2009 Class Testimonials

“This class has greatly influence the way that I trade and will trade. The techniques are very useful. Sal has a real nice easy going way about him.”

Gerard Reilly

“I think the Pro Trader I course is a must for anyone who wants to trade the market. Without this course you are trading blind or are forced to learn everything piecemeal which is very time consuming but doable. The best thing about a live course is the ability to ask questions and discuss your trading ideas. I think Dr. Stimmel is a very competant instructor who delivers the material in a way in which anyone can understand. The fact that he sat in a student seat once allows him to be very approachable. As far as the Academy as a whole, it has an educational feel and the staff doesn't try to sell it's services. It's solely up to the student whether one would like to invest in oneself.”

Salvatore Palombizio

“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 Kram

“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 Lee

“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 Hruby

“Doctor 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 Doctor 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 Rahman

Daniel Fellus

“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. Dr 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!”

I recommend this stock trading class to all who wish to get started in trading or to improve their trading skills. instructor is friendly and takes an interest in students' situations. create a good atmosphere for learning. addresses each students questions adequately and shares knowledge with entire class. I like the fact that he is able to share his personal trading experiences.”

Rebeca Chan

“Dr. Stimmel made a difference between just coming to a trading course and just follow the book or enjoy every minute of the course took by the hand of an excellent communicator and teacher and professional like Dr. Lou did with all of us. Congratulations!!!!”

Horacio Luksenberg

“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 Ibrahim

“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 Behrend

“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. Dr. Lou is awesome! So far so god not 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 Ortiz

“Online Trading Academy's unique feature to repeat the course for free is great. Instructor Salvatore Giamerese 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.

“"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 Wright's delivery and knowledge. Would recommend course to anyone."”

Deborah C.

“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.

“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.

“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 new immediately I was trying to re-invent the wheel. That is when I new 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.

Stephen A., August 2008

“I will be returning to Online Trading Academy for more.”

Slava K., August 2008

“The class taught me a lot about trading that I did not have any background in. I liked all the suggestions that I received from the students who have more experience than me. I really think that learning from a teacher who has real valuable life and work experience in trading is what made paying the tuition worth it.”

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 Ponsi did.”

Gary S., July 2008

Belinda F., April 2008

I found Online Trading Academy to be one of the most informed and informative. I would recommend the course to any one who asked me about it, and would definately recommend Sal as an instructor.”

Nery R., April 2008

Margaret L., April 2008

“Best investment I have ever made, so far! The sky is no longer the limit!”

David M., May 2008

“The class covers the basics, then accelerates quickly so you get good value for your money. Online Trading Academy is great because they give you knowledge and traning 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 came here thinking I knew a lot about stock investing. My wife always told me, you should take this class because you are so knowledgable & this is an apportunity to hone your skills. After only three days I realized that I knew very little & there was so much more to learn & understand. I am very anxious to put this information to the "real test". thank you.”

Steve R., March 2008

“Ive taken classes before about trading and other things, however if I had to rate which one is the best I'll have to reccomend Online Trading Academy, met all my expectations and more...”

Gelmer I., March 2008

“Highly recommended! I read a lot of books and learned a lot about technical analysis and chart-reading and had been trading for almost a year but I never realized how important it is to have the proper education to teach me how to utilize these tools properly.”

Susan D., 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 learing about the markets and how to mangage 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 trdeing.I feel very confortable with what I've learned here, as long as I apply it im sure i will be successful. Thank you Merlin & Online Trading Academy.”

George A., February 2008

Scott B., April 2007

“Excellent and outstanding learning experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to get an edge in the business of trading and how the markets functions -”

Kanti R. P., April 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 came with a very open mind, no knowledge as far as trading in the Forex Market and I can say that this class was a win/win situation. The dynamic was just perfect, so was the speed. I'm looking forward to polishing my skills and keeping on learning. Thanks a lot Online Trading Academy.”

Ulises S., March 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 would strongly urge anyone interested in improving their trading skills to immediately enroll. My only regret is that I didn't know about Online Trading Academy earlier. I have now taken the FOREX and Pro Trader classes, and the point I would like to pass on is this: Each successive class gets better!!!!!!!”

George C., January 2007

“This has been a fabulous experience and I am looking forward to applying everything we have been learning. My experience previous to this course has left me frustrated, bordering on disillusionment with trading and the markets in general. Only time will prove if I can really apply all that we have learned, but after this, I really feel I have a chance to be successful. The course really highlights all the mistakes and struggles I have had in the past, and showed me that success is possible if I can discipline myself.”

Steve G., January 2007

2006 Class Testimonials

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

“I learned more at Online Trading Academy in 7 days, than I learned in the past 2.5 years from my readings and other classes (and those classes cost MUCH more than I paid for this class). I learned how the markets work, how and why, which I totally believe will help me become a successful trader. I am grateful for this wonderful class!”

Barbara B., October 2006

“This is my second time coming to the class, one of the many benefits of Online Trading Academy, being able to come back as often as you feel necessary. I just came back for a refresher course and ended up learning even more, getting a different instructor's point of view is a plus. I decided as part of my long term trading plan that I will come back once a year for a refresher. I really can't say enough about Online Trading Academy. The employees here will bend over backwards for you and help you in anyway they can. If you're reading this online or anywhere else you must be thinking about trading and taking the right step by getting educated. Online Trading Academy is the right step for this education. You will not be sorry. It is truly an investment you will have with you for the rest of your life.”

Maura 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. The Online Trading Academy focus on the 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

“Every person who wants to trade should take this course, it will show you the way it has to be done, not ifs or buts.”

Rubiel L., 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.”
