2013
"Pleasant environment." Robin K., March 2013
"Class was taken during a transitional period as the center was moving. Considering this fact, I think the attitude of OTA staff was amazing. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful!" Danelle C., January 2013

2012

"All center staff are GREAT." Jeffrey M., October 2012
"The overall atmosphere was comfortable, Great staff and instructor! Students were great as well." Mike B., October 2012
"OTA classes are a good value. The ability to repeat them is what sold me originally. The first time most people hear something we retain only a small proportion. After working with the subject, it has more meaning and value with each repetition." Don J., September 2012
"Avoid the "we have the market trading trick that no one else knows" scams. OTA teaches you how to trade the market using proven methodology that includes many different techniques, but concentrates on the discipline and risk management employed by the trader - NOT "magic tricks." Jim H., August 2012
"I came in knowing NOTHING! I have gained more knowledge in one week than all the YEARS I have been working with my broker. My head is still spinning! The people are helping me to get up and running, and I am hoping to be trading in a few weeks, maybe in SIMS, but LIVE soon. Awesome people to hang with." Bonnie B., July 2012
"I love OTA." Pedro G., June 2012

"I appreciated the quality instruction from top-notch instructors with a sincere desire to see we learn to become disciplined and successful traders without trying to sell us some hyped up product. I liked my experience. It met my expectations which was difficult as they were high." Peter M., June 2011
"As an experienced trader I was hesitant as to whether or not there would be enough value in attending the class and reviewing many concepts I have already been utilizing. In fact, the additional commentary by an instructor far more experienced than I was invaluable. I will be recommending the class to other traders I know who are sure to benefit from the experience. The staff was awesome; friendly and inviting." Kevin W., May 2011
"Excellent staff. Very helpful." Bali P., May 2011

"Amazing and friendly staff and owner. Yummy food and snacks." Fred S., February 2011
"So far I have spent time with 5 different instructors. They have all been top in their field, professional and personable, able to adapt to the individual student's experience level and/or abilities, while leaving their ego's at home. Online Trading Academy has never pressured me into any decisions, and my counselor, Todd, has patiently waited for me to decide when to make my next educational move. Todd's contacts along the way have been to remind me that he is here for me and not to push me at all." Chris L., January 2011
"As always, a fabulous staff willing to help in any manner necessary to make the learning experience successful." John T., January 2011
"I like the classroom setting of Online Trading Academy. The retake option is what made me sign up with in the first place. Online Trading Academy is the best thing going out there! I can honestly say that taking the Pro Trader Course with Online Trading Academy has changed my life. I have always been interested in the stock market but lacked the skills and knowledge to trade effectively. I took the Pro Trader course one year ago and am happy to say my first year of trading was profitable, exciting, challenging and rewarding. Thank you Online Trading Academy!" Julie G., January 2011
2010
"Thanks for the excellent learning environment, good food and support staff. Makes it easy to come in!" Leif G., December 2010
"I am a confirmed skeptic and after two years of dealing with Online Trading Academy I am a convert. They deliver what they promise and they don't promise what they cannot deliver." Leroy C., December 2010
"I have been to other trading courses and companies that teach you to trade, but Online Trading Academy has the attitude of making sure we understand the ups and downs of trading before you get in. Sean is a great resource for Online Trading Academy." Kimberly L., November 2010
"Your program is well organized." Chuck K., October 2010
"The staff is terrific. I would recommend Online Trading Academy to ANYONE who wants to improve their trading skills. An overall excellent experience." Bill D., September 2010
"Online Trading Academy undersold itself on what it would do for me. Great people with incredible depth of experience have made it time and money well spent." Bill B., September 2010
"Online Trading Academy's way of teaching has been a great help in my decisions. This system is a must for anyone who "THINKS THEY ARE A TRADER." Once you are educated in trading systems, you will find your trading is not a gamble." Kimberly L., August 2010
"My experience in attending the Seattle Online Trading Academy was the most amazing experience I have ever experienced in any business course. The staff, the owner and the teacher are First class people that care about your success. They open their heart and soul to the students." Fred S., August 2010
"Online Trading Academy encourages good trading habits helping you to focus on proper risk management and proper attitude. It does not promise to be a "get rich quick scheme" and does not promise to be easy. If you are willing to devote the time and effort to becoming a good trader, Online Trading Academy is the place for you. The hands-on trading under the guidance of an instructor is extremely helpful." Stephen S., July 2010
"I have been trading for years and every time I come back to retake the class I always learn something new. Debbie added more information that I can use in my daily trading." Roy, June 2010
"Seattle Online Trading Academy are the nicest people I have ever paid money to. The clear concise information that Online Trading Academy provides is valuable not only in my trading, but in my everyday life as well. Thanks Online Trading Academy!" Gabriel E., June 2010

