"Rick was an excellent instructor and was able to cover the material and answer all questions
presented to him. He was patient with all the students in the class but the class was never boring, even for those
with a little more advanced background. Rick's focus on the fundamentals of technical analysis (S/R, trend lines, etc.)
is really great because it allows the students to concentrate on the most significant factors without getting
side-tracked by too much noise such as redundant."

"I had been teaching myself online trading using the indicators for years and when I went to
the interview and they went over these types of indicators, I new immediately I was trying to re-invent the wheel.
That is when I knew I wanted the class. They fine tuned me to only take small losses and let the winners run. I think
some of the TRADING SECRETS I learned are going to make me profitable in the future."

Gerard Reilly
"This experience has given me the confidence to actively pursue a second career as a trader. I look forward
to increasing my knowledge level as I proceed to Pro Trader 2. I wish I'd taken this course 2 years ago before I started trading!
I can highly recommend Online Trading Academy for teaching the "right way" to trade, limit risk and understand what's going on in
the market. A crucial benefit is the ability to retake classes at no extra cost - there is a lot to learn. A great experience all
round."
Paul Kram
"I enjoyed the class very much, and I found it to be extremely helpful since I had little to no knowledge
in trading. After taking just part 1 of the class, I felt that it gave me the tools necessary to being trading at an acceptable
risk level and can see myself using these tools even far into the future as I become more experienced. Sal was a great instructor
and he passed on a lot of prudent knowledge and plans to us that allowed him to be successful!"
Edwin Lee
"Class definitely gives you an edge to compete against the market makers. Live trading helps you to
remember the things you were taught better. Lou has a great approach to teaching."
Rudy Hruby
"Doctor Lou is a superb trainer. He is attentive and genuinely cares about the success of each student. He
enjoys what he does and it comes through in his passion and energy in class. I took the class before, and within the first week I
made my tuition back on the first couple of trades. I have hit some obstacles in my trading and decided to take advantage of the
free retakes. I am even more impressed with the school and Doc the second time around. Within the first day of class Doctor Lou
shared with us strategies that will turn my trading around immediately. The fact that the instructor is a professional day trader
who actually walks the walk instead of a professor who never traded in his/her life teaching theory and then the opportunity to
immediately putting the strategies to use in live trading Online Trading Academy rocks. This is by far the best bang for the buck
when it comes to an education. Learning how to master trading (or investing if that is your goal) will improve your life more than
any degree or formal education you may get...period!"

the first 3 days with a strong feeling of wanting to, and feeling very confident, that I can master this profession. Dr Lou is a
great instructor. He keeps it very simple and easy to understand. He has helped me to understand a field which I had zero
knowledge about, but only a strong interest in. I feel really excited to continue on to Pro Trader 2, and continue to learn!"
Jeffrey Kronenberg
"Lou shows genuine interest in helping students learn. Not only does he know the course material but is
also an excellent teacher. Instructor is friendly and takes an interest in student's situations, creates a good atmosphere for
learning, addresses each student's questions adequately, and shares knowledge with entire class. I like the fact that he is able
to share his personal trading experiences. The class opened eyes with insights about the stock movements. Moderate my risks and
allow me develop some confidence in making trades. I recommend this stock trading class to all who wish to get started in trading
or to improve their trading skills."

"The class is great if you want to learn how to trade, you get more in-depth with the charts. How to read
the charts."
Feroze Ibrahim
"I liked the fact that the course focuses on risk management. As a beginner trader my 2 concerns were 1)
Losing money 2) When to execute a trade. The class under the guise of risk management eliminated those concerns. "For the first
time since finishing college, I have found something I am passionate about doing as a career. Online Trading Academy has given me
the confidence to pursue trading full time." "As a business school student in finance, my program does not teach trading at all.
This is the only legitimate game on the street, and more business school students need to understand if they want to trade, Online
Trading Academy is the way to go!"
Greg Behrend
"Online Trading Academy's unique feature to repeat the course for free is great. Instructor Salvatore
Giamerese is the best. I have taken his class twice. His ability to show concepts being taught on real charts is good. He also
does some inspirational talk, which I think is the best."
Susheel B.
"Instructor's delivery, knowledge, and attitude. Sharing personal experiences and not just "reading" the PPT
presentation. Very fair value for the money. As stated previously, will take again because I am completely new to Forex but
understood quite a bit, and then will take part II. Being a beginner in Forex trading, I was very impressed with what I actually
was able to retain and that was because of the instructor, Rick Wright's delivery and knowledge. Would recommend course to anyone."
Deborah C.
"I always wanted to short stocks, but didn't really have the right platform and confidence to execute the
short trade. As a result my only avenue was to buy a put option or buy an ETF. Now I know the correct platform to trade on, and
have the access and knowledge to grow my trading business professionally. The ability to retake the course as many times as needed
is a great benefit to both experienced and beginning traders. If you love the market, you'll love Online Trading Academy!"

