"This class created a budding professional trader. This class helped clear up any misconceptions I had about the market and put me on the right path.

Tony B,, May 2009
"I have been trading Forex for awhile and doing okay, but not my expectations. I knew there was something missing to take me to the next level.

"As a newcomer who has never traded before, I learned some real good basics and the fundamentals about trading. Understanding risk management ahead of time will definitely keep me from donating my hard earned money to Wall Street University." Michael F., May 2009
"I became interested in trading 2 years ago and spent a great deal of time looking for a vendor that would provide the best education and support for a long term relationship. I found Online Trading Academy, both on the web and on the radio. I listened to all their radio shows from all locations and found their content to be consistent and remarkably educational. I then visited the Chicago Online Trading Academy site and was impressed with their center and staff. I purchased the Online Trading Academy Pro Trader Home Study Course and found it a great education for the price. As a result of all this effort, I then felt reassured the higher costs for classroom education would be worthwhile. Taking the Pro Trader I & II courses at the Baltimore site has proved me correct. Great education for a reasonable price. I look forward to more classroom work as I gain trading experience and build my account." Phil S., April 2009
"This was a definite value. I entered with no trading experience and doubted my ability to understand trading. After the Professional Trader part II, I'm anxious to get set up and to practice before officially risking my assets. I can begin to take control of my own financial future and that's a wonderful feeling!" Kay W., April 2009
"I would, without a doubt, tell anybody who is considering trading to take Online Trading Academy courses." John I., April 2009

"The clarification on bits and pieces of information was invaluable. Merlin made the experience a complete joy and filled each day with relevant real world stories as well as being very engaged with his students. I would expect this will be a life altering experience for me. Thank you also to Isa and the staff of the Baltimore facility. The feeling here is one of hanging with friends to move towards a common goal." Daryl H., April 2009
"Merlin presented an awful lot of material in a very professional and friendly way that provided an optimum environment for a great learning experience. I have many years of investing experience in securities, and I believe this course will give me the tools to respond to a variety of markets." Bill K., April 2009
"An unbelievably eye opening experience. Provides a uniquely clear view of the reality of the stock market and the way our economy functions." Stuart P., March 2009

"This class was truly a blessing. I really understand the technical analysis better than ever before! The fact that I have unlimited retakes gives me confidence in my longevity of knowledge." Mazdak M., March 2009
"The training that I received in the classroom was beyond my expectation. I found out that the books I read on my own did nothing for me and even made it complicated for me to do the trades. The instructor made it really simple for us and I felt relieved after just a two day class." Mohammad A., March 2009
"I got out of the class a lot of confidence, training, and a realistic view of what it takes to be successful. Don was very good of explaining the course material. I would highly recommend to friends and look forward to my trading after the class." Carlos P., February 2009

2008
"I have been trading Forex for a year; have read many books, attended many forums, attended a previous seminar by another company, etc. What interested me about this course were the insights developed by an actual successful trader. Some of these little tips, tricks, tweaking of settings and methods were information I have not found previously and are quite helpful in minimizing loss and making successful trades. This is what I came for and this is what I got!" Holly C., December 2008
"The training offered by Steve and Online Trading Academy has ignited my confidence and professionalism in Forex trading. The Baltimore/DC staff is top notch and offer all the bells and whistles in your preparation for becoming a consistently profitable Forex trader. To become the best you must learn from the best, the Baltimore/DC Online Trading Academy epitomizes the best." Howard B., December 2008
"Everything about Online Trading Academy is top notch from beginning to end. I am truly impressed with the school and I would recommend that anyone who is considering learning about trading start with Online Trading Academy!!!" Carlo B., November 2008
"Just a few words to you about my recent Online Trading Academy class... I have been a seminar junky for years and have well over 3000 hours of continuing education pertaining to dental issues. I have also taken other educational courses that were supposed to teach an individual how to trade stocks and options. They were really just courses designed to tell you all the different strategies that you can trade, but they never gave you any help with developing your own trading plan or helped you to see where your particular weaknesses or strengths were. I believe that if I can maintain the discipline that was taught in the class there is no reason I should not be successful in my trading. This was by far and away the best educational experience that I have ever had." Allen S., February 2008
"As a long time online investor, I knew that I was missing a few critical elements that would increase my return. Online Trading Academy was exactly what I needed to increase my over all capabilities, and fill in my gaps. The class has turned around my way of approaching the entire market. The risk reduction in my future trading will add to my profits, covering my tuition immediately. Also, I have to add, Roger not only knows the material, but is able to convey the material in an excellent manner." Ron H., February 2008
"Superior instruction with the kind of cutting edge material you can't find anywhere else. Fantastic value. Fantastic staff." Kris K., February 2008
