2008

“I have really enjoyed all the classes at Online Trading Academy, it has been a wonderful experience for me. My trading has improved 1000% over what it was before taking the Online Trading Academy classes.”– Michael C. March 2008

“Online Trading Academy is really unique in all aspects - the courses, the instructors, the staff. For their part they give more than 100% and it's up to us implement what we have learned. But surely, they've given us all the possible tools we need to succeed in the market.” – Sharika March 2008

"As always (second time I took the class), excellent instructor and environment. After checking out several Trading training choices Online Trading Academy is exactly what I have been looking for and has exceeded my expectations in every way." – Ronald B. March 2008

“I feel that I got a trading exposure that I could not get at home. This class was the first time I ever went short in a position. I was allowed to lose $ in actual trades which allowed me to learn how to trade and win. The last day I used the fiboacci method and actually had several winning trades.” – Ricch B. March 2008

“The class was the best training class I have ever attended. Online Trading Academy seems focused upon quality education and delivering real life experience. The instructor was terrific and could not be better. His repoire with the class made for a very relaxing environment despite the fact that the material was intense. The scope of information regarding how the market operates to actual trading was most impressive and appreciated.” – Phillip G. March 2008

“I am delighted to have made my first trading training with Online Trading Academy. The environment provided by Online Trading Academy fits my need: good quality of the equipment and the platform, excellent teacher, good balance between theory and practice. All the Online Trading Academy personnel have been friendly and helpful. I feel confident starting to practice a live account in a few weeks. The rules, advice and tips have been a major breakthrough for me as I struggled to make sense of Forex and shattered my limiting beliefs in regard of trading and money management.” – Michel D. March 2008

“I had limited self taught trading experience and after taking the course it has really opened my eyes and given me the confidence I need to start on the road to being a successful trader. Many thanks Online Trading Academy.” – Derrick O. March 2008

“This course has the one essential component that all others miss - live trading when the market is open. You can get many courses to run you through the theory - then you go home to try and put this into action and you have question after question and no one there to ask. The free retakes are really worthwhile, no matter how much you take in on the first sitting there will be things that you gain from any retake, particularly as it will probably be with another Instructor who may have a different take / experience to relate.” – Jackie H. March 2008

“Time is Money... I came into the school with no experience, no understanding of platforms and only an interest to learn a new trade after retiring from the military. The course provided me with a foundation that exceeded my expectations. The instructor provided an encouraging environment. The school provided a real time exposure of what traders do, how to win, how to preserve capital and manage invested trades. Thank you Online Trading Academy for being there and getting me in the right direction.” – Sally R. February 2008

“I have been to and paid for several other classes, packages. This is by far the best. The re-takes sold me at first, but now, after seeing the professional service, it was a good investment! Thank you!” – Leonard J. February 2008

"I have attended a number of seminars with various stock market education companies, but without a doubt the Online Trading Academy class is the very best I have ever attended." – Rene L. January 2008

“I've paid thousands of dollars to various companies to learn how to trade ...Online Trading Academy is the only company that I feel has provided a win-win situation! Thanks a million...” – Mike M. January 2008

“The class helped someone like me who has no backround whatsoever in trading to understand things from step one. The pace was great and the materials on the powerpoint were well presented. Online Trading Academy shows considerable care for the comfort of all students even to the point of providing refreshments and food. This was an excellent class.” – Glenn S. January 2008

"I would say it's reckless to even attempt trading prior to successful completion of these courses." – Joe V.

2007
“Through researching Online Trading Academy I learned about the quality of the company. All information from public and personal references were positive. The seminar introducing the Professional Trader Courses Part 1 & 2 was very helpful. My Education Counselor was straightforward and a pleasure to work with. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, patient, and caring. Most of all, the courses were better than I expected. I came to Online Trading Academy with no experience and I am leaving with the knowledge and skills to trade successfully.” – Kris B. December 2007

“Instruction by a "real active trader" adds significant value to the course. We are not just learning "text book examples" but real live situations by somebody in the trenches.” – James M. December 2007

“I came into the course with no experience whatsoever. Rather than it being a disadvantage to me the instructor made sure I learned everything covered in class. Everything about Online Trading Academy was better than I expected and the value to me was well worth the money. I have absolute confidence that my experience will benefit my trading for the rest of my life.” – Chris B. December 2007

