"I just wanted to again thank you for all the effort you put forth last week. For me, it was truly an eye opening, awesome week. The light bulb really came on. Your approach and style to instruction finally seems to tie everything together. What a dynamic exciting week it was! Since the day I started learning about trading the markets, I’ve always felt enthused, but after taking your Online Trading Academy class I’m flying sky high and I’m wondering just how I’m going to pull myself back to some sort of normal reality before trading starts on Monday. I know... be a robot, take a deep breath and follow the strategy rules and I’ll be fine. Online Trading Academy, and specifically you, have finally tied the important elements of all my previous training together. But then Online Trading Academy added their technical analysis, style, approach and strategies, finally bringing all that info together. I can already see that you have made such a difference in the way I approach and even think about entering a trade. I don’t know how to thank you enough for what you have been kind enough to share with me! Again, thank you for all you’ve done for us and me specifically. Your enthused July student. I do so enjoy your style." James W., July 2010

"Dear Anthony: I just had to write and tell you just how much I enjoyed the Personal Trading Plan course that you taught this past Thursday April 8th. The information in the class was very timely and your presentation of it was professional, thoughtful, and gracious. In fact, you were unbelievably generous with your time and knowledge. You were also very patient and I appreciated how you elicited participation from everyone in the class, not just the most vocal. In fact, I got a lot of very useful information, not just from your presentation, but from listening to my fellow students share all the answers to the questions that you posed to us. Over the past two years that I've been involved with Online Trading Academy I've gotten to know almost everyone at the Secaucus, and now the New York Campuses, but I really never had the opportunity to get to know you better. I'm glad that changed on Thursday and that I now know what I had suspected all along, that you are a very skilled and experienced trader with the ability to communicate complicated concepts and strategies to those of us that just don't have that knowledge base yet. I'm looking forward to interacting with you more and taking some more classes that you are teaching." Ralph M., April 2010

"Hi Anthony, Just wanted to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed your class. You are an excellent instructor. I learned a great deal from you. I have been a student in so many areas (spent 15 years as a technologist in cardiac surgery and a variety of other disciplines) and you are, perhaps, the best teacher I have come across. I really liked your delivery and message. It cut through so much of the "noise". I do much appreciate the time you gave me and am confident that it will pay off. I hope to be in contact with you again. Thanks so much again." David O., April 2010

"Anthony is fantastic, and I usually don't use accolades lightly. He goes beyond the mechanics and teaches how to interpret situations and conditions so that I can begin "seeing" the higher probability/lower risk trades. He also teaches many techniques to offer a variety of tools in my trading strategy." Jon Y., April 2010

"Anthony Sergi is an outstanding instructor. He mixes technical analysis theory with current day real-time street knowledge. He uses his lengthy Wall Street experiences and real-time trades to demonstrate live trades. An excellent course that serves as a strong foundation for the beginner professional trader." Joe A., March 2010

"Anthony has taught me strong fundamentals on what it takes to be a successful trader. Anthony is a professional in every way, he approaches trading with the right mindset and showed me how he navigates the market very well." Damian, March 2010

"Anthony was outstanding as an instructor. His trading style and explanations fit my trading personality and plans so well. I gained more detail in managing my trades with defined stops and instruction on how to maintain the trade to keep the winners running with educated stop selection. He also explained strategies very well. I don't think I missed a thing." Kathy H., February 2010

"Anthony's style and delivery is excellent. He's knowledgeable, patient, professional and concerned that each student progresses through the class. I feel I have gained 3 years experience in 7 days. Outstanding class." Ron S., February 2010

"Anthony is an excellent instructor. One of the best I’ve seen overall. He managed the material, the class and personalities, kept everyone engaged, added humor, exhibited patience, provided answers to questions and gave great platform and trading examples." Kathleen M., January 2010

"Anthony was excellent! There was never a question that he did not answer fully and he was very available during the class and before and after the class. His calm approach to the subject allowed me to relax and learn!!" Kathy P., January 2010

"Anthony is, in my opinion, a rare find; a very good instructor, knowledgeable and well mannered." Marc T., December 2009

"I really liked the way Anthony broke down the entry, stop and exit processes in trading. He did it in a piece by piece way, so we understood 1 piece before moving on to the next. He was vigilant that all understood before he moved on to the next piece. Partializing in this way was most helpful...all we had to focus on was order entry rather than everything at once. I liked that we used simulation for this, rather than live trading right away. This was extremely well done, and I really understand all the pieces of doing an order under various conditions." Maria C., December 2009

"Anthony's the best! Anthony was very clear and knowledgeable. He presented/organized the class perfectly - allowing you to trade when most valuable (9:30-11:30). He taught practical strategies and didn't beat the manual to death going over every page as printed. He demonstrated live trades as they presented themselves and taught how to seek out those opportunities. Couldn't ask for better." Cheryl C., November 2009

"Anthony is highly knowledgeable about the platform and conveyed it effectively to the class. He was tremendously patient and very accommodating. We spent a lot of time actually using the platform and he made sure we all got it! Excellent! He focused on topics that were essential to trading. Gave practical tips that are valuable. The class was light, fun and extremely informative! He knows his stuff! I can't imagine taking this course with someone else. His focus on strategies and actual trading made it worthwhile. He has a great personality which made the class enjoyable. He should teach in NYC more often. I loved how he focused on actual trading and practical tips. Excellent instructor!" Beatriz B., November 2009

"Anthony is an EXCELLENT communicator. He is patient and personable, and possesses a great deal of knowledge. Very highly recommended." Joe A., October 2009
