absolutely top notch. I love the mission statement referring to transforming lives- what a great aspiration."
Caroline M., December 2009
"I thought the option course provided an intensive and relatively broad exposure to the material; as much
and more than one could expect in the given time. My brain was both french-fried and highly stimulated by the end of the course!
The instructor was also great."
Sanford E., December 2009
"This place is like one family. Thanks to you all!"
Nneka N., November 2009

is friendly."
Patricia S., November 2009
"Instructors at Online Trading Academy are involved in trading, and you get the real world perspective, not
only theory. They show you how to trade not only verbal instruction."
Doug S., November 2009
"Boston Online Trading Academy is a perfect ten in every regard. I have felt this way since the first time I
entered the academy in December of 2008. I am a slow learner but Online Trading Academy Boston has never given up on me. Now I am at
the point where I feel sure to make it as a good trader. Thank you Boston Online Trading Academy!"
Wayne N., October 2009
"This class was an awesome experience having come from the two day hotel saga, which was for a whole lot
more money and no where near the education base! I would truly recommend Boston Online Trading Academy to anyone wanting to learn
the right way to manage and trade their accounts."

anyone interested in developing and improving his trading skills."

done from a book."
Patricia S., February 2009

Bob W., February 2009
"This class was everything that was advertised and more. A very relaxed but instructive atmosphere. Bert is
excellent."
Walter D., February 2009

