"I wanted to drop you an email to thank you for the fabulous Forex course this week. I have learned so much and it’s already helping with my trading. I have been trading stocks for about 12 months – just learning Forex on a demo platform for now - so this afternoon I shorted a weak stock which couldn’t close the gap and applied your principles. I took one key message from from Steve, “Get a free trade as fast as you can,” and one from Sam, “Be bold and let winners run.” I sold 1000 shares short at $27.08 and exited at $25.76. I got to breakeven in 4 minutes and went on to make a profit of nearly $700 for a fairly small position size - a 5% change in stock price in just three hours. I actually only risked 0.25% of my account on the trade as it was a little speculative, so you are right Sam, the potential for letting trades run is enormous. Normally I would have settled for 30c to 50c, say $250. Never again!! You guys work really hard to help us and show great patience when we ask loads of questions! I know I am one of the worst offenders at that but I do learn loads from your answers. Thank you both very much. We are very lucky to have you two in the UK." Dave, Forex Trader, January 2010

"I just want to thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to join the professional traders course in the UK. Since I took the course I have been able to develop investing skills that help me through the year. Just when I thought everything was coming to an end, things changed because you guys helped me realize that everything is about the education and the training you can get. Again I do want to thank all of you guys, especially Kyle, for giving me the tools to succeed in this business. Since I took the course, I was able to get a return for the year of 11%, taking back all the losses from the year." William S., January 2010

"I highly recommend the course to anyone who needs some structure to their trading. It will give you a few clear rules to use to identify potential trades and then quickly minimize your exposure. These few techniques alone in my mind made the whole course value for money." Austin C., November 2009

"I thought the class was brilliant throughout. I feel much more confident now in taking trades. Don provided very concise instructions on how to enter, manage & exit trades. At the end of the day, we trade to make money and enjoy our respective lifestyle choices. I believe the course has enhanced my ability to do so. Thanks Don." David B., November 2009

Sam Evans, our tutor, has been unfailingly kind, patient and helpful throughout the course and displayed a dazzling understanding of the subject." John K., October 2009

"It is fantastic that when you initially sign up for the course, you can re-take it for life. This is extremely helpful when you re-take with different instructors. They all have a wealth of experience, ideas and styles that you can draw on to help improve your trading skills. Kyle is a highly experienced trader and instructor and his approach is very thorough. Great course, once again. Thanks." Ava D., August 2009

"It was very clear and precise delivery. Practical live trading and direct market access was a revelation compared to my spread betting background." Abdul M., August 2009

I would recommend that anyone recently made redundant should consider this as an opportunity not to be missed if they are seeking another career opportunity." Guy W., July 2009

"The class was excellent for anyone who really wants to learn the practical aspect of trading. Sam holds nothing back. The best class I have ever attended in my 30 year career as a trader. Sam Evans is the most passionate and helpful trainer ever. Amazing class. If you don’t get it after this class – then pack your things and go home. This is THE course to attend. Worth every penny of the cost and more! So many amazing strategies and the real inside info on what trading is really all about at the cutting right hand edge." Harjap S., July 2009

"Online Trading Academy London is the best trading training company in Europe. The quality of the instructors, facility and in fact students is incredible.

"The course is an excellent introduction into the world of forex. A great place to start, with experienced training staff and like minded people. A must for anyone new to forex!" Robert H., July 2009

"Steve Beaumont is an excellent instructor with good communication skills. He went straight to the point of how to be profitable. Also, he always said “Find a reason and not an excuse to get in a trade.” Showing us how to spot them. He did not give us the fish but taught us how to catch them. Thanks Online Trading Academy and special thanks to Steve." Fabio S., July 2009

"I am now ready to begin my journey into the world of Forex thanks to Online Trading Academy. Without them I wouldn't have had the know-how and confidence within myself to even begin. But now I feel very assured about taking the next step in my, hopefully, long career as a forex trader. One will definitely be coming again!!" Craig A., June 2009

"As a newbie to Forex, I found the Forex Trader course invaluable and would recommend to anyone thinking about furthering their knowledge on Forex. It was refreshing to see the diverse backgrounds of the other students which reiterated that trading isn’t just for high flying business people wearing power pin striped jackets. Thanks Online Trading Academy!" Philip C., June 2009

