"For many years I have thought about trading but always fell victim to the comments of those that have never traded. I now have a clear understanding of the fact that I will not be "gambling" as they said, but trading like a professional by making intelligent decisions. The class is amazing, but I know that I will learn even more by following and making use of the XLT. I came for the pros to teach me how to trade and make investments, little did I know that this is the best investment I will ever make. Thank you so much." Jose V., August 2011

Paul R., November 2010
"The graciousness, helpfulness, warmth is wonderful at the Austin Online Trading Academy. I have taken a number of Online Trading Academy classes and signed up for more.

"I had high expectations for this course because of my previous experience with Online Trading Academy. Tillie surpassed my expectations. Tillie's knowledge and real trading experience, combined with an excellent teaching style, made this class truly enriching for me. She did not minimize the work and effort needed to be a professional trader; yet she was very encouraging at the same time. Great class!" Donnie C., November 2010
"I strongly recommend the course to anyone having doubts about trading due to past failures. This class not only taught me good rules, it also taught me the rules I was breaking that led to my past failures." Troy K., November 2010
"My first Online Trading Academy course in October 2007, enabled me to identify and proactively prepare for the financial crisis and the ensuing market meltdown; saving me from a devastating loss in my savings and investment accounts. Additional courses and especially the expertise of the instructors and their willingness to help each student individually have given me the tools and confidence to navigate the markets effectively and without fear." Jim C., October 2010
"I don't know which was better; the beautiful Austin weather this week, or the enthusiasm of the Austin staff!!! You to taught me to trade in Pro Trader, you gave me more tools in Futures and Forex. Now, you've given me a "toolbox" with the Pro Active Investor course to carry my tools to the marketplace." Dennis J., October 2010
"I find the staff to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Tillie was patient and kind; I feel I can learn a great deal from her." Diana G., August 2010
"Anyone who can master these skills should be earning double digit returns in bull AND bear markets! Never lose money in a down market again! Your KIDS should be taking this course before they graduate from High School!" Rocky H., August 2010
"Online Trading Academy's classes are awesome. The instructors are concise. They explain the rules in trading which don't vary between the different trading markets. Each instructor, even though they have their own style, are all on the same plane, teaching the basics the same. Each class I have participated in has been very informative and the Forex class has been made so much easier for me to understand. I think that once this class is over, I will not be afraid to trade Forex." Donna S., August 2010
"I feel that it was a small miracle to have found Online Trading Academy and would recommend any and everyone who has an interest in trading, whether it be professionally or part time to attend, it was a colossal experience! Our instructor, Tillie, was simply great!" Bonnie B., August 2010
"The new owners are fantastic." Maurice M., July 2010
"Online Trading Academy, by allowing retakes, has allowed me to learn, trade, and refresh my skills over an extended time frame. The program is not just a one time learning experience, but a continuing and lifetime learning experience." Sally B., July 2010
"The new owners are really great and they all make themselves available for the students at every level." Maggie H., July 2010
"I loved the information that was being brought to my attention. Even though I have traded before I never considered some of the concepts brought forth in class. It enabled me to build confidence as well as skill in a learning environment. I was able to ask questions and get them answered on a one-on-one basis which added to the experience. This is my second course with Online Trading Academy and I have grown from the layering of information. This tool is a priceless advantage in the crazy markets." Damon G., July 2010
"I highly recommend the ProActive Investor course to the older investor/trader who has been burned by the buy and hold strategy, as well as to the younger investor/trader who is just building a retirement nest egg. This course gave me the tools with which to analyze the long term investments that I currently have, and helped me develop a plan to transition them to a more consistent and steady rate of return. It also taught me strategies for keeping my trading profits safely growing at the rate of return that I need. In fact, you could say that the strategies taught in the ProActive Investor course are the glue that holds the family finances together for the long haul." Wanda E., June 2010
"I have attended many adult education classes from Master's program classes to military professional education, to teachers' professional development and healthcare seminars. I cannot think of anything that truly compares in terms of value. This is both highly educational and thoroughly enjoyable." Jane A., June 2010
