Testimonials
"What did I like best? Rick's lecturing and surveying charts as a class and showing his trading habits and thinking...excellent."
Whitney R., May 2008
"Rick definitely knows his stuff, he has very strong biases when it comes to trading and he is not afraid to let you know. This is great because it does give one an insight into how a successful professional trader's mind works."
Jimmy Q., May 2008

"I have attended many classes now and have seen the boring to the arrogant - Rick was truly exceptional [and I am a big critic of presentation, leadership & delivery of content]. To manage a class as diverse and ,at times, rowdy as ours with personality and clear outcomes kept totally focused - he was impressive - 7 DAYS! Good grief how amazing to keep the energy, focus & intended outcomes so perfectly in tact. I can't even imagine how he did it...and I think he was still recovering from an illness. He is a keeper! "

"Rick has a great attitude! He is funny and allowed us to have fun, as well. At the same time, he was strict and punctual and expected the same from us. If he is an example of the rest of your instructors, you have a winning combination! " Jerry R., February 2008

"Rick took the time to answer everybody's questions at all times. Very thorough. Rick's attitude throughout our kidding was very congenial and professional." Russ & Cherie W., February 2008
"Rick has a good sense of humor (keeps long class hours fun), and has certainly drilled into my head the essentials (Support / Resistance & Trends). I look forward to my next class with him!" Tamer E., February 2008
"Rick was fun yet professional. His commentary based on his experiences was very beneficial. I always get more out of the courses I take with Online Trading Academy when the instructor has years to decades of experience, especially beyond day trading. Rick's experience was evident and valuable."

"I will not have enough time to sing all the praises of Rick Wright. I am so very impressed by the knowledge that Rick has, as well as his ability to share it. His experience in trading definitely showed in his training style and content delivery. He is an excellent trainer as well. He is very personable and professional at the same time. His explanations of charts, trends and general logic of how the stock market moves will be incredibly valuable to me forever. I would also like to compliment Rick on his ability to understand different accents from around the world, including Paris, Russia, Mexico and the Middle East. There would be questions asked with many different accents and he never had to ask anyone to repeat themselves. I pride myself in being able to understand different accents, but there were times that I didn't understand the question, but Rick would get it every time. BRAVO RICK WRIGHT!! I have thoroughly enjoyed Rick's class and will try to catch him again in the future. Thanks."

"Rick Wright is a superb instructor...extremely knowledgeable, and able to impart his knowledge very effectively. I was very impressed, although he made me realize how much I need to learn. But that is good."
Bruce C., December 2007
"Rick has a confident, knowledgeable way about him. He delivered the class with humor and good "control" of the class (misbehaviors, people making unnecessary comments, etc). Highly recommended."
Yaseng Y., November 2007
"Rick is very knowledgeable in the world of trading. I hope in the future I'll be able to attend another one of his classes."
Randy N., October 2007
"Rick was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any question asked. I especially appreciated that he always fully answered a question asked (even if the person who asked it was able to understand before the entire explanation was through, Rick continued to finish his explanation). Rick sometimes singled out people to answer specific questions which was excellent for keeping us all at the same pace since some were quieter than others."
