TRADING ACADEMY RATINGS & REVIEWS
At Trading Academy, we are very proud of the satisfaction ratings and reviews that we receive from our students. The ratings and reviews come from students who have joined the academy and taken our education program courses on-location in our centers or online, and across different asset classes. It is our #1 relentless commitment to do everything we can in support of our students. We emphasize the importance of all aspects of the trade; including choosing an asset class and trading style, developing a trading plan, understanding trader psychology and the importance of risk management. Combined with the student support and available online resources, it’s easy to see why many students say they never feel alone in their trading journey. It’s this ongoing relentless commitment to excellence and educational growth that keeps students coming to Trading Academy. We also have a relentless commitment to transparency, so these post class survey ratings are uploaded on a real time basis weekly to our website unfiltered and below are the cumulative ratings so far.

“ONLINE TRADING ACADEMY is the best, AWELKER”

“This is extremely efficient and highly professional, and I can’t emphasize enough how incredibly friendly the environment was. No stone is left unturned, they even explain how to use the mouse all the way to all different asset classes such as Options Futures Stocks Forex Crypto and....
Unfortunately, many out there cannot explain the foundation of online trading in an academic and structured way. The lab work in the classroom is on a whole other level, nothing like I’ve witnessed before.
Once you go through this, trading online becomes fluid, smooth, and easy. Your job is simply to apply it as much as you can with real money (only 1% of your trading account per trade).
Independent and free—because you can access money online anytime you want.”

“My name is Steven, I came to OTA in Oct 2025 fresh out of tax season (I am an EA) and attended the 3-day market timing class with Darren Kimoto. Following that course, I was eager to learn more about the next step in the OTA curriculum which is Core Strategy. I completed Core Strategy in Feb 2026 with Cameron Kaiser and was pleasantly surprised by his depth of trading knowledge and technical skill with how to teach and implement the strategy. During the course I took a number of paper (simulated) trades in the stock and currency markets with reasonable success. I also learned how to set up a short position for the first time. Cam was very helpful at explaining the methodology deployed by OTA and how to determine which brokers are suitable for the types of trading we might pursue. I look forward to attending Core again in about a year to brush up on the system and I am also planning to attend some other classes offered by OTA in the meantime.”

“Enjoyed taking the Core Strategy Course in Person. I learn much better when I am in person so this class was the best way to take the course for me. The resources available are also super helpful in makin sure you set yourself up for success. Having the assistant and instructor available to answer any questions was also a plus in attending the in person course. ”

“I said very likely, but honestly I my circle of friends and family is very small and I've already talked to them about OTA. I still rated it a 10 because I will always mention the academy to people who have interest in creating additional income steams for themselves and learning a new skill. It brings you in touch with such a diverse group of people, all with different ideas and thought processes. This makes it very fun and exciting. --Nancy Barr”