"If you are serious about becoming a professional trader, this class is a must. Instructors are not just great educators, they are great traders and it shows! If you're going to learn, learn from the best." Sam E., June 2010
"Best value I have ever had for instruction." Lynn D., June 2010
"Online Trading Academy has been an exceptional program so far. I'm three days into the program and have had an incredible experience. The instructor went far beyond my expectations and I look forward to further classes!" Gordon R., June 2010
"The material was priceless. You are giving me freedom to create a life that was only in my mind. I think you are in the business of helping people live their dreams." Barbara C., June 2010
"When I came to this seminar, I was just about ready to quit trading. I was winging it on my own - losing money and frustrated. This experience has not only provided some excellent information, but has been a great encouragement to me. I look forward to getting to know all the other traders who are connected with Online Trading Academy. Thanks!" Sally E., June 2010
"I have lived through 3 stock market crashes. Investment companies were managing my money during the first two crashes where I lost profit and principal. I lost money using a brokerage during the last crash. The Pro Trader I & II classes taught me the mechanics of the markets & trading. My instructor was outstanding and used excellent teaching techniques for retaining information, defining a trading plan, overcoming psychological barriers, and building confidence. The class allowed many hours of live trading experiences in simulation and using real money. The customer service provided by every staff member was superior. In every way their intention was to provide the best in education, trading environment, continuing education support, and even coffee and snacks. I feel part of a community I can call on, always. My instructor has already communicated additional information & support." Sherry H., June 2010
"Excellent, super friendly staff. Wonderful lunch arrangement." Greg G., May 2010
"Online Trading Academy gives you the best value for your money. I have taken quite a few courses. All seem to boast that they give you value for your money. They do not even come close." Jimmy K., March 2010
"Staff was very friendly and very helpful and very knowledgeable. Thank you for the courtesy lunches...allowed me to "work"( practice executing trades) very helpful. Awesome experience! Truly Life-changing! Thanks for ALL your help! Worth every penny I'm going to save!!!!" Tony P., March 2010

"I have now attended 3 Online Trading Academy classes, ranging from 2 day to 7 day, and every class reconfirms the great value proposition of the tuition versus what you get for your money. I find myself feeling great anticipation for the classes on the upcoming schedule and am already registered for 2 more. My trading skills have progressed markedly after each class I have taken to date, as I progress towards becoming a Master Trader." Bob T., February 2010
"I have taken trading classes from several trainers, but none is more comprehensive, more hands-on, and more applicable to my current situation than the Online Trading Academy E-Mini Futures class. Tillie is profitable and proficient in her own trading and is more than willing to share the strategies that work for her. What works for her can work for me!" Don M., January 2010
"The professionalism, depth and scope of subjects far exceeded anything I expected." Olan S., January 2010
"The staff was very friendly and treated us as family. From the day we walked into class until today when I am writing this statement, Kevin and the staff have been very helpful. The classroom was very well organized. We were given an email with the supplies we would need and I am so glad I bought these since they were just what we needed to take better notes." Bettie, January 2010
2009
"I had never even considered taking a class before Online Trading Academy was recommended to me by someone that had taken the course. It was all that he had said and more. I would recommend it to anyone to start taking charge of their own money or to understand how someone may be doing it." Jan H., December 2009
"Online Trading Academy taught me the latest cutting-edge market trading tactics and this course will certainly take my trading skills to a whole new level!" Alton J., December 2009
"I was a self taught trader, trading for about six months. The knowledge I gained from the Professional Trader class has greatly expanded my trading capability. My confidence level for making short sales increased 100%. I project my trading income will double as a direct result of the class." Jeff W., December 2009
"Even better course the second time around. I sat through the class again after taking the course for the first time six months ago and was amazed at the amount of new material and insights. Kevin was exceptional once again. Great course and a great instructor!" Ted L., December 2009
"I really enjoyed the Forex class that Rick taught this week. He has given me an awareness of trading that cannot be found in the text books. He taught me a new perspective in reading and listening to the charts. I will never look at the charts and trade the same way ever again. Please keep Rick as a permanent preferred instructor on your staff. Rick is truly a great teacher and a great person!!!" Ray S., November 2009
