About <\/b>Trader Checklist <\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trader Checklist<\/span><\/i> is a video by Tim Sykes which features 14 chapters of invaluable trading information. For each category and indicator covered, he\u2019s set a numerical value of importance. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows traders to prioritize in their research findings and gives a framework to determine the importance of various indicators.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featured clips<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the episode, Tim and Stephen feature and discuss various clips from the DVD:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 1:<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the intro, Tim Sykes explains how <\/span>Trader Checklist<\/span><\/i> is a guide to help you prepare before risking your money. It offers a way to choose the best stocks to trade and to handle them properly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Steady Trade take: <\/b>Hosts Tim and Stephen discuss Tim\u2019s history and how the fact that he never had a mentor is a powerful part of why this video is so amazing: he is imparting exactly the knowledge he wishes he had when he was first starting out as a trader.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 2: <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tim Sykes never promised you a rose garden with trading, but rather a real-life education. Don\u2019t expect it to be easy, though!  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SteadyTrade take: <\/b>As hosts, Tim and Stephen agree, Tim Sykes\u2019s honesty is sometimes harsh but also refreshing. The failure rate is real, and trading can be difficult. Don\u2019t expect a lollipop! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 3:<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tim posts his track record on screen and talks about it candidly. His percentage earnings are pretty crazy and it is tempting to think it is too good to be true…is it? Can these methods be scaled?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SteadyTrade take: <\/b>In the scheme of things, trading penny stocks is still a small sector, and that this fact allows the returns to be dramatic at times. But only if you approach trades with the right mindset and are very willing to do your research!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 4:<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As Tim Sykes warns, trading isn\u2019t Vegas. You shouldn\u2019t be trading for the action or for the thrill. As he explains, he wants you to come to a win rate equal to that of his best students, which can range as high as 60 to 70 percent**, and he explains what it takes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SteadyTrade take: <\/b>Stephen agrees failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Sticking to the plan and being consistent can be boring especially since new traders are so addicted to the adrenaline. He and Tim speak about how to avoid this common pitfall.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 5: <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tim never relies on hot tips. His indicators protect him from losses and improve his odds of success in every trade. That is his motivation with investment. He suggests investing in your odds of success by educating yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SteadyTrade take: <\/b>It\u2019s common for new traders to just want to follow the latest tips via twitter or alerts services. But don\u2019t fall into that trap. You need to build a personal case for your trade. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 6: <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The indicators are so complicated, how can I keep on trading and keep track of all of them? How do I know what is working? As Tim Sykes admits, this is tough and takes time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SteadyTrade take: <\/b>Things begin to come together as you gain more knowledge about trading<\/a>. Something begins to happen when you develop your style, and you\u2019re better able to use the indicators to help figure out a plan. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
