  I joined *** in May and had numerous classes in many asset categories. No one has promised or guaranteed that Ill be successful, but everyone is working very hard to help me become one. There are so many resources every day, from trading setups for stocks, futures, options, Forex , crypto, to live trading with instructors and practice sessions. You are spoiled for choices!Once you sign up for a course, you can retake it indefinitely, in person or on line, with recorded courses you can also take on demand. Honestly, I dont know of any schools or courses that would offer something like that. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable, many come from professional trader backgrounds, and they are more than willing to help you succeed. I met a lot of new, but also old traders who feel that this is their community and they keep coming back to refresh their trading knowledge and be around like minded , supportive students and teachers. Trading is hard, it can feel like you are gambling with your money, and the *** way is teaching you to navigate through the process, and helping you make income and also grow your portfolio. The negative reviews seem to come from people who didnt sign up, or didnt start their courses. Its easy to be negative and judge someone, but this school has helped many people do very well in life. *** is a business, and they have the right to set their price. If you dont like it or cant afford, dont do it. Simple as that!

  This company is a scam in *******. They have a space in ******** ** where they teach a 3 day class that teaches nothing about trading. All they talk is about how great their trades are but dont really cover the material they said they would teach. Their only goal is to get your money. So far they have never provided access to the classes I signed up for. They made me take out a loan which now I have to pay for services I have not received. They are so nice when they are trying to get you to sign up but as soon as issues are brought up they turn aggressive and harass you with intimidating ams threatening emails. I am not the only one here. Be careful with OTA and dont trust them.

  I recently completed a Core Strategy course with Online Trading Academy in **********, ** and I could not be happier with the level of professionalism I have received from all of the staff there at every juncture. At first, I was incredibly skeptical but I did the 3-hour free introductory course on a Saturday. The instructor was very honest and very knowledgeable. From there I did their $ 199-weekend course and again, the instructor was amazing. I took the plunge and signed up for 2 paid courses at that point. At no point did OTA promise me or guarantee me that I would be a profitable trader. They teach you a strategy that is proven to be profitable but their strategy must be followed. It does require a certain amount of intelligence and an even larger amount of discipline to be profitable with their strategy but it does work. Furthermore, the additional resources available to students from their website are second to none. I am learning something new every day. I am going back to them in June for the course on Future's and am also considering a course on Options. Online Trading Academy is not cheap because what they provide in terms of education and support is not cheap. It is an investment in your future.

  I joined Online Trading Academy 9 months ago and my life has changed completely since. I have been a lot of places, but never seen any other school which would care so much about its students like OTA. Every instructor would treat each student individually. Whether youre young teenager from high school or already retired, *** has something for you and these guys will find a way to make you understand the most powerful tool that was ever created in trading industry which calls Core Strategy. Its only about a time to learn CS and once you got it, the door into successful and most importantly independent future would be wide open for you. In my opinion the most important at OTA is that instructors would spend a lot of time speaking about psychology and would make students mentally strong enough to not afraid of market. The investment into my education at Online Trading Academy is the best in my life and it definitely worth every cent and sooner you join, sooner youll realize that life is to short to be depended of someone and that your destiny is in your own hands and the best mentors of OTA will help you to find it.

  Joining OTA was easily one of the best decisions I've made. The educational content they provide is very professional and has built up my confidence in trading. Both the staff and ** at ********** location are very friendly.

  I already left a lengthy review on Yelp and a brief one on ******* went to orientation and felt I had more knowledge than the instructor, it was pretty amusing where you could spot these shills in the room, there were no more than a handful of attendees in the class! the worst part is when the instructor pressured you to sign up for the class even though he wasn't able or didn't have the technical knowledge to explain a simple technical question! he kept dodging the question.********************** and worst yet dont waste your time. you'll get more just by watching u tube.

  WARNING! There are a lot of bad stories about ********** story is one of them. I subscribed to Strategic Trader - Trading Rooms, it was not worth it for me, so, when I canceled my subscription I had a service credit balance of $199.84. I asked them many times to refund it to me but they did not. First, on January 28 2023, they replied to my request and said "We will need to check into your request for a refund and get back to you early next week." After that they of course did not get back to me! Then I sent them many emails and each time they found an excuse to not refund my money, until now I get nothing from them. I will keep fighting until I get back my money.My message for anyone who wants to participate in any activities with ***, don't if it will cost you ONE single dollar.

  Dear ***, We are saddened to have received this extremely negative review and more so because your contact record doesn't show any prior grievances, issues, or complaints that we might have resolved in a progressive manner. In spite of the challenge our business endured, the goal of helping our more than ****** students build confidence in their investing skills has never wavered. We remain committed to delivering world-class financial education and can stand proud about the value and impact of our education, as well as our integrity to resolve matters fairly, but unfortunately, it appears we were not given that opportunity. We of course remain open to continued dialogue to hear specifically about your concerns.

  Amazingly friendly community. I am a little slow at learning new things but this group was always willing to help and now i am getting it. Yes you get out of this what you put into it and Im happy with my progress. Before I knew very little about stocks but now can trade. I love it.

  THIS BUSINESS IS A SCAM!!They promise profitable easy trading.They deliver instructors, salespeople, and pitchmen who themselves are not successful traders, After an *** investigation:The *** alleged that *** had no evidence that purchasers were likely to realize the advertised profits, and that the companys own surveys and third party trading data showed that most purchasers made little to no money. *** also claimed that its instructors and salespeople were active, successful traders, pointing consumers to their supposed success as evidence the strategy worked. But the *** alleged those claims were false or unsubstantiated, and that several high-profile OTA pitchmen admitted they did not make significant money trading. THIS BUSINESS IS A SCAM!!
