Full show notes: chatwithtraders.com/ep-006-tim... - - 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!
