Class testimonials

“I have really enjoyed all the classes at Online Trading Academy, it has been a wonderful experiance for me. My trading has improved 1000% over what it was before taking the Online Trading Academy classes.”

Michael C., March 2008

“Online Trading Academy is really unique in all aspects - the courses, the instructors, the staff. For their part they have more than 100% and its up to us implement what we have learned. But surely, they've given us all the possible tools we need to succeed in the market”

Sharika, March 2008

“I feel that I got a trading exposure that I could not get at home. This class was the first time I ever went short in a position. I was allowed to lose $ in actual trades which allowed me to learn how to trade and win. The last day I used the fiboacci method and actually had several winning trades.”

Ricch B., March 2008

“The class was the best training class I have ever attended. Online Trading Academy seems focused upon quality education and delivering real life experience. The instructor was terrific and could not be better. His repore with the class made for a very relaxing environment despite the fact that the material was intense. The scope of information regarding how the market operates to actual trading was most impressive and appreciated.”

Phillip G., March 2008

“Time is Money... I came into the school with no experience, no understading of platforms and only an interest to learn a new trade after retiring from the military. The course provided me with a foundation that exceeded my expectations. The instructor provided an encouraging environment. The school provided a real time exposure of what traders do, how to win, how to preserve capital and manage invested trades. Thank you Online Trading Academy for being there and getting me in the right direction.”

Sally R., February 2008

“The intro course simply made me thirsty to learn more about FOREX. The instructor, Rick trained with a high level of excitement which made me want to jump into the markets. Despite the excitement he always put strong emphasis on capitol preservation. More importantly, he didn't just say we should be aware of losing money. He showed us valid techniques to protect your trades. Of course the tools to make money were great but a little safety never hurts. I am a better trader because of this emphasis that is common in all of the Online Trading Academy courses I have taken. Looking back, I wasted my time and money training with other companies. Online Trading Academy offers me a complete package.”

Terrence W., February 2008

“I have been to and paid for several other classes, packages. This is by far the best. The re-takes sold me at first, but now, after seeing the professional service, it was a good investment! Thank you!”

Leonard J., February 2008

“Attending this class was worth all the money I spent (Hotel, Flight, Rental, Meals) to fly from Canada. Rick is an excellent teacher and if you want to be serious about your Forex career, you owe it to yourself to take this class. I have spoken to one of my friend and he is ready to fly and get in the class.”

Josué C., January 2008

“I've paid thousand's of dollars to various company's to learn how to trade ...Online Trading Academy is the only company that I feel has provided a win-win situation ! Thanks a million...”

Mike M., January 2008

“The class helped someone like me who has no backround whatsoever in trading to understand things from step one. The pace was great and the materials on the powerpoint were well presented. Online Trading Academy shows considerable care for the comfort of all students even to the point of providing refreshments and food. This was an excellent class.”

Glenn S., January 2008

“This class truely provided the best direction we have recieved in 20+ years of investing. While the class was not on investing, it provided the knowledge and skills the can be applied. This will make a huge difference in our approach to managing our investment/trading and our lives.”

Jim & April A., December 2007

“Through researching Online Trading Academy I learned about the quality of the company. All information from public and personal references were positive. The seminar introducing the Professoinal Trader Courses Part 1 & 2 was very helpful. My Enrollment Counselor was straightforward and a pleasure to work with. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, patient, and caring. Most of all, the courses were better than I expected. I came to Online Trading Academy with no experience and I am leaving with the knowledge and skills to trade successfully.”

Kris B., December 2007

“Instruction by a "real active trader" adds significant value to the course. We are not just learning "text book examples" but real live situation by somebody in the trenches.”

James M., December 2007

“I came into the course with no experience whatsoever. Rather than it being a disadvantage to me the instructor made sure I learned everything covered in class. Everything about Online Trading Academy was better than I expected and the value to me was well worth the money. I have absolute confidence that my experience will benefit my trading for the rest of my life.”

Chris B., December 2007

“The Pro Trader course was very informative and opened up a whole new view of trading, I am looking forward to starting to trade within the parameters I learned. Very good class, to get you in the right direction of profitable trading.”

Gus R., December 2007

“This class, in 6 days, has sufficiently prepared me to be a profitable professional forex trader. The instructors were outstanding revealing why the failures in the market fail. I recommend that if you MUST be a profitable professional trader, then you need to start your career with this course.”

Okey U., November 2007

“Today, I've learned another trading tool to add to my income. I will highly recommend this course to my family and friends.”

