Timothy Sykes | Author of An American Hedge Fund

Anyone who is considering a career as a trader in the
securities business needs to read the book An American Hedge
Fund. It is the honest, real-life story of what a
trader will face in the quest for success. The author
clearly outlines the joy and exhilaration felt after making
positive trades, but he also includes the fear and anger
that inevitably comes with making the wrong choices. This
story describes the financial triumphs and losses and the
emotional ups and downs of the game. Tim does an accurate
and effective job of telling it like it is

Trading Philosophy

As a trader and student of the market for 35 years, I know that the bar formed on a daily chart is a summary of the collective thinking of every buyer and seller who has traded in that stock. It is displayed as a single bar with a high and low for the day. By stringing together a series of days, we see that the collective thinking takes on a specific pattern or shape. Within these shapes lies the message that defines the next move. Experience also tells me that stocks move from support to resistance and vice-versa. A "reasonable expectation" of a move is between 15%-20%. There are exceptions but most stocks move 20% before the risk/reward ratio changes. In the early stages of the formation, I identify the direction of the move that is about to take place. The earlier the move is identified, the greater the profit, plain and simple.
