there is a
genuine concern for the success of students. I feel confident that I can go out and be successful trading. Kevin over
delivers on Online Trading Academy's commitment to train you for trading. The amount of practical, on-the-money information is
phenomenal. The learning atmosphere is exciting and the knowledge learned is priceless. Thank You!"
Reagan D., February 2009
"The best trading education in the entire world. I'm a very satisfied client and Online Trading Academy
family member. Kevin thanks for everything and God Bless."
Michael W., February 2009
"Being an absolute novice I was concerned with being totally lost and left behind. Kevin did not let me be
left in the dust. (No Child Left Behind). Unlike the gov't program this one worked. Kevin was great to have as the Instructor as
he was always willing to take the time necessary to make something clear. This was the most informative type of class on any
subject in which I have ever been privileged to participate. This class and this instructor were top-notch."
Larry S., February 2009
"I enjoyed this class so much, I only wish I had done this 10 years ago. If I had only had the courage 10
years ago to manage my own finances, I wouldn't have suffered the consequences of using money managers and financial planners.
Never again. I most highly recommend that if you want to validate or improve the way you trade, take this class."
Chris A., February 2009
"I had heard about Online Trading Academy on the radio and looked them up online. I signed up for the
half day seminar and attended. The quality and integrity was a world of difference, I signed up that day for the Professional
Traders Class. I am so happy with my decision. I have received more information in these three days of class than was being
offered at the hotel presentation for $25K. I will recommend this class to anyone interested in a quality education. I don't think
one could find this information anywhere. Thank you Online Trading Academy!"
Cherri T., February 2009
"I was completely new to all of this, but after this week I can really say that what seemed to be obscure
for me is now clear and straight forward. This course gives me the confidence as a complete beginner to take on trading
professionally."
Eduardo H., February 2009
"At 23 years old I had no clue how the stock market was traded, what to do, or if it was even possible to
make or even keep the money you invest. After three days listening to Kevin, I know that I can finally stand up to those telling
me I am dumb to think about trading. I now know it's not all about buy and hold, but shorts and longs, intraday and investment. I
feel confident that I can do this and I will be able to make my daily paycheck!"
Amanda, February 2009
"This was like "Extreme Makeover - Trading Edition". I came in here with the "herd" ideas of trading (Buy
and Hope). Kevin (TY!) tore the house down and handed me the keys to a brand new "house" in the way of trading. Now I just
have to go live in it!"
Doug V., January 2009
"I have taken a number of courses that now were obviously worthless. This class I wish I had taken first."
Frank H., January 2009
2008
"I have been to several other investment education courses (yes, the ones you see on TV) and have spent
quite a bit of money on them plus the software. While I can't discount what I learned from those other courses, what I have
learned from Online Trading Academy in 9 days was more than what I learned from all the others. And, it was cheaper. I know now
that I have tools and knowledge to make better decisions. Thank you."
Michael B., December 2008
"This is a great class. For the first time I learned how to actually enter and exit trades. I have had a
broker account with Think or Swim for a year and have never made a single trade because I was afraid I would lose money since I
did not know how to enter and exit trades. After this training, I am very comfortable in entering and exiting trades and I am
going to make use of my account at Think or Swim. This training has taken away all the fear I had to trade. Very informative and
eye opening. Anybody who wants to be a trader must go through this class."
Wilfred O., December 2008
"This was the second class I took from Online Trading Academy and it did not dissapoint. Even after just
two days, I feel I have a very good foundation to start trading in small sizes and build up my knowledge as I go from here. The
class gave me enough education to begin, which is all I was hoping for."
Kirk R., November 2008
"I have traded for 15 years. I was taught to trade by a real trader in around 1995 who really made millions
in the market. He set me up with Omega Tradestation and spent months with me as friends. I made good money. Over the years I had
forrgotten some rules and began to lose money. I thought things had changed as the market has gone crazy up then, now crazy down.
This class teaches you much of what this trader taught me years ago. I can tell you it is simple and will not change with the next
trend."
Chris L., November 2008
"I am very skeptical about things that cost a lot. Fortunately for me I had friends that took the class a
year ago and I could confirm this is the real deal. Kevin has a rare talent to explain the depth of the markets in a way you will
know what is going on. That is invaluable in developing my skills in trading. Much THANKS!"
