I recently attended the three day training course and regret wasting my time. I expected to walk away with at least some actionable information but unfortunately the three day course was set up to scare you into buying one of their courses.I was pulled out of the class room by one of the instructors who attempted to sell me a 20k dollar package. When I shared that I needed time to think on it he became aggressive and asked why I even wasted my time coming. Some of the females that work there came up to me during breaks and would attempt to start conversations in suggestive ways. It was all in order to convince me to purchase one of their overpriced packages.If they are truly concerned about helping people. Why are their packages so expensive and what are these thousands of dollars going to support ?I think they should be clear upfront that their three day program is just to persuade students into spending thousands on courses that have no real guarantee of success. Their three day training is $200 dollars and after the “training” I feel like I wasted my money and my time. I didn’t go back the third after being pressured into spending even more and then insulted when I didn’t respond like they wanted. I don’t recommend this program to anyone.
Expensive and not worth it, $60,000.00.I have a strong I.T. background and noticed you cant look at there reviews immediately, you only see an add for their school. Their SEO routes you straight to their ad>website. That usually happens when a company is trying to hide something and theyre not be transparent about something.So I did my own research:* They have been sued by students and FTC.*Have several complaints 1* star reviews on different platforms but not on Google- Review manipulation-Caution!*** BBB- HAS ALL THEIR HONEST REVIEWS.
(CONTINUED REVIEW FROM PRISCILA JANER)During the 3 day class I also got to meet more of the people who worked here and some students that have attended the classes and decided to continue with their journey at OTA. So, me being me, I’m very social and spoke with everyone. I heard nothing but great things about the courses and instructors. On the last day of the 3 day class I decided to buy the mastermind package which is the highest package you can get. Now again I was aware of the pricing before I even attended the 3 day class, so it was not a shock to me at all. If you’re anything like me, and really want to invest your time into these courses… Mastermind is definitely a great option! Even if you decide to upgrade later on! Once I signed up I was able to schedule my core strategies class and futures class. Also had access to My OTA online to do a lot of reviews before my courses. My first class I took was core strategies which will always be mandatory to take before you can take any other classes. Core strategies are one week long. 3 days out of the 7 days they provided lunch and if they didn’t provide us lunch we had an option to go to one of the many restaurants in vintage park for an hour. Core strategies is taught by Tom Joyce. He does an amazing job teaching the class but also makes it super fun. We spend half the time laughing and learning about the fundamentals and in trading. I then took the futures class with Brock. Which was definitely an amazing class and truly made me have a better understanding of how to implement the core strategies with the futures market. Got more into depth about what the futures market is how he recommends to trade. And you’ll hear Kevin Green talk about the “American sniper” and it’s a perfect representation of Brock.He attended as a student before becoming an instructor like a lot of the other instructors and employees at OTA. So they know just how it is to experience as a student before becoming an instructor. Brock also teaches a lot of the XLT futures classes online which I love to attend. I started attending the XLTS after I completed my core strategies and futures class. It was a lot more fast paced but as time went by I started to catch along with the pace. Monday-Friday there are plenty of different classes to attend to on the MY OTA portal. Also a place to track trades, look at reference cards, slide shows, recordings of previous classes if maybe you missed it that day to watch over. Also they offer the core strategies or other classes such as the futures class online if you can’t make it in person. I of course enjoyed the in person much more because it was more personable and I could really keep my attention in person. I am now attending my 1st retake class for core strategies and hopefully will be taking my first retake class for futures in 2 weeks. Retaking these classes are a lot smoother than the first time around since it’s so much information to obtain. You may feel like you’re drowning in so much information but toward the end of the week the light bulb finally kicks in. I would say retakes are essential in your journey! Really gives you a better understanding of things you may have missed in the first class. Now I will end on this note since I’ve written a novel here lol. If you are truly serious about changing your life around, jump into this course with no regrets.This is an investment and treat it as such. It will be the best thing you’ve ever done. Thank you for taking the time to read my review if you made it this far!God bless.
Since I can’t post my entire review at once. I will do it into 2 PARTS!I am here to give a fully detailed review on the 3 day class, full core strategies in person class and futures in person class! I want to begin by talking about the 3 day class I attended with Kevin green. Kevin was such an amazing instructor and opens your eyes to a lot of different things in the market or even world views. He is a blessing in disguise, and is here to help us grow and help you with your experience. His teaching methods are amazing and the only thing I can say is I wish he could have been one of my instructors haha! I only got 3 days with him but it was a blast. He makes the class fun, efficient and such an amazing learning experience. He also makes you feel super confident and excited for this new journey you’re about to take on if you decide to take the next steps!It is definitely A LOT of information within the 3 days… so get ready to have your brain fried! But definitely worth it! If you decide to continue your steps with the academy just know that everyone here at OTA is super welcoming and excited to help in any way possible! Just know YOU ARE NEVER ALONE HERE! And they will make it known. From the owner, MaryBeth, to Ed and everyone in the OTA community. The location is gorgeous and they offer food, snacks and drinks to make you feel just at home! Everyone here is a family and makes it easier to feel right at home! I’ve seen good and bad reviews here. And I will be completely honest from start to finish. When I first entered the 3 day class with Kevin I was a bit skeptical and hesitant about continuing my journey here due to all the reviews stating “this was a scam”. But I’m glad I took a chance and trusted my gut. Because it is the complete opposite of a scam. This is just like anything else in life… it is how much effort you put into it. How bad do you want it? How bad do you want to succeed in this? Because this definitely isn’t easy. It takes hard work, dedication, determination and a lot of patience! For me patience doesn’t come easy for me! But this is a skill that develops over time. Keep an open mind when coming to any of these classes. If it’s for the orientation with Ed, MRT with Kevin Green, core strategy, with Tom Joyce or even the futures class with Brock! Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t get it right away… but guess what!! This course allows you to retake classes multiple times…. WHICH I LOVE! We are all human and we tend to forget things and of course markets and situations change… so it’s always great to have a refresher. I will start by talking about each class individually and how I found OTA. I, like most of us, just searched it online or heard about the free class and decided to check it out. I knew nothing in life was free so came in with an open mind to check out the class and see what it was all about. Ed was the teacher who taught the free class. They provided lunch and refreshments. He explained what markets are out there and what options we have moving forward. I then paid $199 to attend the 3 day class with Kevin Green, where he explained more in detail about each market and the whole purpose of the 3 day class is to really understand and feel out which market you want to really engage and start trading in. Also gives us eye openers on how some of us handle our money before attending these classes. Before attending the 3 day class, MRT, I had Delani call ahead and explain the course options, time frame of each class and price points for every package they had available. Also asked me what my “why” is, Why was I even interested in the first place? He really dug deep and connected with me on a personal level to figure out what was the best option for me. He explained every package available and explained the prices for each. Also gave his honest opinion on what he thought would work best with me and my situation. So I definitely was not blinded or “set up” when I attended the 3 day class. I knew exactly what was available before I even decided to step foot in their building for the 3 day class.
I believe in being fair so I gave one extra star for the tasty snacks. I attended the three-day course offered by the Online Trading Academy. On the second day, the instructors presented a high-pressure sales pitch. Once they realized I was not willing to invest $20,000 in their program, they asked me not to return for the remainder of the course and assured me a refund but I never got it, well I also never checked so who knows. The information they offer is readily available for free online. Save your $20,000 and utilize YouTube instead.The introductory class and the three-day seminar primarily serve to sell you an unrealistic dream. Most of the positive reviews are fabricated, often written by employees or incentivized students. A glance at Yelp reveals over 30 not recommended reviews that closely mirror the overly positive feedback found on Google.This program is not a scam per se, but it is a significant waste of money, akin to purchasing a timeshare. The initial appeal soon gives way to regret. You might convince yourself that with focus and discipline, the program will yield results—this is a misconception. Many dedicated individuals have invested heavily, only to be disappointed.Heed the negative reviews; they reflect genuine experiences of those who have given their all. Trust me, you do not want to later regret ignoring this warning. There is no magical strategy for trading. The staff are employed to sell a dream, not because they have unlocked a secret to wealth. True successful traders are not confined to classrooms, especially not during weekends. If they truly had the means to make money from anywhere in the world, why would they spend their summer teaching in Houston, TX? Trust your common sense and save your money.
