Outstanding Feedback about our On-Location Stock Trading Courses

Course Testimonials

"I just wanted to thank you for all the help getting set up at Online Trading Academy.  I have been looking forward to this training for some time.  I truly feel that I have learned more in the last week than I have over the last two years with home study.  Did the Pro Trader Part 1 and 2 meet my expectations?  Not only did it meet my expectations, but it exceeded them.  This last week was everything I had hoped for, and so much more."

"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 Mike Mc Mahon for the artful way he put things together and the patience he had with all our questions. Thanks also to Fernando and Eyal for their insight and Rudy for his help. This experience could not have been better. Worth every penny!"

"Just a few words to you about my recent Online Trading Academy class... I have been a seminar junky for years and have well over 3000 hours of continuing education pertaining to dental issues. I have also taken other ‘educational’ courses that were supposed to teach an individual how to trade stocks and options. They were really just courses designed to tell you all the different strategies that you can trade but they never gave you any help with developing your own trading plan or helped you to see where your particular weaknesses or strengths were. I believe that if I can maintain the discipline that was taught in the class there is no reason I should not be successful in my trading. This was by far and away the best educational experience that I have ever had."

Allen S., January 2007

“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. Kevin really cares about how we perform after leaving & has taken every step to show us what really works - not just a bunch of fluff.”

Eric 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’, having been an Online Trading Academy-Houston graduate and now a Mentor room student with Rob McNabb. 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

"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."

Sincerely, Harold K.

"I was concerned about the cost of the class but I feel satisfied that I took the course and I'm looking forward to putting into practice all that I have learned."

Antonio V., June 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

"I enjoyed the experience of the classroom instruction and the live trading sessions. This allowed me to see the results of my training and trading. Mike B. was a great educator that presented the materials in a clear and easy to understand manner. I hope to continue my education in trading and Online Trading Academy is where I plan to return."

Michael G., June 2006

"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. Thanks again, B."

Bob. M, October 2005

"I came to Online Trading Academy with the expectation of learning how to trade, and came away with an experience I will cherish for a lifetime. Needless to say, what I received far exceeded my expectations."

D. James, June 2005

"This is a wonderful forum for beginners or advanced students. I wish I would have taken this class before I entered the market."

Ted C., June 2005

"I've never attended a training class before where there was such a passionate desire that you DO NOT fail. I was very impressed."

Eddie R., June 2005

"This class really helped me with my fear of trading. I have a lot of things to learn but I feel more confident about trading. Mike had a lot of patience with me considering I was the only one who really had no trading knowledge and for that I am really thankful."

Penny, June 2006

"All three instructors were totally without pretenses and totally giving of themselves in their teaching. If you are trading and don't know what you're doing, take this course; if you are trading and do know what you're doing, take this class because it will improve you. If you've never traded, take this course as a life skills course if for no other reason. It is definitely worth the time and money invested."

Manny E., January 2005

"If you are serious about trading, Online Trading Academy offers a big bang for the buck, the info is priceless."

Victor B., May 2005

"Exceptional, nothing like it, I'm looking forward to returning many times."

AN OPEN LETTER TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS:

"Last week I completed the Professional Trader Part 1 and Professional Trader Advanced courses at your Irvine, CA location. I probably came into these classes with a bit more background in finance than most folks (former stockbroker with a major Wall Street firm, NASD Series 3, 7, 24, 63, 65 licenses, financial consultant in two national C.P.A. firms, studied finance for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees). The markets, however, care little for all this education and quickly make one humble and recognize the need for specialized trading education- the type I received through Online Trading Academy.

Being an analytical type, I researched various educational options for trading. I read everything I could on the Internet, attended a couple of trading conferences, went to free introductory seminars (including one by Online Trading Academy), and ultimately selected Online Trading Academy. It is one of the best decisions I've made and my only regret is that I didn't make the decisions much sooner... the tuition cost for Online Trading Academy is literally a fraction of the substantial trading losses I incurred "going it on my own" prior to Online Trading Academy. Successful trading requires that the trader have an "edge" in the market; for me, Online Trading Academy is that edge.

Trading is all about probabilities. I can't guarantee that students will have a beautiful Italian woman sitting next to them in class (that was just my luck). I can say that the odds are if one enrolls in an Online Trading Academy class, there will be an outstanding curriculum, great instructors, enjoyable classmates, and a very high probability that the end result will be profitable trading."

Tom W., January 2005

"Fantastic!!! This class was a real eye opener. I can't imagine anyone starting to trade without having an understanding of the material covered.

I received great insight from the different instructors throughout the course. They all were knowledgeable about the course material and other personal information regarding their trading styles. It gave me perspective about the possibilities available to me - and a clear plan in going forward. Bruce is an amazing chart analyst and a great teacher. By Friday, I was able to see some of the patterns developing in front of my eyes. Roger shared his insight into momentum trading in a clear and concise way that really opened my eyes to the way he trades. Mike is a great instructor who really emphasized that you must find your own path. There is no right answer, only my answer to how I'll trade successfully. Most importantly I learned from all 3 instructors the need for discipline - and the true meaning of DWYSYGTD (Do what you say you're going to do!!)"

Brian S., January 2005

"Well I would like to underline the fact that it is a small community and that we could all get started at the same time. It felt good to go together on the learning curve, no matter where you started from. I also enjoyed the combination of Technical with Psychology, and the Implementation. Knowledge is there and it will capture you... the rest is based on kindness, great experience, heterogeneity of styles and ability to communicate."

Ianna C., January 2005

"I have invested a lot of time and money in learning how to be a successful trader. Online Trading Academy definitely provides the highest return on investment. Mike McMahon is an amazing teacher."