"All of the staff were helpful and friendly. I am now prepared to make trades, analyze my positions, limit my losses, and take profits. Thank you Sean." Sky W., April 2010
"I was surfing the web and came upon Online Trading Academy and called to ask questions. I had been burned once before by a group that was supposed to teach me and when I went through the initial class everyone assured me they were not like the others. I can safely say I found a group of people that really care about my trading and making sure I have the right tools and not the money we spend on the education. The staff here needs to have a pat on the back because everyone helped in making this a good experience for us." Steve I., March 2010
"The Seattle Staff is top notch, hospitable, friendly, helpful and most of all, very concerned about their students and making this an outstanding experience." Michael L., March 2010
"Online Trading Academy is an invaluable tool for those looking to supplement and stabilize income through very usable tools. Great environment and atmosphere. It was a very good experience. I highly recommend it!" Bill K., March 2010
"I am a very skeptical person, especially when it comes to spending more than a few hundred dollars for an intangible. Having taken the Pro Trader class a year ago, and repeating it twice since then, and working at learning about trading and investing almost daily during the past year, without hesitation, I will say Online Trading Academy is exceptionally reputable and delivers what they promise. The cost of the Online Trading Academy class is a great bargain. Thank you." Leroy C., February 2010
"THE FOOD! Awesome. The staff does a superb job with everything. Above and beyond every step of the way! Thank you! You don't know what you're missing! Newbies can become skilled and the skilled become pros!" Max K., February 2010
"Too often a service like this is oversold but under-delivered. Online Trading Academy correctly explained their purpose while over-delivering. Some of the best money I've spent." Dale E., February 2010
"The experience and training I got in Seattle really gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to commit and become a successful trader. The instructor was outstanding and the personnel offered support and precious guidance." Annie T., February 2010
2009
"Terrific experience, truly raised my trading expertise that, with a little practice, should lift my profitability and enjoyment of trading to the next level. I enjoyed the instructor's zest for teaching the material and everyone at Online Trading Academy Seattle. Everyone tried to make this a very positive experience and tried to take us to the next level in trading. Thanks." John T., December 2009
"I realized that I could have taken a great vacation with the money I spent on my course instead of commuting to class every day to work hard. I am so glad I traded a trip for this course, however, because it was as memorable as a vacation, yet, it was educational, informative and challenging -- and my time was so enjoyable. Everyone was professional and genuine. I am more confident and am on my way to being a legitimate day trader only because of this high quality school." Susan P., December 2009
"This was exceptional training presented in a very clear and concise manner which has enhanced my appreciation of a professional trader. Our instructor, Jeff, presented the course material in a very hands-on manner with a very pleasant delivery." John T., October 2009
"This course was truly enlightening. Nothing else has come close to the level of quality of information and professionalism that I've experienced with Online Trading Academy. Opportunity of a lifetime!!!" Luke H., October 2009
"I have been trading / investing in the blind. I now have more confidence to know what to analyze before trading. How to read the markets, what setups to look for. Tremendous amount of great information. I can't wait for Pro Trader II." Jim C., October 2009
"The instructor, class materials, environment, and facility are all just terrific!" Kenneth C., September 2009

