5 Ways To Tell You Have A Great Trading Strategy…

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 25th of Nov, 2008 08:06:16 AM

1. You’re up 195% since November 1, 2007 despite trading part-time, spending waaaay more time emailing, blogging, seminaring, coaching, traveling, etc.

2. You have dozens of people who’ve watched your instructional trading DVDs dominating Covestor’s rankings, (seriously, what are the odds when you have 10,000 traders on there?)

3. You send out a massive 28 stock watchlist last night to TIMalert subscribers and get emails like this:

Excellent Tim. Good stuff. I don’t know how you find all this stuff.
Thanks
David in Seattle

4. Oh yeah, this trading strategy is the reason you once turned $12,415 into $1.65 million in 4 years, avoided the market crash 2000-2002 (actually make the 2nd million short selling during that time) and became the #1 ranked Short Bias Hedge Fund Manager 2003-2006 by Barclays.

5. Working waaay too much lately, as usual, you “sleep in” today to 7:40am, just one hour late in order to reserve shares to short of all your potential horts and your Thinkorswim chat representative says:

ira: none on all
ira: ur real late today
Tim: haha yeah
ira: people have been asking all morning
Tim: those r my subscribers!
Tim: ok
Tim: thanks anyway
ira: have a good day

  • yes yngvai and i never had much to say in the first place, i just have a profitable niche strategy, this blog is meant to promote that...once u've already seen/learned that, u can just stay on the premium site as this one isnt that interesting
  • YngvaiMalmsteve
    You missed the point Tim. I'm not saying you should be like all the other financial people in this industry. My point is that you have nothing new to say anymore. I used to read all your blogs in detail because there was always something new. Now it's the same old rehashed statements over and over and over and over and over. Now I hardly come over here, because I already know what you're going to say.
  • yes, yngvai, its called running a publishing business, trading is just the product i publish about and yes i'm going to brag how good my strategy is, u dont like it, go to the loers who are down 30-40-50% and listen to them tell u all their thoughts on the economy...here's we dont speculate on the future, we profit from high probability trading setups, after we've talked about them, there's nothing else to do but brag
  • NOVA
    HAHAHA

    I do think Todd has a point. All your blogs have said the same thing ad nauseam for months now. These are your blogs in a nutshell:

    Buy my DVD blah TIMAlerts blah this joke of an industry blah DVD blah TIMAlerts blah why'd you miss that play you lil bitch blah you need my DVD blah what a bunch of whiny bitches blah blah I'm up 200% blah DVD blah ANALysts blah we're dominating Covestor blah my subscribers are banking blah my DVD blah another TIMAlerts success blah another hater post blah finance gurus are a joke blah DVD blah DVD blah TIMAlerts blah TIMAlerts DVD TimAlerts blah you suck bitches

    I think I got all your blogs covered
  • i could care less about LFG, price/pattern dont interest me in the least
  • xix
    What do you think on LFG Tim?

    Barclays posted an outperform rating on GGP today which is why you see a 50% gap. Crooked analyst said stock is worth $7-$16 a share. LMAO These guys are the #2 mall operators in the U.S and judging by this economy most tenants won't be able to pay their rents.
  • TommyTim
    GGP....short away at 1.77. This company contacted BK attorneys last week. Maximum upside is 2.00 and downside is $.50 a share. Huge payday for all that want it. Very liquid too.

    Tim- you sleep, eat and breathe this strategy-- I would expect nothing but for you to be successful---

    You need a new broker....because Tos, sometimes they just don't have em.
  • alsandair
    haha... classic.

    "Those are my subscribers!"

    ----

    With all the business you threw there way Tim the least they could do is subscribe to your newsletter and reserve everything ahead of time for you. lol.
  • Facts are facts, if you don't toot your own horn no one else will!
  • Nick S
    Haha, More power to ya Tim! Trading is hard work.. no harm in a little gloating when its well deserved! The only people who complain about that are unsuccessful traders.. lol.
  • younggunz
    wow I never get such personal responses from the brokers at ToS. I don't think I've had Ira help me very often if at all.
  • and yes, all 5 points do backup my strategy is great, if you're trading is good, u should be able to gloat too, if u dont go post on elitetrader with all the other losers
  • haha its not about gloating, thats was so 2006, this is making people understand my strategy better...wake up late, get no shares to short...why is that? well thats why u gotta read points 1-4. c'mon follow along little bitches
  • todd
    sometimes this personal gloating gets old Tim. i thought this was going to be a useful post for my trading, but instead it was just trash. c'mon, you can do better with the posts sometimes.