My husband and I attended the free 4 hour class with instructor Ed. He provided some valuable information for newbies to the game when it comes to understanding the markets. Ed and that class is the only reason I gave it 1 star. We signed up for 3 day Market Timing Orientation for the price of 1. $200 for me and my husband to attend, for 3 days where we will recieve free food and more good information, so I thought. The 3 day Market Timing Orientation was the same information provided in 4 hours by Ed. The instructor for the 3 day class (Kevin Green) was condesending and rude to participants who dared to ask questions or challenge information. He spoke on experience that seemed grandiose and flat out lies. Furthermore, Kevin was completely out of touch with the diverse population of participants in regards to age and ethnicity. During the 3 day orientation you are to meet with your enrollment specialist, and our enrollment specialist provided pricing information on a blank sheet of paper where he proceeded to draw a diagram like a pyramid scheme salesman. There still were not any prices on the diagram, not a number in sight. In that moment my husband was completely checked out and over it. So was I. We never intended to move forward with full blown student membership after the 3 Day workshop because we knew it would be ridiculous pricing, and we could continue to learn on our own like we were doing. However, the ambiguity of pricing, and lack of further information screamed I JUST WANT YOUR MONEY and SCAM. Needless to say, we did not return for day 2 and 3. Not worth anything past FREE.
The core stragedy course was amazing! So many things that I learned that was so beneficial to my trading experience. Tom Joyce was very informative and tweaked my skills in ways I couldnt do myself. Thank you OTA! Happy to be part of the family!
Thank you Online Trading Academy Houston. As a beginner for stock trading, I just completed three courses offered by OTA Houston, two with Kevin Green and another with Eric Ochotnicki. I am so impressed with the quality of the instructors and the professionalism of the supporting team. I had a wonderful experience throughout all my classes. I really enjoy Kevin’s class; he is one of the best of the best instructors I have ever met. Also, I really appreciate our Student Support Specialist Ed Huggans. As a former OTA student, he is not only very knowledgeable but also knows what the difficulty the new students have. He gives us tremendous help. I look forward to applying what I learned from the classes to my trading practice and look forward to learning more and more from OTA Houston.
As an Independent Instructor who has taught in over 25+ Online Trading Academy locations, the Houston Center is right at the top of the list in every category. The facility itself is magnificent. No detail has been spared in making the student experience both rich and rewarding. The classrooms are equipped with the latest cutting edge technology and the team they have assembled there is second to none. Everything is done with the students best interests at heart with their number one goal being the success of each and every person. Houston OTA is awesome!
The training I have received at OTA Houston, is beyond Exceptional. What I have learned in just 4 months would have taken me years to learn on my own. The Instructors share their years of experience, the student advisers are always ready to help and answer your questions. You are assigned a Counselor, that helps guide you through the process. The whole staff is Exceptional. OTA Houston, provides you with every resource to make sure you have everything you need to learn and succeed. I am so Grateful that I found Online Trading Academy.
Online Trading Academy truly lives up to its reputation. The facility is first class, the people are friendly and welcoming, and youll get the opportunity to learn even more than you thought you needed to. Every time I have the opportunity to take another another class at OTA I am reminded how really great the people there really are. One thing that sets this organization apart from others, is the truly caring people that look out for your best interest and help to insure your success.
I have been associated with OTA Houston for several years, and continue to consider myself fortunate to have become part of the family. Im convinced that it offers the best value for the money of any trade training organization anywhere. Ive taken advantage of the free course retakes, and just completed a full weeks course retake last week. The quality of instruction, and the care and concern that the OTA Houston staff provide in helping students reach their goals are superb! Im totally happy with OTA Houston, and highly recommend it for anyone who really wants to learn about trading.
The Online Trading Academy in Houston was one of the best trading classes I have ever taken. I didnt know what to expect and I must say it exceeded my expectations. It is quick; however, they offer online support and they follow up with you because your success is their success. This was the best investment in my future. You must be willing to learn and have an open mind and the knowledge will come easy to you. The facilitators and support staff were great.
I had the most incredible experience at OTA Houston. Excelent Stock Market Trading Education specially if you dont have experience on the stock market. The instructors are very experienced traders and in class they make sure you get it! Strong student support- you guys are awesome!!! The facility is always clean and accessible to all students, lunch is provided in specific days, the computer system and platform is up-to-date with stock market technology, as a student I can retake classes as many times as need. Very happy to be part of My OTA community!!*****
I am a teacher by degree and a consultant by training and career, and Kevin Green, General Manager and Senior Instructor at OTA Houston is the BEST instructor I have ever experienced! You WILL understand everything Kevin teaches you, even if a novice to the financial and trading world. Owner and President of OTA Houston, Mary Beth Motisi spoils students with an instructional facility and amenities that are top notch, making it a treat to travel to the center on on-site class days, and the instructional materials you leave with for reference are of highest quality. The OTA Houston staff has even customized digital tools and workspaces in ways that surpass the resources at other OTA centers. Ed Huggans and Perry Yee, OTA Houston Student Support Specialists, are helpful facilitators during class and ready to answer any question in or out of class, even remoting in to assist with technical installation of custom trading workspaces and documents when you are home. Never thought I would be this excited and committed to new learning in my retirement! I signed up for the Mastermind Community because I want to learn it all!
It was great experience to join OTA Houston.Also It tought me to take low risk trading. Especially i did like Instructor Mr. Gabe. best instructor, very experienced and a great teacher. I also like to say Mr. ED and Mr. Rick from OTA Houston are very helpful ,always available to help and support students. I could not forget Mr. Kevin. a wonderful person and a good instructor. overall every person in OTA Houston were very helpful through out our class. i rate them 5 star. Thanks.
So far Ive taken Pro Trader and Futures courses and I plan on taking more! The experience and knowledge of the staff at OTA is second to none. They go above and beyond normal education and customer service for the product they offer. They have created a family atmosphere and I truly believe they care about what happens to me after my time spent in Houston. How do I know? Since my Futures class ended 2 weeks ago, Ive gotten calls and emails about my progress and offers of assistance almost daily. They reminded me of all of the materials I have access to via their website and they always reassure me that they are available when I need.I can say with confidence that I am fully prepared to take my career into my own hands going forward, but that this journey will not be taken alone.
OTA Houston has a very good atmosphere for learning. This place is not only clean and nice but also has quality equipment for learning. Staffs are very supportive and courteous. Definitely recommend OTA Houston to those who are want to learn to trade! Thanks to Kevin, Mary, Greg, Ed, Perry and the rest of the team.
“Online Trading Academy of Houston is the best experience ever. Mary Beth and Kevin and their staff were absolutely wonderful. Though the 7 days of school was intense...at the end of it, I had full confidence to go home and do it myself. And I have used what they taught me. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to use their expertise. The things you learn and the knowledge they shared is priceless.
Online Trading Academy (OTA) is probably the equivalent of a Masters Degree. What you learn is amazing. The curriculum is fast paced and you are introduced to many new topics during the course of each class. Every instructor I have met or spent time with has been top notch. They do what they are teaching. The staff has a wonderful attitude and they are all very professional. If you have a question they will get an answer. If you are struggling with a concept, they will work with you until you master it. This is the best education you will find for people who want to trade professionally. I give Kevin Green, manager and instructor, a high five. His background and experience exceeded my expectations. His ability to get information across is outstanding. My education counselor Rick is also very knowledgeable. He also has an in depth background that students will benefit from. If you are serious about starting a trading business, this is the only place you should go. I look forward to continuing my education and my relationships with the trading community created by OTA - Houston.
