"What I like best: That the Phoenix team really is here for our benefit." Vonda B., April 2012
"The staff in the Phoenix center is extremely accommodating and helpful. It is obvious that they really care about their students and about sharing their experience and knowledge. In particular, my wife and I found Ty and Jillian to be extremely kind. On one particular day Jillian ran out to get my wife some over the counter medication and bland foods when she did not feel well with a stomach problem. This is extremely rare and very much appreciated. I have already recommended OTA to one person, and in comparison with other seminar series that I have taken, OTA is #1." Craig C., April 2012
"Very professional atmosphere and learning environment." Jonathan B., March 2012
"I want to thank OTA for providing me with such high quality training to lay as my foundation for a lifetime of trading. It's very important to me to have trainers or guides to drastically cut my learning curve and losses and OTA delivered! Thank you again." Ben C., March 2012
"OTA really makes you think about what you are doing when you enter a trade. If you haven't been trading in accordance with a plan, you quickly realize what you have been missing." Ray R., February 2012
"OTA Phoenix has the friendliest staff! Everyone is genuinely concerned about my future!" Scott M., February 2012
"OTA staff were eager to help and please. Easy to talk to and willing to help to continue my knowledge in trading." Rade Z., February 2012
"The level of professionalism in the Phoenix office is great. I took the class for the first time in 2010, liked it then. The class is fast paced and focused. Kudos, OTA." Mike W., January 2012
"Wow! It has been 4 weeks since I took the Professional Trading Course at OTA. I am having great success using the tools and techniques that I learned in class. My trading account now stands at 12% higher and I can see a time, that I will be able to replace my engineering paycheck with my active trading account. Please extend my thanks to Steve and the Scottsdale OTA staff for their help." Ray M., January 2012
2011
"Your staff is outstanding." Louise C., November 2011

"Staff is exceptional! It is the attitude and professionalism of the staff and instructors that make OTA what it is and make me recommend it to others and to justify the cost." David M., October 2011
"Atmosphere was friendly and supportive due to the staff and instructor." Bea K., September 2011
"What I liked best: "The instructor, the training material (2011 version), the staff was supportive and helped whenever we had questions outside the classroom. I like the opportunity to visit the coaches as I need and the ability to retake the classes as I need them. I have been having a sting of losing trades and I was able to figure out the reason within 2 days. The material is current; the strategies are proven and solid. All you have to do is duplicate what is being taught in the class and modify for your particular needs and style and you can become a successful trader. Of all the course I have taken and looked at, OTA was the one that met my needs. The only way to duplicate what you learn here is to become a floor trader for 20 years." Dave M., August 2011

"Very friendly staff." Barbara C., April 2010
"Just the overall experience and professionalism of Online Trading Academy is outstanding! This is bang for the buck. I challenge any other trading school or seminar to compete with Online Trading Academy. For the information that you get at Online Trading Academy, I think it is worth way more that the cost of tuition. Anyone can leave here with the tools to make a very nice living. Add to that the professionalism and knowledge of the instructors and staff are second to none. Thanks Online Trading Academy!" Jesse A., April 2010

