Surf do you actually read what this clown writes? He is going to be in heaven when the mkt rallies? He...umm...sells into strength. Too funny...Tim and his big 2000 share orders holding the mkt down. When this mkt goes into bull mode, he will get slaughtered like he did before. He is a one trick donkey show. He whines on his site how he left ET because nobody understood his complex ways.....too funny. The problem is..on here there are actually experienced traders who called him out......he got flustered and left with his tail between his legs. He now caters to the new/uniformed trader who drinks his kool aid. Any person with any mkt experience realizes how limited his strategy is. Too bad he doesnt have the guts to post on here and now hides on his little site like the true coward he is. I miss the curly haired punching bag.
Hopefully his suscribers don't realize this...paying a guy money for a 'skill' that generates him less than minimum wage.
Exactly....the guy has a flawed strategy that can only be traded in tiny size....then goes out and blabs about it. All that hard work to make 25k a year.....Sykes would be better off working the fry-o-lator at McDonalds.
Okay: a) Why is this thread not in chit chat? b) It doesn't count as defending your friends when you start the fucking thread you retard. You can't start a thread about Spammmmay and then when he gets picked apart start saying you're defending him. You started this thread to spam. You are not defending him. P.S. Remember when you wrote that glowing review of Covel's Trend Following book and then changed your mind because you decided you wanted to kiss Vic's ass and act like you didn't believe in trend following? Kept trying to get it taken down and all that. What a trip. LMFAO!
This is just another shameless Tim Sykes promotion with marketsurfer as the shill. This thread should be deleted.
lmao, 26K a year. why even bother waking up in the morning. thats just enough money to rent a room in your parent's basement. not that 26K is a small amount. it would be great for someone in their first year of trading. but not for someone who has been trading 8 or whatever years.... pathetic
Is Tym Sykes up more than 100k from his trading in 2008? If not, I am unimpressed... 195% return without stating acct size makes me think he took 10k to 30k (that is very very easy to do, I don't care what you guys say, it's easy)... I took a 5k prop firm deposit to 6 figures in less time than Sykes... in 10 months... so what? That's minimum acceptable performance for this profession. If I went around to my colleagues talking about my "earth shattering 2000%+return," everyone would look at me like a douchebag. Why are the standards so low? This is daytrading folks... in the best market conditions since 1999, possibly even better market conditions for some... historical once in a century volatility... Market Surfer, can you please explain how you find his performance impressive?
Hmmm Marketsmurf master market caller is "defending" Timmay and getting a hard on for $26k or so in earnings. Well I can understand that since $26k is more than Smurf has made in trading. Birds of a feather flock together.
The thing is prado, timmmay is not selling this method to professional traders. his audience is the average joe looking to supplement their income--- nothing wrong with that. there are plenty of people who an extra 10k/year even will make a world of difference. surf
its a capacity constrained strategy, i will give you that. however, for the average joe, making a little extra coin is all that is wanted.
