"Staff is great." Matthew N., August 2010
"I think that the education at Online Trading Academy helps greatly in both shortening the learning curve and helping one get profitable faster than if they were to try to learn on their own. Books are great and so are seminars but it's important to learn from someone who actually trades successfully so that you can do what they are doing. Online Trading Academy having actual facilities also helped with my decision to attend. The fact that Online Trading Academy has instructors who not just instruct and teach about trading, but also trade is what helped with my decision to attend Online Trading Academy. The instructors' qualifications vary greatly and so do their experiences, which help to enhance the courses that they teach. The classes are all very in-depth and each instructor has a different style and takes that with them when they instruct in class. Students have the opportunity to learn from different instructors and pick and choose what concepts or styles they wish to use for their own trading. The fact that students are also given unlimited retakes is invaluable since some concepts may not have been learned the first time they take a class. The retakes also help greatly when one needs a refresher course to help with review of the concepts taught. I would highly recommend Online Trading Academy, their education and their staff." Quinn A., August 2010
"Staff is always excellent, they do a GREAT job." Nestor P., July 2010
"Lots of hands on application mixed with education to keep class interesting and break up possible monotony of all material lecture. World application to go with material at appropriate intervals. Plenty of stretch breaks and ability to use "free" time to our advantage. Secaucus is a great center, close to NYC, easily accessible, clean, organized locale with friendly, personable staff. All great people and a pleasure to know and interact with." Al W., July 2010
"This is a great value." Michael K., June 2010

"Online Trading Academy is the Gold Standard in trading instruction. The instructors are second to none, the facilities are warm, inviting and very conducive to providing a great learning environment. It took me awhile to find Online Trading Academy but now that I have I'm never leaving and with their lifetime re-take option, I don't have to worry about ever leaving. I've been a trader and investor for most of my adult life, but the best investment that I've ever made was in myself with a Platinum Passport, which I will be upgrading to a Diamond Passport very soon." Ralph M., March 2010
"These guys are the best. They know how to welcome people into their place of business. Terrific. We feel very welcome and they make sure all of our needs are met. Everyone has a smile here.

"First class facility and staff and Merlin is an outstanding instructor. Thank you all very much." Don C., February 2010

"Tip top as always." Doug O., February 2010
"Excellent integrated overview of the platform.

Derek D., February 2010
"I have learned a lot from Anthony, as well as the students here. Coming to Online Trading Academy has given me a positive attitude towards stock trading and a sense of confidence. There is a lot of knowledge and resource available here that opens a whole new road to opportunities." Irteza H., February 2010
"Everyone here is simply wonderful. I enjoyed the realization of figuring out that I can indeed trade professionally. I also enjoy that it is not a get rich quick scheme and that there are lifelong disciplines and principles in play and that the class brings them to light. This is an excellent course that is well worth the money. The instructors are extremely professional, know their material and have the experience to answer any question you may have. Three days in this course will make you look at the rear view mirror of life and have you kicking yourself for not knowing what you learn in this course. Highly recommend it for anyone seriously considering becoming a trader." Jonathan R., January 2010

"I think this class is fantastic. Never boring. Always full of new information. The instructor is great. Out of all the ways I tried to learn about trading....books, other traders, seminars....etc., this place is the best. I have learned so much here and I am so glad I came." Janet F., July 2009
"This class has greatly influenced the way that I trade and will trade. The techniques are very useful. Sal has a real nice easy going way about him." Gerard R., June 2009
"I enjoyed the class very much, and I found it to be extremely helpful since I had little to no knowledge in trading. After taking just part 1 of the class, I felt that it gave me the tools necessary to being trading at an acceptable risk level and can see myself using these tools even far into the future as I become more experienced. Sal was a great instructor and he passed on a lot of prudent knowledge and plans to us that allowed him to be successful!" Edwin L., June 2009
"Online Trading Academy's unique feature to repeat the course for free is great. Instructor Salvatore is the best. I have taken his class twice. His ability to show concepts being taught on real charts is good. He also does some inspirational talk, which I think is the best." Susheel B., June 2009
"Class definitely gives you an edge to compete against the market makers. Live trading helps you to remember the things you were taught better. Lou has a great approach to teaching." Rudy H., June 2009
