I've been timing the market for over 50 years. Lately I've been making about 150% profit per year. The least I have made during any year was 2008. I made only 11% that year.
Is it possible to time the market?

I cannot find your twitter now, @RandomFour
How are you accomplishing that, you mean your whole trading portfolio has 150% gain pa?
What is your trading style, stocks, futures, options...short term scalping...automated....?
I have been timing the market for only 10 years but making 1500% profit per year. Am I doing it right?
No, you could probably squeeze more from it if you tried harder.

.........................................Some traders can actually predict the market shifts and gain significant advantage over other participants. But for me, it is extremely difficult to gauge the future direction of the currencies.This is why I prefer long term trading.
Yes it is possible if you have good number of experience in this field. I think every trader has experience on different time frames like the one who is scalper always have a appropriate idea of what will happen in that period only. So every trader has different opinion and strategies according to this.
When you write "The market", I guess you mean the S&P 500. It is possible to "time the market" in the sense that a buy and hold strategy with an index fund on the S&P 500 can be outperformed, BUT ... most investors underperform "buy and hold", another words for most investors market timing does not add value but actually substract value
