Gann Swing Trading & Technical Analysis

Full show notes: http://chatwithtraders.com/ep-006-tim-walker/ - - Coming in on episode number six is a trader who I have a great amount of respect for – Tim Walker. I say this because, it wasn’t the first time I met Tim… A couple years back, I had the opportunity of attending an intimate 3 day workshop he tutored. Over these few days, Tim was an open book of trading knowledge and it was clear he knows how to extract a serious profit from the market. With that in mind, I knew I had to have him on the show to share some of those insights with you. In today’s episode Tim consistently deliverers great pointers, especially for those who are technically inclined. He also goes into detail about the influence Gann’s methods have on his own approach to trading. In particular Gann’s ‘50% rule’ which continues to hold weight in today’s market – study and backtest this one, see for yourself. Now there’s a lot to takeaway from this interview, hence the length and the extensive list of lessons below. It may even be a good idea to play it through twice – enjoy! === Lessons Learnt in this Interview: === - The importance of looking at the bigger picture, and trading with the overall trend. - How the effect of positive thinking can rub off on your trading – creating your own luck. - How Tim got a handle on learning to trade, breaking it down one week at a time. And the power of repetition. - Tim shares his (logical) views on fundamentals and news releases, and how the majority are often fooled. Also touching on the impact of emotional trading by the herd. - A breakdown of the steps and process that defines trading. He almost makes it sound simple… - The 50% rule of W D Gann, and how this often calls a change in trend. - The reason why double and tripple bottoms/tops occur, and why they are often a great pattern to trade. - Why it is so important to document your trades. Tim shares how one of his subscribers was able to dramatically increase his profitability by doing this one thing alone. - And much, much more…

7. who in the world sits out a whole month just waiting for a signal ?????Some of these traders just not serious
8. This guy sells a gann course for 599$. Why you dont interview guys that are just traders ? I cant trust the words of a course seller
9. I like how tim points out that the biggest problem for new traders is not knowing what type of market they're in.A setup that works in a trending market is not going to work in a market thats ranging.I wish more traders would talk about this
10. Very generous and honest interview. Thanks to both of you.

15. 28:45 He talks about waiting for the market to be in a position to make a trade, and then awaiting the signal. What exactly is he talking about when he says signal? A particular candle stick? A spike in volume?
16. but it was still a great interview, I just wished he would have touched a bit more about his studies , but very great interview
17. in this interview Tim Walker talks about how he struggled when he first started trading ,and then he talks about how he got out of the market to study a bit more , but the most important part to new traders, is what he studied and he doesn't talk about the nost important part , What a let down .!!! Come on now Tighten up!!!
18. I've listened to the first 6 interviews and so far they are all fantastic but this one with Tim is on the top of my list. I'm blown away by all the valuable knowledge that Tim shared and above all I'm enamored by his positive mindset. Thank you for this most excellent interview.
