  • "Good morning. I just wanted to take a minute and thank you very much and say that my experience in the Forex class last week will be one that I remember for the duration of my Forex trading career. To be completely honest with you, I felt that I got my money’s worth the first day. Every day after that was simply a bonus. There were certain aspects of my trading that I struggled really hard with, and also had a tough time understanding and applying them to my trading. You, with your explanations and examples, shed light and gave me a level of understanding that I now realize would’ve taken me months and lots of my hard earned money to figure out. Now I have to admit that the success I had before attending class was nothing more than blind luck. And you know how far that will take a trader. When I look at charts now, it’s almost as if I’m wearing 3-D glasses. The zones literally jump out at me. I don’t struggle with finding the zones the way I used to, and I understand that every zone isn’t one that I need to be trading. When I attended the XLT yesterday, my understanding of the charts was “off the charts!” The hard right edge exercise that you showed us, I can’t even to begin to explain, that in that short amount of time has helped me tremendously. I’ve even told a fellow trader that I attended the Professional Trader Course and about this exercise. The only drawback to this exercise is that I can’t quit doing it. I didn’t get to bed till 1:30 in the morning one night last week. Well, I didn’t mean to get carried away, but my intent was just to say thank you and that your instruction, and the tips you gave is definitely something that I will keep with me my entire career, which at this point I believe will be long and prosperous. Thank You."

  • "I'd like to thank the OTA staff and my instructor for a very informative and inspiring course. I am a retake. I came here to gain mastery on the subject. I feel the OTA course and the OTA core strategy has equipped me with a powerful toolkit to achieve my goals and realize greater success as a professional Forex trader. My instructor is a very strong trader. He is intelligent and a master communicator. I think he has done an outstanding job to educate me and facilitate my learning so that I may advance to the next level."

  • "The basic OTA strategy really works. I was totally new to trading before attending the Professional Trader class but because the class started with the basics and then presented principles of successful trading in an organized, clear manner, I was able to quickly grasp the essentials of successful trading. As an airline captain I’m used to following checklists, so the OTA concept of establishing a detailed plan for trading has worked very well for me. I also appreciate the additional resources available on the web site and from the staff that have helped me to develop and refine my skills. I’m very glad I took this course. I really enjoy doing trading using the OTA system."

  • "The course material was excellent. The instructor, Kevin Green, was "out of this world." Thank all of your team."

  • "I was not sure how the class would be configured or what the training would entail. The class provided such a multitude of information and skill training, so much so I feel I want to take it again. I loved the help from my instructor Steve, who is a very funny, knowledgeable man, was very patient and understanding and made you feel as though every question was important. The material learned was mind opening about the market and how it operates. The skills learned will help me with navigating the market successfully, with continued guidance and support until I become a market guru and am able to teach classes for OTA."
    Rosanne G., April 2013
  • "OTA has gathered the right content and relevant aspects of trading for all its students to benefit and become successful. The professionalism and breadth of scope is huge and I will recommend this trading school to anyone serious about becoming a consistent trader."
    Armando T., April 2013
  • "The courses are expensive but every penny is worth it. This is because not only can you retake the courses, but the high quality of training and knowledge provided is so very essential to anyone hoping to be a successful trader."
    Faridoon H., April 2013
  • "Thank You, OTA, for making my trades a lot more simple to understand them. I am very happy that I enrolled and think the money I've spent is well worth it!"