Felix C., November 2007

“Brandon is Brilliant! Take this class! I should have taken these classes years ago! Look at these classes not as a course, or courses, instead as a long term investment or investments!”

Harold K., November 2007

“OTA continues to exceed my expectations. OTA classes create a complete picture of trading and investing topics, giving the student the ability to understand: what, why, and how to trade.”

Chip P., November 2007

“I couldn't believe how much material was covered, and love the information that was provided. I felt this made options easier to deal with, and increased not only my awareness, but my comfort in trading options.”

Thurman B., October 2007

“Online Trading Academy training classes are not only explaining and teaching theories about trading, but it also provides real trading skills and the trading plan templates that enable students to start actually trading.”

Kai L., October 2007

“I enjoyed the learning material on how the market works and what to avoid. -How to set up a business and tax structures available for traders. -Basic strategies involving momentum indicators and other tools to predict a price move. -It is a solid foundation that prepares you for more extensive training and advanced skill sets -Russ made me aware of how vast the market is and how to take advantage of every kind of play available. It's all b/o your individual comfort level. -This class should be for those who want to really win and go to the next level. I feel so much more comfortable about opening an account. I was intimidated before I got here. I was familiar with the majority of the concepts and theories traders used today, However, I was scared that I wouldn't understand them. I have to thank Russ for that. Keep up the good work!!!”

Ken R., September 2007

“This course exceeded my expectations! It's a must for anyone who has money in the market!”

Karyn B., September 2007

“I have seen and/or participated in five other companies' similar educational events. This is the ONLY one that gave excellent value for the buck, imparted believable and very useful information, didn't waste my time trying to sell me on other classes, and paid close attention to my needs and wants.”

James M., September 2007

“For me, this class illuminated the process and methodology of trading. Now I know what is done and have experienced doing it myself. I also have solid baseline rules for picking stocks, and evaluating when to trade them, and when to exit. The most important rule, "don't loose money, or only loose small," will protect me or the new student/trader when trading after the class. I'm happy now!”

George P., September 2007

“I have absolutely no experience in stock trading and the instructors have been able help me get through this large learning curve in a very professional and fun way. Now I have an exciting look into this facinating world on stock trading.”

Michael C., September 2007

“After having been very disappointed with other trading courses in the past I was skeptical of taking this one. However, I have been throughly delighted with the wealth of information recieved from Brandon, Rick and Kyle Hibbard. All were not only knowledgeable, but great instructors who could be compared with the best professors in any college level program. Not only did they present the material at hand well, they added a great many "nuggets" from their own experience that were timely and extremely helpful to further our ability to have greater insights to the market. Each also had a great sense of humor and made the class a very enjoyable place to learn. I am truely looking forward to the next session.”

Belinda S., September 2007

“As a complete novice, newcomer to trading, Online Trading Academy has helped me to comprehend and apply the necessary skills to enter the stock trading market. With this knowledge... my confidence, skills in technical analysis and trading execution has grown beyond my expectations.”

Gordon P., August 2007

“The knowledge passed on form our instrucor in this course was exceptional. The in depth analysis in this course was incredible. This course truly helped me in understanding the market in a deeper level. Thanks for passing on this invaluable knowledge.”

Marisa M., August 2007

“I learned many things from the Pro 1 and 2 classes. I highly recommend these classes to individuals interested in trading. If I knew in 1998 what I know now, my savings will probably look a lot better. ”

Noel F., August 2007

“Truly the best of trading schools that I have checked into. Online Trading Academy provides more than they advertise. No high pressure selling of other classes that Online Trading Academy teaches. ”

Dick H., August 2007

“As a novice I was fascinated with the 'new world' I encountered at the Online Trading Academy classes. Superior instructors combined with an outstanding program have inspired me to enroll for classes in the future as well as to repeat the classes I have already experienced. ”

Barbara H., August 2007

“As a continuing-education aged person, I'd like to express my honest opinion to everyone considering this institution; "it don't git no bettern 'nis.”

Brian S., April 2007

“Thanks for the knowledge, to be able to trade successfully, after taking the class. I was very impressed with how all the information threaded the knowledge into something I will use everyday. This is truly an incredible opportunity!”

Pete L., April 2007

“I have been trading live Forex for a year and learning from many sources. Online Trading Academy gave me a way to pull together and organize my trading approach. Thanks.”

