The Official Brian Shannon & Tim Sykes Full Day Seminar, February 21st, 2009

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 17th of Dec, 2008 04:02:43 PM

Step right up, get your tickets below because this special $997 rate ends January 15th, 2009, after that we’re raising it to $1297.

signup1 The Official Brian Shannon & Tim Sykes Full Day Seminar, February 21st, 2009

In case you’re not one of the 7,000+ daily visitors to Brian’s trading blog Alphatrends.net, here’s an interview I did with him.

We’re not gonna have tons of freebies a long sales sheet or promise to make you rich if you sign up, neither of us care to go the polite snakeoil salesman route because we know we have something of value to offer. Trading is hard work but those willing to sift through all the BS, ignorance have solid odds of making money one opportunity at a time. It’s all about knowing what to look for to getting the odds on your side…

With over thirty years of combined trading experience–I have one decade and he’s got two–and the vast majority of them ridiculously profitable for both of us, we have tons and tons of battle-tested trading knowledge, rules and lessons learned over time that we can and do pass down to you guys.

Of course blogs and videos are limiting, in person is a whole different story, just ask those who attended my full day Vegas seminar

After all, Brian’s awesome book has been voted as one of the top 10 trading books (see my review of it HERE) of all-time and my book is the quickest trading-related read of all-time!

Here’s the details for the event:

Location: TBA, somewhere nice in Manhattan

Date: Saturday February 21st, 2009

Time: 9am-5pm, open bar cocktail party afterwards that will go to who knows when for all seminar participants. Open bar will only last a few hours, we don’t want to encourage people to drink and trade.

Program: Brian’s gonna speak for 4 hours, I’ll interject every now and then then I’ll speak for 4 hours and Brian and anyone else can interject until their hearts content. We’ll also have a nice lunch…it’s gonna be a great learning environment.

Program: We’re each gonna talk about the charts, discipline, variables, psychology that we use each and every day to make index and other trader crushing returns…more details coming in the next few days/weeks…basically you’re gonna learn everything we know so you cna apply it to your own trading.

Expected Turnout: Who knows, our expectations are for anywhere between 20-100 people…we’ll see how many people wanna see everything and ask us questions/get answers live in person. But we’ll do it anyway even if we have just a handful…

Comment below if you have any questions whatsoever, we’ll answer everything on this page/post so there’s no confusion whatsoever and we put on the most transparent/useful trading seminar ever!

  • and no my strategy aint scalable for me because i'm not a great trader, just a good one which is why my products are good not great...but in an industry full of frauds and cowards, good is excellent
  • danny, your lack of research is astounding, the stocks arent illiquid and i dont trade against my subscribers, just wait for your blog post, go learn to read in the meantime, hooked on phonics worked for some other trders on elite, let me know how it goes
  • danny
    Tim,


    If you were any good you would still be running your hedge fund instead of peddling books and other fluff.................................................................................................................................................................
  • danny
    Tim,


    First, I don't hate you.

    Secondly, by sharing your trades in these illiquid stocks, the stock starts to move immediately in YOUR favour. People trying to follow you ,will never get
    the fills you got. In fact, by the time the last follower is shorting your stock, you are already covering your trade for a profit thanks to all the suckers who followed you. Their loss is your profit. So, yes, you are a blood sucker despite your "sharing"

  • and i'm a blood sucker by sharing all my trades, patterns and results openly?
  • Snake Oiler
    danny your assumptions and inability to do proper research is maddening, prepare for a full blog post to show just how dumb u and the vast majority of my haters are, seriously this stuff is laughable, u shouldnt be allowed to drive a car

    We don't hate you TIM . We just wanna help the noobs stay away from the blood suckers.

    Tim,


    You made 250 % on a small amount because penny stocks don't have liquidity to trade size.

    No serious trader is trading in penny stocks, serious traders trade markets with a LOT of liquidity.

    Well, if you short a penny stock and subscibers follow your trades , you are guantanteed that it will drop because of the low liquidity , that's what it is called MANIPULATION.

    Try to make 250 % in LIQUID markets if you want to be taken seriously.