First,when I looked at any chart on TV or anywhere else.it was like how can I understand that. But after attending the free class of the online Trading academy (OTA Houston) i said to to my self I can invest and have a financial freedom.Today Im a proud futures graduate. From the education counselors to the instructors,everyone is nice and always there to assist. Thanks to everyone at OTA Houston.I recommend everyone who wants to learn how to trade to join the community.
Online Trading Academy Houston provides some of the best education experiences and support. The staff sincerely care about your needs and success. I truly felt supported and cared for by all the staff. The facility is also beautiful. The equipment is top notch and the instructors are the best of the best. I am truly greatful for the experience and knowledge gained.
I have been very satisfied with my experience at Online Trading Academy. The staff is very friendly, professional and supportive. The instructors are very knowledgeable and great communicators, extremely patient in explaining trading concepts that are new to inexperienced students like myself and are themselves successful traders in the financial markets. I feel that everyone I have met within the organization is genuinely interested in helping each student succeed. I would highly recommend checking out Online Trading Academy to anyone having an interest in learning how to earn income and build wealth from skillfully trading in the financial markets and managing their own money.
I had the opportunity to teach the recent Options class at the Online Trading Academy Houston center and it was amazing. The Center is fantastic very welcoming and the staff was professional and focused on their students success. I was extremely impressed by the students knowledge and passionate for success. I look forward to teaching in Houston as often as I can!!
Hi, I would like to say that this OTA team Houston is truly first class in everything they do and very professional in the way they teach.

If you want to succeed in learning how to trade, I highly recommend Online Trading Academy.To the entire team at OTA. Keep up what you are doing and thanks for what your are doing in my life and the lives of those I have meet through this school.Thanks
The Online Trading Academy in Houston is a unique resource for anyone interested in investing. The curriculum include courses that address every aspect of trading. The instructors have experience from the trading floors, and consequently an intimate understanding of the subjects they are teaching. The facilities in Houston are excellent. The OTA personnel make everyone feel welcome, and are always willing to help if you need assistance or have questions. The educational tools are easy to read and understand. Simulated trading provide a good feel of what it is all about. You can receive assistance and recommendations in everything from setting up computer systems to filing your taxes. Due to the enthusiasm, knowledge, passion and skills demonstrated by the Houston OTA staff, I am confident that every student associated with the Academy have the opportunity to become successful traders.
I have worked in Corp America for the past 40 years. I have taken extensive training courses in Business, Finance and Manufacturing, among others. OTA training curriculum, staff, facilities and customer care are among the very top that I have experienced over my career. The owner, staff and instructors greet you daily as a part of their extended family. The atmosphere is very professional, friendly and very successful trader and income generator. I have experienced both a very courteous. I have read many books on stock and futures trading, with little results to show. I have attended 5 classes and for the first time, I feel confident that I can be a dynamic classroom setting and live trading environment. I feel for the first time, I am in complete control of my retirement income and wealth building potentials. Thanks OTA, for all you have done, for your insight, practical trading experience and continued future support.
I have been searching for a place to support my efforts to become a professional trader and finally found OTA. It is a very organized environment, with a step by step methodology, great instructors and support teams. The amount of online information available is huge and very supportive to our learning path. Looking forward to go through all necessary training and become part of the family, as a successful trader.
The Trading Academy team take their mission seriously -- giving their students the tools and knowledge to manage our financial futures and increase returns. Yes, it is a lot of information given fast, but the on-line resources, video library and community access make me feel that I am getting good value for the money invested. Stuff I never heard about in lots of years at university --OTA is a tech school for trading the markets.Ed Huggans & the support staff have responded immediately to requests for configuration & clarifications. Thanks again to Mary Beth, Kevin, Jon, & the experienced instructors I had the privilege of studying with.
When I first heard of the Online Trading Academy I was somewhat skeptical. I am not skeptical now! My experience and training at Online Trading Academy has been excellent. The entire staff is friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. I learned more about the stock market and trading in the Core Strategies Class than I had in all of my prior stock trading experience combined. In addition, the entire staff and online instruction is available to assist me in the future. I am truly excited about my future in stock trading and I believe my education with the OTA is a life-changing event. I highly recommend OTA to anyone that wants to succeed in trading in the stock market.
The Houston OTA is a great place to learn. Very nice clean atmosphere, very helpful staff and a great faculty. Had a great introduction to a new type of life. The people we interacted daily with were just very nice people - Kevin, Rick, ED, Marcia, Perry... all were very friendly giving individuals. Looking forward to my next session for Forex. Thanks all. Anand.
I learned a lot from my recent options trader class at Online Trading Academy. The instructor (Steve Moses) took a very simplified approach to teaching options. Since taking the class last week, I have taken two of the Pro Pick trades recommended by this instructor (NFLX and CMG) for profit. All of the staff and instructors at Online Trading Academy are very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. The training they provide is hands-on using state-of-the-art equipment. They want their students to succeed. Ive thoroughly enjoyed the multiple classes that I have taken at the Houston OTA.
Options class with Steve Moses was valuable to me as a beginning trader. He made options easily understood by his keep-it-simple teaching style. Also, repeating the basic rules helped me to remember what I should be doing on the trading platform. I am confident that I will be successful at trading options after learning from Steve. OTA has helped me to gain understanding of the markets and why I should be buying and selling assets at certain prices. I am very glad I became an OTA student.
When I first walked into Online Trading Academy I was SO Skeptical not knowing anything about trading.The staff was so professional and welcoming which let my guard down.When I went thru the first course I was impressed to see how this facility was ran in a first class environment.I was inspired seeing first hand the difference the staff and instructors made on students that can better understand the philosophy and how it is put into practice.I am honored in being part of this organization.Thank You So Much for recruiting the Best Instructors for the Houston Academy.
OTA Houston is a state of the art teaching facility in Assets Class Trading and overall Investing Education. Your learning from the folks that have been on the trading floors in New York and Chicago. Whether you require a little extra attention to understand or catch on quick or somewhere in between you will find this facilities owners, teachers and coaches to genuinely be concerned you understand the material and are successful. When you succeed, they succeed. If your interested in being on the winning side of your trades 3:1 then call the center and talk to a trading coach.Ill see you at the Alumni meeting.
Cant say enough about the staff and educational services at the OTA Houston location. OTA has helped me understand the pitfalls of previous investment decisions and has dramatically impacted my financial security as a result. The staff and instructors based in Houston are top notch. Houston is very blessed to have such a strong investment community to continue to educate OTA grads.
I considered myself a rooky trader when I came to Online Trading Academy (OTA). Although I was doing well in the financial market at the time, it was a consistent up market at that time and I did not want to rely on the proverbial “being in the right place at the right time” LUCK. In my business world I have always surrounded myself with people that are more knowledgeable in their skill set than I am. So, the question comes, “why would I approach trading any different than any other financial or business endeavor”? Hence began the search for someone with the knowledge, experience and skill.And after considerable due diligence I started my journey with OTA with cautious optimism. As my journey with OTA began to unfold the silver lining in the people, processes and potential of OTA became clearly evident.My experience to date at OTA has been excellent. The entire staff is friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. And they are there for continued support as my learning experience continues. I learned valuable lessons in the Core Strategies Class that are straight forward and based on a simple set of rules. I am excited about my future in trading and I believe my education with OTA will take me from a novice trader / gambler to an educated trader with better and more consistent results. I highly recommend OTA to anyone that wants to succeed in trading with processes that remove the magic and emotion from trades and replace with a solid rules-based system.
