“I was one of the most skeptical students in the 3-day course. I asked a ton of really hard questions and was very skeptical. But I kept running into real, concrete answers. These answers appeared to be backed by a strong systematic approach to and understanding of this nebulous world of trading. So, I took the dive and signed up. I have to admit that my skepticism did not go away, and that skepticism was present when I arrived to day one of Core Strategy class. I think it was day three of Core that I was hooked. I learned so much during this week and have found my new business. As I write this review (last day of Core), I am very confident that with the discipline, risk management, and following the rules I learned in Core, I will be successful at this business. One of the main reasons for my confidence is the support and professionalism of everyone. I do mean everyone, too: the owner of the franchise is top notch, friendly, and really cares... The support staff and educational counselors are very willing to clarify and make things clear to me. They were very flexible with my schedule to get me into classes that would work for me (thanks Joel!). The instructors we have had are fantastic educators, and I have been in education for 15+ years. This is a great community that I have joined, and I didn't realize there was going to be this much support. I have found that each person, regardless of their role at OTA, gets really excited to help every student both to learn and always get better at trading, and that is what gives me the greatest confidence in the adventure ahead.”
