I get an ad for these guys once every few months. I've also seen their commercials. Always struck me as odd. FWIW their percentages more-or-less reflect trading of leveraged derivatives so I'm not totally surprised. What does surprise me is that people would pay $12,000-$60,000 for lessons. You could stumble through the market blind folded and come out profitable with that kind of capital.
Last year I was "invited" to attend a free 1/2 day seminar, even received a free kindle for attending. I didn't sign up because all the "expert instructor" did was trying to sell courses to us. Poor lady was very pleasant and nice. I felt bad for her I didn't sign up.

I never got a free kindle for attending . One time I got a nice dinner from some people that wanted to sell me hearing aids though! haha. OTA is operating in some really murky waters. They've adapted MLM tactics to trading which, while brilliant, is despicable.

Good god, I've been getting spam physical mails every week by them. It's been going straight to the recycling dump every time
I’m surprised that people still keep falling for this shit all the time.. Then again I remember how ignorant and foolish the average wanna-be trader is.
It's interesting how the CEO said that his company should be allowed "the constitutionally granted right to commercial free speech", but yet if one of his customers asks for their money back, that customer has to sign an agreement that they won't say anything negative about the company on sites like this. Hmmmm...