"I have already made money from what I have learned in Kevin's class. Your course is complete and very valuable. I have traded stocks for 15 years and I was amazed at what Kevin had to offer me in basic education and the fine points of trading. Along with the first timers I learned the pertinent information I have needed for years. I think that speaks volumes about the quality of education at Online Trading Academy." John W., October 2009
"This was a life-changing, invaluable educational experience for me. It built my confidence and enabled me to understand not only how I have made mistakes in the past, but how to apply what I've learned to become successful in the future. Kevin is an amazing instructor who was able to give reason and meaning to all of my past teachings which have never served me. I can't wait to write back with my success story!" Laurie A., September 2009
"If you're tired of losing money, let Online Trading Academy help you become profitable. I highly recommend their instructors, their classes and their information. Don't lose money - spend it wisely!" Don M., September 2009
"Get ready for a ride and hold on to your seat! What you learn will blow you out of the water." Cheryl M., September 2009
"This Pro Traders Course has truly been a fantastic experience for me. I consider it a great privilege to have had Kevin as my instructor. He brings a vast amount of experience and knowledge to the classroom but more importantly, expertly delivers the subject material in such a way that really connects with the students both on and individual and classroom team level. We proudly gave him a standing ovation at the end of the course which was really well-deserved. Thanks to Online Trading Academy for exceeding all of my expectations and giving me the best jumpstart possible to become a successful and professional active trader!" Don L., August 2009
"A must-have course if you are serious about protecting your money and learning the correct methodology to make reliable and, hopefully, profitable trades. This class takes out all the rookie mistakes that you would otherwise inadvertently do. The live trading aspect of it lets you do the mistakes here and not when your money is on the line. My instructor, Kevin, is a master and I feel privileged to be under his wings now. His style of teaching is unique as he takes all the fluff out it and takes time to focus you on the bulls-eye, and gives you his decades of expertise in just few days of intense training. I really wish I had taken this course earlier, but it's never too late. In summary, an excellent course to take. It's worth all the money and much, much more." Aryesh A., August 2009
"I have had two relatives take the Professional Traders Course from Kevin this year, and both were extremely pleased, and therefore recommended the course to me. I investigated Online Trading Academy for quite some time before committing to taking the Professional Trader course, and I had high hopes and expectations, yet all expectations were vastly exceeded. Kevin is the best and most professional instructor that I have ever had -- in any subject -- he is a master, and a true teacher." Don C., July 2009
"The course was unbelievable. I have learned more in a few days than I have learned in many years on my own. I have been trying to think of a brief comment to sum up my experience, and the word "wow" keeps coming to mind. I came in a skeptic, I am leaving a believer. Online Trading Academy is truly a first class organization. To anyone who is interested in doing their own trading, whether short term or long term trading, if you are on the fence about the value of the education, I would say you have a lot more to lose by NOT taking the course. Kevin, our instructor, was truly phenomenal. I am deeply grateful to him for the education I have received." Steven K., July 2009
"I suggest anyone wanting to learn how to trade to take this course. It will definitely get you on the right path." Mike W., June 2009
"An excellent course that makes a business of trading a realistic goal. What better reward than being more in control of your own life!" Donald Y., June 2009
"We have learned enough now to start trading. This course more than fulfilled our expectations as far as learning practical hands-on techniques that we can begin to use immediately in our trading. We can't wait to get started!" John and Heidi S., June 2009
"Most thorough class on the fundamentals and keeps you independently thinking." Manisha U., June 2009
"This is a must have class to be a successful trader." Jeremy G., May 2009
"I've been trading for 10 years and can truly say this class has helped me put it all together and has made me a better trader. Our instructor was the best. I would highly recommend the course to everyone who is really serious about trading and investing. Great job!!" Frank V., May 2009
"This was the most knowledge packed class I have ever attended." Richard N., May 2009
"This class is an instant mojo for your portfolio. My apprehension in tackling the financial markets is out the window, and my confidence and resolve toward a trading lifestyle is complete. Thank you Online Trading Academy for keeping me in the right direction whenever I get off course by that one degree!" Eric G., May 2009
