Remember true options trader Phil Davis’ computer setup?

Michael Goode, aka Reaper, was scalping so much, he had to order a special-made setup for his injured self.

Well, the photos below have been making the rounds, I forget who people say they belong to and while they’re no doubt impressive, you don’t need anything like that.

I now trade with just over $44,000, up 255%+ in the last 1.5 years, hahaha yeahhhh you can learn how to grow your small accounts right HERE, and all I do is trade with 1 simple Macbook Pro from ISellMac.com.

Bigger account-holders probly need 2-3 screens, but in no way will any of you ever need to go out and buy these things, as cool as they might look:

I wonder what is the monitor-to-income ratio. In other words, do people who use 2 monitors to trade make over 100K whereas 5 monitor people make over 500K?

Coen

The bottom one is a fake

Here's the link to my blog post on my setup: http://www.goodevalue.com/2009/01/14/my-new-erg...

You really get diminishing turns after the second monitor. But a second monitor will make almost anyone more productive no matter what they do.

Interesting...Google could be in talks to buy Twitter: http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/provider/provi...

Geez doesn't anyone in finance know about virtual desktop? I can understand 2-4 screens but after that you're just being stupid. Yeah if you happen to get freebies along the way and keep adding them but going out and buying 5-10 matching monitors is just bad money management. You could have just as well got a pile of coke and stuffed your face in it Tony Montana style while you're at it.

Virtual desktop allows you to switch between several screen on the same monitor. Windows sometimes gets goofy with it but it works great on Linux...If Linux were a little more user friendly it would be far superior to Windows or Mac.

Hey Tim is livestock on today?

This is the coolest setup I've seen:

http://scopelabs.net/lab.html

And the house is cool too. It's not some gay opulent room with custom cabinetry...nor is it some dorky card-table setup. Myself, I just use a laptop in internet cafes...can't stand being in an office.

younggunz

When I see that scopelabs site I understand what Tim means when he says traders are a weird bunch.

alex

Yeah, it's wierd. But I can't decide which is wierdest...picture of Sykes with a wierd smirk and holding money or picture of G. Simmons pointing guns at you.

younggunz

Tim is relatively normal...Yeah that was a pretty cheesy photo shoot though with the fancy suit and red tie.

alex

FAS is a potential short on this weak volume break-out to 6.80s

mark

"But I can’t decide which is wierdest"

easily the guns. confidence and money make sense for Tims site.

a ton of bots probably just picked up that email at alex..yahoo. i made a mistake of posting my email on the net and it still gets randm spam

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