"For those who know nothing about trading but want to learn it is difficult to know whether a trading course is being offered by a charlatan or someone who knows what they are talking about. After having done some courses at Online Trading Academy, it is clear to me that when they talk about how and what to trade, they know exactly what they are talking about." David B., February 2009

"Online Trading Academy is really interested in getting you to perform well." David B., February 2009

"What a fantastic class....OUTSTANDING! Nothing I can really add!!" Chris A., February 2009

"Completely focused on what we need to do to make winning trades, managing targets, stops and risk. This was a great experience, best trading tuition I have ever had. I feel most fortunate and grateful to have been taught by two world class traders." Nick., February 2009

"This course was awesome. That is the only way I can describe it. This course with Sam Seiden and Kevin Mezzone was awesome. There is nowhere else that I could have received trading tuition from the 2 foremost in this field. If anyone gets the chance to do this course then what are they waiting for." Keith M., February 2009

"Sam and Kevin are both excellent in their ability to explain, to teach and to keep trading simple. Both are very professional, easy to get along with and helpful." Faris S., February 2009

"I enjoyned learning the methods to trade markets from people who actually use those same methods to make their own living. If you are not making a living out of trading - then until you have done an Online Trading Academy course - you think you know how to trade - but really don't." Andrew C., February 2009

"Thank you for the very informative and enjoyable course. Steve is a fantastic instructor, he really knows his stuff, and has a great attitude to everyone in the group regardless of their level of experience. This course has well and truly exceeded my expectations and I am looking forward to attending future courses." Maria B., January 2009

"Brilliant. I feel that I am learning so much and the structure is much better than my previous experience with Traders University. Steve Beaumont was excellent. Clear, concise, pragmatic and down to earth. He obviously knows what he is talking about, and presents it in a way which is realistic, and highly appropriate for those of us embarking upon the journey." Peter G., January 2009

2008

"Online Trading Academy London made you feel comfortable at all times, coming out of their way to ensure the perfect learning atmosphere. The content of the Forex course was full of content and worth every penny. Look forward to using the skills in the market to eventually achieve my financial goals." Iain WTG., December 2008

"This second course part allows you honing your trading strategy in a very efficient way for many various situations. Instructors are incredibly skillful and absolutely no detail is overlooked." Raphael VR., December 2008

"I began investing forty years ago and have managed large portfolios professionally but learned things on this course that perhaps I ought to have known. I intend to practice the things I have learned and will be back for more medicine in January. This course is just "what the doctor ordered." Fantastic." Guy W., December 2008

"The course gives you another vision of live trading. Plan your trade, trade your plan and do respect strictly your rules. Based on that you are constantly protected from being put out of the game. In summary, this is what I learnt. I feel now relax to trade over longer periods. The instructor I've had was unbelievably skillful! You will surely improve your strategy. If you don't consider this course, you already committed another mistake." Raphael VR., November 2008

"I had no idea what to expect from the Online Trading Academy Forex Course and feel I have come away with a pack of information and tools to confidently embark on a trading career, safe in the knowledge that the community at Online Trading Academy will always be there should I require back up." Hashmita M., November 2008

"This is the best training course I have ever attended in 40 years of professional life. The attention to detail was excellent. A major contribution to the success of the course was the fact that the instructor is a professional and highly successful trader rather than a full-time educator." Mike G., October 2008

"A quantum leap from going it alone relying on books and crowded courses. Quite simply the highest quality of education from active traders who teach what they know because it's what they do - and it works for them consistently." Graham T.,October 2008

"Before attending the course, I thought I would try to learn from trading books. I realize now that would never, never have worked. This is the only course in the UK that teaches you with real live trading but more than that, it genuinely feels like the start of an ongoing mentoring process. Online Trading Academy seems to care about your success as though you were about to trade their funds. Kevin taught us how trading is both difficult and dangerous, but we learned how to deal with this and find high probability trades." Paul P., August 2008

"I liked watching the instructor in action, commentating on his mental processes as he was doing so; back checking stock movements day by day to see if the charts/candlesticks worked." Kish S., July 2008