Dale C., April 2007

“I have never traded anything but long positions and realized I was missing out on a huge opportunity to take advantage of downturns in the market. I now feel very comfortable going short and making $$$ on either side of the market.”

Michele L., April 2007

“If anyone is interested in learning to trade the market the right way, Online Trading Academy is the place to go. I especially like the fact that I can attend the class until I do understand it to my satisfaction. I have recommended Online Trading Academy to everyone I have ever met that is interested in stocks and I have no regrets.”

Richard S., April 2007

“I truly liked this class. This is the best so far that I have come across that truly taught me how to trade properly. Their trading approach is one where your probability of making a profit is higher and your probability of loosing is curtailed significantly by helping me to focus always on managing my risk. This is one class I would truly recommend because I really got my money's worth.”

Julius F., April 2007

“I love the instructor Russ Allen. I like the way he 's teaching in a slow manner but very comprehensive. He makes trading look simple. I love all Online Trading Academy's instructors, everyone of them have a different style of teaching that I would like to learn if I could. Online Trading Academy is the best trading school that I've known...I would recommend anybody that I know, encouraging them to go to Online Trading Academy. I try to spread the world every time when I know someone interested in trading...It has been an educational enjoyable experi”

Tu T., April 2007

“If you are serious about trading stocks, even if you're going to use a retail broker or financial planner or other advisor, you need this course to help you understand how to protect your hard-earned assets. If you plan to manage your trades yourself, you can't afford not to go through the Pro Trader I & II courses.”

Donald M., March 2007

“This class has been a truly eye-opening experience for me. A lot of the things I have learned in the past week, I not only never even imagined, but would not have believed if someone told me, had I not seen it myself on Level II. Anyone who's even considering trading would be at a distinct disadvantage to those that are starting to trade having taken this class. I had a Series 6 license in the past, and looking back I now realize that I knew absolutely nothing.”

Kirk R., March 2007

“Tops in the field this. I know as this isn't the only trading school I have attended and looked at many, many more. This is no.1.”

Carl S., March 2007

“I learned all the things I did wrong in the past to cause me to lose big-time. I learned that I could have prevented such losses by knowing how to control greed and fear, how to establish my set of rules and stick by those rules by reducing my losses to small ones. I highly recommend this school to everyone regardless if you every plan to trade, because it offers priceless knowledge.”

Rufus T., March 2007

“I love not being pressured to buy more and I can take the class over as many time as possible.”

Rufus T., February 2007

“There is no better presentation of the Forex market and its elements than Online Trading Academy. The truthful, comprehensive perspective of Forex trading will enable the trader or hopeful trader to develop skills that really do provide a winning strategy. There are no gimmicks, just logical methods of attaining a personal trading plan.”

Justin K., January 2007

“Taking the Forex Trading Class should be a requirement for every individual seeking to successfully trade the Forex market. The mistakes I made prior to the course would have been minimized by 90% with just the information provided in the course. Having a seasoned and experienced Forex instructor is of immeasurable value. I look forward to maintaining my continued education with Online Trading Academy.”

Howard B. Jr., January 2007

“Having traded successfully for about four years, I was already somewhat confident in my ability to make money trading stocks. However, this class has given me the ability to take my trading to the next level. Most importantly, I am now confident that I will be able to consistently make good money in any market.”

Rob R., January 2007

“This class is great. If you are willing to learn you can get a great deal of knowledge of the game here. Probably the best in the business.”

Greg B., January 2007

““This class has provided me some tools that should make trading a relatively non-emotional business pursuit. This is precisely what I had hoped to gain here.” ”

Rob G., January 2007

“This is a "MUST HAVE" for anyone considering trading their own account. Absolutely the best money I have spent on this subject. Could not ask for better material or a better instructor than Merlin. I would recommend no other. Thank you Mike, Paul, Teo and everybody.”

Cal R., January 2007

“Very good class for beginning your career in trading. Gives you a firm foundation. You get to actually day trade which lets you feel the good and bad of trading.”

Dean H., January 2007

“Shed your fear of FOREX and put yourself in Abe's able hands. A master trader and a master teacher who really makes one understand the subject and helps prepare you to begin trading right away. A must class for any serious trader.”

John H., December 2006

“This 7-day class is the best trading class I have taken. I really like the scope of the material and the instructor's insight in explaining concepts using live market data as things happen, not to mention the live trading exercises using real money (not simulator).”

