Class Testimonials

“I was pleased with the knowledge and expertise demonstrated by the instructors and staff, and their willingness and ability to convey that information so effectively in the classroom and beyond.”

Doug W., February 2008

“You really need to attend the class and see what Online Trading Academy can offer in what they teach! All the instructors truly want to see their students excel. Online Trading Academy makes sure they are always there to answer any questions and help you through things. I have been to other trading classes and nothing compares! What a deal that you can come back as many times as you need to until you understand it completely. What other classes offer that? They are here and are willing to help! It's awesome! I know I will be back!”

Patti L., February 2008

“In studying trading on my own, I read countless books in which the authors warn against trying to trade without first obtaining a formal education or personal mentor. Since most of us do not know a professional trader that will take us under his or her wing, that leaves the education option. The Online Trading Academy provides what I believe is exactly the type of education those authors recommended. Paying your tuition here will certainly lessen what you pay to the market.”

Tim B., January 2008

“I have ten years trading experience, though I have to regard myself as a hobby trader as my methodology has been suspect. I have done courses in the past, but unless it's hands on, it aint gonna stick. From here on I am determined to be a professional. Thanks!”

Daniel H., January 2008

“Superb faculty, superior learning experience and a great value for money spent. Hopefully the word will spread far and wide and more people have the opportunity to learn as to how different markets work and to find out for themselves what is going to fit their personal situation.”

Sudhakar R., January 2008

“This class was great, it gave you plenty of REAL WORLD information, and the instructors were very informative and shared real life experiences good or bad.”

Steven N., January 2008

“I could have never traded if it wasn't for this class. It exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to take more classes!”

Melanie G., January 2008

“To all those skeptics out there(This is not a get-rich-quick scheme.), if you want to learn and educate yourself about trading to be a good trader then you absolutely need to take this class. You can learn the hard way, that is loose money trading with limited learning along the way or alternatively pay for the class and know what you are doing before entering the markets. Online Trading Academy, thanks for everything.”

Udit P., November 2007

“I am beyond happy at the thought of finally starting my trading career after 3 years of struggling with it. I have taken a number of other classes and none of them have come even remotely close to helping me learn and apply all the information neccessary to becoming a successful trader. Brandon Wendell and all of the teachers at Online Trading Academy have provided such a caring environment to learn. I look forward to many years of success with Online Trading Academy at the helm!”

Linnea M., November 2007

“This is an excellent course and I strongly recommend that any individual wanting to trade as a day trader, short term or long term investor should take the class. The education you receive will save you the losses you will incur trading without having this education. It will change your perspective on the stock market and trading. I hope to continue the education and gain more depth by taking the Part II Professional Trader Class.”

Udit P., November 2007

“Online Trading Academy is the ideal educational format for someone who is interest in trading as a professional. You are given the opportunity to actually trade and learn on a live platform. The instructors are knowledgeable and experienced traders themselves.”

James H., November 2007

“I have watched Mike teaching on various topics via CDs. To have him teach our class live was a real pleasure. I've come to realize that I need to be patient and not think about results as much as using a plan and sticking to it. I've identified areas I will need to work on by being challenged in this class. Hopefully I will be able to return again and benefit from future classes as well.”

Wes P., October 2007

“This course took all the concepts that I have heard about over the years and brought them together in a fashion that makes sense. Learning live takes the fear out of a new platform. I now have a real understanding of what risk management really is.”

Terry J., October 2007

“Michael Young is a very good instructor. I want to thank him and all the staff at Online Trading Academy. All my questions where fully answered and the information is really invaluable. This short course had quite a few gems. Thanks again.”

Matt W., October 2007

“Having never traded stocks, I have recieved a very realistic view of both the risks and rewards of momentum trading, and can progress to the next step with my eyes wide open.”

Rick R., September 2007

“It was a truly unique experience with a trader who emphasized the pitfalls and dangers of trading. Anyone considering trading should be able to pick up valuable traits and not start their on-line trading experience by loosing money. I know it from experience.”

