They thought I\u2019d lose it all, but instead, I spent hours in the computer lab, learning how to trade.<\/p>\n<p>I started with mutual funds and other more traditional types of investments, but when I realized that the best I\u2019d ever earn was 8-20% a year in returns, I knew there had to be something better out there.<\/p>\n<p>That led me to the world of pennystocking. I made some good calls and some bad ones, but the most important thing was that I learned how to read charts and track companies to find the patterns I knew I could trade in order to turn a profit.<\/p><div id=\"inves-1042312451\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p>Instead of going the traditional college route, I found myself skipping classes to trade penny stocks and launch my hedge fund, which was the #1 ranked short bias fund by Barclay for 3 years before I realized that my trading strategy wasn\u2019t very scalable. I tried to take advantage of longer-term trading strategies and my fund lost 35% in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Despite feeling pretty embarrassed about my situation, I had still turned my initial $12,415 dollars into $1.65 million dollars by my college graduation. I agreed to make an appearance on the documentary, \u201cWall Street Warriors,\u201d where I wound up starring in 5 of the 6 episodes of the first season, although I was growing increasingly frustrated that the restricted hedge fund industry prevented me from answering any of the questions I was receiving about my trading strategies.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, I said \u201cscrew it\u201d and wrote a book detailing my experiences, called \u201c<i>An American Hedge Fund<\/i>\u201d. I decided to take things even further by launching a publishing company and a blog that would detail my trading activities and give me a way to launch my brutally honest financial newsletters and instructional DVDs.<\/p>\n<p>Since launching my first blog, I\u2019ve published thousands of posts (8,000+ at last count) and demonstrate EXACTLY how I\u2019ve taken my latest brokerage account to $213,026 and counting\u2014a gain of more than 1,500%.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been ranked the #1 trader out of 60,000+ investors on Covestor, and I\u2019ve been featured on <a style=\"color: #5e8bc6; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/tim.ly\/gritcnn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>CNN Money<\/i><\/b><\/a>, <a style=\"color: #5e8bc6; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/tim.ly\/tstgfox2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>Fox &amp; Friends,<\/i><\/b><\/a> and pretty much every <a style=\"color: #5e8bc6; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timothysykes.com\/press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>major business and financial news outlet<\/b><\/a> out there.<\/p>\n<p>In my spare time, I love to travel.
