Hello, I'm Larry, I'd like to share my personal experience with The Online Trading Academy in Denver, Colorado. I've been an electrician for 23 years. I've worked on many different projects, I've traveled for work from North Dakota to South Texas and in between., I've got a very well rounded knowledge of the electrical trade and I've reached many of my goals. 2 and a half years ago, I became very bored and unchallenged. So I discovered stock trading. I watched videos on YouTube, read books on trading and learned ideas and principles from various "gurus" . "Buy low, sell high, cut losses quickly, etc" Even though I made a little bit of money and missed out on trading opportunities, I realized that something was missing. I discovered The online trading academy in Denver. I attended the free half day class, then I attended the free 3 day class after that. The instructor named Sam Evans demonstrated to the 3 day class the types of trading education that OTA offers. And once a day I would meet with a "counselor" to discuss any questions I had about the school, courses etc and the direction I needed to go in my new career as a trader. I was the very first person to bring up the issue of money. How much does the school cost, financing and how much for each course. The people in Denver wanted to help me with my education and me education was their primary focus. First, OTA teaches the foundation of how to trade in what's called Core Strategy. I'm very happy that that's a requirement because it really helped me understand my next class which was Forex. That foundation has helped me with making decisions in preparing for a trade. I really like OTA because of the "organized, structured courses". I like having experienced people help guide me along my path. I like having tons of resources, study material and "contact information to a live person who wants to help me". In conclusion, I'm very happy that I'll be able to take control of my personal retirement account. Ill know how to make additional income when I get laid off from work, and I'm very excited that I'll have more time for my family. I don't have money, I'm always broke living paycheck to paycheck. But I firmly believe that with study, learning and applying what I've learned, I will have what I need. I'm not paid, I'm just a humble student who wants to share my personal experience. Cheers Larry o'Farrell read more

I started OTA Denver last October (2019) when I took the Core Strategy class. I had reservations, the classes are very expensive and there are a lot of other online courses teaching trading for mush less. I actually tried one of those, but felt I would prefer a more hands-on approach. My experience with OTA has been well above my expectations. The quality of the courses, the instructor, the support staff, etc... has been amazing. Learning to trade is difficult and requires a lot of work on your part. You won't be learning a "quick and easy - get rich" scheme. What you will be learning is a well sought out approach to trading and risk management. It will take time and a considerable amount of work, but the approach works if you put in the time. The great thing with OTA aren't just the classes, but what happens after, and unfortunately this isn't emphasis enough in their marketing. Once you are done with the class there is an amzing support system waiting for you, which is probably the reason the classes are expensive. You get homework, you can retake the class either online or on site, you have a support staff that will have a one on one with you to answer any questions you may have or help you better understand a specific topic - think personal trainer... The OTA student online portal is incredible, with tones of video, live coaching/classes call xlt's, there are lab classes where you can practice with an instructor, etc... It has been an great experience so far and I can highly recommend it. I have taken their options and futures class as well. Just keep in mind that, like anything else, it works only if you put the effort and time in, at the end your success is up to you, but with OTA you have the benefit of a dedicated support and instructor staff taking the journey with you, and helping you every step of the way. The class you pay for is only the beginning. read more

OTA's "patented" method of finding zones where price turns DOES work a lot of the time, but that is only half the battle trading successfully. In my experience as a student, the education will cost a lot before you make money. (Something I still hope to do). You must know the difference between a simple retrace and an actual trend change in order to make more than a few pips on a trade. Choosing reliable targets isn't a big part of beginner OTA training; for that, you need the additional "Mastermind" secrets, which cost more. It's been said that a master has failed more times than a beginner has even tried. With that in mind, OTA training will give you a great start, but expect to spend about $25K+ in tuition, and a couple of years practicing before you're profitable. read more

My fiancé and I recently took a campus tour with Nicholas, and unfortunately, our experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. When we asked a simple question about the total cost of attendance, he immediately gave us numbers and then stated, "If it's not for you, I don't want to waste your time and continue the tour." At no point did we suggest the price was "too much" for us--we were simply requesting information. Throughout the tour, he repeatedly emphasized that "if it's not doable or not for us, we don't have to continue." Instead of focusing on the school itself, This not only distracted from the purpose of the tour but also made us feel singled out and discouraged. As a Hispanic woman and with my fiancé being Black, I felt strongly that we were being racially profiled. The way we were spoken to suggested that we were being dissuaded from considering the school, rather than welcomed or persuaded to join the community. I cannot imagine a white couple being treated in the same manner. The entire interaction felt dismissive, demeaning, and disrespectful. Nicholas also mentioned that he was leaving for vacation the next day, which left the impression that maybe he was not invested in giving us a meaningful tour so he could have a mellow last work day. Overall, what should have been an exciting and informative experience was instead extremely discouraging. I left feeling disappointed and disrespected, when I had truly hoped to leave with a positive impression of the school. EDIT: I received a call back from a lady in admissions regarding my concerns. She stated she had listened to the recording and told me, "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I didn't hear anything wrong. Sometimes the price is a deterrent for people." When I explained that Nicholas had made the comment multiple times, even when I didn't have any concerns for the price she dismissed it by saying, "I Only heard him say it once," to which I responded "He said it a few times." She replied with " Okay, two times, but I personally only heard it once," which implied I was exaggerating or lying. Instead of acknowledging our experience or offering a genuine apology, she asked me to take down my review since it mentions Nicholas' name. If she had simply validated our concerns, apologized appropriately, and not pressured me to remove my review, I would have been willing to take it down. Unfortunately, the way this was handled left me feeling even more disrespected and dismissed. I would've definitely gave you guys a second chance but this overall experience made me extremely disappointed, I am no longer choosing Concorde.