Barry L., December 2006

“This course of “options” presents a great deal of various ways to trade and yet, Mr. Allen Russ exhausted all forms to explain them in detail. THANK YOU ALLEN FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND ALL INSIGHTS BEYOND THE POINTS.”

Alberto E., November 2006

“Great refresher course for the intermediate trader, a necessity for the beginner.”

Wilson Q., November 2006

“Simply put, as with OTA's other instructors, Fernando explains concepts, trends and issues relating to the market with STUNNING clarity.”

Harold K., November 2006

“The knowledge I've acquired in this course is really tremendous. I learned so much in such a short time. I'm really confident that I can do trading as a source of income, someday. I believe that I can be successful in this field with all the valuable tools I've learned. I'm really glad I've taken this class. I highly recommend it to others.”

Virginia L., October 2006

“Highly recommended for anyone interested in becoming successful in trading equities, novice or professional. As a novice in trading, I have gained a lot of knowledge on what and what not to do when doing online trading. I would take this course (Pro Trader Series 1) again several times over. The actual live trading in class was worth the price of admission, and I did not even have to use my own money to trade!”

Marc V., October 2006

“I'd been looking for a source of this very information and help, packaged in a manner that allowed me to assimilate it in a period of time that made it possible. These people did it and more by providing an invaluable on going support that I wasn't counting on. If you want to join the 21st.century as a trader, this is the place.”

Burt S., October 2006

“The way Fernando explained the course topics was really helpful. Before attending this class I had no knowledge about long term investing but now I feel comfortable in creating my retirement account portfolio. Thanks to Online Trading Academy.”

Gulshan S., September 2006

“Classes were informative. Just picking up a few ideas that I didn't have before coming to class would have saved me lots of money. Like building a house, it is important to have a good foundation. This course gave me a good foundation on which to build my trading career.”

Stephen F., September 2006

“The Professional Trader II class taken with Merlin opened up an entirely new world of possibilities in a trading career. I have been trading on and off for about 9 years now and finally feel good about my decision to choose trading as a career.”

Chris C., August 2006

“Online Trading Academy continues to provide a superb education opportunity. This is the fifth class I've taken and I'm signed up for two more. The instructors have ALWAYS been masters of their trade and able to teach very complicated concepts in a way that makes it easy to learn. The handouts are great. Overall an excellent value.”

John H., August 2006

“This class is all about incorporating risk management into your investment strategy. I wish I had taken this class long time ago, would have saved tons. The instructor (Brandon) is world class and recommend this to anyone who is into Stock market.”

Premchand K., June 2006

“Online Trading Academy is the best way to learn effectively for stock trading and making money without any hassles. This training school will give you a real sense of stock trading to do excel for your future investments. Thanks for OTA instructors for giving our future opportunity and prosperity.”

Jeffrey N., May 2006

“One thing that I did learn, is to not Trade before or during any Classes, because YOU will make Better decisions, after you complete them. Learning about Risk Management was the Greatest!!!! Now, I can work forwards my Success. Thank You Trading Academy!”

Delana T., May 2006

“Fernando was the best instructor I have ever had the pleasure of learning under. This class will help you in everday life. As a college professor, I am very critical of others' teachings. Not Online Trading Academy, these guys know what they are talking about.”

Donald H., May 2006

“Great value for money. I've attended many trading courses in UK but none beats Online Trading Academy. Expectations are realistic unlike other trading school who advertise about making millions and yet their seminars are not what they claim to be.”

Resurrecion B., April 2006

“This class is very comprehensive and a great starting place for any new trader, but also beneficial to experienced traders as well. I have learned many BEGINNER things that I should have already known. Many are very simple but powerful market principles. ”

Dennis S., April 2006

“The instructor's passion showed that he cared what he talked about, and was knowledgeable at doing so. The personal experiences were very valuable. Class inputs about their trading experience to date also proved to be useful. ”

Todd D., April 2006

“I have written a lot in the past. Again I am glad I am under the passport plan and again I wish I would have discovered you first before I spent money at other teaching places. But I do feel like I am getting my money's worth now. Pat H., April 2006 Liked the technical teachings. The class served to confirm my use of certain tools and helped me throw out others, such as intr-day use of TRIN and TICK. I was able to ask clarifying questions and rec'd clear answers. I liked getting the instructor”

Kurt S., April 2006

“Great class. Hands on experience makes a huge difference. ”

Peter W., April 2006

“After taking several other investing courses, the instruction and hands-on trading environment of this course I feel will have me trading successfully in a few months - without it I would still be on the fence!”