"It was incredible to see the mind of a real Forex pro working during class. Ed was really amazing in
delivering the material and complementing it with his own methods and experiences. I left the room with a total confidence that
with preserverance, using the provided strategies, having the correct attitude and keeping the proper risk management I will not
lose my money and be able to generate further income. Thank you Ed and thank you Online Trading Academy."
Carlos P., December 2008
"I returned to learn more about my mistakes and to improve my trading skill and it is working. I will
recommend it to anybody with the desire to learn to trade. The best thing is I can take the class again at no cost."
Gelmer L., December 2008
"The class was amazing. It taught me things that are easily ignored while trading (rules and discipline)
and now I feel like I have an edge while trading markets beacuse I am playing on a level playing field."
Gaurav L., November 2008
"After being a specialist on the floor of the NYSE for many years, I was already familar with many of the
concepts that were being taught. I attended Online Trading Academy to translate my knowledge of the market into the different
mentality of day trading. I believe the Training Academy approach has prepared me to be a successful day and swing trader by
teaching the disciplines and science of day and swing trading."
Roy H., October 2008
"The written material was excellent. The trading platform was excellent. The instructor was exceptionally
gifted."
Bruno B., October 2008
"Having previewed a few other trading schools, this was the most comprehensive course. It was also the most
honest. And with their retake policy, the goal of being a successful trader is very attainable."
Margaret C., September 2008
"This was a great class that actually taught you to trade specific strategies and not just the basics and
then left you to figure out trading strategies on your own."
Anthony D., September 2008
"I recommend taking this course well worth the price of admission!! You truly get a sense of the market and
see how things develop. I recommend taking Ed Ponsi. To become the best it only makes sense to learn from the best!!! You will
have no regrets enrolling with Online Trading Academy."
Stephen A., August 2008
"Online Trading Academy has given me the opportunity to realize my trading mistakes and learn from them.
This class is an excellent way to make money in the stock market the right way and most importantly lose less."
Richard H., August 2008
"Online Trading Academy has highly skilled teaching/administrative staff and provides one of the best and
most value add training in all aspects of trading the markets. It has made me a better trader and given me enough skills that will
allow me to make money and continually improve my financial situation. Thanks a million."
Ray V., July 2008
"Being in a live environment where entry and exit can be determined on a moving market was great. When
people use historical charts for teaching, it can be very easy to find the exact chart to prove your point. But on a moving market
you must prove your point on the fly which is what our instructor Ed Ponsi did."
Gary S., July 2008
"I always thought you had to risk a lot to make a lot. This class taught me to control risk and still
profit. I can now see myself doing quite well in the market."
Pat M., June 2008
"I fouind the Options Training to be very helpful. I am very much looking forward to expanding my trading
knowledge further and Online Trading Academy is is an excellent facility in which to learn."
Ted F., June 2008
"I have taken one other technical analysis class & this was far superior - no comparison."
Douglas K., April 2008
"Book learning is good, but there is nothing like actually trading with the instructor looking over your
shoulder to point out what you are doing right and wrong."
Margaret L., April 2008
"The class covers the basics, then accelerates quickly so you get good value for your money. Online Trading
Academy is great because they give you knowledge and traning as a good foundation to use. They have lots of highly qualified
instructors, not a "one-man-show" pretending to offer "the Holy Grail of Trading". If anything, the Holy Grail is the major
emphasis on RISK MANAGEMENT. I highly recommend this class."
Ray S., May 2008
"I came here thinking I knew a lot about stock investing. My wife always told me, you should take this
class because you are so knowledgeable & this is an opportunity to hone your skills. After only three days I realized that I knew
very little & there was so much more to learn & understand. I am very anxious to put this information to the "real test".
thank you."
Steve R., March 2008
"I owed it to myself to set aside everything I knew and start from scratch. Having an understanding
certainly helped, but letting my guard down allowed me to train myself to be more disciplined and rule oriented. While I didn't
make a lot of trades this week, I felt it was the quality of the trades I was making that was better. I used this to help
condition myself for the road ahead. I would highly recommend this class for anyone that is serious about learing about the
markets and how to mangage risk to help minimize losses and be disciplined to let the winners run. Market Experience - 15 years."
Irfan R., February 2008
"I'm a 45 year old construction worker, never had any knowledge of the market. The education I've learned
here is unbelievable, can't wait to start trading. I feel very comfortable with what I've learned here, as long as I apply it I'm
sure I will be successful. Thank you Merlin & Online Trading Academy."
George A., February 2008
"Trading in real time and observing the markets while in action took a lot of the insecurity away.
Knowledgeable and experienced intructors added to the whole experience."
Clarisse F., January 2008
2007
"The FOREX trading course far exceeded my expectations (which I thought were quite high). I learned a new
profession in 1 week! I believe I now have the training and confidence to trade this market profitably and I do not think I could
have acheived this on my own. I would not advise any friend of mine to trade the currency markets without the training and
education I recived at Online Trading Academy."
David S., November 2007