"Online Trading Academy provided a very professional concise approach that simplified trading techniques and technical analysis for the beginner." Patton D., May 2009
"I cannot recommend this course enough! I knew absolutely nothing about trading or the financial world, and after this class I feel I can actually do it, and enjoy doing it!" Marie Z., May 2009
"This is an amazing amount of material packed into 7 days. Kevin is an extremely knowledgeable trader and incredible instructor. I will recommend this class and Kevin to anyone committed to learn professional equities trading." Rob D., April 2009
"There is so much great information! For the first time I feel like I have control over my investments. Now it's just a matter of time until I gain the experience and skills to trade with the institutions." Stephen S., April 2009
"After 5 days of the class, I sat down to consider a decision about a stock in my long-term portfolio. I was surprised to notice that I was thinking about this decision in ways I never had before. I felt as if my brain had been re-wired. In a good way! This course was a deep learning experience that installed a new mindset." Rick, April 2009
"We have been to many workshops, but this is the only workshop that has given the insights necessary to be an "active trader". Thanks Online Trading Academy." Paul N., April 2009
"Trading will become my new profession, and will be utilized to support my children and myself. I feel much more confident having gone through this class that I can make a living for myself and my family. Thanks Kevin, for your amazing instruction. Thanks Online Trading Academy for providing this training opportunity." Michele G., April 2009
"This class and the information gave me a totally different and better attitude toward the buying and selling of stocks. I would like to develop it into a business using the things I have learned." Larry S., April 2009
"Tillie is a really good teacher and very sympathetic to the novice trader since she experienced the same things. As always the Online Trading Academy staff and atmosphere lends itself to helping us develop a community feel amongst us few Austin futures traders." Matthew W., April 2009
"I have been interested in the Futures market for the past 6 years. I had looked around for a class to address this and could not find one that was not in the "weekend Seminar" format. I was really glad that Online Trading Academy offered this Futures class. I have had many of my questions answered and feel confident that I now have the appropriate toolset to tackle the job." Larry R., April 2009
"TERRIFIC CLASS, helped terrifically to clear up a lot of misconceptions!!!!!!" Stanley M., March 2009
"I truly enjoyed the class -Kevin is amazing. I never had a professor in my fancy ivy league college that put the same passion and energy into the curriculum. Amazing." Lauren M., March 2009
"This class was presented in a very easy to understand manner for someone like me who has a very limited knowledge of the stock market. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in beginning to trade securities." Mary V., March 2009
"I have taken other stock trading classes, but this one, by far has been the best. I actually came to the introductory class because of the price (free), but became extremely excited about what was going to be offered in the Professional Trader Class. It has been more than worth the money." Larry S., March 2009
"This course provided me with practical tools to use and the reasons behind the "rules". I would recommend this class to anyone seriously interested in understanding trading and investing. It is the most comprehensive training experience I believe I have ever experienced. This course was jam packed with information presented in such a way that it was not overwhelming. I wish I had taken this ten years ago rather than the one I took." Jim M., March 2009
"I truly enjoyed this course and Kevin made it so easy to understand and very entertaining. It is hard for things to sink into my thick head, but I feel that with the easy way it was presented, I will be able to trade with more confidence and ease. I would recommend anyone that is interested in taking control of their financial well being and not leave it in the hands of a complete stranger to take this course. I totally feel more empowered to do that for myself now. Thanks for this feeling." Ann L., March 2009
"Online Trading Academy is top class. If you are sick of other people losing your money, and charging you for it, do yourself a favor and invest in yourself with this education. Quite simply the best decision I've EVER made for myself, and more importantly for my future. Online Trading Academy saved me from the "it will come back" mentality; to the tune of 20 percent of my life's savings, that I can now prove I would have lost letting the "professionals" at the bank continue to handle my portfolio. They would have lost 40 percent. Thankfully, Online Trading Academy gave me the confidence to steer my own ship successfully. This program is TRUE and the people here really do care. Kevin, Mike, Alan and Sean.....Thanks sincerely." Thomas R., February 2009
"This education will take my trading skills to a higher level. I was trading with a blindfold over my face...Kevin gave everything to each student and made it possible for each of us to understand the complex material. Thanks Kevin!!!" Travis, February 2009
