General Extended Learning Track (XLT) Program Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is WEBEX?
Webex is an online, interactive, multimedia environment where XLT student meet for real-time learning.

2. How do I log-in?
You will receive a periodic e-mail that will provide both the link and the password to the online trading center located in Webex. Select the class session for that day and time. Next, enter your name, email address and password and click join. For technical assistance, contact Gregg Lumpkin via phone at 949-608-6045 or

3. Do I need to install special software or hardware?
You must have a fairly new computer, along with a high speed Internet connection, such as cable or DSL. The first time you click the link to the correct session it will take you to an install page. This will only happen on the first time you log-in. Just follow the on-screen instruction and within 1-2 minutes, you will be in the session.

4. Once I am in the session, what can I expect?
The Webex session is a full-blown Multimedia environment. You will hear the presenter’s voice, and will also see a real-time video feed of the presenter’s actual computer screen. You will see the instructor’s presentation materials, charts, and execution platform.

5. Will I be able to ask questions or participate?
Most questions are typed in for the presenter and others to see; while some questions can be verbalized. In order to verbalize questions, we recommend a headset with a microphone which is relatively inexpensive and available at any electronics store.

It is a true interactive experience, although we must follow some basic classroom rules, just so that the environment remains orderly. (A Room Guideline document will be included with the sign-up package).

6. Will there be live trading demonstrations?
Yes. While the program seeks to promote an environment that is centered upon a high level of correlative trading education, live trades are necessary to demonstrate the aspect of trading.

7. Do I need to have an open trading account?
Ideally, yes, although it is not required to participate in the program.

8. How will former students of the on-site classes benefit from the XLT program?
They will see what they learned in the on-site class applied to live market situations. Since they have been introduced to the concepts before, they will likely be the fastest to learn as well.

9. Will the XLT program really teach me how to trade and improve my trading?
Yes! In more ways than you can imagine.

10. Will there be recorded sessions?
For now, there are no recorded sessions, although we are currently working hard on a system that will provide this great feature.

11. How does the free lifetime re-take work?
A fully paid student who has completed the course wishing to re-take the course must contact Online Trading Academy and request registration for re-take from an Enrollment Counselor. The registered XLT re-take students will continue to receive email invitations for the course when the scheduled course begins until it ends again. A re-take student may continue to re-take the class without limitation. As a reminder to our students, scheduling any Online Trading Academy class is always subject to the current class schedule which is posted on the Online Trading Academy website and, of course, student space availability at Online Trading Academy’s discretion.