Online Trading Academy of Houston has exceeding my expectations. The entire team at OTA Houston are dedicated to providing the knowledge, education and support to help make you a successful trader and investor. Their methodology and access to experienced professionals offers the type of insight and rules based disciplined that is necessary to build a sustainable personal trading and investing strategy. With each and every class that I take I am increasing my understanding, growing in confidence and improving my skills on the trading platform all the while knowing that I have a team of professionals supporting my success and the added value of access to a wealth of online tools and support personnel.
Online Trading Academy is a world-class operation well worth the investment in yourself. I would highly recommend anyone interested in taking their trading and investing skills to a higher level (out of the realm of guesswork and into a refined, rules-based system), then OTA is the place for you.The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They work well together as a team and always try to provide a great experience to the students. Parking is adequate, the building is clean and modern. The upgraded kitchen area is a plus since long spans of time are spent onsite and it gives a home away from home feel.The program content exceeded my expectations and answered several long-standing questions Ive had in my trading career over the last 3 years doing it alone.
I just completed the Professional Futures Trader Course at Houston Online Trading Academy and once again was impressed with the excellent facility, equipment, teachers and support.The instructor Dan Sugar did a great job of reinforcing the core strategy and showing how trend lines can be applied to enhance results.I look forward to adding Futures Trading to my investment & trading activities. I had very little knowledge of these markets before the class, but believe that Futures will likely become the market that I will trade the most.I enjoyed this class and learned a lot.
I think Online Trading Academy is a fantastic organization. I am a foreigner to this country and I wanted to start a self career in stock trading with a successful company after training. This Academy is very thorough and teaches the best techniques to advance your career in the field. I was very impressed with the program and would highly recommend them to other potential students.I was especially impressed with the instructors; Kevin Green (the legend of OTA), Jon Arginteanu, Gabe Velazquez, and my education counsel Rick Kuhnert.All people involved with the group are very warm and receptive. I really appreciate the training and I am looking forward to continue my education with OTA.
Online Trading Academy in Houston is awesome! The education and the facility are top notch. The support from everyone is amazing. Their patience, their encouragement, and their genuine desire to help everyone succeed is incredible...Thank you OTA.
Mary Beth and Kevin, the owner and General Manager of OTA Houston are so dedicated and caring, its impossible to feel like anything other than family. Kevin Greens knowledge set as an instructor is as in depth as any expert anywhere on this planet and he does an exemplary job of communicating OTAs core strategy. The OTA team in Houston is stellar -- all focused on student success. I highly recommend a visit to this center!
Online Trading Academy Houston was a great experience for me. It gave me the confidence I needed to finally succeed in Day Trading. My mother once told me if you want to succeed at something surround yourself with the the best people in that field. That is exactly what you get at Online Trading Academy Houston, the best of the best. Thank you every one. Your the best
I am 64 years old, and I must say that the thought of becoming a trader had never entered my mind, and it is was only by word of mouth did I hear about Online Trading Academy. From the introduction classes to the completion of the futures trading path selected, I grade my experience as exceptional, any skepticism I held was eliminated, my attention, expectations and satisfaction were all highly met. The education I received was delivered by professionals who know their art. Without a doubt, the investment is worth every penny invested and I dont see why I should not succeed. I highly recommend Online Trading Academy to anyone that knows absolutely nothing about Wall Street trading, it will be your first best step towards a new career. Thank you very much OTA Staff, well done.
A MUST! I highly recommend this 3-day class. Rick, the instructor gave us a “WEALTH” of information that will make your jaw drop. This unbelievable information leaves you speechless on what the institutions do not want you to know. It highlights the different ways in helping you grow your money, because we are solely responsible for our wealth. Take this course to get back into the driver’s seat and control your financial freedom.Thank you, Rick, and to the entire staff for being friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much OTA for everything!
Scot Stokes is very knowledgeable instructor. He gave us his long experience worth of knowledge. He answered every question in a pleasant smooth way even when it was a repeat question. Then, Ed Huggans was delightful. He helped students during the trading sessions. He is a mastermind, very pleasant personality, and very knowledgeable, a real joy to interact with. Thanks to Marcia Burt my education counselor for being pleasant and setting up with proper course work
OTA Houston will put you on the way to success and support you until you reach it.The team at OTA is very nice and helpful. I do not regret my choice of coming here.I enroll in this class because I wanted to take control of my financial future.Marcia has been helpful since the beginning, she cares a lot about me and I appreciate that.
Online Trading Academy is a great place to come if you are looking to learn how to trade or manage your financial future. The staff is amazing. Everyone goes above and beyond helping you find the area that fits your needs. I am super excited about my upcoming classes at the end of July. I just finished my first level classes in June and the instructor was great. I love this place.
I was interested in trading so I decided to reach out to Online Trading Academy for guidance. Once I filled out my registration, a kind lady by the name of Jamie Slaughter was more than helpful. I was a little nervous being new and all but she informed me I’m not the only newcomer and made me feel comfortable enough to join orientation where I met the rest of the team. Good environment and highly recommend OTA.
I just cant say enough about all of the team at OTA Houston. Their commitment to their students success is really special. They provide a top notch facility for learning, and every member of the staff is friendly and eager to provide the ongoing support a student needs to succeed. Well done and many thanks!
My experience in the recent class Awesome. My instructor Tim Pesut was extremely knowledgeable and patient. He never failed to return to any information we didnt feel we understood. The overall atmosphere in the office from the staff was pleasant. It made coming to learn very enjoyable. Thank you very much for all your help. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to better themselves in being financially educated.
I am so impressed with OTA Houston. The team of instructors and support cast were so efficient and professional. Having the opportunity to receive instruction from Kevin Green and Craig Weil was a life changing experience. The support and guidance from Ed Huggans and Jason Reed was crucial in helping grasp all the information presented, and the additional tools and resources available through OTAs portal is amazing. This is a first class education program !
I hardly ever put any reviews online, but I feel compelled to write this review because I want to commend everyone who is involved in this wonderful operation of Online Trading Academy. This institution has opened up my eyes to this wonderful opportunity of trading. They have a wonderful learning curriculum and the way all the staff members are so eager and passionate about making sure that every student is taken care of, is absolutely amazing. Anyone that wants to learn the proper way of trading in the markets, this is the only institution I would recommend. I am very excited and happy to be a part of this academy. And very grateful for all the support.
Online Trading Academy of Houston is all about their students success. The whole team is dedicated to supplying their students with the best education, hand-on training, resources and continued support. From the owner, Mary Beth Motisi, to Kevin Green, their General Manager and Senior Instructor, to their Operation Team of Jan and Stacia to their Education Counselors of Jonathan, Eric, Rick and Marcia, to their extremely helpful Student Support Specialists of Ed and Jeff, they all go to great lengths in providing their students with the best experience possible.
OTA Houston is the best trading academy that will teach you the right method to be a consistent and profitable trader. This is your Trading Plan: Get the knowledge in OTA, prepare your trading rules, lots of study, keep records and discipline.The Houston OTA staffs are extremely helpful; and special many thanks to my instructor Craig Weil very knowledgeable and supportive anytime and student support specialist Ed Huggans. Great facility and tools in OTA Houston.
Online Trading Academy is the exception to the rule if something sounds to good to be true, then it probably isnt true. Everything about OTA is absolutely true. Over the last 23 years, I have earned 3 degrees and had broad exposure to financial markets. The financial education world is extremely difficult to navigate with disinformation, incomplete information, and complete waste of peoples time. Not OTA! You will not find a better dollar-for-dollar financial education in the world. The instructors are VERY successful traders and investors that, quite frankly, do not need our money. The combination of passion, compassion and behind the scenes knowledge simply cannot be found elsewhere. If you want to learn how financial markets truly work and take control of your future away from those who do not care, then I highly suggest becoming a part of this great school.