"After years of disappointing investment strategies and months of confusing to complicated study, this is the first time I see a light at the end of the tunnel for turning things around. That in itself is encouraging and exciting." Stephen W., February 2009
"I was truly impressed with the amount of knowledge that was presented. It is obvious to me that there is a genuine concern for the success of students. I feel confident that I can go out and be successful trading. Kevin over delivers on Online Trading Academy's commitment to train you for trading. The amount of practical, on-the-money information is phenomenal. The learning atmosphere is exciting and the knowledge learned is priceless. Thank You!" Reagan D., February 2009
"The best trading education in the entire world. I'm a very satisfied client and Online Trading Academy family member. Kevin thanks for everything and God Bless." Michael W., February 2009
"Being an absolute novice I was concerned with being totally lost and left behind. Kevin did not let me be left in the dust. (No Child Left Behind). Unlike the gov't program this one worked. Kevin was great to have as the Instructor as he was always willing to take the time necessary to make something clear. This was the most informative type of class on any subject in which I have ever been privileged to participate. This class and this instructor were top-notch." Larry S., February 2009
"I enjoyed this class so much; I only wish I had done this 10 years ago. If I had only had the courage 10 years ago to manage my own finances, I wouldn't have suffered the consequences of using money managers and financial planners. Never again. I most highly recommend that if you want to validate or improve the way you trade, take this class." Chris A., February 2009
"I had heard about Online Trading Academy on the radio and looked them up online. I signed up for the half day seminar and attended. The quality and integrity was a world of difference, I signed up that day for the Professional Traders Class. I am so happy with my decision. I have received more information in these three days of class than was being offered at the hotel presentation for $25K. I will recommend this class to anyone interested in a quality education. I don't think one could find this information anywhere. Thank you Online Trading Academy!" Cherri T., February 2009
"I was completely new to all of this, but after this week I can really say that what seemed to be obscure for me is now clear and straight forward. This course gives me the confidence as a complete beginner to take on trading professionally." Eduardo H., February 2009
"At 23 years old I had no clue how the stock market was traded, what to do, or if it was even possible to make or even keep the money you invest. After three days listening to Kevin, I know that I can finally stand up to those telling me I am dumb to think about trading. I now know it's not all about buy and hold, but shorts and longs, intraday and investment. I feel confident that I can do this and I will be able to make my daily paycheck!" Amanda, February 2009
"This was like "Extreme Makeover - Trading Edition". I came in here with the "herd" ideas of trading (Buy and Hope). Kevin (TY!) tore the house down and handed me the keys to a brand new "house" in the way of trading. Now I just have to go live in it!" Doug V., January 2009
"I have taken a number of courses that now were obviously worthless. This class I wish I had taken first." Frank H., January 2009
2008
"I have been to several other investment education courses (yes, the ones you see on TV) and have spent quite a bit of money on them plus the software. While I can't discount what I learned from those other courses, what I have learned from Online Trading Academy in 9 days was more than what I learned from all the others. And, it was cheaper. I know now that I have tools and knowledge to make better decisions. Thank you." Michael B., December 2008
"This is a great class. For the first time I learned how to actually enter and exit trades. I have had a broker account with Think or Swim for a year and have never made a single trade because I was afraid I would lose money since I did not know how to enter and exit trades. After this training, I am very comfortable in entering and exiting trades and I am going to make use of my account at Think or Swim. This training has taken away all the fear I had to trade. Very informative and eye opening. Anybody who wants to be a trader must go through this class." Wilfred O., December 2008
"This was the second class I took from Online Trading Academy and it did not disappoint. Even after just two days, I feel I have a very good foundation to start trading in small sizes and build up my knowledge as I go from here. The class gave me enough education to begin, which is all I was hoping for." Kirk R., November 2008
"I have traded for 15 years. I was taught to trade by a real trader in around 1995, who really made millions in the market. He set me up with Omega Tradestation and spent months with me as friends. I made good money. Over the years I had forgotten some rules and began to lose money. I thought things had changed as the market has gone crazy up then, now crazy down. This class teaches you much of what this trader taught me years ago. I can tell you it is simple and will not change with the next trend." Chris L., November 2008