"Lou is a superb trainer. He is attentive and genuinely cares about the success of each student. He enjoys what he does and it comes through in his passion and energy in class. I took the class before, and within the first week I made my tuition back on the first couple of trades. I have hit some obstacles in my trading and decided to take advantage of the free retakes. I am even more impressed with the school and Doc the second time around. Within the first day of class Lou shared with us strategies that will turn my trading around immediately. The fact that the instructor is a professional day trader who actually walks the walk instead of a professor who never traded in his/her life teaching theory and then the opportunity to immediately putting the strategies to use in live trading Online Trading Academy rocks. This is by far the best bang for the buck when it comes to an education. Learning how to master trading (or investing if that is your goal) will improve your life more than any degree or formal education you may get...period!" Ezekiel R., June 2009
"It was an intense 7 days of learning. The skills I was taught will last a lifetime. Highly recommend it! Best to all who made it possible. Lou is awesome! So far so good on getting what I paid for, I truly feel that this is the best course by far. I now have the confidence that after I complete the course, not only will I make money but I know that I will get back every penny I spent on the other courses I've taken in the past." Tony O., May 2009
"The information and skills taught at Online Trading Academy will definitely help propel my new career in trading. I came in knowing zero walked out knowing more and having the confidence and skills ready at my disposal to begin my new career in trading-thank you Online Trading Academy!!!!!" Daniel F., May 2009
"I came into this class with an intuition that trading would be a great career for me. I have left after the first 3 days with a strong feeling of wanting to, and feeling very confident, that I can master this profession. Lou is a great instructor. He keeps it very simple and easy to understand. He has helped me to understand a field which I had zero knowledge about, but only a strong interest in. I feel really excited to continue on to Pro Trader 2, and continue to learn!" Jeffrey K., May 2009
"Lou shows genuine interest in helping students learn. Not only does he know the course material but is also an excellent teacher. Instructor is friendly and takes an interest in student's situations, creates a good atmosphere for learning, addresses each student's questions adequately, and shares knowledge with entire class. I like the fact that he is able to share his personal trading experiences. The class opened eyes with insights about the stock movements. Moderate my risks and allow me develop some confidence in making trades. I recommend this stock trading class to all who wish to get started in trading or to improve their trading skills." Rebeca C., May 2009
"The class is great if you want to learn how to trade, you get more in-depth with the charts. How to read the charts." Feroze I., May 2009
"I liked the fact that the course focuses on risk management. As a beginner trader my 2 concerns were 1) Losing money 2) When to execute a trade. The class under the guise of risk management eliminated those concerns. "For the first time since finishing college, I have found something I am passionate about doing as a career. Online Trading Academy has given me the confidence to pursue trading full time." "As a business school student in finance, my program does not teach trading at all. This is the only legitimate game on the street, and more business school students need to understand if they want to trade, Online Trading Academy is the way to go!" Greg B., May 2009
"Online Trading Academy Secaucus is a great institution. Staff is professional and friendly. My skills, confidence and foundational knowledge have been enhanced. This experience has given me the confidence to actively pursue a second career as a trader. I look forward to increasing my knowledge level as I proceed to Pro Trader 2. I wish I'd taken this course 2 years ago before I started trading! I can highly recommend Online Trading Academy for teaching the "right way" to trade, limit risk and understand what's going on in the market. A crucial benefit is the ability to retake classes at no extra cost - there is a lot to learn. A great experience all round." Paul K., May 2009
"I started my “novice” trading in 1987, taking advantage of the stock market tumble. I was buying up blue chip stocks (IBM @ $50 ) with a “buy and hold” strategy. Over the years I made some money, but when I lost money it took almost all my accumulated profits. I pulled back from active trading for a while … but watched the market movement. During this time I was involved in the Manhattan commercial real estate market. Flash forward to 2007 - 2008, another opportune time emerged to pick up, once again, more “newly undervalued” major USA company stocks, (Caterpillar, Apple, Dow, etc). On top of this I discovered Emerging Market stocks (primarily from China & Brazil). I was enthusiastic once again, but not wanting to experience the sting of marginal profits from the tired game of “buy & hold” I researched the best sources for learning how to properly trade the markets. I journeyed the yellow brick