I have been associated with Online Trading Academy for over 10 years. Currently I am a member of the Mastermind Community which gives me access to many of the products and services provided by OTA. The programs taught here provides the student with a great background and starting point to help them control their financial destiny. The instructors are extremely personable and helpful to all students. I fully recommend OTA
Joining OTA Houston has been a great decision and positive step to improve opportunities for success in the market. The supportive staff’s patience and knowledge base is providing me with tools to build a solid financial future.
We belonged to another trading group who didnt offer near the education we are receiving at OTA. Kevins teaching of a very disciplined structure has given us renewed capabilities to trade in the various markets. The school presents a first-class business operation with Mary Beth at the helm.You are assigned an education counselor whos job is to coach us to our goals. Jason is our counselor & is always there to discuss philosophies. Its because of Kevins teaching & Jasons guidance that we are confident to trade in the market.I am now trading live & am experiencing roughly a 2:1 win/loss. I am working the income (near-term) side of the trading while my wife manages the wealth (long-term) side. OTA Tax has helped us set up our company & we anticipate running this full time in July, 2016.I am in my (very) early sixties while my wife (cannot mention). This is better than being where we saw ourselves two years ago.The best part of this is the fact that I have a dedicated team of new colleagues to discuss strategies, approaches, proper skill sets, etc.Thank you Mary Beth, Kevin, Ed, Jeff, Marcia for bringing me into the present & the future way of trading & taking care of us.
I would just say that before I joined Online Trading Academy, I was wandering aimlessly through the world of institutional investing, and now I am in control! There is no greater feeling than that of feeling confidently empowered to make my financial decisions and most importantly, trading!The center is absolutely fantastic. The instructors are very courteous, patient, experienced and proficient.I am looking forward to learning more!
Online Trading Academy has exceeded my expectation.I was very impressed with the School and its facility when I took 3 courses in Houston.The Instructors were very dedicated and very helpful,assisting in my learning the subject matters.In fact, they made sure we understood every topic before moving to the next one.My Counselor, Rick Kuhnert was also there for me.He was always very accessible and attentive to me at all times.Then there is Ms Mary Beth. She worked with me through financing which was a God sent.She is the best.I would not have been able to make it without her because financing was a problem for me.Ed Huggans,The Student Specialist has been a life saver for me.He is professional and very knowledgeable. He helped me with my Trading Plan and Rules,set up my Work space and Desktop and he is the person I will call when I need a second Opinion. I learn something new from him every time I call.He is very patient and I am very thankful to have met him.OTA curriculum addresses every aspect of trading and I am very satisfied with the Institution and the Program.
OTA Houston is the best place to be and it has the greatest staff ... keep up the good work guys!I enjoyed the Forex class very much. Tracy is an excellent instructor and helped me become more confident with the trading process.
First off, it is important to note that Online Trading Academy (OTA) Houston is a franchise of Online Trading Academy. This clarification is paramount because OTA Houston effectually operates as its own financial entity.The Houston staff is phenomenal! The team goes above and beyond the call of professional accommodation and treats you like a member of its family.I am a transfer student from another OTA location. As previously stated, these are franchises and have there own financial structures. Therefore, by taking me as a student, the Houston location had zero financial gain. Despite this fact, Marcia Burt (Educational Counselor) worked feverishly to ensure that I secured a spot in the Houston class. I will never forget Marcias efforts and care for my well being.During the class days, I had the opportunity to thank the Houston Franchise owner, Marybeth. As we were chatting, she said OTA is a family and that I was now a part of Houstons. The teams actions more than substantiated that touching statement.With regard to the content of Kevin Greens Futures trading class, the experience has significantly enhanced my trading. Kevin has an ability of conveying esoteric trading mechanics so that all traders (regardless of proficiency level) can understand. Class was not only intriguing, but also extremely fun.I loved my experience with OTA Houston and give my highest degree of praise and appreciation.
I have been a student of Online Trading Academy (OTA) since May of this year (2017). I cannot tell you how wonderful, patient and supportive I have found both the staff and instructors to be. I will straight up tell you, I have high expectations and can be a handful.... Being from the Midwest it is in my nature to tell you if Im unhappy, if I disagree with you, etc. so for me to post a stellar review is the exception than the rule ...I graduated from college with a criminal justice major (Bachelors) and Paralegal Certification (Masters Certification). In my 30s I raised my children (stay at home mom) and in my 40s I became a teacher... I have absolutely NO BACKGROUND IN FINANANCE, Business, etc. When I saw the process on how they teach us to trade in the 3 day class I was blown away cuz theres a specific step-by-step process that ANYONE can do.... I have continued to be impressed by the support provided. There are literally HUNDREDS of videos to watch to reinforce what youve been taught and then you can take advanced videos to expand your knowledge base. As a former math and special education teacher I can tell you that success comes from consistent practice and this is what makes OTA so amazing!For the few posts I have read where people were unhappy I am inclined to think they did not reach out to the staff and get the support that is available. I have called and been assisted with various tasks, such as uploading a trading platform, getting help on how to use worksheets, and what videos to watch before taking an upcoming class so I will be better able to understand the content. When I signed up I included my 15 year old who will be taking classes next summer and I have NO DOUBT he will do extremely well.... He is in school, he knows how to study, and the motivation to succeed is reinforced with the community provided by OTA, such as the mastermind group (this is an upgrade where regular/novice students, such as myself, have access to teachers and highly successful students wherein I can ask questions, read blogs on how others succeeded, get tips for trades, etc.).What I am impressed also with this company is that if you DONT upgrade to the mastermind level (and not everyone can afford it) when taking the classes, the teachers provide their email addresses to send them questions or get feedback on trades AND we are provided with information on which FREE WEBSITES outside of OTA we can use to assist us in evaluating assets/trades. Mastermind is not something that we students are told we need to purchase to be successful, it is just another resource the company offers for those of us who want to achieve the highest level possible.I could continue to go on and on and on but I think my point has been made. This is a company that cares about the success of its students, is constantly updating its software and worksheets, and has responded to my phone calls/questions.Definitely would give 10 stars if I could.Monica Maryland
A few weeks ago I returned to the Houston Campus to teach Wealth Management--- How to seek to achieve your retirement goals. This is my ninth year as an instructor and Houston is one of my favorite centers.Mary Beth and Kevin set a tone of total focus on assisting the students in developing their trading and investing skills. The Education Counselors -- Marcia, Rick, Jonathan, Gregory and TeAusha are always ready to help and Student Support leaders Ed and Perry make sure that the class experience is excellent for each student. Each time I come to Houston Jan Beattie and Stacia Yarbrough make sure everything move smoothly. You owe it to yourself to contact Online Trading Academy Houston and plan to visit and attend one of their orientation sessions. Take control of your investments, who cares about it more than you do!
The overall experience at OTA has been excellent.I love the center. It is located close to food, shopping, parking, and the personnel are some of the friendliest people I’ve met. Craig Weil is a great teacher for new and experienced traders and was very flexible with the class dynamic. It was clear he wanted to drive home the important messages and it benefited my learning greatly. Thanks!
The people at Online Trading Academy have a passion to help you learn the correct way to trade. They are extremely professional as well as very kind. Kevin Green is a very very knowledgeable teacher as well as Gabe Valesquez teaching us Futures. The classes are structured very well and all the employees are passionate about your learning the OTA way of trading online. I cant wait to continue my MasterMind classes and start a structured way of my future. Kudos OTA!