"I am very skeptical about things that cost a lot. Fortunately for me I had friends that took the class a year ago and I could confirm this is the real deal. Kevin has a rare talent to explain the depth of the markets in a way you will know what is going on. That is invaluable in developing my skills in trading. Much THANKS!" Mike B., October 2008
"This is my second time through the class and I'm thrilled with the steady improvement I've made working at home over the past few weeks. I know that everything I've learned here will help improve my financial future in every aspect." Darcie M., October 2008
"This class has provided me with more information than I could have possibly imagined. Beyond that, it has given me the skills to put that information to work in a very concise way. Thank you so much!" Kim S., September 2008
"The class is the best I have ever attended. It has surpassed my wildest expectations. I appreciate the honest no bull approach." Robert M., September 2008
"I had really high expectations for this course, and I wondered if they would be met. In the end, they were exceeded by leaps and bounds. Every person I dealt with from Online Trading Academy has been simply wonderful. I'm actually starting to believe that I can be a professional trader, and I look forward to staying involved with Online Trading Academy during my career. At this point, I don't think I could be any happier than I am now." Maurice M., August 2008
"Thank you so very much for providing another exceptional opportunity to become a much more highly advanced, skilled trader. Kevin not only teaches, but consistently reminds us to stay positively focused. Online Trading Academy and Kevin always far exceed my expectations." Taye S., August 2008
"This class added to my education in trading equities in a very positive way. Learning to trade requires education and this class was education at a very high level." Sally B., August 2008
"Online Trading Academy completely blew my expectations away. They are professional, efficient, and honest. They show you what you REALLY need to know to take control of your own financial life. Online Trading Academy is a top class organization. I definitely got my money's worth. I've learned more about applying this to my life in the past 3 days than the general public learns in their entire life. The best education I've ever received hands down! Thank you." Thomas R., July 2008
"I've been to one of the "hotel" trading seminars. Yes. I did learn a lot from them. However, they hype you up and then when they have you emotionally, they start selling you their software. In other words their up-front cost is high. At Online Trading Academy they take what I consider a more professional approach to trading and they don't play on your emotions." John S., July 2008
"I really liked this class. It's hands on nature in combination with an expert trader's knowledge really helped me to understanding trading better and start demystifying active trading so that I can actually participate in the markets and know what I'm doing. Thanks, Kevin! I truly enjoyed the class." Clyde B., July 2008
"This class provided me with the investment principles I have been looking for; how to "do my homework", how to make money when trends are either up or down and how to manage the risks of investing/trading. The class was very well done. The instructor, outstanding. Thanks Online Trading Academy!" Farrell W., June 2008
"This course gives a fantastic methodology as well as a thorough enlightenment on the total world financial market environment." Stanley M., May 2008
"As a Certified Financial Planner I thought I was able to learn how trade the options market on my own. The options class really made me realize that training was a necessity before anyone should venture into trading options. Eric was an excellent and very knowledgeable instructor; there is no comparison to having a 20 year option pit trader take you step by step through the world of options. Thank you Online Trading Academy for the excellent instruction and I feel much more equipped to trade options after taking your course." Gene P., May 2008
"Although I have traded options in the past (mainly covered calls and strangles), I never understood how strike prices were derived and did not understand how much other option information was available or what steps to follow. This class is a must for the beginner AND the experienced trader because it teaches you the processes necessary to determine if an option play is appropriate in order to be successful." Pauline S., May 2008
"I started the class with no knowledge what so ever on trading! A week later I'm leaving here with the confidence and knowledge to make calculated choices and make a pay check off the stock market! I'm a hair dresser who wanted a little more freedom and wanted to invest my money that sits in the bank NOT MAKING MORE! It was time for me to take my future into my hands!" Lloyd, May 2008
"The value of the class was worth it if it was a onetime episode. Taking into consideration that it is a life time of education that can be obtained it is remarkable." Criag B., April 2008
"Time in the "hot-seat," actual trading and engaging in the market, with immediate feedback and suggestions from the instructor on how to improve was the most helpful aspect of the course. Learning to flawlessly execute an entry, set the exit-for-loss, then set the exit-for-profit, sticking to the trading plan, takes a huge load off of my psyche while trading. Keep it simple!" Chad O., April 2008
