Greg Kaake
Forex and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
The entrepreneurial spirit has been Greg’s road to success. Greg Kaake has been a business owner for many years. He started
working in the family restaurant business at a young age and, through this experience, learned the keys to success. In 1989, Greg
started a construction company managing multi-million dollar projects, both commercial and residential, working long, hard hours.
After seeing the construction boom come to an end and having had enough, he looked for other opportunities. He began to look into
investment opportunities, and Forex stood out above other things that he had been looking at. For a year straight Greg spent nearly
every waking hour studying literally everything on the subject and learning fundamental and technical analysis from a professional
Forex Trader.
Through a lot of prayer, trial, and error, Greg developed his trading strategy which has been very successful. He has been trading
and instructing Forex over several years. Before becoming an instructor with Online Trading Academy he traveled throughout the US,
instructing students in trading the Financial Markets through interbank electronic trading. He enjoys helping students learn
to successfully trade, by teaching them technical and fundamental analysis, and proper risk/money management strategies. He
believes in a "Keep it Simple" approach to trading and applies that to his teaching style as well. Greg has been a fund manager for
several large investors’ portfolios. He is also involved in handling investments for well drilling operations in east Texas.
Greg’s diverse background definitely is a plus. In 1995, Greg developed a unique dietary supplement that is patented with
the US Patent Office in Washington DC. He has also owned and operated a nutritional supplement company, and has extensive
experience in R&D of new products.
For the past 14 years he has also pastored in two states and held evangelistic crusades throughout the United States and abroad.
His ministry focused on training men and women in spiritual and financial principles. He has a passion for teaching people to
realize their full potential.

"Greg is a top notch instructor and has set the bar very high. As this is my first Online Trading Academy class I don't have

interesting and still relevant side stories was just amazing. I really appreciated it."

"Greg Kaake has got to be one of Online Trading Academy's all-time best instructors. Having taken his class, I still have the
same toolbox I brought with me on day one-- it still contains all the same tools it always had-- but Greg taught us how to *use* those tools to ply
our trade as Master Traders. Outstanding!"

and easy to understand. My confidence regarding trading has risen greatly from his positive attitude that comes across in his presentation. Greg's
ability to teach how to recognize existing market conditions and apply simple technical analysis has provided a strong foundation for my trading. I
have also learned a number of different trading styles and strategies that I can choose to apply regardless of what type of current market condition
exists. I am excited about perfecting what I have learned in class and becoming a successful trader."

Michael C., April 2009
"Greg is awesome. I have been taking classes from Online Trading Academy for more than a year and have had
a few different instructors. Greg is my favoritest one. Trading is boring and complicated. A lot of people say trading is
simple...I think it is until you fully understand the whole things. Greg made it very simple, even a kid can trade using his
method. I went through his methods and applied them to the last few day's charts. It worked!!! He also taught us a lot of his "secret"
materials. I think Online Trading Academy should raise his salary!"
Hing Y., March 2009
"Greg is the best possible teacher we could have for this class. His knowledge and explanations are
invaluable. It is too bad that he is not the one creating the manual for the class."
Alejandro V., March 2009
"Greg is the kind of guy that everyone should want to have as their instructor: always smiling, always laughing, and always
able to deliver the material effectively. Online Trading Academy is a better organization because of people like him."
Daniel L., March 2009
"Greg was just fantastic, knows the material and beyond. Strategies, trades, techniques all just right on target. Would take a
class from Greg anytime. He is the best instructor I have ever had interms of markets. He held back nothing. I was profitable from the 3rd day of the
course and stayed up. I went home daily and used his stategies to make money with."
Warren P., February 2009
"Greg is a very knowledgeable and experienced instructor. He clearly is a good trader himself, is very eager to share what he
knows, and goes above and beyond what would be expected to help out his students."
Guy S., January 2009
"Very much enjoyed Greg's teaching style, was able to distill all the information into a usable method of trading with a clear
path to success when used on live trades during the week, which really helped build my confidence."
Peter S., January 2009
"It was made obvious that Greg has had extensive trading experience; he was very confident in his presentations, especially the
trade setups, how to place targets, stops, etc, so that the new trader could easily learn these subjects. His trading experience and successful
trading career made it much easier to believe what he was teaching, and at the same time, facilitated the process of internalizing the concepts."
Fred B., January 2009
"Greg is making the course! His style of teaching is perfect for my learning style. His stories are
helpful as well but not over-done. His explanation of the material is plain and precise. Thanks Greg!"
Dameon A., November 2008
"Great instructor. Very experienced and has great understanding of the material and what the people in
the class want to learn. Thanks."
Kar C., November 2008
"Excellent teacher, really knows how to reach the students. And he actually cares if you get it or not."
Charles R., November 2008
"Greg is great. The way he teaches is very straight forward and adaptable. He is very patient with any
questions and gets engaged with student's questions."
Hideki Y., November 2008
"Gregg has the experience and it shows in the content of his presentation. Greg did an especially good job
answering questions. Some questions asked by students would have taken us off the subject on a tangent, but Greg would tell us
that he would answer that question later. I like his classroom control."
Tom P., October 2008
"Greg made every aspect of the course easy to understand, concentrating on the items that professional
traders should be concerned with. My overall trading expertise will be elevated based on what I have learned from him. Thank you
all so much for your dedication to providing such "real world" courses."
Deborah J., October 2008

2 days. I feel like I'm ready to take the markets, but of course I have to take the Part 2."
Virginia L., October 2008
"Greg is a first-class, extremely knowledgeable instructor. What a pleasure."
