I recieved a call from one of their telemarketers who in turn invited be to a "half day" workshop. By half day I assumed it would be 4-5 hours and was more or less told that on the phone. They apparently bought my name from a list but wouldn't tell me their source.



The workshop was listed on their website as "sold out" so I was excited, sort of to be registered just in time. When I got t here, their office was closed and nobody was there.



I called back the following Monday to ask what had happened and was told that the "sold out" workshop had been cancelled. I was more than just a little upset as I had made special plans to drive to their facility and wondered why they didn't at least show me the courtesy of a courtesy call to let me know that it was cancelled.



The guy never responded and just told me to calm down and then invited me to another workshop the following week. The dates and times did not meet my schedule.so I finally did get to schedule a workshop called a "PTW" Power Trading Workshop. Much to my dismay, it didn't last a half day but more like 2 hours and it wasn't a workshop but a sales pitch followed by very high pressure selling tactics.



I did have the opportunity to speak with a few of the clients and while the newer clients were upbeat, nobody was making any real money. And the price is expensive. While the so called "half day" workshop is FREE, it is just a come on to the expensive classes which run as high as $48,000 and believe me, they will high pressure you to sign up for the full load.



Online Trading Academy claims that you will "use real money" , "their money" That is questionable. They also claim to offer unlimited retakes for life. With a small classroom capable of fitting 20 people max, where int he world will fit everybody? And companies in this industry have a history of being shut down. So how long is lifetime?



Having bought several books on investing and day trading, based on the content of the programs offered as told to me by students and the counselors and sitting in on one of their classes, at best, the information is very basic and not worth anywhere near $5,000.



The company will also try to get you to sign up for financing at 18% interest! Ouch!!



My overall experience from listing a "half day" workshop as being "sold out" when in fact it was really cancelled and the high pressure, very unprofessional tactics demonstrated by the counselors and staff left me with a very poor impression of Online Trading Academy in Orlando.



My adivice? Stay away.