road, aka the internet, it brought me to ONLINE TRADING ACADEMY. April 2009, was an eye-opening introduction to what was needed to make me a true trader. My wife and I first signed up for the 7 day Pro Trader course. The instructor, a professional trader, gave us great trading tools, disciplines and insights grown from his hard-earned market experience. In short, the clouds parted and we saw the chart patterns more clearly. We applied the learning to our daily trading accounts and saw an immediate improvement in our trades. It was like having our own personal ATM machine at home. We were eager to take advantage of the Online Trading Academy lifetime retake opportunity. Each instructor whose course we took gave us his successful trading strategies. We became more knowledgeable and confident trading today’s volatile markets. My wife and I are most pleased with our Online Trading Academy experience. Given Online Trading Academy’s global reach and caliber support staffing, plus their professional approach to profitable trading, I would strongly suggest that anyone interested in THE BEST, (the most thorough), training in either Equities, Forex, Options or Futures sign up and join the Online Trading Academy international family." Howard and Anna Farrar, April 2009
"Great instructor! Really happy to have him at our class. He is passionate about trading and that shows in his lectures. He tries to give us more information than the PowerPoint presentations and always shares personal experiences; which enhance the overall learning process for all students." Armando T., March 2009
"The structure which is so logical and really gets you to start formulating a plan of action, not only on starting your trading business but how to attack the markets and plan your trade. Lou has a great personality and has taken material that could have easily been complicated or boring and made it exciting and fun!" Charles M., March 2009
"Forex Trader course gives you the best chance to be profitable by not losing your money." William D., February 2009
"Rick was an excellent instructor and was able to cover the material and answer all questions presented to him. He was patient with all the students in the class but the class was never boring, even for those with a little more advanced background. Rick's focus on the fundamentals of technical analysis (S/R, trend lines, etc.) is really great because it allows the students to concentrate on the most significant factors without getting side-tracked by too much noise such as redundant." Roy S., February 2009
"Online Trading Academy is an excellent Academy for learning and offers the best educational classes and Instructors." Ted F., February 2009
"Instructor's delivery, knowledge, and attitude. Sharing personal experiences and not just "reading" the PPT presentation. Very fair value for the money. As stated previously, will take again because I am completely new to Forex but understood quite a bit, and then will take part II. Being a beginner in Forex trading, I was very impressed with what I actually was able to retain and that was because of the instructor, Rick's delivery and knowledge. Would recommend course to anyone." Deborah C., February 2009
"Online Trading Academy is really good concept for individuals trying to learn in class which clarifies more questions & builds confidence when you deal with peers personally. This class has truly extended my knowledge about trading and it was exceptional experience for me personally. I think it is a life changing experience." Srilatha S., February 2009
"I would recommend this to anyone interested in trading. even if you do not become someone who trades for their primary living, this course will help you avoid the classic mistakes that most "investors" make, and save you a lot of money and grief!" David P., January 2009
"I always wanted to short stocks, but didn't really have the right platform and confidence to execute the short trade. As a result my only avenue was to buy a put option or buy an ETF. Now I know the correct platform to trade on, and have the access and knowledge to grow my trading business professionally. The ability to retake the course as many times as needed is a great benefit to both experienced and beginning traders. If you love the market, you'll love Online Trading Academy!" John N., January 2009
"I had been teaching myself online trading using the indicators for years and when I went to the interview and they went over these types of indicators, I knew immediately I was trying to re-invent the wheel. That is when I knew I wanted the class. They fine tuned me to only take small losses and let the winners run. I think some of the TRADING SECRETS I learned are going to make me profitable in the future." Kevin C., January 2009
2008
"It was incredible to see the mind of a real Forex pro working during class. Ed was really amazing in delivering the material and complementing it with his own methods and experiences. I left the room with a total confidence that with perseverance, using the provided strategies, having the correct attitude and keeping the proper risk management I will not lose my money and be able to generate further income. Thank you Ed and thank you Online Trading Academy." Carlos P., December 2008
"I returned to learn more about my mistakes and to improve my trading skill and it is working. I will recommend it to anybody with the desire to learn to trade. The best thing is I can take the class again at no cost." Gelmer L., December 2008