“Online Trading Academy training classes are not only explaining and teaching theories about trading, but it also provides real trading skills and the trading plan templates that enable students to start actually trading.” – Kai L. October 2007

“I have seen and/or participated in five other companies' similar educational events. This is the ONLY one that gave excellent value for the buck, imparted believable and very useful information, didn't waste my time trying to sell me on other classes, and paid close attention to my needs and wants.” – James September 2007

“After having been very disappointed with other trading courses in the past I was skeptical of taking this one. However, I have been thoroughly delighted with the wealth of information received from the instructors. All were not only knowledgeable, but great instructors who could be compared with the best professors in any college level program. Not only did they present the material at hand well, they added a great many "nuggets" from their own experience that were timely and extremely helpful to further our ability to have greater insights to the market. Each also had a great sense of humor and made the class a very enjoyable place to learn. I am truly looking forward to the next session.” – Belinda S. September 2007

“Truly the best of trading schools that I have checked into. Online Trading Academy provides more than they advertise. No high pressure selling of other classes that Online Trading Academy teaches. ” – Dick H. August 2007

“As a novice I was fascinated with the 'new world' I encountered at the Online Trading Academy classes. Superior instructors combined with an outstanding program have inspired me to enroll for classes in the future as well as to repeat the classes I have already experienced. ” – Barbara H. August 2007

“As a continuing-education aged person, I'd like to express my honest opinion to everyone considering this institution; "it don't git no bettern 'nis.” – Brian S. April 2007

“I have never traded anything but long positions and realized I was missing out on a huge opportunity to take advantage of downturns in the market. I now feel very comfortable going short and making $$$ on either side of the market.” – Michele L. April 2007

“If anyone is interested in learning to trade the market the right way, Online Trading Academy is the place to go. I especially like the fact that I can attend the class until I do understand it to my satisfaction. I have recommended Online Trading Academy to everyone I have ever met that is interested in stocks and I have no regrets.” – Richard S. April 2007

“I love the instructor. I like the way he 's teaching in a slow manner but very comprehensive. He makes trading look simple. I love all Online Trading Academy's instructors, every one of them has a different style of teaching that I would like to learn if I could. Online Trading Academy is the best trading school that I've known...I would recommend anybody that I know, encouraging them to go to Online Trading Academy. I try to spread the world every time when I know someone interested in trading...It has been an educational enjoyable experience.” – Tu T. April 2007

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Online Trading Academy on the internet. This opportunity came along just as I was getting interested in 'investing' in stocks. I did make a buck or two here and there but purely by accident. I started checking out different sites online. None of them seemed to have it all together. What I was looking for was a place where I could gain the knowledge that would give me confidence. I wanted to go hunting. After living in Alaska for 20 years, I know you don't go hunting grizzly bear without studying their habits. You may think that you are the hunter but in fact you are the hunted. He knows his way around his environment a lot better than you do and his senses are much keener than yours. What you learn about the grizzly can save your life. Online Trading Academy has provided the knowledge and expertise needed, in a market of bears and bulls, that can save my life. With much practice I now have the opportunity to become a good hunter. I want to thank the instructor for the artful way he put things together and the patience he had with all our questions. This experience could not have been better. Worth every penny!" – Bob P. March 2007

“Truly enjoyed the courses -- was all about respect and encouragement. Came into class apprehensive, but was immediately put at ease by instructor. Learned a lot -- not only by the great instructor, but the "hands on trading" was the key that other courses do not have. Great instructor and "hands on trading" was a powerful duo. My cautions to become more disciplined are reinforced, and my desire to be a successful trader is at new heights. Thanks! Overall wonderful experience.” – Dolores M. February 2007

2006
"In all my educational pursuits, I have never learned so much, so efficiently in so little time. Your presentations specifically were right on. Your book knowledge backed by your experience and anecdotal evidence was incomparable." – Steve D.

