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

In Part 2 of the<\/span> Trader Checklist <\/span><\/i>review episode, Tim and Stephen feature continue discussing various clips:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 7:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Where did Tim Sykes get the idea to rate stocks? He discusses some of his inspiration for rating stocks and how he chose the indicators listed in his Trader Checklist formula; you\u2019ll learn about the CAN SLIM acronym, which every trader should know!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Steady Trade take:<\/b> Tim and Stephen discuss the benefits of an indicator based approach to penny stocks and how while it might seem simplistic, it really does pay off. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 8:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tim addresses how many people think that short selling is a big conspiracy. He uses the example of Sirius XM radio, which many thought was held back from its true potential by scheming short sellers. and explains how that\u2019s not the case at all; it\u2019s all about shares outstanding.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Steady Trade take: <\/b>Tim and Stephen agree: supply and demand is what rules what happens with stock prices going up or down. No matter how much you believe in a company, It\u2019s shares outstanding, float (the shares that are available on the free market), and volume that you need to consider. They discuss why. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 9:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tim talks about a trader he admires and shows some of his public trades before he went pro. He uses this as an example of how to look at a successful trader\u2019s trajectory and methods, and how he or she narrows down his stock choices, and to learn from this information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Steady Trade take:<\/b> By looking at traders\u2019 successes, you can begin to reverse engineer what they did correctly. No, you can never copy any trader to the letter, but you can use their success as a resource and inspiration to form your own method of filtering down trades to meet your personal criteria. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 10:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here, Sykes focuses on the SSS the Sykes Sliding Scale. He\u2019ll introduce you to his PREPARE acronym, which includes things you should look at, including pattern and price, risk and reward, ease of entry and exit, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Steady Trade take:<\/b> Tim and Stephen talk about Sykes\u2019 PREPARE acronym and how valid it is as a checklist, discussing each point and considerations that you as a trader should keep in mind. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip 11:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The more obvious the pattern, the more traders will be interested in taking the same position. So you need an edge, and this requires plenty of study of the past to be prepared for the future. Tim Sykes knows this, so he considers himself a \u201cglorified history teacher\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Steady Trade take: <\/b>Tim and Stephen talk about how charts can help you gain an edge by looking at the past and looking at consistently repeatable things. If everyone is scanning the same stocks, you need to be prepared so that you can be the early bird. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
