If you want to use printed pages of FTC reports and tradingschools pages as toilet paper or fireplace fuel, you're free to do so. What counts is the informed and proven material. Tradingschools has done a great service informing many who would have otherwise fallen for these scams including egregious ones like OTA. Tradingschools has even recently exposed the latest scam site of the Najarians, lol. (https://www.tradingschools.org/market-rebellion/) A trusted advocacy and review source and a watchdog hub of due diligence since 2015 that was long needed for newcomers. Emmett has endured over 15 crony lawsuits by the vendor scammers during tradingschools' efforts to get the truth out. sheez, I can't believe there were posts as far back as the early 10's or earlier here on ET defending Seiden when he's shown now with a history of a lifelong crook. OTA even paid off the now corrupt ripoffreport to take off those earlier bad reviews. But ET has long had a history of allowing shills or the vendors in disguise to post here as we all know. At least newcomers fortunate to see this exposure reporting by tradingschools and the FTC pages will have a better informed choice before thinking about signing up to the upselling scam of OTA.
Dont take Wally's post lightly. You will hear the same and worse from anyone who has ever worked there. Sorry to inform you that ex-OTA instructors give the shat you paid $40k+ for away for free. Its happened for awhile, but since the FTC complaint, even the top " professional traders" of OTA have jumped ship and are hawking it online. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0iFW2o8U4BtbgmbETV8iYA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2UMU_gBD7GJXOjnEAGL_Jg When you see the title OTA instructor its code word for ex-student who needs a job teaching to recover dignity & course costs.
The FTC website said there was a permanent injunction against them. Oh I reread the statement, it was only pending. But they are still in business?