"I came on the course knowing a few charting patterns which had confused rather than clarified. I have learned to see the bigger picture and how to compare time frames and indicators. I have a completely different view of the markets and most importantly a series of strategies to implement. It has been intense but great fun due to the interest, experience, humor and patience of the instructor." Mary W., July 2008

"I've attended trading courses before, but Online Trading Academy courses are very hands on. You walk away seeing how it is REALLY done, not someone who probably has never traded in their life teaching you material with conviction and certainty - yet failing to pass you on any real lessons because they cannot teach what they do NOT KNOW. It is clear that Rob teaches what he has experienced and what HE DOES KNOW." Mara B., June 2008

"I was recommended to this class from former graduates, and Online Trading Academy has lived up to my expectations. The staff and instructors are all very helpful and understanding, no matter what your level of understanding." Roshahn M., June 2008

"Online Trading Academy is the place to go to save money. Online Trading Academy is the place to go for a professional trading education. Online Trading Academy is the place to go for support following training. Online Trading Academy for forex is the best by far. You get what you pay for. Online Trading Academy is real value for money. If you are serious Online Trading Academy training is fun, informative, and works. I made more in two days at the end of the course than in the previous three years total!" Peter S., June 2008

"Miraculous, magnificent, fantastic and otherwise bloody brilliant." Julian M., April 2008

"Real traders showing you how to trade the American markets with confidence and risk management. Obvious commitment to the quality of information provided and to each attendee's success. Extremely helpful and attentive staff. Would most definitely recommend to anyone serious about taking their trading to a much higher level. Thank you." Graham T., April 2008

"This course has the one essential component that all others miss - live trading when the market is open. You can get many courses run you through the theory - then you go home to try and put this into action and you have question after question and no one there to ask. The free retakes is really worthwhile, no matter how much you take in on the first sitting there will be things that you gain from any retake, particularly as it will probably be with another Instructor who may have a different take / experience to relate." Jackie H., March 2008

"I am 58 years old and never traded anything before. The class was a complete culture-shock from day one. By the end of the 4-day course I was able to plan and execute an intra-day trade with confidence and, most importantly, know why I took the trade. Excellent in all respects." Arthur G., March 2008

"A very well prepared, delivered and executed training course that covered all the topics and left this attendee well satisfied." Ian H., January 2008

2007

"This course helped me understand the common mistakes I make and how to avoid them. It helped build my confidence. When I walk out, I know what I should do and should not. I plan to become full time trader, and this course has given me the right tools that I need." Niranjan K., October 2007

"I was unfortunate to spend lots of money and time to get a proper education to become a trader. Only Online Trading Academy gave me a real chance to learn in my space and to start growing and understanding a wide picture and practical application of what we were taught. Thank you, London Online Trading Academy - all the team is doing a great job. Pleasure to be there!" Larissa H., October 2007

"This time last year I knew absolutely nothing. I went to two courses previously but could not trade successfully. I now understand about trading...no black and white brainwashing here...and very enjoyable. staff went 2nd mile to help." Margaret S., September 2007

"A very enjoyable & informative week, came away with 2 great strategies which I will add to my business plan. Shame I'm immigrating, I would have definately returned to Online Trading Academy, London. Good luck for the future!!!" Matt M., August 2007

"When looking for a Trading School we faced many "hard selling companies". Online Trading Academy is totally different. The structure of the course with fewer students in the class plus the possibility of repeating the course show us that their goal is to pass on the knowledge of successful trading. The teachers (Brandon and Ed) were great professionals with excellent teaching skills. And the UK Online Trading Academy Team is just superb, going out of their way to make our learning experience the easiest possible and a pleasurable one. We felt like family and we know we can always come back. Thanks to all." Vivian H., May 2007

"Online Trading Academy are a fantastic and ethical company. When they say you will get it at the end of the course, they mean it. You are not only introduced to the theory of trading and given lots of theoretical information. Online Trading Academy has a real interest in getting you trading for real so you get accustomed to the trading platform and how actual trading is done. Brilliant!" Alejandro B., March 2007

"Learning from a trader who has seen it all, and not just seeing him trade live, but having him behind me watching over my shoulders such a geat boost to my skill at trading and knowing the market." Peter F., January 2007