    If you are a newbie and want to compress the learning curve then go to the seminar if the cost is a very low % of your capital because time is money. If you want to buy the books and watch the videos and apply what you learn for at least a year go for it. If you are a more experienced trader buy the material and incorporate it into your trading. It's akin to lawyers and accountants whom we pay a lot of $ for their knowledge because if time is money we don't want to read law books or accounting rules to figure things out. Having said all of that do the numbers, 100 people at roughly a $1,000 a pop thats $100,000 before hotel expenses, or $50,000 each for Tim and Brian. That's not bad for a 1/2 days work. It'll pay for Tim's girlfriend's rock she wants or pay for college for a year for one of Brian's kids. Trading is very grinding work (especially off of 1 minute charts) and they both work hard, but it has its ups and downs. Getting paid for your market knowledge is a way to even out the downs. I agree on audited results because you want to see if their "method" works, but having said that you can give 100 traders the same method and ALL will have different P/L's ala the Turtles. A seminar is good in a sense that you can pick up subtleties that a book does not deliver (and it is in the subtleties that the pros get paid on), but then again that will take years of market experience to apply it anyway. At the very least buy the material and learn, never stop educating yourself as a trader.
  • blah blah blah your comments on this are pretty much all boring, those who want to learn how to trade come, those who want to whine, post on my blog and give me more hits, welcome to my biz model
  • greymatter
    Tim we know you do your best, and you even know some people ARE trying to jump into your trades, evident from the fact that you skip plays that go by too quickly for an alert, and that you wait hours before covering.
  • be the ball
    Holy Shit Tim! Don't let these fucking losers get you down.

    I am not your biggest fan because the self-promotion wears me out.

    But I do recognize that you work your ass off for your subscribers to provide good picks and education.

    If you morons don't want to come to the seminar, don't fucking come. Nobody is forcing you to, you idiots. Go back to earning your money giving $5 handjobs at the truckstops and quit wasting Tim's time.
  • Ryan
    Some of these comments are priceless. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the most successful people in any given field are NEVER the best teachers of that field. Teaching is a skill in and of itself and if you are good at it, you should get paid to do it. I know the sentiment here has something to do with the level of crap out there by "gurus," but if these guys are good teachers they should get paid to do their jobs. This obsession with audited results is just so unnecessary, especially if you have any idea of what Brian can teach you. What he is best at explaining doesn't require his results to understand, it doesn't even require him to be an active trader. He doesn't teach a complete method in and of itself that you can follow and make money. Methods are a dime a dozen, real info takes work and is much harder to get. Of course you can get most everything from the videos/books, but maybe some people don't learn well that way...is that out of the realm of possibilities?

    If there is one thing I have learned by watching/reading Brian's stuff, is that I will never listen to someone who has a clear cut prediction of where the market is going. This obsession with results and being right is just so unnecessary.
  • jason, wear whatever u want, ab, oh well, enjoy your uneducated trading, try not to lose too much!
  • brian's too busy to deal with all the meatheads--i'm busy too just less mature--and here's an offensive comment, if u dont like our strategies/seminars, dont come!
  • JeePee
    Damn would love to attend! will have to check with my work but will definitely try. Would be great if I find an excuse as ticket Dubai JFK will cost me at least, what, 1500 bucks?! Still I will try. Tim and Brian are the best, full stop!
  • yes POL, the majority will fail but does that mean people shouldnt try? i have dozens of multi-thousand dollar profit testimonials out of hundreds of customers, not a bad ratio...its kinda tough to lose/not succeed when i'm right 80-90% of the time in my niche
  • yes there are starts everywhere, but very few closers...you underestimate how much 8 hours of commentary from 2 proven profitable traders can help
  • Prince Of Light
    I did not say everything. It's a start, the core of trading. There are lots of profitable setups and stratergies. But not many have the self control and discipline to trade them. I could show a very simple setup to 100 people, 95 of them would mess it up.
  • wow everything u need to know abotu trading in 4 simple rules? if only it were that easy...POL, try blogging/teaching for a year and see how lost most people are, a 1 day seminar cnt cure them of everything but it'll certainly help and the cost is far cheaper than any lesson the market will teach...and the market doesnt give a complimentary DVD of the lesson too!
  • $29/month is altruistic...for putting up with this crap i should be charging $99.