"The best part for me came AFTER graduation. I've been in touch with my instructor Kevin, as often as I need. He's simply "THE BEST". When we were in class, Kevin stayed late everyday for anyone that needed extra help. There were a few students that had never traded before. Kevin was so patient with everyone that we were all trading like PROS by the end of the week. I've been in touch with my classmates, who are as excited as I am and I'm almost finished with my office set up. There is nothing I'm not prepared for now. Kevin left "no stone unturned" with our education. There are also continuing programs and training as well as Alumni meetings and functions. It's like joining a family and I'm so glad that I'm a part of it all. This is the best investment I have ever made by far!!!" Michael W., April 2008
"I have been trading for over 10 years. It's amazing how the market is waiting to "pounce" on you. You must enter trades based on knowledge, be aware of and limit risks, and know when to exit. This class prepares you to read conditions, make your choices and execute crisply at the right times for profit. I now see how I can lose on a few trades but win on many more and take more profit from the winners than I give up on the losers." Rick K., March 2008
"I took another stock trading course that was more expensive, and this one far exceeds my previous training. The hands-on use of the trading platform and the building of trading skills over 5 days is the jewel in the crown with this program. Also, Kevin's strength is in identifying what is worth learning and what is clutter. He was a fabulous instructor who went way above and beyond what was required to teach the course." Pat K., February 2008

"What I loved about this course was the fact that I could take it all over again for no extra cost, This gave me the opportunity to take the course and pick up more Information than I did the first time. I highly recommend this course." Sifredo B., August 2007
"This is not a by the book course, this course WILL open your eyes to the real market's perspective. This course will teach you how to truly become an ACTIVE trader. The instructors come from years of active trading, and I don't know how to put a price on that kind wisdom and knowledge." Jose P., May 2007
"In my humble opinion, creating wealth begins with an investment in yourself. The biggest risk you'll ever take is not betting on yourself. Your investment in yourself should begin with an education. But, not just any education. In order to succeed, you need the BEST. And, that is who Online Trading Academy is, the absolute best. If you want to create wealth and preserve it, invest in yourself and get the best education and value that money can buy. Become a graduate of Online Trading Academy and learn to create and preserve wealth. You deserve the best and I recommend them highly." Ron D., April 2007
"My experience this week was absolutely more than I ever imagined. The staff is incredible. The materials and instruction are far more than I think anyone expected. I definitely received more information and education than I paid for. I would highly recommend Online Trading Academy to anyone I know that would be interested in trading. Thank you Kevin and Online Trading Academy for such a great week!" Cheryl R., April 2007
"Your organization provides a truly exceptional experience. The course materials, the atmosphere, and the instructor are all FIRST rate in the business. There is a genuine and sincere concern for the success of your students. This has truly been one of my best experiences. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about taking control of their financial future." Ron D., March 2007
"Online Trading Academy is a great value. I can take this material and enhance my ability to protect my assets and create wealth so I can leave a legacy of education and wealth for my family, Church, and University. I am humbled by this experience and hope to be worthy of the opportunity presented to me through this education." Don S., January 2007

"This is the most powerful thing someone could do for themselves and their family, taking control of their money. Online Trading Academy and Kevin more than know how to give you the tools. Thanks again Kevin and Online Trading Academy." Mark L., November 2006
"I have taken some very expensive courses. This is the first one that actually brought everything together. The live trading demonstrated if you were getting it or not." Mary M., October 2006
"Wow, seven days full out of total immersion in a subject I know nothing about and now I am trading live. I am delighted to know that at age 67 years I can still learn something new, and do it well." Sharon H., August 2006
"The class was incredibly useful. I have taken other classes on investing. This class is unique, with hands on, live trading with the company's money! This approach totally changes the learning experience from one of abstract knowledge to one of hands-on-learning. After taking this class, the student actually knows how to trade! Proficiency will improve with time, and the approaches taught will minimize losses as proficiency increases." Walter M., June 2006
