Ok, update on the discs I ordered. Before I got them I received a call from a rep trying to get me to go to classes, called me everyday so far...
Got the disc's and so far it is all a complete joke, a bunch of power points on cd with information that is insulting to people with half a brain. A new trader could go online and do 15 minutes of research on trading and get more information.
Oh...and the videos, I mean power points, crash every 5 minutes or so.
This is so sketch it should be investigated, a complete scam. I feel stupid for even thinking about buying these.
It would be interesting for you to tape those calls and post it on YouTube or here. I can only imagine.....
And as pointed out, all paying the maximum gets you is the "opportunity" to develop your own system yourself (as if you can't do that anyplace else, at anytime and for virtually no expenditures). That way, when you fail, you have no one to blame but yourself.
This crap was spawned in Scam City. Put it on the list.
I am the Senior Vice President of Franchise Operations for Online Trading Academy. I have read a few posts here questioning our company and the value of our offerings, as well as numerous posts from extremely satisfied graduates. I welcome a direct conversation with anyone who feels they have not received the value they hoped for in their relationship with us - my contact information is provided below.
We have over 30 financial education centers throughout the world in the US, Canada, the UK, India, Singapore, Dubai, and soon Hong Kong and Jakarta. We have thousands of extremely satisfied customers who have taken courses at our centers and over the web. Our Vice President of Education and our course content have won numerous awards and industry recognition and we know we have the finest trader education available in the world.
I read dozens of emails every week from around the world indicating our education has truly transformed lives. We strive to satisfy and delight every customer, but we know we at times fall short. When we do, we do our best to make it right. If you feel you have not been provided what you had hoped for, please contact me and I will do all I can to try to help you.
Our 300+ franchise owners, employees and instructors around the world take great pride in what we do every day - what we have invested our lives in, and to be called a "scam" is hurtful and unfair. I hope those who read these comments will contact us and visit our centers to see that we truly are a world class business.

Rule number 1 of finance/trading -
Think very carefully about doing business with a firm that can 'franchise'.
Successful trading and training cannot be setup like a KFC.
Although it can if trading is only the cover for selling franchises.........
Look behind the curtain in this business folks. All is often not what it seems which is why some of the best traders base their success on their ability to screw their heads on backwards.......

Dsave,
First of all- I explained to you SPECIFICALLY that the CD content was very basic in content compared to class material... so if you feel the scope is undervalued you have no one to blame but yourself and you need to quit your constant complaining.
Second- the CD's work fine- I have numerous packages and not one has failed in operation.
Intellectually this post is absolutely absurd. Are you really serious in believing what you just posted?
What does a "franchise" operation have to do with anything? You have blatantly made a presumption w/o basis that due to the business model structure, the nature of the business itself is automatically trumped as being compromised and invalid. There is 100% zero basis for your presumption... and there is not a single thing you can objectively point to for proof that your post holds any weight whatsoever.
One of the CD packages online has this for a description.
The Ultimate Professional Trader Plus CD Library
Receive over 38+ hours (24 CD's) of our highest quality trading education in one package! Order all of our trading education CDs at an astonishingly low price! Get the education you need to increase your trading skills!
If you read closely you will notice it says "our highest quality trading education." And you said the CD content is basic...so what does that mean? It means you lie to your customers. And it means this is the best you offer and it is complete garbage that can be found on Wikipedia.
And say what you may, my CD's, every single one of them, crashed at least 4 times before I finished it, not to mention all the times the sound cuts out.
Also, when you stop scamming I will stop complaining, you are just mad that your image is crap and only gets worse. I have every right to be upset when I get treated this way.
