Here is my trade today, 15M structure and 1M trigger. It didn't workout so good.

As an aside, I just got a note from Tim that he's now over his 1,000 limit max using GoToWebinar. Over 1,000 members are now following his Monday morning meeting! In here, how many do we have? I know I'm no Tim Morge, that's not my point, it's just that I am so impressed and blown away by how many followers he has, compared to how hard I've worked to get members and how few we've got. I know, it's apples to oranges because they can sign up with no obligation, and to be in here you must first spend about $700 for the books. But still, over a 1,000, during the summer doldrums. Wow, what an operation!

He also has quite a rigorous campaign that puts him on the map. You'll find him at every trade show giving a seminar etc...

Yes, he's trying to be a top name, that's for sure. Quite an impressive enterprise.

nothing you would want to do...

No, not my desired direction at all. But, for him, it must be a good plan. And with a name as big as his, all that monster trading history for central banks and whatnot under his belt, it's just an incredible opportunity for him to make insane money as one of the biggest trading educators out there. Like I said, very impressive.

as long as he makes good business the legal way, I don't see any problem with that.If it's what he enjoys to do, educating people, then good for him...but didn't he have a history of poor health? why would he take on such amount of added work and stress? ...for recognition, fame, more money, power? his motives are his anyway.I don't really care. The style of trading he teaches has now become more 'mainstream' and might self-defeat its purpose the more exposure it gets.He has contributed immensely to the trading culture but his style just isn't for me.I do not feel 'connected'to his flow.I prefer Jim's work as it is more compelling to the way I view things,that's all.But it's just a matter of personal preference and choice. Others, obviously in the thousands, just might feel more receptive to what he has to say or teach. But achieving trading success requires more than just attending seminars or buying books.The ultimate teacher is the market itself.You must listen to it and commit to hard work on your own too.
Just some thoughts

Nice stream of thoughts, T, thanks for posting them.

I have watched Tim a couple of times in seminars and trade shows and it seemed to me that he just enjoys teaching immensely. Maybe that's the motivation. I don't know. Maybe there are people behind him who are handling the whole marketing machine and are also invested in this. Tim can show some really great stuff as we all know. For me there isn't enough detail like in Jim's work for example.