    PS all the great music in the world is freely available on the net, why do people still pay hundreds/thousands to go to concerts? its about quality and enjoyment, live music is often more enjoyable just as its more enjoyable to reap greater profits if u understand trading better...the 90% of traders who lose $ should be banging down our doors, but most are degenerate gamblers who dont even realize they have a problem...sad...we are here to help
  • Prince Of Light
    I love the way these people say they are altruistic but charge $29 a month.
    hehe.
  • johnny
    it's been almost a year since i started watching Brian's posts, you don't understand that his work is for mature traders: those who understand that there's no one system that works all the time, but a constant and permanent assesment of the market direction, and flexible mind.
    In the beginning, when i was watching him on you tube i waited that brian will give his clear and cut sentiment of the next move...but it doesn't work like this!!
    5 years after i started trading i finally made sense of the market behavior, thank's to brians book, i started see things in a total different way, no more searching of the holy indicator. and then few weeks after i took his webinar for about $200 , before he launched his book, and i did actually make money!! it was the most gratifying sensation, it was really unbelievable.
    what you don't understand is that deep inside you are TO LAZY to put time and effort to REALLY understand market action, yes, MA's are not sexy, neither are volume bars, but this is the truth revealed to me
    sorry for my bad english
    so thank you brian for your great work, i would be glad to participate in the seminar with Mr Sykes and you
    but first, i'm far far away from the US, and second i'm a shomer shabat, and no working in shabat....
  • and @12:47am, how is it snakeoil to be up 249% this year, all verified? do u forget that not 1 in 10,000 stock mutual funds is up this year? some of u guys are real clowns, u don't deserve the hard work brian and i put in and if u treat real traders like this, eventually we'll lose patience and you'll be forced to give into the typical non-live-blogging trading schools that charge many thousands more, seriously, each and every day i find more and more "people" to dislike in this joke of an industry, its amazing when you try to do something to help people u get shunned...i guess i understand, lots of bitterness from the people who havent learned the proper way to make $
  • so you spend $3k and if u follow the rules and have an account over $10k, u make it back in a few good trades...this is why 90% of traders lose $, people just don't understand risk-reward..PS i trade 1 account and its up 249% this year, i have no time for other trading, and you'll realize the err of your ways next year when I'm up a similar amount and my seminar prices have tripled
  • Tim...be careful LOL
  • betheball
    holy shit, tim, where the hell did all these haters come from!

    if you don't want to attend the seminar, then don't! stay at home and jerk off to online porn in your mothers basement like you usually do.

    jeez, brian is a good guy who posts interesting stuff for free. And Tim is not so bad for a cheap-ass jew, and his girlfriend is hot so he must be doing something right...

    I won't be at the seminar as the timing is difficult for me and I have a newborn...but I would rec. it to any newbies looking to learn a ton in a short time.

    Tim, I would suggest at the very least that attendees get both of your books....
  • the simple fact is the guy has 7000 daily readers not because he spams or does anything to promote himself other than work his ass off each and every single day...if people lose $ they stop coming to his site...his site is growing by leaps and bounds, figure it out
  • hah, $1k is hardly anything to pay for good information these days, brian is waaaaay more credible than u believe
  • PS how is it snaekoil when we each have platforms now where we share our trades and profits in realtime...save your snakeoil accusations for those trading coaches, and i use that term loosely, without blogs...funny that i even have to bring this up again but it shows the great ignorance in this joke of an industry
  • value is us reinforcing solid lessons again and again and tackling them from new angles...of course chatting at the cocktail reception helps as the fact that we're gonna pla off each other, as we agree and disagree on various topics, always good to hear 2 opinions
  • Dan
    I haven’t quite been informed with Tim’s work in depth {aside from what i have seen through the media, and wall street warriors} But what I can say is that I have followed Brian's work for over a year, and I have his book. Every Trader Inexperienced , Experienced, should purchase the book. You can learn a lot. Trading is more than just booking returns. Its about consistency, risk management , control. Psych plays a big role. Brian is one of the most disciplined traders I have seen, he explains things very simply and will no doubt in my mind provide anyone with a plethora of information and strategy that will blow your mind away.
  • Jason
    I think this is a great deal - saw Shannon speak at the traders expo and it was great inspiration and great knowledge. I would def pay to see him talk again and explain his charts - and ofcourse, Tim is always worth watching live.... i'll sign up shortly. Thanks for putting this together. looking fwd to it.
  • Jorge
    Hi Tim,

    What real, actual, added value do you see in giving a live seminar, vs a book/webinar, apart from asking questions? I'm sure the seminar is good, but what is Brian going to say that he hasn't said in his book already? Same about you.

    Best trading,

    Jorge
  • Ernest
    I would gladly pay the $997 for a day of one-on-one training with masters like Brian Shannon or Tim Sykes, but not for a general conference. I have been to too many of conferences in New York and Chicago that promise great things. While they have been informative, they have not really given me enough new knowledge to really improve my trading and make me successful. Sorry!
  • i'll tell u why, trading is not steady/consistent, some weeks you'll make waaay more than others, its also addictive and takes your life away...but if u control it and teach others--considering 90% of this joke of an industry loses--you're not only doing good, helping yourself and others, you get a steady income stream...i dont want to trade your $, i want to teach u to trade your own and actually do well for once
