Comments from an Online Trading Academy Grad:

"Let me echo some of the comments made in class yesterday about live trading. Although I enthusiastically enrolled in this class without knowing about this added benefit, having met you folks at Anaheim in August and taking an earlier class, it would be hard to overstate the importance of the added value of the opportunity to do live trading in class. Many of us who have come this far understand--intellectually--the importance, even dominance, of the psychologic aspect of trading.

However no matter how well trained we think we may be, nothing prepares us for that initial confrontation with our emotions in the grip of actual market battle. It's not that real money is being used (it's not even my money). Rather it is the undeniably uncomfortable realization that I am exposing myself (and all that that means) to that vast, mentally uncharted territory called The Market. However the opportunity to do so with the protection and guidance, psychologic as well as financial, of professional traders, who are on my side, made the experience significantly less intimidating.

It became exciting and fun, as well as educational; it was positively challenging instead of frustrating and confusing. On a personal note: although I had never done any trading before, I realized some time ago that I would have difficulty with "pulling the trigger." By having now been able to do so in such a supportive environment, not only am I better able to understand and prepared to deal with any hesitancy; I am eagerly looking forward to immediately continuing my trading practice at home. Thanks doesn't cover it. M."

Testimonials

"I really have enjoyed taking the Pro Trader part 1 class. It has opened my eyes to the opportunities that are available to me. Kevin Green really is here to help me be successful in my future. This is the first class like this that I have taken that was instructed by someone that really enjoys helping others. Keep up the good work..."

Larry R., January 2008

"Knowledgeable teacher, great delivery, lots of examples. Have had some exposure to terms and concepts in my own reading, however the class provided lots of informative nuggets I would never have found in my library... thank you very much. Education has been gold thus far, looking forward to part 2."

Steven S., February 2008

"This course is the best educational experience for trading I have experienced thus far. There is no way to learn this valuable information on your own ... hundreds or even thousands of hours I have spent in frustration at home trying to learn have been turned around with 3 days of Online Trading Academy training and education. It will definitely take practice and time but I feel I am heading in the right direction and am abandoning all my bad habits in order to be successful. Brandon is a great teacher and I will definitely take his class again in the future."

February 2008

"Excellent course for learning about market behavior and for planning and safely executing trades. I believe that my trading will be very positively improved by the information I learned in this class. The instructor is an experienced trader who gladly shared his insights and experience with the class. He was able to teach to a class with mixed experience (novices as well as experienced traders) and to meet the needs of all the students. I highly recommend this class for new and for experienced day traders."

Dr. Charles O. G. June 2006

"This is Direct Access Trading 101 at it's best. I know of no other place where you can get such a comprehensive hand's-on introduction into a very complex world. You learn skills you can't pick up from a book or seminar."

Craig W., December 2005

"Online Trading Academy courses are a MUST for beginners and seasoned traders. The lessons are invaluable. Simply put, you can't find anything like it! There's no replacement for the knowledge you will acquire after you attend Online Trading Academy courses."

Carlos, Sept. 2005

"This class far exceeded my expectations."

Joanne T., August 2005

"If trading is what you want to do, then this is the class to be taken."

Rhenon L., July 2005

"Great class....This is not a hotel seminar! This is a great introduction to Direct Access Trading!!! **** 4 Stars out of 4."

Ed R.

"The knowledge gained should quickly easily return the cost of the course."

Bob M., May 2005

"I would highly recommend this course to all 'newbies' to the trading arena. It gives a strong background to and basis for future, more advanced courses."

Sidney H., April 2005

"Out of all the choices available in trading education, I am certainly glad I selected Online Trading Academy. It's been extremely worthwhile."

Jil T.

"From beginner to experienced, this class helps to fill in the blanks that help to build the confidence you need to get into the market and compete with other traders."

Rick B. Sept. 2005

"Great class....This is not a hotel seminar! This is a great introduction to Direct Access Trading!!! **** 4 Stars out of 4."

Ed R.

"The class was very much hands on training since I have never done trading nor am I that much familiar with computers. Lots of encouragement and reality of what to expect as a new trader."

Diane P., August 2004

"If you're thinking of trading the market, it is very important you educate yourself before doing it and with this course, it over qualified my expectations... I see people that have no idea of day trading, to traders who have years of experience taking this class and learned a lot. Never stop learning...And best of all, the tuition you pay is reimbursed back."

Ruel O.

"Mike, Bruce, and the team at Online Trading Academy have been a tremendous blessing to us, in helping form our financial future. Please pass this along to the others."

Phil and Polly C.

"Did I get my money's worth? Every dime!"

Rich L.

"Online Trading Academy has given me additional confidence to trade professionally, not only from the on site coursework, but also by having them as ongoing support. I highly recommend Online Trading Academy to anyone serious about trading."

R.T.

"This class is like learning to ride a bicycle, once you do know how to, you shall never forget. Just read the course material as often as you can. Thanks a lot guys."

Ketan G.

"I didn't really know what to expect, but 2 hours into the first day, I felt a tremendous relief when I realized these guys really knew what they were talking about. I have immediately used the charting and trending techniques taught in class, changed my on-line broker so that I am now direct and today, my first day of trading after returning home, I've made 7 trades...5 winners and two very minor losers. My confidence has taken a huge leap. I'll be back to take the class again...what a bargain!"

D. Gardner, Pro Trader Plus, July 2004

"I thought I was an okay trader who needed a little polish. This has changed my whole way of trading. I now have the TOOLS I need to be a professional trader. And of course, I know where to go to get help when I have problems."

Brad F., April 2005

"I struggled with some comments through out the course, but in afterthought, I am glad for the brashness with which Mike delivered his answers to my questions. Because, he taught me lessons that will be hard to forget."

Benjamin, May 2005

"Mike's an incredible wealth of knowledge, both theoretical and practical. One hour with him is worth months of effort with self study in the school of hard knocks."

John H., July 2005
