"I could not imagine that I was buying/selling stocks before taking this class. It ( the class ) really shows how to find the right data and how to use it." Pete K., December 2011
"Excellent class! Online Trading Academy has a lot of great instructors and Debbie was no exception. I only did part 2 because of my work but I wish I had the time to do the first part as well. I especially liked the personal advice that I got from Debbie and will definitely implement those suggestions. She has a lot of great advice about trading from personal experiences and to learn those and apply them will be huge to help me be successful in my trading. Thank you Debbie, Jose and the Online Trading Academy staff here in Tyson’s Corner for a great class." Russell D., October 2011

She has given me a high level of confidence and conveyed a sense that I too can be a successful trader." Jaya S., May 2009

"This is without a doubt the best trading course I've ever taken. If you're buying CD's off the internet promising you untold riches, stop doing it and take a course here.

"Online Trading Academy Pro Trader 1 and 2 courses are a requirement for anyone considering day trading. You can read all the books you want, go to all the 1 or 2 day seminars you want, and buy all the DVD's you can find. You will not find a more thorough, professional education than you get at Online Trading Academy. The material, the classroom environment, the instructor and the live practice trading set this course head and shoulders above anything else. This is comparable to an intensive graduate level college course, and is well worth the investment." John L., November 2008
"Nothing can replace education! Reading a book can be helpful, but taking a class with explanations and live demonstrations is the VERY BEST way to learn. Having a live person to answer questions, clarify the important detail, conduct, show and tell examples speeds up the learning curve. Classroom interaction - there is NO SUBSTITUTE! This is the BEST class I have ever experienced. Thank you Online Trading Academy." Caroline N., November 2008

"When I came to Online Trading Academy, I expected just an ordinary class with decent service. After 7 days I look back to about 6 months ago, when I first started trading, and think to myself "I wish I knew about this place before I started to trade! I could've made so much money!" Sal, our instructor was GREAT! He made all the hard stuff so easy to understand! I cannot wait to start trading on my own. I'm so happy I found this place! Thanks Online Trading Academy." Samuel Z., May 2008
"Bottom Line: Exceptional learning experience that provided me with the instruction, tools and live trading practice that I needed to get started with confidence in stock trading. Money well spent!" Ken L., May 2008
"I have been trading for 8 years and really thought about not taking this class since I have taken many courses and thought the class might be too basic. It far exceeded my expectations ... the class brought a lot of things together and filled a lot of gaps in my education. Kudos for Sal. This class was second to none." Yvette M., May 2008
"My total experience at Online Trading Academy has greatly increased my understanding of the financial markets, and has helped me practically in protecting my holdings against the current market downturn. It has also greatly improved my confidence in making money no matter what the trend of the market is at any time." Paul W., April 2008
"I am an experienced trader and took this course as a final step in preparation for trading full time. My hope was that the course would take me to the next level in my skills, and I believe it absolutely has. Having an instructor that was a professional trader added a lot to the course in that I got a lot out of personal conversations with him. For me it is taking away a focus on staying with the basics that will help me be more successful." Chris A., April 2008
"I found Online Trading Academy to be the only resource available that actually cares about you and how things are going after you walk out their doors. They truly do care and want you to be successful in what you wish to pursue and they are only ever a phone call away. VERY supportive!" Roselyn A., March 2008
"The class is very instructive in pointing out the pitfalls of day trading. However, it also provides the technical tools necessary to start one on the way to becoming a full time professional trader. The opportunity to take the class as many times as one wants is truly an added bonus." David K., February 2008
"The class put a whole new perspective on live intra-day trading compared to all the other classes I have attended. The trading methodology taught clearly changes the way I have thought about risk vs. reward." Neil F., January 2008
"This class was well worth the time and money. The knowledge gained with the classroom instructions and interaction with fellow classmates is excellent.
