Thanks for posting that, it was a great interview.

it's probably your broker, if you use IB or TOS you just click and you got it.

I have my list of stocks that were pumped by a mailer up to about 15 now. and on friday 14 of them had shares to short. I forget which one it was, but only one of them was not shortable. and thinking back I have been following AMEL for about 3 months because I am short that stock. I can...

I gave my address to a few web sites, now I get about one every other week. but you can look at stockreads.com and stockpromoters.com there are also some messages boards who specialize in pumped stocks. and then you can watch the highest volume stocks on the otcbb, if you have any kind of...

well Sykes a real trader, he is up around a gazillion percent. maybe more. :) on his website he has all his trades, and they are all actual trades, if your really interested just google his name. he has some amazing ability to trade 10 of thousands of shares on illiquid stocks and then...

Yes and that is one of the problems, many times there will be a perfect setup and it will be a massive winning trade, and there will be 10,000 shares to short, and Sykes will short 10,000 shares. That leaves zero for anyone else to short so you get to sit around and watch him make 10,000 or...

He posts all his trades in real time, and after watching each trade for 2 years, I have to say he is actually a great trader. The problem is that it's extremely difficult for me to make much if any consistent money from his trades because of the speed of execution needed. You need to be...

I have only tried my strategy 3 times, the two above and I put in an order for CRWG to short at 1.35 the price had climbed to 1.33 at the time so I thought I would just enter a price 2 cents higher and make 2 more cents. Well my order sat there for a month then I canceled it because 1.33...

yeah, I have to agree he is a nut, and a jerk too. but you have to ask yourself how many guys do you know who can make over a million bucks trading stocks and are willing to explain to you exactly how they do it. For me it's a pretty short list.

I have been following Timothy Sykes for a couple years, he is a great trader but I haven't been able to make any money with his trades because I am just not fast enough and I just don't have the ability to trade in and out buying the low and selling the high. I need trades that give me more...

I tried trading USO when those reports come out, but I was never able to find anything that really worked out consistently.

if you have over $25,000 and get daytrader margins it's 4 to 1 so with futures you do get over 4 times more leverage, but if your using market orders and trading like I do then you really need to be trying to make around 2 points or more per trade, and I suck at that. With SPY trades...

one tick covers your commissions on the ES with almost any broker. but if you really want to save on commissions you can trade the SPY and use sogo trade, they are $3 flat and as far as I know that is for an unlimited number of shares. so unlike trading futures where you are charged per...

I just started keeping track of the number of minutes I am in a trade, for today my shortest trade today was 22 seconds, my longest trade was just over 2 minutes. I did just notice a pattern that I didn't know about, after placing a trade I frequently place my next trade at 3 minutes...