"The class was amazing. It taught me things that are easily ignored while trading (rules and discipline) and now I feel like I have an edge while trading markets because I am playing on a level playing field." Gaurav L., November 2008
"After being a specialist on the floor of the NYSE for many years, I was already familiar with many of the concepts that were being taught. I attended Online Trading Academy to translate my knowledge of the market into the different mentality of day trading. I believe the Training Academy approach has prepared me to be a successful day and swing trader by teaching the disciplines and science of day and swing trading." Roy H., October 2008
"The written material was excellent. The trading platform was excellent. The instructor was exceptionally gifted." Bruno B., October 2008
"Having previewed a few other trading schools, this was the most comprehensive course. It was also the most honest. And with their retake policy, the goal of being a successful trader is very attainable." Margaret C., September 2008
"This was a great class that actually taught you to trade specific strategies and not just the basics and then left you to figure out trading strategies on your own." Anthony D., September 2008
"I recommend taking this course well worth the price of admission!! You truly get a sense of the market and see how things develop. I recommend taking Ed. To become the best it only makes sense to learn from the best!!! You will have no regrets enrolling with Online Trading Academy." Stephen A., August 2008

It has made me a better trader and given me enough skills that will allow me to make money and continually improve my financial situation. Thanks a million." Ray V., July 2008
"Being in a live environment where entry and exit can be determined on a moving market was great. When people use historical charts for teaching; it can be very easy to find the exact chart to prove your point. But on a moving market you must prove your point on the fly which is what our instructor Ed did." Gary S., July 2008
"I always thought you had to risk a lot to make a lot. This class taught me to control risk and still profit. I can now see myself doing quite well in the market." Pat M., June 2008
"I found the Options Training to be very helpful. I am very much looking forward to expanding my trading knowledge further and Online Trading Academy is an excellent facility in which to learn." Ted F., June 2008
"The class covers the basics and then accelerates quickly so you get good value for your money. Online Trading Academy is great because they give you knowledge and training as a good foundation to use. They have lots of highly qualified instructors, not a "one-man-show" pretending to offer "the Holy Grail of Trading". If anything, the Holy Grail is the major emphasis on RISK MANAGEMENT. I highly recommend this class." Ray S., May 2008
"I have taken one other technical analysis class & this was far superior - no comparison." Douglas K., April 2008
"Book learning is good, but there is nothing like actually trading with the instructor looking over your shoulder to point out what you are doing right and wrong." Margaret L., April 2008
"I came here thinking I knew a lot about stock investing. My wife always told me, you should take this class because you are so knowledgeable and this is an opportunity to hone your skills. After only three days I realized that I knew very little and there was so much more to learn and understand. I am very anxious to put this information to the "real test". thank you." Steve R., March 2008
"I owed it to myself to set aside everything I knew and start from scratch. Having an understanding certainly helped, but letting my guard down allowed me to train myself to be more disciplined and rule oriented. While I didn't make a lot of trades this week; I felt it was the quality of the trades I was making that was better. I used this to help condition myself for the road ahead. I would highly recommend this class for anyone that is serious about learning about the markets and how to manage risk to help minimize losses and be disciplined to let the winners run. Market Experience - 15 years." Irfan R., February 2008
"I'm a 45 year old construction worker, never had any knowledge of the market. The education I've learned here is unbelievable, can't wait to start trading. I feel very comfortable with what I've learned here, as long as I apply it I'm sure I will be successful. Thank you Merlin & Online Trading Academy." George A., February 2008
"Trading in real time and observing the markets while in action took a lot of the insecurity away. Knowledgeable and experienced instructors added to the whole experience." Clarisse F., January 2008
2007
"The FOREX trading course far exceeded my expectations (which I thought were quite high). I learned a new profession in 1 week! I believe I now have the training and confidence to trade this market profitably and I do not think I could have achieved this on my own. I would not advise any friend of mine to trade the currency markets without the training and education I received at Online Trading Academy." David S., November 2007
"The Advanced Forex class was outstanding. It took me as a novice and gave me first, a fundamental understanding of the market, and then the tools to profit from it. Rick did a great job of showing us how to trade this lucrative market and avoid the mistakes that bankrupt most rookies. Your wallet will thank you for getting trained the right way." Bill D., November 2007