help me become successful is obvious."
Norm, January 2009

and, after taking this course, found out I was trading all wrong. Thanks Online Trading Academy."
Greg S., January 2009
"The Pro Trader classes were much more than I expected. I loved the hands-on, real trading environment and
seeing the instruction actually happen. I'm looking forward to putting my Trading Plan to use."
David E., January 2009
"The 7 Day Pro Trader Course far exceeded my expectations. The system is simple and repeatable, with a high
probability for success. Bert is an enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable instructor who stayed late most nights to answer
questions and demonstrate techniques. A phenomenal experience. Thanks, Bert."
Vince P., January 2009
"I have recommended Online Trading Academy to several people and will continue to do so. It is dedicated to
helping us to learn how to work the market and make money for a better quality of life."
Eileen K., January 2009
2008
"Let me start by saying the class was awesome! I have taken other training elsewhere, but none came close to
what I received here at Online Trading Academy. Bert, the instructor is passionate about helping his students in gaining the
knowledge necessary to trade the market; he makes sure everyone understands all aspects and utilizes analogies to help convey his
messages/points. Online Trading Academy provides an indepth look at what the markets are doing and how to trade in a fast paced
environment (day trading). Excellent class!"
Calvin S., December 2008
"Once again you can not beat the overall training of Online Trading Academy. Everyone at Online Trading
Academy is 100% dedicated in making sure you do not loose money!!!"
John T., October 2008
"Online Trading Academy was just what I needed. Before Online Trading Academy I felt lost and overwhelmed
with my trading activities. The classes were very helpful, and now I already have a plan to start execution and a whole set of new
skills to succeed in the market as a trader."
Paul G., September 2008
"This course has already caused me to groom my own stock account, put the protections in place and improve
my own execution. It has helped me pulled together the many pieces that I knew had to be achieved. The content exposed me to so
much more than I had any clue was available in the previous experience that I have had."
Larry D., August 2008
"Thank you. This class ALREADY HAS improved my trading. There's nothing else that I could say. THANK YOU."
Charlie A., July 2008
"This is the only time, ever, I have spent money on something related to the stock market and left not
feeling like I had been taken advantage of. Online Trading Academy has truly made me a believer in their sincere desire to help
others become successful traders. They go above and beyond in every way you ask them to. They have become part of my family now
and I feel as though I have found friends, as well as support for life. Thank you Online Trading Academy for all that you do. I am
privledged to have found Online Trading Academy."
Joseph P., July 2008
"As a new trader it is easy to lose a lot of money quickly. Without the disciplines taught at the Online
Trading Academy school most would give up quickly and perhaps be broke. Online Trading Academy is like having your father watch
over. Like a father, Online Trading Academy consistantly demonstrates that their interest lies in your success and not in taking
your money. I have enrolled for the advanced classes because of that. I am an Online Trading Academy student for life."
John T., July 2008
"This course was much more hands-on than any of the hotel seminar courses I have taken. I think a critical
advantage of Online Trading Academy courses is that the online practical training builds "confidence" in a student's ability to
trade "live," while seminar courses don't provide this critical benefit."
Bob P., May 2008
"First, the Boston Online Trading Academy center is very comfortable. All of the staff are very nice and
helpful. Scott always pays attention and he gives me tips and directs me in the right way. What can I say about Bert, because of
him this class is priceless. No matter what price we pay it's worth it. The Active Investor Class really improved my knowledge
about investing. I only took one finance class in college and it only focuses on small companies. Online Trading Academy taught me
everything I know today. I have started looking for a new broker to start investing for long-term and I know what I'm doing because
of Bert and this class. Thank you, Bert, Scott, and Online Trading Academy Boston Staff."
Salman, May 2008
"I have traded stock for 20 years. Read many books from Warren Buffet's ex daughter in law, to the blue
book, red book. Watched Cramer. Last year had a strategy of covered calls that was working fine for 5-6 months until I started
getting called out on winners that took off and losing money on stocks that were going down, and I didn't have stop loss on because
of the covered call. I started losing and losing and was lost because my strategy wasn't working. After coming to this class I have
a new perspective and feel that I can invest(trade)better by using the techiiques learned here, especially using stop losses and
letting the winners run. Summary is that I have completely changed, in 1 week, everything that I have been doing for 20 years. Great
class."
Jim S., April 2008
"As a novice trader I feel that this class will pay for itself in a very short time. I will retake this class
again. I have read many books on trading but without an instructor you can only go so far. The information is so much you need
someone to sort it out for you or you will be doomed to a short career. The time you waste trying to understand how the market works
by yourself is ridiculous and you will never know if you are looking at things in the proper light. Bert is a great instructor. I
would highly recommend this course for anyone who does not want to lose money trading."
John T., February 2008
"If I ever doubted that the class would be worth the time and money, I have put all those reservations to
rest."
Vincent L., January 2008
2007
"For this time around, I was only able to attend half of the day because of work. I will re-attend on a full
time basis soon. However I can see how valuable the instruction is and can be. I look forward to the full program. Even at the
partial time attended I feel the course was worth the money. It has given me information that I would never have obtained on my own.
Without the program I would have been limited in ability no matter how much I worked at improving myself. Bert is an asset and I
look forward to another of his classes."
Robert K., November 2007
"The class was a bit different than what I expected, and when I first reviewed the material on the first day
I was a bit disappointed. I thought it was covering material that I knew, or so I thought. It was a real eye opener, after the second
day I couldn't wait to get home and disect some charts."
Bob C., October 2007
"The content of the class instruction was highly insightful and informative. The opportunity to view and
experiment with a level II platform was unique and valuable training in the process of trading."
B. J., Ocboer 2007
"Thank you Online Trading Academy, for the quality of your education, instructors, and learning environment.
Your staff makes us feel welcomed to come back and retake the classes as often as possible, and this is part of the best value of
this course."
Reynolds L., October 2007
"Where else could I possibly learn a new profession for just $5K!?! With the education and experience I have
gained and will continue to gain from Online Trading Academy, there's no doubt that I will be able to support my family thru trading.
Thank you Online Trading Academy, you change lives."
Charlie A., April 2007
"This is a very worthwhile education and training adventure. Anyone who is really serious about trading as a
business NEEDS to go through this program. Trading is a very structured and disciplined endeavor and this course gives you the
necessary tools and focus to be successful and enjoy the trading process."
William D., April 2007
"This is the first real trading class that I have experienced and enjoyed. The other trading classes that I
attended did not provide the material and focus needed to be a professional trader. Online Trading Academy Boston is the best."
Robert H., April 2007
"I can honestly say the system works! I originally attended the inaugural class here in November and have
been trading since. I took it again (as an auditor) because the shear amount of material and resources is just too extensive to
absorb all at once. My trading has improved significantly. If I can continue to control my emotions and stick to my plan, I'm on
track to do very well this year. Keep up the good work Bert, and thanks for everything!!"
Raymond D., January 2007
"The course actually pays for itself with the broker's rebate and more importantly the daily Online Trading
Academy picks, if followed will present a great buying opportunity for each student. In other words, the course pays for itself
and then some. A true WIN-WIN."
Joe D., January 2007
"This course was highly fascinating and was more than I ever expected. It is going to take me months to
digest the information and master the techniques that were presented in the class. The hand-out materials are also first rate.
They give you everything you need to know to be a successful trader. I also appreciate the fact that Online Trading Academy allows
future class retakes and is available for consultations if I get in a jam. I am glad to have Online Trading Academy on my side,
backing me up. Thank you all so much."
Ross M., January 2007
"Vastly different from "hotel" courses in building a student's post-course confidence: 1. Using Online
Trading Academy's money to trade removes the fear of "jumping in," getting experience, making mistakes. 2. "Brick-and-mortar"
classroom delivery demonstrates Online Trading Academy's commitment to students. 3. Lifetime re-take/audit of courses tremendous
for skills enhancement, concept reinforcement."
Mark H., January 2007
2006
"This is a course I would whole heartedly recommend to anyone who is serious about learning how to trade as
a business. I've been to so many other courses out there, and it is refreshing when there is no smokescreen or other misleading
statistics; but total honesty and passion from the instructors in helping us become better traders. Thank you for putting together
such a comprehensive level of education for us."
Reynolds L., November 2006
"If you want to learn how to actually trade I would recommend anyone to take this class before you place
any of your own money into the market, otherwise you will end up losing more than the tuition fee of your own money, then you will
still have to take the class. Great friendly staff, Very, very knowledgeable. I learned some very important things at the class,
mainly how to preserve capitol."
Daniel B., November 2006
"I have just taken the Pro Trader 1 class and feel I have an approach that I can go and put into practice.
There is a lot to learn in three days but the trainers, the content, the people and THE LIVE TRADING gives you an amazing insight
into how to trade with a plan and minimize risk. Great sounds to my ears! Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone
seriously thinking about trading."
Lawrence P.K., November 2006
"As a beginner trader, this Online Trading Academy course has improved my trading skills with hands-on
training and knowledge that would have taken me years to acquire on my own, and lots lost on missed or lost trades."
Larry B., November 2006
"The course provides all the basic knowledge needed to get a start in trading. It is well organized and
comprehensive. Thank you.."
Abbas R., November 2006