It doesnt matter if you are a novice or a pro, when OTA brings everyone together; they are able to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses. The core class starts out providing you the basic structure and fundamentals for trading with their methodology. You will then choose a specific asset class to start the 2nd phase of your training. You are taught how to use their methodology in the specific asset class you have decided to trade. Please be aware that if you don’t put the time and effort into learning, you will not get as much out of the training. More specifically, you need to study and practice everyday.Their facility is kept extremely clean, the staff is friendly and warm, and they know that if you fail, they do too. If you are new to trading, you have to understand that it will take time to learn all your new skills, so relax, take your time (it’s not a sprint), be patient, and ask questions. You might even have to take the class over again, but the Houston OTA group is there to help you on your way to success.
OTA Houston is an unique education and hand holding community which helps a person to understand the essence of the financial world all around him and enables a person to take a informed decision about various financial options available to him. The instructors are top notch and the environment is very enabling. The path to your success thus finally boils down to your own actions, discipline and application. So go out there and thereafter apply yourself.
My instructor was highly knowledgeable on how to gauge the markets. He was pleasant, professional and patient. Entering the academy as someone who has been unemployed for a year, it took me longer to begin to absorb the class content than other students. However, I am leaving class with a wealth of video review lessons, interactive assessments and current trade examples to help solidify the process. Thank you to all who took the time to encourage me and provide the stepping stones needed for a successful future as an independent woman! I am determined to follow their guidance and intend to remain far from the grind of the corporate world!! :$)
I have been associated with Online Trading Academy in Houston,Tx. as a student for about six months. From my first visit the staff have been more the helpful. From the reception\ist, to Mary Beth, to my education counselor Marcia, to the instructors Craig Weil and Russ Allen, to the support staff Ed Huggans andJeff Eshleman, and the other education counselors: all have been right on top of my needs and have been more then helpful in answering my questions. As to the physical facalities, they are excellent. The reception area is bright and open; the classrooms are well equiped and very well set up for the instruction process; the lunches provided are excellent and much appreciated.The process that is taught has been intense , but the instructors have spent the time necessary to make sure all are up to speed before moving on.This is not a cheap program, but I believe will pay off in the long run.Bob Hine
Hey Houston! If you want to be successful in any aspect of your life consistency is the key. I just taught Professional Option Trading in Houston and as always, everything ran like clock work! Mary Beth and Kevin and their whole team really strive to get you ready for class and when you combine that with an incredible class of highly motivated individuals, its an amazing week! Hats off to everyone this week! You help make teaching options a real joy!
OTA is an awesome way to learn. The Houston location is first rate and the leadership and Instruction are as well. I am just getting into the world of trading but I can say that this is the best education money can buy. Some would comment on the price of admission but what we are learning is not something you will learn from a book. This is the real world of trading, taught by professionals who know the world,Initially I was like many folks who thought if only I can get a book and read about it, then I can learn it and do it. Well that is about 90% of the wanna-be traders. We learn stuff that others can only dream about. Matter fact some cant even dream that big.The other students (future pro-traders) that I have the privilege to learn with are great.If you think you pay your money and your an instant millionaire think again. This is just the first step in a long journey. You have to first learn to crawl, walk and then run. There is no smoke and mirrors here at the Houston academy. Just great instruction with a professional staff and an owner who put her students first. All I can say is Awesome.
The instructor tried to make it simple for novice users.A lot of encouragement especially for novice users was given.Everyone was very courteous and professional. Parking was safe and accommodating. The center was always clean inclusive of the bathrooms.The handouts, slides and computer system was excellent and easy to understand.Presentation was excellent! Knowledge and experience of 43 years invaluable! His style was explained in comparison to other instructors.
I am grateful to be a part of the Houston OTA network. The classes are full of information and the staff is there to assist you reach your investing goals. I recommend anyone serious about empowering themselves in the area of trading, take a look at OTA Houston.
First of all I want to said thanks to all members of OTA Houston all you guys are very knowledgeable, responsible and support me every time I need.As I OTA student I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my teacher Mr. Brock Pierce, who teach me a wonderful studies about Futures Trader . Who also helped me in learn and completing my Pro-Pick project. I came to know about so many new things. I am really thankful to all of member of OTA Houston.I owe OTA Houston a debt of gratitude for all that OTA Houston have done for me. Thank you all.Jorge Silva
THANK YOU Mary Beth, Rick, Perry , Kevin and Brock for taking me under your wing. I have been blessed for meeting you and Online Trading Academy. This process has been a life journey that i wish i would have started years ago. My only goal is to continue with the knowledge obtained and be successful. If your looking for an avenue to change your life talk to Kevin or Rick. Everyone is super helpful, and will guide you in the right direction to your financial future. I give them 5 stars for being efficient, always helping me with my beginner knowledge and many questions i had, and not wasting my time. I appreciate everyone on your staff abs look forward to many more classes after todays graduation!!..By the way.. you MUST have Brock as your teacher!! Two thumbs up for that guy and his patience in teaching newbies!!
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Online Trading Academy (OTA). The staff is very professional and always eager to help. I highly recommend OTA if you do or dont know anything about investing....its well worth it. Im an accountant and even I learned somethings I didnt know from OTA, even after taking Finance classes in college. At first I was hesitant due to the cost and the (financial/time) sacrifice I would have to make...I was also taking graduate classes...but I can say that I have MADE a nearly 50% return on my brokerage account since being taught by OTA. This return on investment was more than I could have made with my MBA and only in a couple months! It is definitely worth it, I am a witness!Happy Trading!
Online Trading Academy has been a godsend. Ive tried various educational efforts to learn the art and technique of trading forex. These people are professional, honest and caring. From the very first day it was impressed on me what risks there were and that job one for any of their students is to protect their capital.. Yes the courses are expensive, but you get way more than you pay for. You get knowledge from people who are trading. You get support when you leave the class to go on your own. And maybe, most important, you know you have access to people who really want you to succeed. I WILL be back for more classes. Thank you!
I just finished my third class at Online Trading Academy, one with Kevin Green and two with Craig Weil as the instructors. These classes opened up my mind with enthusiasm and confidence to proceed forward in making a second income that my husband and I can depend on. The staff at the school is exemplary, with one goal in mind: to make us successful at trading in the market. The enviroment is state of the art, welcoming and very comfortable. The back up support continues on weekly with tutorials, suggestions for trades, older class videos for reviews and counselors that you can call for additional assistance. They also encouraged us to create a community with our new trading business through our class mates. If you or someone you know is interested in trading and learning a successful process, taught by some of the original people that were on the trading floors before the computer revolution, they cannot go wrong with this school. Research it for yourself! I HIGHLY recommend this school!
I dont know if OTA Houston training center needs anymore accolades but all the good things you read in these reviews are true. The staff bends over backward to serve and answer everyones questions and needs. It would appear they provide quality training and back it up with support. More than just move you through the class, your success appears to be one of their important goals as an educator. There is so much material to absorb and then it takes time to master it and they repeat this over and over until you believe them. The teachers are well versed because of their own trials and expound the training that has been finely tuned to the current markets and trading ingredients.Thanks guys, the bond has just begun,David and Taresa
Our experience at OTA has been life changing!! The resources available and the quality of instructors, like Tom Joyce, bring the knowledge from real experts for you to learn from. We love being part of the OTA family!!!
Over the last four plus decades I have attended many complex training sessions in several industries, industrial processes, equipment manufacturers, software systems, and various corporate work processes. I have been well trained by competent, knowledgeable, and passionate educators. In the past I have developed training programs for manufacturers and the chemical industries. Therefore based upon past experience, I believe I know of what I speak.The Houston Online Trading Academy “OTA” management, instructors, and staff plus there worldwide corporate support associated with the OTA and there programs meet and exceed my initial expectations and established knowledge/skill sets I was not aware of before.Based upon using a past lifetime of training experience and the experience I have observed, learned from and gained attending OTA. There is an ongoing training process after the initial classes and they have many tools to help you succeed. In most cases you can replete a class if you need to. I have.My experience with them OTA is that if you have the desire and capability and are willing put forth the effort to succeed with the “OTA” programs, they have the resources available for your success.In addition to my attending OTA, I am financing my daughter through the program and will put my grandchildren through if they desire when they are old enough.Regards,Ray McKnight
I just finished the Core Strategy Class with instructor Tom Joyce. With Tom and Online Trading Academy, I now have a way to make money using their strategies and support. I would recommend him and Online Trading Academy to anyone ready to personally set their own plans for wealth management.
