On the pages of the Financial Education Center, you will find recommended reading and home study CDs
on the right side bar. These materials will assist you in your quest for financial education.
However, nothing will take the place of an on-location course taken at one of our
many centers worldwide, where you can practice trading live, with a trading instructor assisting
you every step of the way.
Welcome
To the Financial Education Center of Online Trading Academy
Our training programs are geared toward individual investors, novice or experienced, who want to learn how to use the
same tools and professional trading techniques as the professional traders on Wall Street.
This Financial Education Center is designed to introduce you to the basic terminology and concepts you will need to
become more successful as an investor or trader. To excel in this fascinating world of money, you need to continue to study
and learn. Especially as a novice, it is important for you to become familiar with the market in all aspects, whether your
intent is to trade or invest long-term.
Investing Essentials covers the basics of traditional investing, including value investing, growth investing,
relative valuation, fundamental analysis and a brief history of the investors that made these terms popular.
Trading Essentials covers the advantages of direct access trading versus other trading methods, how to engage in the
psychological aspects of trading, using technical indicators, and preparing yourself for live trading.
Trading Mini-movies are specially developed streaming content that appear throughout this Financial Education Center.
They are designed to get you started in each topic, but are by no means an exhaustive discussion of each. More in-depth
coverage of each topic is available from our online store.
The Glossary is a comprehensive list of trading terms to help you add new trading terminology to your vocabulary.

DISCLAIMER
This training course is designed to give information necessary and/or relevant to trading in U.S. Stock Markets and is not
intended to provide all the information required for trading. Trading involves a higher level of risk than other common
forms of capital management such as long-term investments in stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Attaining proficiency in trading
may take a long time to develop depending on the student’s capacity to understand the high degree of risk involved, aptitude
for proper risk management to preserve capital, and potential to develop all necessary skills to create profitable results.
The student must understand that actions taken in trading result in the loss of all capital and in cases that involve the use
of extended buying power and margin, one may lose all capital and subsequently assume the liability of owing additional funds
that are substantially more than the initial capital. The Online Trading Academy will not assume any responsibility due to
losses an individual or group may incur as a result of attempting to follow any advice and/or recommendations given in this
training course. Taking this training course does not guarantee success, and individuals or groups of users are solely responsible
for any risks taken. Some information provided with this course, as with many training facts and techniques, may be time-sensitive.
Some of the information provided may need updating as time passes due to new market regulations and the nature of changing markets.
