Rated 5 out of 5 stars

amazing team! too notch experience! highly recommended!

I just wanted to take the time to congratulate OTA. My experience with OTA from my first contact onwards has been top notch. ALL of the team transmits two crucial things: 1) Trust and Confidence (you know what you talk about) 2) Passion (you care deeply about what you are doing). I mean this for every single member of OTA I have had the opportunity to have had some sort of encounter with.

OTA Houston team is amazing!

Once you get to be my age and have been through all the stuff I have been through in my career its really hard and extremely rare to really get excited about something. I am confident that this experience will be life changing for me. There will be a before and after. Thats what OTA has planted.

Looking forward to my intense class schedule in April and already learning and simulating with the online material (really complete, easy to understand and extensive).

Is Online Trading Academy worth it?

My name is Adam,
I want to share my experience with anyone thinking of joining the Trading Academy. I took an asset class a few years ago. I felt from the beginning that is was a good system. And over the last few years I have had up times and down times in my trading. What I struggle with is being dedicated and doing the same thing over and over. Following the rules. I have done the system and seen it work. But I would constantly pick and choose which rules to follow. I also struggled with setting up a trading plan in a way that was simple and easy to do every time. The thing about the Academy is the team that works there. Recently I called in asking for help. I was invited to sit in on a Meet the Instructor session. Scott Stokes is one of the instructors that I have found I relate to in my personality. He was willing to see me early, one on one, and talk about what it was that I could do to be consistent and succeed. He cares so much and wants to help. He is just one though. Kevin Green, is a main man there. He greeted me warmly, like family. There was tech issue he was working through, and I made the comment, "That was more important". He looked at me and said, "I was as important as getting ready for the class. Mary Beth runs the Houston location, and is always there to talk, help, and makes sure we all have what we need. Jeff is my counselor, and Perry is one of the Tech guys. Both are eager to help. All have helped, and that makes you feel at home. I haven't mentioned everyone and wish I could. The point is, I have been cared for, and treated as family, from day one to now. The school is for life, and continued learning. I am just as important today, as the day I signed up. That means a lot! My only advise to you, follow the rules, and get your plan in a format you can work, and do it from day one. And Yes, it is worth it!

Thank you to all at OTA Houston!