"Before I started this class, options were "greek" to me....Stan brought options to life and broadened my ability to trade!" Bill N., October 2007
"Being a swing trader, I learned so much about what to buy, when to sell short, and how to place stops to limit losses. Excellent class for everyone who is interested in learning how to navigate through the market. The delivery of the course material was done very well and the entire staff in the school was very professional and friendly. A great experience overall. Thanks." Kar C., October 2007
"The class covered trading from the most basic level to all the way up. People with prior experience as well as the new ones learnt a lot. It has certainly given me a much better understanding of stock market, the buy / sell points. Overall a week well spent. Excellent experience very nice staff." Ashish D., September 2007
"I have been investing for more than twenty years and only now, after taking classes with Online Trading Academy can I truly say that I am a stock trader and more. The things I learned from the classes can never be learned by just reading through all the books in investing." Liz L., August 2007
"The course definitely helped with the understanding with charts and knowing where the highest probability trades. Definitely has improved my trading." Jasmine W., August 2007

"Learned a lot from this class. The professor was very knowledgeable. Before coming to this class I knew a few terms and strategies on how to get in and out of stocks. After taking this class, I now know many more different ways of approaching the situation. Learned many ways to do your own research with the power of the internet. Great class. Will take it again." Jerry P., April 2007
"I think the Professional Trader Part 1 and Part 2 was a great way to get the information and confidence I need to start a new career as a full-time day trader. I have nearly 30 years experience as a stockbroker, working as both an analyst and as a salesman servicing institutional accounts. In all that time I have never been a trader, so much of the information and the hands-on trading experience was new to me. After completing the course, I am sure that the inevitable mistakes one makes as a beginning trader would have cost me far more than the tuition I paid for this class. As a professional in the investment industry, I knew what I didn't know and these courses have helped to fill those important gaps in my knowledge." Jeff U., April 2007
"I truly enjoyed the course because when I first started I was a complete novice on trading. This course has given me a sense of direction in trading. I would not have believed if someone told me that after a three day course I would be trading. I think more practice will bring me to the level I will like to be." Kaodichimma A., March 2007
"With 25 years of experience in the markets I thought I would be completely bored. This was not the case at all. I'm anxious to get the demo going and get to work on changing my life." Scott B., March 2007
"The knowledge base I attained over the course of instruction is phenomenal. I learned way more than I expected. The instructor went above and beyond simple instruction to complex trading strategies for future trading when our skills become more developed. The other students in the class helped as well. I learned from them when they expressed different points of view and different perspectives on a subject or situation." George C., January 2007

"I did a lot of research in selecting a class. This was definitely worth the money and the time. I feel very confident that I will have no problem following the recommended steps provided in starting my new trading endeavor." Ida M., November 2006
"I have taken other classes. This class was far better and more personal than the others. This course actually TAUGHT trading. I felt that the explanation of various aspects helped me weigh the importance of these aspects, which I believe will make me a better trader." Barbara B., October 2006
"I was making all the mistakes they instructed us not to. This class could have been my insurance cost before I started trading. These people are experienced, professional, and here to help you make money!" Robert L., October 2006
"When I started taking classes at the Online Trading Academy I did not know the difference between an investor and a trader. Online Trading Academy focuses on every aspect of trading from beginners level to advance level. I never placed a trade before attending the classes at the Online Trading Academy due to the lack of knowledge and confidence but now I've gained a good foundation and my confidence level has increased. I understand that I need to mature and develop my trading skills but I know I made a good choice by receiving my education at the Online Trading Academy because I'm ahead of many traders I know who've been trading for years." Johnny V., August 2006
"Being a trader for many years, I welcomed the review and updates of past knowledge as well as new insights into trading methods that will help me in the future." William B., June 2006
"I love the class. It showed what I was doing wrong, as well as showing proper techniques. Also explaining all indicators and trading procedures in simple English." Thad C., June 2006
