2010

"My wife and I have been students of Online Trading Academy. I lost my job in July and with what I have learned from the stock and futures classes, with the help of the XLT, I will be able to provide for my family. If anyone wants to secure their future the courses taught at Online Trading Academy and the ongoing support that you receive will make success happen. This is not a get rich quick scheme. It will take a lot of hard work and perseverance. There are times that I will spend going back and listening to hours with the pros from their archives and reading the articles that are provided from Online Trading Academy. There are days that I will make between $400 and $500 and I have only been doing this since April of 09. At Online Trading Academy, they are there to support you for a lifetime and the staff and instructors around the country are available to answer any of your questions to make you successful. I would highly recommend investigating the opportunities that are provided by Online Trading Academy." Bernie W., February 2010

"Currently, I have taken the ProTrader, Futures, Forex, Platform, Commodities and Trading Plan classes offered at the Charlotte location. Without exception, these classes provided instruction from highly qualified professional traders, who also possess great teaching skills. They answered every question in the class with the patience of Job and still got us through all of the material. I am convinced the value of this experience far exceeds the cost and I have signed-on for the Options class and three XLT's. Although I have only taken classes at the Charlotte facility, I can't imagine that there is a more friendly and helpful staff in any of the many locations of Online Trading Academy." Jim T., February 2010

"It was the most stress-free trade I’ve ever made! I wasn’t even watching the screen when I heard the 'Order filled' announcement. I then started watching the screen. Sure enough, it had come back up into the supply area, triggered my short entry, and then began to drop like a rock. I watched the profits on 1000 shares build and, using the matrix, moved my stop down in $50 increments once I had passed $200 in profit, not wanting to let it go all the way back up. My target of $28.93, right in the middle of the target zone I had identified, was hit and I got out with a $600 profit that took all of about 12 minutes. I know they won’t all be that easy, but I can’t tell you how gratifying it was to actually make a plan for a trade, set it in motion and let it work. I was totally comfortable using the order entry system the way you taught us and able to see how successful I can be if I use rules and systematic order development rather than just jump in and out at random which is what I have been doing way too much. I know I could not have made this trade before attending the platform class." Judy G., February 2010

"Excellent facility, excellent staff, excellent instruction, put me on a clear path, what more can I say, about my incredible experience, at Online Trading Academy." Cory W., February 2010

"I was impressed with how different strategies can be used to make my trading that much more helpful and hopefully will build confidence and simplify my techniques. The knowledge I learned will only build on itself and result in better risk management and profits. Also, access to stock search information and other tools will only enhance my approach to trading. I look forward to future education and better ways to improve my trading." Richard T., January 2010

"I enjoyed this class very much. I have been trading for 6-8 months and didn't have a plan! I will not make another trade without one!" Sam C., January 2010

"Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you and your staff having a genuine concern for me and fellow Online Trading Academy students. Everyone there bent over backwards to offer me help...I also want to let you know I am hooked on this...especially XLT. I cannot get enough of it...I want to hurry up and make enough money to retire so I can watch and participate in everything Online Trading Academy has to offer." Tony A., January 2010

"After participating in many other comprehensive trading courses I believe this one provides the most hands-on, personal guidance by a highly qualified instructor with excellent teaching skills." Jim H., November 2009

"The class is ideal for anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of trading E-Mini Futures. You will leave the week-long class with your brain packed with information, that will require many weeks of practice to truly master. But then you will be ready to trade - and take the course again to refresh those important points that you may have forgotten. There doesn't seem to be a faster, better way to do this." Stephen B., November 2009

"Of all the courses I've taken to date, this one is by far the best. Strictly information based, no high pressure sales intermingled with bits and pieces of information. Strictly a top notch, professional educational environment. No pressure, relaxed and easy flowing. Great bunch of people to deal with. Would recommend to anyone wanting to broaden their financial understanding." Steve W., October 2009

"I have gained great knowledge in stock trading, accomplishing beyond my goals which were: learning to make money in a down market and controlling losses." Warren S., October 2009

" I highly recommend this course!! If you have any trading experience, it will make you better. If you don't have any trading experience, you will obtain the fundamentals of market knowledge and trading knowledge...... What you learn here can be used to help you manage your money whether you trade for a living or are looking to take control of your retirement account and/or nest egg. You can begin to take control of your financial life!!" Gregory J., September 2009

"Thought the class was well worth the money and time spent. Have already recommended course to family and friends." Milton G., November 2008

"After reading about investing in the stock market for several years and stressing about how to go about it (not being naturally inclined toward mathematics), I heard about Online Trading Academy and decided to check out their Professional Trader Learning Experience. I think this course provides an excellent means to bridge the gap between reading about working the stock market and actually doing it. I feel much more confident now that I understand better how the market works and can successfully take advantage of it with minimal risk. Thank you Online Trading Academy for positioning me for success!" Katrina S., November 2008

"The revelation of the "mind" of the stock market was awesome. Random, irrational movements now make perfect sense; I have renewed confidences in my own ability to control my trades. I would recommend the Broad Market Analysis course unconditionally to any recent or experienced trader wishing to make more money." Leo C., August 2008

"As a stock trader for 35+ years, the knowledge gained from Online Trading Academy for the trading of Forex was absolutely necessary for me. Trading Forex without Online Trading Academy would be like going on a long road trip in unknown territory without any roadmap and planning. I look forward to the refresher courses which are offered for free." Richard S., July 2008

"I just completed the Professional Trader course this last week in Charlotte, NC. I am writing to you to let you know how impressed I was, not only with the course but with everyone that was involved. Justin is a fabulous leader for the Charlotte office. He has a friendly staff that can't seem to do enough for the clients. I was taught by Sal and he is an excellent instructor and I enjoyed his teaching style very much. It was a great experience and I gained a huge amount of knowledge about trading. I am a retired airline pilot and usually airline pilots are good at just one thing: flying airplanes. I have known many airline pilots who have crashed and burned when they undertook endeavors outside of aviation. However, I have wanted to do this for some time, even though I have never been involved in trading. I decided to take your course to get educated and become more informed about becoming involved in this challenging area. I will be following through and begin my trading in a very slow and disciplined manner, as was taught in the course. If I can get my trading airborne, I will be back to learn more." Paul T., June 2008

"As someone who has not traded, I've developed a confidence to go back home and evaluate my current portfolio and take charge of it." Michelle K., June 2008

"This course has provided me with a plan and the discipline that must be followed before entering and exiting a trade. I really believe that now I can recover the money I have lost trading." Esteban J., April 2008