"This course unraveled the complexities of trading in an easy to understand format which was also made interesting. I would highly recommend Online Trading Academy to anyone thinking about trading in the future. I fully expect to continue and will definitely be taking further education with Online Trading Academy." Graham C., May 2009
"I really felt it has been time well spent. This instructor was personable and friendly and did a great job of keeping things moving without a rushed feeling. Enjoyable and valuable." Doris G., April 2009
"The Online Trading Academy center here in Seattle is a fantastic vehicle for understanding trading on a truly non-pressure, fundamental basis. The staff at the center was very courteous...the Seattle center is top rated." Greg C., March 2009
"Trade station classes in Seattle are exceptionally valuable. They took me from almost no knowledge to having a good grasp of the subject on a very sharp curve. The instructors are obviously experts in their field and bring in skills that can probably not be gained in any other way." J. C., March 2009
"This is the 5th Online Trading Academy class that I've taken and they just keep getting better and better. Each instructor brings a unique perspective to the table that enhances your understanding and ability to trade. The class was money well spent and the return on investment will continue to grow exponentially!!" John H., March 2009
"I am glad there is Online Trading Academy. It is that simple." John F., February 2009
"I appreciated the live trading and taking time to learn that lowering risk and following your trade plan is more important than making money." George S., February 2009
"Everyone associated with Online Trading Academy was very knowledgeable, friendly and seemed interested that I achieve my goals." Mark A., January 2009
"I've had the unfortunate experience and history of divesting funds on less than productive schemes and methods of investing in various financial markets. Online Trading Academy is the first and only company I've come across who are real traders, with real experience, willing to teach how the market works. My search for continuing education has found a home and an alma matre." Mike Q., January 2009
2008
"I first heard about Online Trading Academy opening a campus here from Craig. I told him that I wanted to sign up for the Forex course before he even had a physical address for the school. I was very impatient for the course to start. I had no expectations, but was certain that this would be a high intensity, fast paced and very informative class. I first came to the Grand Opening to see what this was all about and right after the presentation signed up for the Platinum Passport. It seemed like a lot of money at first, but for the amount of knowledge you will receive, hands on training, support from instructors and the opportunity to retake the class over and over, it's a great deal. As I came to the first day of the Forex Trading Class, as an amateur Forex trader with no previous schooling, I was excited about learning a few new things. As we began I realized that I would learn much more than I could imagine learning in the 5 days of the 2 part course. I feel that the knowledge after the class and the confidence I already feel that I am building up, I will be making money in no time and will recommend Online Trading Academy to all of my friends who are traders or have looked into trading. I think that the way Online Trading Academy is structured and the size of the class, the student receives the most possible knowledge and opportunity to ask questions and practice hands on with the instructor nearby for help and answers. I was not paid for this testimonial." Eugene P., December 2008
"This class exceeded my expectations by a mile!! It gave me real-world, time-tested trading systems that I can use when I leave class. It wasn't just information and theory. It gave me practical applications that will make me money!" John H., December 2008
"This is the second Online Trading Academy class I have taken. Both classes were as close to ideal as I think is possible. The learning center is clean, friendly, and professional. The instructors are excellent. The staff is carefully chosen. I am very happy I found Online Trading Academy, and also that this school exists." John F., December 2008
"This course has transformed my perspective for trading stocks and put me on an entirely new skill level through real hands on practice. I had no idea that I would, or even could, learn so much so fast." David C., December 2008
"Thanks for a great course. Not only did it cover the basics of technical analysis, shorting, structuring a trade, and risk management but the instructor also gave lots of do's and don'ts learned from his years of earning a living by trading." Jim R., December 2008
"As an absolute beginner at trading, I was at first a bit apprehensive about taking this class. What I found was an absolute first-rate instructor with a passion for trading, who made sure that everyone was following along with the material. In 7 days I went from having no knowledge about trading to feeling comfortable with the fundamental concepts and with the trading platform. Thanks so much Online Trading Academy." Kari L., November 2008
"This class was an answer to prayer. In the past, when I traded I just lost money so I stopped trading. Now I know how to NOT LOSE MONEY!! This class has dramatically shortened the learning curve and has given me the confidence to approach trading as a full-time business and a profession. If you're serious about trading, this course is ESSENTIAL! You will learn more than you can imagine both technically and psychologically. It will give you the tools you need to become successful and achieve your dreams." John H., November 2008
"I liked two things. One- The solid Base line foundation for creating/building a long term trading career. Two- the emphasis on money/risk management. I researched many classes before signing up (spending my money) for this class. I feel strongly I made one of the best decisions of my life in taking this class." John F., November 2008
"I got more than my money's worth. Thank you!" Doris G., October 2008
"I want to thank Online Trading Academy for the amazing experience I have had during the Professional Trader course. It was intense and fun, and full of actual trading experience. There was a lot of opportunity to trouble shoot personal trading problems and plenty of one on one attention by instructors. I know that I have learned many specific and critical lessons that will make a huge difference to the level of success I will achieve in my trading career. Thank you for such a professional and quality presentation." Cherie F., October 2008
"I have spent more than $30,000 taking other "trading" courses over the last year. None of those trading courses compares to the depth and quality of education that I received from Roger and Josip. Their willingness to help me understand and effectively learn the trading process and sharing their deep market knowledge and extensive experience made this experience truly first class." Debi M., October 2008
"I learned more than I imagined I could learn in this type of training. I just wish I had the opportunity to take this class before I started trading my real money! The material is very complete and the level of instruction is top notch! Great job to everyone at the Seattle school!" Dave S., October 2008
"Super tools to use after losing big during the infancy of day-trading 9 years ago. Wow, can't wait to stop my losses and build my confidence to 1,000 shares over the next year!" Gary B., October 2008