It's awful having a school giving up on you. After your paying for classes and going back to school…read moreafter 10 years and in my case I expected having trouble getting used to the routine and yes I expected failing. But they have a policy that they said they have of "max of three fails and you out". The teachers are great but that policy isn't beneficial if there are students that took them a while to get back into school. I don't know but I felt discouraged, not even sure if school is for me at this point. Also still your credits won't transfer to another school not worth it look for another school with more support and your credits transfer almost 80k for the BSN program and the credits aren't transferable not worth it!!

I tried them again recently when they had the only schedule that worked for a Vue exam. There seem to be only 2 places in the DTC that do Vue, so your options are pretty limited. They look like a pretty nice place: everytihng is glass so that you can see thru the walls and there always seems to be a ton of people walking around taking classes, so they must be pretty good for that. Their testing area was pretty nice. The computers seemed to have actually been made in the past 5 years, which is unusual for a testing provider. I'm knocking a star off because their testin chairs are 100% uncomfortable. I know you have to be smarter than the chair, but I could find no way to adjust it and it was way too high for me and my long legs. So I had to sit completely hunched over and unconfomfortable while taking my test. Knocking off another star cause their receptionist was one of the rudest receptionists I've ever met. I got there a little early (which most places prefer and let you check in early, especially if there's room) and she just told me that I was early and she wouldn't help me until it was my time and then just ignored me. Annoying!

Hmm, maybe your training company should have all of their software properly update prior to having a full room of trainees? That would not have been a problem if it weren't for his attitude. In fact, I ended up taking care of the issue myself. The class was too slow paced for a so-called advanced class. Also, there was no recap or review or practice test. There really was not any practical practice at all. I voiced this concern when I received 2 follow up phone called from New Horizons (aka they were trying to hit me up for more money). I don't think it mattered to them...anyway, I learned some good points in the class but I think I'll look elsewhere from now on.

For my review I have two key points. First OTA is a business. For them to survive, they charge for their service. Whether you choose their service, or someone else's, that's your choice. Second, OTA provides a service that gives you the tools to develop the skills and, over time, the experience to conduct trading as your business. Very few business are an overnight success nor do they come at no cost. So if you are willing and ready to invest the time and money in a new career with unlimited earning potential, I strongly recommend the group of dedicated professionals at the Denver OTA school. These guys are first class. Does this mean you will succeed? Not at all. But they will educate you, support you, and provide you will resources that are the foundation of a solid business. Who am I? A 70 year old construction guy that had never taken on the responsibility of his own finances. Those days are over thanks to OTA. So come on along and join a community of traders that will help you build your business and hopefully enrich your life as well. read more

I am so happy I took Dave Logan's advice and checked out Denver's Online Trading Academy. I have never really given much attention to the markets so it has been a huge learning curve for me. It has not been easy but I am determined to learn it. Just like anything else that is new, I am finding that this takes commitment, practice and a huge dose of patience but with the student and instructional support that Nikki, Jordan, Rian and Tad offer, I am confident I will be successful. This center is very responsive to individual learning styles and impresses me as one that truly wants to see their students succeed. John, the owner is a really nice guy and is sincere in making this an outstanding place to learn. Now that I am taking advantage of the meet ups and regularly scheduled, live extended learning opportunities, I am starting to turn the corner on my understanding of zones, curves and trends and how the market works. read more

I signed up for the Mastermind Program with OTA. I have an MBA but have learned as much here as I did getting my advanced degree. The people in the Denver center couldn't be more helpful. Each and every one of them goes out of their way to make sure everything is going smoothly for you. All the classes are offered for you to take again should you decide you need a review. One thing that is stressed is to make a plan to trade. Rookies go head first into trading and lose money, but having a plan, and a full understanding of the rules of trading makes a huge difference. OTA teaches all of this and I am so thankful to have this knowledge. read more
