OTA
A very focussed training delivery company. Learning to trade in a mechanical sense is easy, developing a realistic plan and following that plan is hard. What all grads of the OTA programme have is weekly access to an instructor, weekly forecasts from a panel of instructors and also email support from an instructor. If the information has been too over the head on the first course there is always an option to retake the course at any of the centres in the world. Free of tuition fees. The XLT programme is amazing, it is practically a trading floor and the pro pick service is free money provided the individual is prepared to apply what they have learned.
Some people are never going to learn how to trade as long as they have a hole in their arse, this also applies to some OTA grads so there is no guarantee that this is a path to massive riches. What it does deliver is a structured education programme and the most important part is the chance to live trade in a classroom environment (not a hotel) for about 4 days under the advice of a coach. This is what marks the difference between the training programmes. Of all of them, OTA is Tops, It teaches students how to trade, it teaches the pitfalls, it teaches a range of strategies, it teaches trade planning and risk management. The aftercare is unparalleled and I would love to be challenged on this.