My experience at OTA was wonderful. The instructors break down the ins and outs of the trading world. It is hands on training that anyone can follow. Best of all they will continue to work with you until you get it, no one is left behind.
I have taken four classes with Online Trading Academy (OTA); Core, Forex, Options, and Futures. I did not realize how little I knew about the investments in my 401K. Subsequent to taking these classes I knew little about my portfolio and what ways I could maximize my portfolio. Since taking these classes, I increased my knowledge on how to take advantage of downturn in the markets as well as the upswings. Now when my portfolio manager asks me what asset I would like to buy or sell in my portfolio we have a more intellectual discussion. Hats off to OTA. I wish I had known about these classes sooner.
I started wit OTA about 8 years ago just learning to be a day trader. Over time I continued taking courses and refining my knowledge until putting it all together two years ago, I have been able to average a 20% return using the simplest methods, all taught by OTA. Did I mention that I went for a year without a losing trade. Im not a professional trader but I am getting results better than pros offering to trade for me. I believe that without OTAs training I would not have come close to being able to trade large sums of money with confidence that I can handle the risk inherent in trading.
Just finished the forex trading class. What a GREAT experience! Challenging and yet the instructor made sure all students were learning. I am confident I will be successful as I practice the skills learned. As we trading the actual market. As always the staff is friendly, professional and helpful. The owner is active and supportive. What a great center. I wish I had done this years ago.
Online Trading Academy does not get any better than what you can find at the Houston Location, Kevin Green will bring the knowledge and energy to make you a Pro Trader! I was truly impressed with the entire staff and facility, theyre a group of great people Im glad I had the opportunity to meet. Thank you OTA!
Precision Trading Strategy! Currently sitting the Core Strategy class. I understand that everyone has a strategy/approach to trading securities. OTA CLEARLY defines an approach that might take some time to learn, BUT greatly eliminates risk.I was skeptical about another program that only wanted my money, while dangling that carrot in front of my face. They told me they care about my success, and to be honest, this Houston team has definitely been working with me in regards to payments, scheduling, and now making SURE I understand the information they are teaching.I will end on this note. If you are looking for that magical answer that allows 100% winning trades, perhaps stick too something other than trading. If you want to learn to trade, but be cheap about your costs, then the internet has plenty of jokers that will take your last few bucks. However, if you want to be as professional as it gets this side of Investment Banks, then OTA IS the place for You!
I would like to thank you to OTA Houston on helping me to open new insight in earning for leaving after my employment laid me off, recently. Highly recommended for everybody who want to have a financial free of life without fear to loose our job at all. Especial thanks for the patient of the lecturer and support as well while helping us to overcome any difficulties we face during understanding to manage financial tools so we can proceed the trade in our real life. What is the most strength on OTA houston that They are online world wide, it doet care where are you,. Like me even though I have moved to Indonesia, I will enable to keep studying in any country around the world, for example in my case to Indonesia and Singapore. Furthermore,They never stop on the support after finishing our class, till we are the student to achieve our goal. They keep guide us during trading and answer all of the question we have, especially in term to cover the most important materials inside of the mastermind community and apply them on our daily trade. Muchas gracias OTA-Houston !
Let me take a moment to share with you all about Online Trading Academy (OTA). I have been trading equities on and off for about ten years. My stock trading knowledge came from my own learning and through peers. Frankly my overall success was low. Sure Ive had many winning trades but more losing trades. I didnt have discipline and guidance.I have actually heard about OTA many times on the AM station (I listen to AM alot) but never really paid attention. One day I finally did listen and took action by attending one of their free workshops. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I have been looking for professional, educators who could empower me with the right knowledge to increase my probabilities for winning high reward trades while minimizing my risks of loss. Lets face, we will lose some trades but you want to lose minimally. Ive been an ongoing student for 2 months now.The facility is well run and very clean. They are located in the Vintage Park so there is plenty of parking. What I am most impressed is the actual people that work there. I know everyones name there. They know my fiance and me. Everyone always greets you. They love what they do. You get to know the other students. They want us to succeed with their program. The students want to succeed from their program. As a result, everyones look out for each others best interests to succeed in the market because frankly, each student is tired from losing their hard earned money from the the market.I believe in their academic program works with great success. You cant fake 41 franchises and numerous awards if their program doesnt work. I am ready to put my new knowledge to the test. I will be back to give another review in 6 months and 1 year to let viewers know about my trading progress. Best to everyone.
Online Trading Academy Houston has been my eyes opener to the Financial Market. They trained me to be a successful professional trader, the whole team of teachers has been a supportive of me, also they are heart torching people. I am really blessed for the great opportunity God give me to meet people like Kelvin Green, Mary Beth, Lori, Rick, Jon, Jan, and Marcia. God bless you all.
Ive been a student of Online Trading Academy Houston since 2009. Over the years Ive taken & retaken(free life time retakes) many of OTAs courses including Pro Trader, Options, Futures & Forex. Most recently I retook the Forex class with Todd Davis.This Forex class was the best for many reasons: Todd Davis presented current Forex currency pairs with real time pricing & trade set ups. No student question went unanswered. This class of 22 students offered plenty of hands on platform trading time as well as the pre trading research & background research required for a low risk entry, stop & exit.Additionally, the support staff at OTA is beyond excellent. They follow up after the completed class to provide additional resources to assist each student in being a successful trader!
Really appreciate Online Trading Academy and the great effort they put into teaching their craft. Learned about the markets and trading various instruments that had only read about or never knew existed. They are extremely helpful at OTA, very responsive to my questions and the staff is very supportive. Great experience with great people!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience I have had so far with the Online Trading Academy in Houston, TX. The whole team is knowledgeable and quite helpful. Additionally, the atmosphere is pleasant. I have gained great insight into the financial markets!
OTA-Houston is offering me a proper structured approach towards learning to trade. Even after the classroom course sessions & online course sessions are over, it offers me continuing education through various XLTs - eXtended Learning Track videos & Hour With The Pros videos which helps improve trading concepts. Its a good place to be at.
Excellent staff and instructors at this business. I have tried a lot of trading companies before Online Trading Academy that turned out to be a waste of my money and time. Online Trading Academy teaches new traders all the way to the advanced trader. Highly recommend this company to anyone serious about learning how to trade the markets.
I have been trading for quite a few years and thought I was doing pretty well. UNTIL I took the Online Trading Academy Houston classes. Boy did I get my eyes opened. They get you right into the heartbeat of the market. It is cutting edge knowledge. The support the team shows each of us students is amazing and unending. It is continuous, hands-on and with life-time re-takes. When you walk out of that last class, you know fully well they will still be there for you in the future. MaryBeth and Kevin are over the top willing to help you understand anything and everything. If you don’t get it, they go over and over it until ‘they’ are sure you do. Not just when you think you do. This is by far the best investment I have made with my money. The expense was worth every penny. I even went back and checked quite a few of my trades from the past and if I would have used their method, I would of either made A LOT more money or not lost on the trade. It is mind blowing how much knowledge they share. And right on the money. I check and double check their method and it is just crazy how accurate they are.