John S., September 2007

“The quality of the class surpassed all of my excpectations. This is the highest quality instruction that I have receved in trading I was unaware that there was this level of instruction available from Online Trading Academy. I am very impressed”

Daniel W., September 2007

“Great FOREX course with lots of online trading experience during the market hours helps build confidence in picking the right levels of support, resistance and choosing good entry and exit points. Great emphasis on risk management to help keep the money you make. Thank You Sam for a great job.”

Basant A., September 2007

“The structure, materials and live trading involved is second to none. They show you how to crawl, stand, walk and run. You see concepts revealved live. Nothing is more real than seeing trades happen live, no time lag. ”

Edward M., August 2007

“I can honestly say it was a great experience and I will be back! I have taken other classes to teach me to trade and can only say it was a whole different way of teaching. Online Trading Academy teaches and shows you how to apply the techniques with confidence. ”

Patti L., August 2007

“This course proved that you can "teach an old dog new tricks". I have been a floor trader for over 25 years and consider this class a must for anyone trying to transition from the floor to the screen.”

Paul M., July 2007

“I've been reading, studying and testing trading strategies for the last 25 years. But sitting with someone who can demonstrate specifically what is a high vs. low probability trade has helped me quantify trading behaviors that now put the odds in my favor.”

Norm C., July 2007

“By far, the best futures trading class I have been to in 20 years. Forget all the other seminars and systems. If you really want to understand how the futures markets work you need to take this class.”

Bill W., July 2007

“Learning to trade in the market is very difficult. Oline Trading Academy makes it easy to understand without the unrealistic expectations that many companies make you think you will make a million. Other places have so much hype and group clap your hands and yell. This class was realistic, and gave great tools to take home and make money for yourself.”

Betsy L., July 2007

“Sam was great. He showed me a totally new approach that I had not come across in any other book, system, or method. He also explained what was happening behind the scenes to cause the price action. For the 1st time I think that I am starting to understand why prices move as they do. I am very impressed.”

Bill W., August 2007

“I have been trading for several years and I still learned things in the basic class that I can use.”

Mark F., March 2007

“I have been trading for a little over year and have been successful. I took the class because I was starting to encounter some significant losses. I needed a fresh look to determine what is what that had been working for me, that now wasn't. The class helped me find it and then some.”

Larry W., March 2007

“Before coming to Online Trading Academy, I had read a lot of books about trading and the overall markets. After attending Online Trading Academy, I have a much better outlook on the markets and the confidence to pursue trading as a business. They cover everything. I look forward to coming to the next class and learning more. A great deal for the money that you spend as it will repay itself in large portions over your trading life.”

Michael F., March 2007

“This course puts all the bricks of wisdom together in a consistent and strong structure. The proper consruction techniques were made very clear. While many of the bricks were already familiar, I found many new ones. Equally important, some old broken bricks of bad habits and misunderstandings were discarded. I am extremely grateful for the experience.”

David S., January 2007

“I took this class with very little background in the stock market, after the week was over I feel that I have a very good understanding of the market.”

Chris H., January 2007

“Best money I spent. Pointed out obvious mistakes I was making. Wish I would have done this MUCH earlier.”

Raza R., January 2007

“Having taken the class previously, I was very pleased the Chicago site was opened. The ability to retake the class is one of the best reasons to take this Online Trading Academy course, and the Chicago site is excellent. It is well located near the airport, well organized and a welcome addition to the Online Trading Academy family. Thanks to the Chicago staff, especially Michael Young, Chief Instructor, for his assistance and encouragement. His 26 years of experience trading on the exchange floor shows!”

MJ P., January 2007

“This class was invaluable. Before this class I was brand new to Day Trading, feeling intimidated, overwhelmed and a bit lost. By the end of the class (by the end of the first day) I had changed my perspective entirely; I was a professional with, a goal and a solid foundation. Online Trading Academy has changed my life. Thank you.”

David H., January 2007

“Have taken many classes but this is the most practical by far. Highly recommended.”