Traders"I am thankful for all that I received from all of you at Online Trading Academy. I like the "Hour with the Pros", the  Online Trading Academy stock pickings, as well all the articles coming in the newsletters from the other writers. I am very happy with all the information I can read from Online Trading Academy. I think of Online Trading Academy as a big community. Thank you for your phone calls that lead me to travel to Irvine not only to learn but meet all of you. Since my return I am teaching my son Brandon who is 11 the fundamentals of the financial pyramid.  Please give a  HELLO to everyone at Online Trading Academy from me. Will keep in touch, best wishes of health and prosperity for you." – Alberto (South America) December 2006

“Before deciding to attend Online Trading Academy, I was nervous that there may be other training options that would be better in order to get the most for my money. After the first day, I knew that I made the right decision. The instructor really cares about how we perform after leaving & has taken every step to show us what really works - not just a bunch of fluff.” – Erin N. December 2006

“I left all skepticism behind the first hour. The level of instruction and personal attention was attentive to every level of participant. There was everything from rank newbies to registered securities brokers in the classroom and everyone was engaged, learning, participating, being taught and no one was bogging down the process. I think the time is maximized in a way that lets you know you couldn't squeeze another dollar's worth of information into the schedule.” – John R. December 2006

“Having been ‘taken’ with other courses and programs, I was skeptical coming into this class as to what value it would actually be. Basically, I had decided to "gamble" that I would get enough value out of it to repay the expense of the class. I can definitely say now that this course has been worth every penny that it cost. I am looking forward to finishing the rest of this series class and eventually continuing to the next level. Online Trading Academy has not seen the last of my ugly mug!” – Oran C. December 2006

“I'm quickly becoming one of your ‘groupies’. I'm learning a lot and I'm starting to scare myself with the potential that lies ahead for my family with the knowledge I am picking up. I'm hoping to evolve from the servant that returned one talent to the master to the one that returned five and became a good and faithful servant.” – Don S. November 2006

“Well worth the money and time. Highly recommended.” – Bill A. September 2006

“Online Trading Academy continues to provide a superb education opportunity. This is the fifth class I've taken and I'm signed up for two more. The instructors have ALWAYS been masters of their trade and able to teach very complicated concepts in a way that makes it easy to learn. The handouts are great. Overall an excellent value.” – John H. August 2006

"The instructor had the ability to take what seemed like six months of material and compress it into seven days in a clear, understandable, uncluttered manner." – Hayden S. June 2006

“Learning from an actual trader made all the difference. You can't get insight into the markets from books. Great Job!” – Steven M. June 2006

"If you want to learn Economics, go to college. If you want to learn how to trade, by all means attend Online Trading Academy!" – Harold K. June 2006

“Each time I attend a class at Online Trading Academy, I leave feeling more confident about trading. I have a greater understanding of what I am doing wrong, and feel better at correcting those mistakes.” – Robert M. May 2006

“The instructor's passion showed that he cared what he talked about, and was knowledgeable at doing so. The personal experiences were very valuable. Class inputs about their trading experience to date also proved to be useful. ” – Todd D. April 2006

“Great class. Hands on experience makes a huge difference. ” – Peter W. April 2006

"Instructors are enthusiastic and clearly love trading. This class is intensive and definitely will increase your understanding on how to trade by teaching you different techniques presented in a structured format." – Uyen P. January 2006

"As I stated earlier, the courses, the classes, the instructors have all been top drawer in terms of quality, presentation, appearance and information transfer. I don't know what took me so long to take classes in trading. Probably from being so frugal from being burned so many times and expecting to see nothing but verbal fluff. Amazingly, when I signed up for the first course, midweek, I jumped into the full Passport course on my own volition and did not even have to be sold on the idea. I immediately saw the investment value in the entire curriculum.  Had I taken classes before I jumped into the shark pit of investing, I would have saved an enormous amount of capital and undue stress. I am now Online Trading Academy 's biggest promoter and endorser. Taking Online Trading Academy course should be a mandatory, "must do" for any person considering any investment type in any financial institution, even if you expect somebody else to manage your portfolio, I highly recommend taking these courses before venturing into the trading waters of today's marketplace." – Harold K.

2005
"The risk reward ratio is a common problem among investors everyday: How do I reduce my risk while increasing my return? One standard solution is diversification. But this doesn’t reduce the risk, it simple dilutes it. Education is the one thing an individual can do to proactively reduce risk. Online Trading Academy provides a diverse curriculum of courses that are structured to produce better educated investors who gain specific market insights at many levels. Investment decisions become no less complex, but having the education to quickly and confidently assess them does improve the odds of success." – Bob M. October 2005
