Complaint Review: Online Trading Academy TRUSTED Business | Ripoff Report Verified Safe™ …businesses consumers can trust. Online Trading Academy's roots can be traced back to 1997 as one of the largest trading floors in the U.S. with 180 traders averaging half a billion dollars in daily transactions. To improve results managers and the top traders offered daily coaching sessions in how to trade more consistently and profitably.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Online Trading Academy is not your friend.  They're in the business of selling overpriced education packages.  Mine was $12,500.

What they won't tell you up front is that in order to generate the income you dream of, you MUST have a trading account of AT LEAST $5000, and $5000 is a pitiful trading account.

Most of my fellow students were of retirement age and were driving up in junk cars.  It was obvious to me that they were desperate for a financial bonanza at this stage of life.  Several of the students had very little computer training to speak of.  I was helping some of them as best I could.

In February 2012, the week after the course ended, I went to speak to the owner in his office.  I told him about my observations, as stated above.  I was calm and well-mannered.  He had sweat trickling down the side of his face.  It's not warm and humid in Minnesota in February.

If I had any money left, I'd have hired an attorney, but OTA's pockets are deep, and their contracts are skillfully written.  If there is ever a class-action against OTA, I will sign up.

Don't give them your money or your time.
