TIMES method
- Thread starter caitlin
- Start date
I have attended the free live demonstration they offer. Initially, it looked very good. But when I started asking more questions, the answers seemed to be skirted around a little bit. Here are the questions I asked...
1. Do you trade your account with real money based off the method? They said yes.
2. Asked if I could watch him trade live for a morning or afternoon session? Said they were not able to do because of some sort of CFTC rule...
3. Asked to see an account statement? Again, CFTC wouldn't allow it. Offered referrals of satisfied clients.
4. Can I see a track record of trades based off the method? Sent me some hypothetical result based on marking up the charts at the end of the day.
5. Do they have any sort of money back guarantee? No, said that trading takes time and there is always a chance of losing money.
So though they didn't lie to me in anyway,but they weren't able to provide any satisfactory answers to my question.
I would advise you to ask some of these questions on your own.
I decided not to take the course because of the answers provided and the price they are asking.
In my opinion, why would I buy a method the company doesn't use themself? That doesn't make sense.
Again, this is just my experience.
Here are two other companies I looked into. DTI and Futures Trading Academy. They both trade live in real-time with real money and you can watch. If you do, let us know how it goes.

Frankly, I thought Times was a simple double tap method. Looking for a double bottom or top on a short time frame. I remember that they looked for a 2 point bounce from either setup. In my opinion, a trader could make it work if they had a scanner capable of recognizing the setup early enough to alert you or automate the entry. Would love to hear intelligent comments on how that might be accomplished. Regards, Lefty
I can understand that. There are traders out there who will expect to have the same type of results. That being said, I don't really believe that is the reason why I wasn't given that information. I believe it is because they can't supply the information.
I don't have anytype of mean spirit against them, but I just think they are covering something up. Really, if it is that good, why don't they trade it there self? And if they do, how come the founder and head instructor always teaching during the day. Something just doesn't add up.

I guess there is a lot less risk having 5K handed over to you by
credit card or whatever than actually putting your $$$ in the
futures market ect,... These guys are no dummies...
Even if they only get 3 a day X 5K = 15k a day = 75k a week =
$3,900,000.00 a year. I doubt if they are doing that but if they
were... Why trade at all if big bucks are flowing in and all you have
to do is talk all day long?

If you attend the presentation, you will get pretty much the whole method. Do a search for "TIMES method" in the subject line here on ET, and you will get a bunch of info. I have not attended their training.