Two years ago I did a review giving 5 stars to the course I had received in OTA-Houston and the strategy they teach.I allowed myself a period of 2 years to correct my review, waiting for some progress in my skills as trader, with what I had learned in this institution, which never came.The course had a cost of $ 25k, it is an extremely high cost which I paid thinking of replacing it soon due to the high level of reliability that this institution told me that the strategy had (lie) 🤔. I took 2 classes: the Core Strategy class, which is the basic principle of the Supply and Demand strategy and the Futures class.Until today, I have been using this strategy and all the rules I learned here, I have been very strict in sticking to them and to my trading plan. I haven’t seen any progress in my trading skills and I have done nothing but lose my money.I’ve wasted hours and hours of study, attending the “Hour with the pros”, the “General Sessions”, etc; I have applied the strategy in all my trading setups and I still keep losing money.In fact, the 5-star review I gave here two years ago was because they told to the class that if we gave 5-stars on google they would give us a Cryptocurrency course for free and that was not fulfilled either.Concluding, I am a 100% disappointed, ruined and scammed.It should be noted that the best was always the attention provided by the group of teachers and the attention by all the students support; I think it is the least they can do due to the high cost of the course.I have friends who paid $ 50k for the Mastermind course and they are in the same place as me 😡Please, if you value your money and time, use it in another course. I dont want anyone to feel like me. Thanks
OTA does a great job of boiling down complex trading concepts into easy to understand steps. They cement these learning with excellent course materials and a well organized team all in a state of the art facility.
Ed Huggans is especially helpful in setting up the tradestation platform on my computer. I have found the OTA proactive investor course to be quite helpful in managing my retirement funds. Sean Reed was a quite resourceful instructor and gave many useful insights.
After a very long time researching where to attain my education, my conclusion let me to OTA-Houston. I am proud to say this decision has been the right one.I commend everyone here...the Owner, General Manager, Teachers, Education Counselors, Student Support, Administration, etc. The team of people at OTA-Houston sincerely care about your education and wish to see you succeed because they know (first hand) it can only better ones life.
Ive attended several Online Trading Academy centers. The Houston location is one of the best. The staff are very informative and follow up with students. Mary Beth, Kevin, Ed and the rest of the staff are awesome.
Ive been at this institution for just over 4 years. Never in my wildest thoughts I couldve seen my financial education be realized to its highest potential. I would not give a five star rating but rather a ten out of ten! The professionalism and skills are beyond any school Ive attended. No one could teach financial independence like they do.
I have been involved with Online Trading Academy as a student since Jan 2011 when I took my first class in Charlotte. I was skeptical when I first signed up but over the last 4 1/2 years they have made a totally believer in what they teach and the integrity of the company. I have taken all their classes and I was one of the first students that they signed up in their mastermind community. There wasnt much to the mastermind community when I first signed up but this isnt a company that stands still but always looking to improve and make things better and better all the time. I have to say now it is a really good program and there are a lot of good things going on in there. I have NO REGRETS in buying into this education. ALL their instructors are top notch and many of them came right off the exchange floors. They dont have to teach. They have proven to me over and over again that they can pull what ever income they want out of the markets. They teach because of their desire to share and to help others achieve their goals. ALL the instructors and staff I have been involved with seem to have a strong moral backing and desire to do the right thing. This company has been very good to me as one of their students.This Is NOT a get rich scheme. 90% of people that attempt to trade in the financial markets FAIL. You will have to study and do your work. If you put in the work and the time to learn the concepts that is taught at Online Trading Academy the income potential really is unlimited. I dont say this to sound ridiculous but your only real limit is your account size and how much size you can put on a trade. I have seen some reviews say the futures and forex markets that we are taught to trade in is RISKY? I have to address that. If you are just throwing money around in leveraged markets then you can easily loose more money than you have in your account and it is risky if you dont know what the heck you are doing. RISK MANAGEMENT and proper position sizing are two important concepts that are taught by our instructors. We predetermine the maximum risk per trade and we are not allowed to go over that. Then we use precision entries based on supply and demand and follow strict rules on how we manage the trade. These instruments are only risky if you dont follow rules and size your positions properly.Kevin Green was one of the first instructors I listened to in the extended learning track (XLT) and I have been wanting to take one of his classes for a long time. He is also the general manager of the Houston center. I had the opportunity to come to Houston to take his class. I have to say that his center is sparkling clean and professionally operated. The Houston center seems to kick the high standards up a notch. Kevin puts an extra effort into providing as much information as possible in 5 short days. He pushes his students a little to grasp these concepts and to get as much out of the class as we can. This is one business that you have to be in the top 5% if you are going to make the dough and Kevin crams a lot of information into his classes. His motivation is the success of his students. He goes well above and beyond the call of duty.But Kevin is just one of many awesome instructors that give their time to us along with those in the Extended Learning Track program and in the MasterMind community. This is a profession just like any other. You wont learn it in a week. You have to work at it and put the effort in to learn how to be a successful trader. There is an entire community of us students and as one of my peers put it you have to be part of the family to understand the family. I thought it was a lot of money when I signed up but NOWHERE are professional traders going to take you under their wings and spoon feed you this stuff for free. Come to think about it, I got a real bargain and I would do it all over again.Dennis Whitworth (Clover, SC)
Came here for the half class workshop, was really impressed with how courteous and welcoming the staff was. The instructor, I believe her name is Marybeth seemed to be really knowledgeable. It may seem skeptical at first but honestly the vibes in there are full of positivity and they are there to help you not to tell you what to do. Im basing my review off of the workshop only thus far, I am not yet enrolled as a student.
Online Trading Academy is fabulous. The staff goes overboard to be helpful and friendly. The facility is definitely up to date. The best part, however, is the excellent education. If you want to trade successfully in the markets, you must be educated and this is the very best place to acquire that education.
If youre getting serious about your financial future in Houston there is on place above all other .Online Trading Academy.Best stock trading class. Mary Beth , Kevin and all support staff are wonderful . first class support and facility .
Online trading Academy is by far the best trading education institution. They have great instructors and student support counselors. It has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made.
I just graduated from Forex class. My professor was Tim P, he is a great professor, very patient, have years of experience & very knowledgeable in trading business. I am very fortunate to be in his class. OTA staff are very friendly & supportive.
I have taken 3 or 4 Options classes before. Steve is the only instructor that has been able to make me understand how Options work. His communications skills are superb - his ability to compare an issue that is difficult to understand with something that is simple, is unique.In my opinion, Options are weird, and I still think it is difficult to grasp. But this time, I feel confident that I, with practice, can overcome my negative thoughts and learn to take advantage of this great tool. Thank you, Steve.
I love this place. The education is far above most academies. The staff treats each one of us as family. Not only do you walk away with knowledge that is possible to use they offer you constant care, continuing education, and encouragement.I feel the instructors and advisors go far beyond the norm and expected.MANY GOOD THINGS GOING ON AT ONLINE TRADING ACADEMY HOUSTON!!
This is a professional institution that teaches great education on various financial instruments. The teachers & staff are excellent and care about your learning. You can retake the class for lifetime in case you dont get it the first time. Classroom environment is top rated.
The Pro Trader course was extremely helpful. The course provided clarity to my understanding of the market and establishing a comprehensive system approach to my trading. The Support Staff, Ed Huggans and Jeff Eshleman, provide great assistance in review of trade set-ups and application of the core knowledge to become an effective trader. The ability to retake courses through the Online Trading Academy is priceless, allowing you to sharpen and maintain your trading skills.

I completed my Proactive Investing class, and Im excited to take control of my wealth bucket. Paul Orme is a great instructor.
Absolute thieves and scam! Do not believe a word they say to you. Think about it, if you found the hen that lays golden eggs, would you share it? They take your money and if you dont have any they make you take a credit line which they make you believe that its with them and that all you have to pay it whatever amount this great deal you are supposed to be getting only to later find out they in cahoots with Monterrey Financial who will charge a 23% interest, and $10 additional fee for making the payment online!!! Do yourselves a favor, stay way from these people!
Great class. Craig was an excellent knowledgeable instructor. The support staff is top notch! Highly recommend