"The Advanced Forex class was outstanding. It took me as a novice and gave me first, a fundamental
understanding of the market, and then the tools to profit from it. Rick Wright did a great job of showing us how to trade this
lucrative market and avoid the mistakes that bankrupt most rookies. Your wallet will thank you for getting trained the right way."
Bill D., November 2007
"Before I started this class, options were "greek" to me....Stan brought options to life and broadened my
ability to trade!"
Bill N., October 2007
"Being a swing trader, I learned so much about what to buy, when to sell short, and how to place stops to
limit losses. Excellent class for everyone who is interested in learning how to navigate through the market. The delivery of the
course material was done very well and the entire staff in the school was very professional and friendly. A great experience
overall. Thanks."
Kar C., October 2007
"The class helped me a lot. It ironed out the rough spots. I can't wait to put my knowledge into practice.
Thanks to all of the Staff."
Dave A., October 2007
"The class covered trading from the most basic level to all the way up. People with prior experience as
well as the new ones learnt a lot. It has certainly given me a much better understanding of stock market, the buy / sell points.
Overall a week well spent. Excellent experience very nice staff."
Ashish D., September 2007
"I have been investing for more than twenty years and only now, after taking classes with Online Trading
Academy can I truly say that I am a stock trader and more. The things I learned from the classes can never be learned by just
reading through all the books in investing."
Liz L., August 2007
"The course definitely helped with the underatanding with charts and knowing where the highest probability
trades. Definitely has improved my trading."
Jasmine W., August 2007
"The options class gave me a better understanding of what I need to be looking at in charts before making
trades. I expect that my success rate will increase dramatically because of this course. The teacher was very informative and
paced the classroom."
Dorothy S., August 2007
"Learned a lot from this class. The professor was very knowledgeable. Before coming to this class I knew a
few terms and strategies on how to get in and out of stocks. After taking this class, I now know many more different ways of
approaching the situation. Learned many ways to do your own research with the power of the internet. Great class. Will take it
again."
Jerry P., April 2007
"I think the Professional Trader Part 1 and Part 2 was a great way to get the information and confidence I
need to start a new career as a full-time day trader. I have nearly 30 years experience as a stockbroker, working as both an
analyst and as a salesman servicing institutional accounts. In all that time I have never been a trader, so much of the
information and the hands-on trading experience was new to me. After completing the course, I am sure that the inevitable mistakes
one makes as a beginning trader would have cost me far more than the tuition I paid for this class. As a professional in the
investment industry, I knew what I didn't know and these courses have helped to fill those important gaps in my knowledge."
Jeff U., April 2007
"I truly enjoyed the course because when I first started I was a complete novice on trading. This course
has given me a sense of direction in trading. I would not have believed if someone told me that after a three day course I would
be trading. I think more practice will bring me to the level I will like to be."
Kaodichimma A., March 2007
"With 25 years of experience in the markets I thought I would be completely bored. This was not the case at
all. I'm anxious to get the demo going and get to work on changing my life."
Scott B., March 2007
"The knowledge base I attained over the course of instruction is phenomenal. I learned way more than I
expected. The instructor went above and beyond simple instruction to complex trading strategies for future trading when our skills
become more developed. The other students in the class helped as well. I learned from them when they expressed different points of
view and different perspectives on a subject or situation."
George C., January 2007
2006
"As a beginning trader, I found what I learned at Online Trading Academy has provided me with a strong
foundation, and also a confidence that I wouldn't of had otherwise. This experience rates as one of the smartest investments I've
ever made."
Fanuel M., December 2006
"I did a lot of research in selecting a class. This was definitely worth the money and the time. I feel
very confident that I will have no problem following the recommended steps provided in starting my new trading endeavor."
Ida M., November 2006
"I have taken other classes. This class was far better and more personal than the others. This course
actually TAUGHT trading. I felt that the explanation of various aspects helped me weigh the importance of these aspects, which I
believe will make me a better trader."
Barbara B., October 2006
"I was making all the mistakes they instructed us not to. This class could have been my insurance cost
before I started trading. These people are experienced, professional, and here to help you make money!"
Robert L., October 2006
"When I started taking classes at the Online Trading Academy I did not know the difference between an
investor and a trader. The Online Trading Academy focus on the every aspect of trading from beginners level to advance level. I
never placed a trade before attending the classes at the Online Trading Academy due to the lack of knowledge and confidence but
now I've gained a good foundation and my confidence level has increased. I understand that I need to mature and develop my trading
skills but I know I made a good choice by receiving my education at the Online Trading Academy because I'm ahead of many traders I
know who've been trading for years."
Johnny V., August 2006
"Being a trader for many years, I welcomed the review and updates of past knowledge as well as new
insights into trading methods that will help me in the future."
William B., June 2006
"I love the class. It showed what I was doing wrong, as well as showing proper techniques. Also explaining
all indicators and trading procedures in simple English."
Thad C., June 2006