"I took this class to get a general idea about Forex, what I got was a great education well beyond what I expected. Steve is one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. He was very professional and gave a lot of personal attention to all students regardless of their level." Jerry N., February 2010
"After having spent a lot of money with a competitor, I quickly learned the difference in having a company who puts more focus on teaching classes and a company who seems to put more focus on selling you another class. Sorry that I spent so much money with another company before I learned about Online Trading Academy." Linda S., February 2010
"This was a retake class for me. All personnel at Online Trading Academy are top notch! The positive attitude of the instructors is a plus. (This includes Don from my first class). Retakes and other Online Trading Academy events are a big plus and makes the cost worthwhile." Joseph D., January 2010
"The Professional Trader class was extremely informative. It was presented in a manner that did not scare me from initiating a trade. I feel totally comfortable executing a trade because stops were stressed in class and various entry patterns were clearly demonstrated. The monies I will lose are going to be minimal because of the information given in the class...and the rewards will be great!!!!! Anyone who is able/willing to trade in the market would benefit from this class." Lee N., January 2010
"Online Trading Academy is the group that keeps on giving! I really appreciate the ongoing learning experiences offered by Online Trading Academy. It has been an investment that keeps on providing returns, as it grows with market changes and training experience." Clif U., January 2010
2009
"My first experience with Online Trading Academy began in June, 2009. At that time my knowledge of the stock market was that "it was this thing they talked about on CNBC." This was my second Pro Trader 2 retake and I am an XLT student. I have learned so much about the stock market since June. I'm not the fastest learner but what strikes me is how much information I have been able to retain...and use! The retention says A LOT about the clarity and framing of the curriculum design. I'm absolutely happy that I learned about Online Trading Academy and made the decision to stick with them!" Mark R., December 2009
"Online Trading Academy Phoenix staff and instructors give students the feeling that if there is anything standing in the way of trading success, those hurdles will be passed. By class retakes, or personal hand-holding. Even before the class began, the hand-holding started. Discussion of trade plans and other topics orient the student in Forex trading terminology, and other useful topics. Nothing but kudos to Steven and Drew for this effort." Bill M., October 2009
"I enjoyed learning about the reversal patterns, continuation patters, indicators, and reading the candles. The most important thing I’ll take from the class will be the money management." Chaz J., September 2009
"Online Trading Academy is the best at doing as its name implies "trading academy," in which one learns to trade. I have been through many teaching/education programs and none focus on applications as does Online Trading Academy." Bradley L., September 2009
"I enjoyed the actual trading ideas, suggestions, cautions, in-depth technicals, excellent trading plan ideas, careful guidelines and instructor’s willingness to share personal techniques and plans." Jill F., August 2009
"I liked the reinforcement of discipline with stops by practicing live trading. Also, the help with risk management and getting direction on my trading plan." Sarah D., August 2009
"This is my sixth Online Trading Academy course and I've never been disappointed by an instructor - they each bring unique abilities and information but have been uniformly excellent as traders." Margee M., August 2009
"Love the staff here, they treat you like family!" Bill M., July 2009
"It was, without a doubt, the best money you can spend toward your Trading Education. The Class, the instructors, the agenda.... Super, Thank You Online Trading Academy." James H., July 2009
"I have always found the financial classes I have attended at Online Trading Academy quite an abundance of needed education." Shelley S., June 2009
"This class taught me techniques to use when trading depending on timeframe. I am more confident trading now than I was when entering this class." Bob A., June 2009
"I have been trading stocks and options for 13 years but did not fully understand how the markets, brokers, and trading actually happens. This class has given me the info and insight into trading that I needed to move to my next level of trading. I highly recommend it to everyone." Red B., May 2009
"The knowledge, experience and expertise of the instructor were amazing! I am so grateful for the quality of education that Online Trading Academy provides thru such excellent instructors (this was my second class). And the best part is meeting like-minded traders. I found my trading partner at Online Trading Academy!!" Diane L., April 2009
"I believe the Online Trading Academy program is the best program available for learning how to trade equities using technical measures. I really like the ability to repeat classes at no charge. I also love the in person classes where you have instructor(s) to ask questions of." Stanley W., April 2009
"Online Trading Academy is totally legit! The instructors are for real. Also, the unlimited re-take policy is great." Jerry E., April 2009
"I found this course to be of excellent value. Compared to another trading and chart reading course I had taken, this course makes the material much more understandable and the instructor was very willing to spend time with each individual to be sure questions and concerns were addressed." Hal P., March 2009
"The information was presented slow and simple so I could understand it. The instructor was knowledgeable about what he was teaching and he took the time to answer everyone's questions." James B., February 2009
"The support given by the entire staff is exceptional. I had all my questions answered and have confidence I can return as new issues arise. My relationship with this school is one I feel strongly will be long term. I did not know just a short time ago, how soon I would feel such an increase in confidence. The Market is no longer such a mystery and I look forward to my ongoing success and a fantastic learning environment. This was what I had been seeking for a long time!" Margee M., February 2009
"I think this was the best learning experience I have had regarding investing in the market. I've taken other classes and they just don't compare." Jean M., January 2009

