The good that can come out of it is that you can learn what you're doing it and practice until you are consistently profitable without losing your own money in the process. This is the case regardless if you are doing it to - learn trading in the first place - learn a new platform (we all...

Do you have a copy of it? Did your salesman (or "education counselor" ) sign it? If you haven't already done so call the local franchise owner, the "president" of that office, and discuss it with them - tell them you have a signed contract on terms they agreed to that you expect them to honor...

It could be an honest error or a high pressure bait and switch sales technique. Hard to say which. If that happened I would walk out and tell them to forget it. You could always change your mind later if they won't adjust the price back and you're willing to pay the higher price. But I'd...

I agree with you on that one - if the $6K makes enough difference to someone that they risk being under capitalized because of it then they have no business spending that much on a course. With that said, I am no shill. Why do I take the time to post here? Because when I was deciding to...

4EXJOE: While you might not feel the class is worth it to you, why do you think it is worthless. You already admit to taking one class you thought was worthless and found out it was worthwhile. No offense as everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but it seems like all of the negative...

I did take the course, and for me I believe it was worth it. I'm making some money now - although not yet where I want to be. But I believe I'm getting there months, maybe longer, before I otherwise would have been. So the acceleration in my learning cycle was worth it to me. At the same...

Just curious - have you taken the OTA course? What do you base your comments on? I've run into a lot of people in forums that think very poorly of OTA, but I haven't run into anyone who actually completed their program and thought poorly of it and considered it a waste. ALL of the...

Nothing wrong with taking a large position. But it would be wrong to jump right in with a large position without learning to trade in a consistently profitable way first. I'm learning and trading small positions. My percentage weeks ago wasn't very good. I was loosing more than winning...

I just got started learning about trading a couple months ago. After reading a lot and experimenting a bit I started to look into a training program. I quickly became very skeptical of all of them, being a skeptical person. I read this thread and others before looking into OTA. I went to...

Metoo: I too am just starting out. I think we're in a similar position as far as having worked a long career that ended a few years ago, enjoying myself for a couple years and now looking to make a living through trading to fill out our needs beyond what my nest-egg can provide. Also having...

I don't know where you are at in your education process, but if you're just starting out then Toni Turner's "A Beginner's guide to Day Trading" covers a lot of the basics. It doesn't really go a lot into strategies, but covers a lot of the basics for someone who doesn't know where to start...

PA? Should I know what that term means?
