Online Trading Academy

in Websites / Courses & Coaching etc.

The world leader in professional education for traders who want to succeed in any market, and any asset class.

Online Trading Academy’s roots can be traced back to 1997, as one of the largest trading floors in the U.S., with 180 traders averaging half a billion dollars in daily transactions. To improve results, managers and the top traders offered daily coaching sessions in how to trade more consistently and profitably.

In 2001, we shifted our focus to solely providing education. Today we have a community of over 10,000 students that have learned to trade with the skill and confidence of professional traders.

Trader education for every need and experience level:
We offer professional instruction in all of our state-of-the-art teaching facilities around the world, as well as a wide array of home study materials.

Classes cover a spectrum of trading styles and asset classes, from Short Term Trading, Swing Trading, Position Trading, and Investment Theory for Stocks, Exchange Traded Funds, Options, Futures (Eminis & Commodities) and Currencies.

Our on-location courses are geared toward individual investors or traders, novice or experienced, who want to learn how to use the same tools and professional trading techniques as the professional traders on Wall Street. These courses offer a complete education and training experience focusing on trading fundamentals, technical analysis, risk management, and highly-developed skills of execution for virtually any trading instrument.

Once the mechanics of trading have been learned, graduates may opt to spend an additional training period in our virtual classroom called Extended Learning Track, an online learning experience which enables the student to choose the area of study that best fits their chosen trading style, asset class and learning objectives. We have also developed a series of home-study CDs, which can be used on their own or in conjunction with our courses.

Most of the classes we teach offer tuition reimbursement from our broker/dealer partners, so essentially you are taking the class for free! And we are unique in integrating live trading by the student in the class, with all expenses paid by us. We give you an account and cover your commissions and losses because we believe the only way to learn trading is to do it, in the live market with an experienced trader/instructor at your side.

As an Online Trading Academy student, you’ll become part of a community of active traders committed to succeed through continuously improving their professional skills. In fact, many of our classes offer free “retakes” for as long as you’re associated with us while others offer lifetime learning at a reasonable cost.

No proof! No boards or way for members to communicate with each other.

I personally took a 1 week trial in the room and was so intrigued that a guy could talk a mile a minute and after 15 minutes you still have no idea whether he is going long or short...and thats in 4 or 5 markets! The moderator 'seems" to be a nice guy, but I hear on other boards that if they ask about money back guarantees in the room you get banned. Also it seems that they dont let the people in the chat room see what the others are saying. I alwaysa ask why in that situatiion and the answer is always the same. "We dont want the serious student to be interuppted." Thats bull, All that student would have to do is just use the moderator only feature. I actually thought it was interesting and I can actually figure out 70% of what they try to do which on paper makes sense yet rarely works out profitably. Here it is, they are getting ready for the mkts to open and since the euro is going to go in direct corrolation to the US EQUITIES MARKETS, , J.J., in the room is looking for 2 or more corrolating markets that are both over or undersold so when one starts moving he can then get on board the next mkt with more confidence, Problem is that he makes himself appear right som often but it is a 1/4 pt here, a 1/2 pt here and few traders can trade and follow 5 markets and then on different time frames for entries like JJ does. Bottom line was after 1 week I saw no profits coming out of the room and they do crude, gold, es,naz, dax and more. It was an interesting way to kill some time but lord no, would I pay this man, no way! Always ask, why would someone sell you the way they developed to get rich? Persoanlly there is this es day trading academy that seems to be the real deal and they give you a one week course with private instruction and then load 5000 chart patterns for you to go over ansd over as they use no indicators at all. I was considering getting 5 guys to put up a grand each and buy his 5k course so if we lose its not a major thing. His site is :daytradingcourse.com and I looked all oveer the Internet for months and cant find a bad thing on this guy. Very good sign. Imagine if we can get 5 guys working on that together, he give splenty of study materials and its broken down to just repitition. Site is interesting as well. Not a lot of smoke and mirrorsd. I spoke to one of the lady asst's there who was very cordial. I suspect these guys feel the way I di in my recent posts in that trading alone stinks after a while and you need company around you. Period!

pipe dream

if you want to day trade ,they will be of no help. there 5000.00 course will teach you how to draw trend lines. some candle stick patterns,chart patterns, how to use laging indactors,what moving averages are,ect. dont waste your money. the facts are it will cost a lot more than 5000.00 and take a lot longer than there one week b.s. class to learn. after you spend the 5000.00 and a week of your time they will brake the truth to you.it will cost 30,000+ and take two or more years if you work hard. find a pro trader that realy trades every day for a living to teach you.99% of the training and trading software will not get it done.

From a very concerned student

I am an OTA (Online Trading academy) student. I have been for a while.

I find it very concerning that there is no ‘open forum’ on the OTA website where students can openly communicate with each other / start blogs / discussion threads etc.

Other Trading education organisations have this facility of allowing members to freely communicate/ discuss trades/ set-ups and the ‘picks’ that are called. But not OTA. WHY ?

I also find is VERY CONCERNING INDEED that when completing the online tutoring (XLT) survey every month that the percentage of students trading successfully is tiny. There is obviously something very wrong.

Considering the boast of OTA that it’s the biggest and the best and that they have had many thousands of students attend their courses across the world (paying top dollar prices) I would have thought that they would have produced at least HUNDREDS of successful traders over the years – wouldn’t anyone think that?

Could OTA please prove this ?

I would very much like to be proven wrong with my doubts about OTA.

Excellent, in my opinion the best trading education you can get with superb support and aftercare

Have been trying my hand at trading for several years, blew out my account twice 10 years ago, then I finally joined OTA to get professional education and coaching. Having wnet through courses initially and wasted a lot of money on learning indicators instead of market beahviour, OTA has changed atht and I am finally progressing, albeit slowly due to extremely limited time. Ota is not only for teh beginner, but even teh professional can benefit from them and their aftercare in particular through the Extended Learning Track program is absolutely outstanding.

Highly recommended particularly if your strucggling, it is worth every dollar of teh cost

OTA

A very focussed training delivery company. Learning to trade in a mechanical sense is easy, developing a realistic plan and following that plan is hard. What all grads of the OTA programme have is weekly access to an instructor, weekly forecasts from a panel of instructors and also email support from an instructor. If the information has been too over the head on the first course there is always an option to retake the course at any of the centres in the world. Free of tuition fees. The XLT programme is amazing, it is practically a trading floor and the pro pick service is free money provided the individual is prepared to apply what they have learned.

Some people are never going to learn how to trade as long as they have a hole in their arse, this also applies to some OTA grads so there is no guarantee that this is a path to massive riches. What it does deliver is a structured education programme and the most important part is the chance to live trade in a classroom environment (not a hotel) for about 4 days under the advice of a coach. This is what marks the difference between the training programmes. Of all of them, OTA is Tops, It teaches students how to trade, it teaches the pitfalls, it teaches a range of strategies, it teaches trade planning and risk management. The aftercare is unparalleled and I would love to be challenged on this.