"I have been buying investment software and going to investment seminars for many years, coming to Online Trading Academy will end all my searching from now on." Ellis C., December 2008
"I have been trading for several years and initiated my journey with Wade Cook and Cook U. I have taken 36 seminars for trading in my years. This is the best intro. class of all the seminars I have taken. What increases the value of the course is the fact that solicitations for products are not done and the professor commits to teaching methods of trading only. This course covered areas I had never seen in other seminars and had to learn the hard way." Joseph M., December 2008
"The personal service that was presented did not end after purchase of the training. I have attended many 1, 2, 3, and a 5 day training and here I was taught more pertinent information that I can use right away than in those other trainings combined. Thank you Online Trading Academy and especially Jeff." Johnny L., December 2008
"If you want a great Forex foundation course, this would be the one." Steve B., November 2008
"Online Trading Academy delivers the tools and information you need to get off the bench and get in the game. I will absolutely be employing the principles I learned in the course. I am confident that the principles I learned at the Pro Trader I course will take my trading to the next level." Randal W., November 2008
"I found Online Trading Academy to be very professional with well experienced instructors. I have learned exactly what I came here to learn and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. I believe the training will continue to influence my trading for years to come. Very beneficial." Red B., November 2008
"This is the best money I have ever spent. I would be interested in a futures class." Bob E., November 2008
"The material is built up brick by brick. It helped to make a solid foundation for my new position as a professional trader. Jeff is THE best class instructor that I have ever had the privlege to learn under!!" Jennifer L., October 2008
"Online Trading Academy is dedicated to the best quality education possible and works toward that end every day." Keith, September 2008

"The Forex class provided by Online Trading Academy is superb. The best part of it was the hands-on Forex trading practice with your Forex instructor guiding you over your shoulder. After taking this class I am confident enough to do what bankers and Forex Hedge fund managers do." Martin A., July 2008
"I have had been to many seminars in my life. Online Trading Academy is by far the most professional and best organized schooling that I have ever experienced. Fantastic, well worth to cost by far." Robert M., July 2008
"Really wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in taking charge of their own trading future. Interesting instructors with immense knowledge, patience, and consideration. Just to know that you can come back and refresh at no charge is also such a comfort. I'm really looking forward to putting my lessons to use." Diane M., June 2008
"I enjoyed the class. It was fast paced. Helped me see how trading works, I really enjoyed watching Mike make trades. He narrated as he executed the trade. And how to apply the information. It helped me understand what each subject was about then brought everything together in a useable format." Deborah C., April 2008
"This is by far the best class on trading. After going to several free ones to investigate, there was no logical other choice but Online Trading Academy. It's right on point and worth every dollar spent." Martine H., February 2008
"Funnelled a tremendous amount of information into manageable packets - and then teaches you how to deploy your knowledge. A great course and value." Paul M., January 2008
2007
"The inside secrets of the market makers, which I can take advantage of in my own trading, were the most useful of all the lessons that I have learned in this class. I can then teach all the knowledge I have learned to my wife, son and daughter so they can do their own trading very soon. I am very confident that I can raise some funds to shoulder the expenses of my next medical mission to my hometown in the Philippines where I left 57 years ago. Mike was very much open to all the questions of novice and advanced traders. This is "THE CLASS" that I can recommend to all my colleagues in the medical profession after having attended so many classes in the past. The food and drinks were plentiful and we had no chance of getting hungry or thirsty during the entire week of our classes where I have to show up early, at six o'clock in the morning, to avoid the traffic and study the premarket events or news. The personnel in the school were all very helpful." Herm P., December 2007
"I wasn't sure what to expect. I was surprised that I was the only woman in a class of 17 men. In the last 7 days I have learned a wealth of information. I feel ready to start in the real world. Others in my class voiced that they have taken other classes in the past and none of them compared to this class. I feel fortunate that we had an extremely knowledgeable instructor (Mike) that genuinely cared that we had a great learning experience. The hands on training really brought everything together that we learned." Barb T., December 2007
"I have taken other courses before, but never has an instructor provided such useful insight and expertise as Mike. I can now leave this class; CONFIDENT that I can now start to trade live....and in time will get very good at trading. Being able to retake the course is a great benefit, and trading on a live platform is what is needed to get over the fear and anxiety of actually starting to trade. The course material was well put together, but Mike and his knowledge of this business (as well as anything he spoke about) was superior. This is the class that made the difference for me, and I will be taking advanced Online Trading Academy courses in the future." Gino P., December 2007
"I have taken this class as a repeat at no additional charge as Online Trading Academy promised. I was able to grasp new concepts to further improve my trading skills. Again very satisfied with the Online Trading Academy approach to training. Keep up the great work. I like how Rob is experimenting for continuous improvement. Also, I am grateful that I am able to learn these skills from a pro-trader that walks his talk. Great job - Thank you." Darek Z., October 2007
