Good job,
so I wondered how much of this guy is fake and I looked at an April 2019 twitter picture.....the very first picture I looked at seems to be fake too.

https://sykes-wpengine.netdna-ssl.co...to-Look-At.jpg

At first it looks quite ok ....

How realisitc is it that you have two diffrent types of chairs on a balcony in a hotel?
The one he is sitting on doesn't really fit the style.....does it.

So lets check if he is just mated inside this picture....

Look at the brighter section between the black chair and the background.... looks mated for sure.... if you work with photoshop, you can recognize these things easily.

Look at the interface between his hairs and forehead... the filling tool filled out at bit to mutch... ;-)
Again you can see how the interface between him and the background has been clearly worked on....

Wether his glasses reflect the real surrounding is unclear.... you should see the sea, a bright screen of the laptop, at least brighter than the surounding light. Can't recognize that....but the resolution is to small to recognize any details but the greenish tone doesn't really fit. Further more look at the green on the buttom.... looks like a monochrom background color you chose if you work with mating something into another background.... lazy boy didn't bother to fill this last portion correctly....

Conclusion: The picture is fake... he is fake... so how can it be that this guy is getting air time on Larry King, CNBC, Fox, etc..... all these media companies do share some responsibility for "promoting" such guys and create some kind of legitimacy.

By the way the background of the picture is from Oia / Santorini - Here is one from almost the same point of view from the Art Manisons hotel.

So newbies and retail forex traders that believe in profitable retail forex trading....all these guys are fake. All of them.
Retail forex trading is a negative sum game for losers.

so true.

one thing amazes me; is why all his so called **millionnaire students** ends up teaching just like him.

look it Steven Dux; the last of the *millionnaire* students; is teaching; and getting youtube ad fees.

there must be something to this enigma.

hint: search youtube for Tim Sykes interviews; and watch the oldest ones. They are talk about how he is setup to make money from affiliate marketing, youtube posts, hyped interviews, etc. he literally reveals all his secrets. He teammed up with some IT gurus to pump up his online marketing profile. He reported having about $20k a month just from google ads. He openly says that he does not trade anymore; as he is making more money from selling these services to gullibles.

must say Tim Sykes was the most entertaining character in the Wall Street Warriors reality TV show...( and his mom!),
he was "hot" that time, caught the bull market well, and was riding on that fame.
he made money, wrote a book even ( maybe i have uploaded it somewhere here; if not can if someone want to read it), and went onto the risk free but lucrative field of "teaching".
the fame is long gone.
his 'last' YT ad he sits with a cheap laptop and supposedly 10k ( not fake looking!) cash, admitting that he made 7 figure profits in the past ( proven fact actually), and had lost 6 figures ( a fact also).
frankly, if this is what someone wants to spend for, buys into the obviously faked, cheaply done lifestyle videos ( least faus4 had them edited better, plus in many had a really sexy gf too, lol)....then it doesnt bother me anymore than those who buying the 1000$ ice cream sundae in NY, etc.
learning from Sykes still can still be a pretty good deal compare to a nigerian prince's heritage, or even to buying into a timeshare
there is always, always another trade!!

we know that Tim was legit at some point in time; but not anymore.

in fact; during the airing of the wall street warriors; he had lost already 40% of his fund; and was forced to close down. He admitted that he was drinking a lot during airing of those shows.

I personally learned some stuff from his and his student/teachers' videos. but I always ask myself the question; "why all these successful bunch; are teaching and charging $1000s of dollars for their videos".

they are basically selling a dream to gullibles. having edited all those photos in photoshop; makes me wonder even more.

Hi, photoshop can/will be the downfall of many wannabee scammers.
you will find the best ones are the guys who rent or view an apartment, flash car,boat,jet and just take legit fotos for free or just give the salesperson a few £££/$$$.

I agree. Also, one wonders at the intellect of the sheep who flock to these con artists.Take any successful trader making a lot of money - why would he need to spend time seeking clients to share his "luxury" lifestyle? Rhetorical, I know, since a staple of advertising is showing the size of the cheese in the mouse trap
Beggars belief the stupidity and naivety of lemmings but still they lap up photo's of expensive cars etc before rushing off their financial cliff. Perhaps the targets of such scams are lazy people who seek reward for little effort or the truly naive ?