Mike B., October 2008
"This is my second time through the class and I'm thrilled with the steady improvement I've made working at
home over the past few weeks. I know that everything I've learned here will help improve my financial future in every aspect."
Darcie M., October 2008
"This class has provided me with more information than I could have possibly imagined. Beyond that, it has
given me the skills to put that information to work in a very concise way. Thank you so much!"
Kim S., September 2008
"The class is the best I have ever attended. It has surpassed my wildest expectations. I appreciate the
honest no bull approach."
Robert M., September 2008
"I had really high expectations for this course, and I wondered if they would be met. In the end, they were
exceeded by leaps and bounds. Every person I dealt with from Online Trading Academy has been simply wonderful. I'm actually
starting to believe that I can be a professional trader, and I look forward to staying involved with Online Trading Academy during
my career. At this point, I don't think I could be any happier than I am now."
Maurice M., August 2008
Thank you so very much for providing another exceptional opportunity to become a much more highly advanced,
skilled trader. Kevin not only teaches, but consistently reminds us to stay positively focused. Online Trading Academy and Kevin
always far exceed my expectations.
Taye S., Broad Market Analysis, August 2008
"This class added to my education in trading equities in a very positive way. Learning to trade requires
education and this class was education at a very high level."
Sally B., Broad Market Analysis, August 2008
"Online Trading Academy completely blew my expectations away. They are professional, efficient, and honest.
They show you what you REALLY need to know to take control of your own financial life. Online Trading Academy is a top class
organization. I definitely got my money's worth. I've learned more about applying this to my life in the past 3 days than the
general public learns in their entire life. The best education I've ever received hands down! Thank you."
Thomas R., July 2008
"I've been to one of the "hotel" trading seminars. Yes. I did learn a lot from them. However, they hype you
up and then when they have you emotionally, they start selling you their software. In other words their up-front cost is high. At
Online Trading Academy they take what I consider a more professional approach to trading and they don't play on your emotions."
John S., July 2008
"I really liked this class. It's hands on nature in combination with an expert trader's knowledge really
helped me to understanding trading better and start demystifying active trading so that I can actually participate in the markets
and know what I'm doing. Thanks, Kevin! I truly enjoyed the class."
Clyde B., July 2008
"This class provided me with the investment principles I have been looking for; how to "do my homework",
how to make money when trends are either up or down, and how to manage the risks of investing/trading. The class was very well
done. The instructor, outstanding. Thanks Online Trading Academy!"
Farrell W., June 2008
"This course gives a fantastic methodology as well as a thorough enlightenment on the total world financial
market environment."
Stanley M., May 2008
"As a Certified Financial Planner I thought I was able to learn how trade the options market on my own. The
options class really made me realize that training was a necessity before anyone should venture into trading options. Eric was an
excellent and very knowledgeable instructor; there is no comparison to having a 20 year option pit trader take you step by step
through the world of options. Thank you Online Trading Academy for the excellent instruction and I feel much more equipped to trade
options after taking your course."
Gene P., Options Class, May 2008
"Although I have traded options in the past (mainly covered calls and strangles), I never understood how
strike prices were derived and did not understand how much other option information was available or what steps to follow. This
class is a must for the beginner AND the experienced trader because it teaches you the processes necessary to determine if an option
play is appropriate in order to be successful."
Pauline S., Options Class, May 2008
"I started the class with no knowledge what so ever on trading! A week later I'm leaving here with the
confidence and knowledge to make calculated choices and make a pay check off the stock market! I'm a hair dresser who wanted a
little more freedom and wanted to invest my money that sits in the bank NOT MAKING MORE!It was time for me to take my future into
my hands!"
Lloyd, May 2008
"The value of the class was worth it if it was a one time episode. Taking into consideration that it is a
life time of education that can be obtained it is remarkable."
Criag B., April 2008
"Time in the "hot-seat," actual trading and engaging in the market, with immediate feedback and suggestions
from the instructor on how to improve was the most helpful aspect of the course. Learning to flawlessly execute an entry, set the
exit-for-loss, then set the exit-for-profit, sticking to the trading plan, takes a huge load off of my psyche while trading. Keep
it simple!"
Chad O., April 2008
"The best part for me came AFTER graduation. I've been intouch with my instructor Kevin, as often as
I need. He's simply "THE BEST". When we were in class, Kevin stayed late everyday for anyone that needed extra help. There were a
few students that had never traded before. Kevin was so patient with everyone that we were all trading like PROS by the end of the
week. I've been in touch with my classmates, who are as excited as I am and I'm almost finished with my office set up. There is
nothing I'm not prepared for now. Kevin left "no stone unturned" with our education. There are also continuing programs and
training as well as Alumni meetings and functions. It's like joining a family and I'm so glad that I'm a part of it all. This is
the best investment I have ever made by far !!!"
Michael W., April 2008
"I have been trading for over 10 years. It's amazing how the market is waiting to "pounce" on you. You must
enter trades based on knowledge, be aware of and limit risks, and know when to exit. This class prepares you to read conditions,
make your choices and execute crisply at the right times for profit. I now see how I can lose on a few trades but win on many more
and take more profit from the winners than I give up on the losers."
Rick K., March 2008
"I took another stock trading course that was more expensive, and this one far exceeds my previous
training. The hands-on use of the trading platform and the building of trading skills over 5 days is the jewel in the crown with
this program. Also, Kevin's strength is in identifying what is worth learning and what is clutter. He was a fabulous instructor
who went way above and beyond what was required to teach the course."
Pat K., February 2008
2007
"After attending the first two days, I was totally convinced that this is the best value for money and time
spent to learn about trading. Your team is providing a best of the best in trading education. Thank you."
Lal S., September 2007
"What I loved about this course was the fact that I could take it all over again for no extra cost, This gave
me the oportunity to take the course and pick up more Information than I did the first time. I highly recommend this course."
Sifredo B., August 2007
"This is not a by the book course, this course WILL open your eyes to the real market's perspective. This
course will teach you how to truly become an ACTIVE trader. The instructors come from years of active trading, and I don't know
how to put a price on that kind wisdom and knowledge."
Jose P., May 2007
"In my humble opinion, creating wealth begins with an investment in yourself. The biggest risk you'll ever
take is not betting on yourself. Your investment in yourself should begin with an education. But, not just any education. In order
to succeed, you need the BEST. And, that is who Online Trading Academy is, the absolute best. If you want to create wealth and
preserve it, invest in yourself and get the best education and value that money can buy. Become a graduate of Online Trading
Academy and learn to create and preserve wealth. You deserve the best and I recommend them highly."
Ron D., April 2007
"My experience this week was absolutely more than I ever imagined. The staff is incredible. The materials
and instruction are far more than I think anyone expected. I definitely received more information and education than I paid for. I
would highly recommend Online Trading Academy to anyone I know that would be interested in trading. Thank you Kevin and
Online Trading Academy for such a great week!"
Cheryl R., April 2007
"Your organization provides a truly exceptional experience. The course materials, the atmosphere, and the
instructor are all FIRST rate in the business. There is a genuine and sincere concern for the success of your students. This has
truly been one of my best experiences. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about taking control of their
financial future."
Ron D., March 2007
"Online Trading Academy is a great value. I can take this material and enhance my ability to protect my
assets and create wealth so I can leave a legacy of education and wealth for my family, Church, and University. I am humbled by
this experience and hope to be worthy of the opportunity presented to me through this education."
Don S., January 2007
2006
"This is the most powerful thing someone could do for themselves and their family, taking control of their
money. Online Trading Academy and Kevin more than know how to give you the tools. Thanks again Kevin and Online Trading
Academy."
Mark L., November 2006
"I have taken some very expensive courses. This is the first one that actually brought everything together.
The live trading demonstrated if you were getting it or not."
Mary M., October 2006
"Wow, seven days full out of total immersion in a subject I know nothing about and now I am trading live. I
am delighted to know that at age 67 years I can still learn something new, and do it well."
Sharon H., August 2006
"The class was incredibly useful. I have taken other classes on investing. This class is unique, with hands
on, live trading with the company's money! This approach totally changes the learning experience from one of abstract knowledge to
one of hands-on-learning. After taking this class, the student actually knows how to trade! Proficiency will improve with time,
and the approaches taught will minimize losses as proficiency increases."
Walter M., June 2006
