TideTraders

What happened to Tidetraders???

I am writing this because me and another member are going to be cancelling our memberships. What happen to this place? I have been a member for over a year and some months. The staff of Tidetraders is completely gone. JP left after JP and Rick argued in front of all the members one day, after which Rick made a mockery of JP on air, of course immature. Witchdoctor gone after Rick bad-mouthed him for no apparent reason on air. Sharp all of a sudden had computer problems one day and never to be seen again in the members room. Shawn put in his resignation as well. Am I seeing a trend here? One can only come to the conclusion that Rick is as immature as a business partner as he is on air. He used to be different, now the place has become a complete pitch of the site to get more members. Its starting to feel very desperate. I write this because no answers have ever been given and no one knows anything. Of course, Rick can bad mouth all 4 of these people to make himself look right on air but I would like to know more details then just from his lying mouth.

When is Tiny going to leave? Just wondering?

Thank you TideTraders, I'm on my way!

Two weeks ago, I put on a trade with a $200 stop loss and let my plan play out. Truth be told, it feels a little weird/refreshing to even say that I have a plan now…

Today, I sit $3025 richer off of that single trade. Not a bad risk to reward. What makes that so special? It was MY trade, and it would not have been possible without Rick and the TideTraders help. After closing the position and taking my profit, I felt like a little kid who just realized his ‘ol man let go of the bicycle seat and he was finally riding under his own power. Surely I will have my wobbles in the future and may even fall off the bike – but I now know that the bike can be ridden and I have the map to get where I want to go.

So, I thought it high time to leave a review here, the same place I found TideTraders in the first place.

If you’re like me, you want to become a better trader – either to supplement your income or simply set yourself free from the leash of corporate America and blaze your own trail.

By now you’ve probably searched high and low and have reached a state of virtual numbness and utter distrust from the dizzying array of thousand-dollar-a-month websites, indicator packages, and the endless waterfall of snake oil that’s out there.

That was me about nine months ago – the type of “investor” that routinely dumped money into whatever came out of Jim Cramer’s mouth, with no understanding of why I should take a trade or when to get out. After making a conscious decision to change my ways and quit the “90% Club” of “traders” who lose their money, I sought help.

I actually found TideTraders through these very Investimonial reviews in the middle of last year. I was skeptical at first but with the trial 2-week membership, there was literally nothing to lose. After two weeks of solid all-day education, I got more than a monthly $30’s worth in terms of both knowledge and real profit. I soon signed up for a membership and have not looked back since.

TideTraders is not simply a place where you can get a watch list to trade each week on autopilot - although you certainly could (see below). The education you get with Rick is unparalleled in my opinion. From before the market opens until after the closing bell, Rick will teach you how to fend for yourself. He truly does offer an evidence-based approach that teaches a trader to look at what professionals are looking at.

In essence, you will learn to trade like a professional. You will learn the speed of the market, how to be disciplined and wait for a trade, and how to use probability and odds in your favor (yes, they do exist) in order to make yourself one of the folks who takes money out of the market instead of giving it to someone else.

Granted, you may not be able to sit in front of a monitor all day (I work from home so I’m lucky in that regard)…. Even if you have a regular 9-5, Rick’s weekly commentary videos, Night Drive classes, and watch lists alone are well worth the price of admission. They will teach you how to view the market from a big picture down to a smaller one – something the “90%” of retail traders lose sight of amongst the bells and whistles of CNBC headlines and market action. This is invaluable for people like my former self, a full-time company man trying to turn a 401k into a safe retirement.

Simply using the weekly commentary by itself would save, and indeed earn, boatloads of money by allowing you to properly shift your 401k to adjust for larger market moves.

If you’re like me and looking to master the art of technical analysis to better pick your own trades, Rick provides not only great picks each week with entries, targets, and stops, but also outstanding weekly videos outlining his setups in great detail so you can begin to understand why you would take a trade, when to take it, and how to go about identifying similar setups. Something I’m finally start to do for myself after years of having a sideways if not shrinking 401k and trading account.

If you take the resources provided to you – whether it’s the day-to-day live analysis offered on-air or the vast catalogue of educational videos, charts, studies, etc. – you WILL become not just a trader, but a BETTER trader. You will learn to look at the market and see its cycles, it’s ebbs and flows, and the kind of moves that have proven themselves time and time again over the course of the last century if not hundreds and thousands of years. You will learn to look at things like seasonality and understand it’s impact on the market and how that might affect your trade, things like inter-market relationships, proper money management, and so on. The list goes on and on.

In short, you will see the market slow down, much like a professional athlete would describe the speed of the game changing as their skill level advances.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have also opted for personal coaching with Rick and it has clearly returned more than enough on my initial investment. We had a very lengthy discussion where we talked about my goals, weaknesses, strengths and more. I have since been moving forward as a student with a comprehensive plan and a teacher/mentor that is undoubtedly proving to be worth the investment.

I may soon enter into Forex as well and take advantage of Ash’s broadcast from the UK – another TideTrader contributor who’s doing his thing all-day long. There’s also Tiny’s broadcast for short-term momentum trades which I’ve enjoyed a number of times, but I will readily admit I’m partial to the swing trades Rick is covering (more my time frame according to my trade journal).

All told, it would be difficult in my opinion to lose money on this trade: If you can’t make back the $30 for a monthly membership inside of 30 days, you’re doing something drastically wrong. It may be tough to admit, but you’re either not paying attention, being an impatient cowboy of a trader, or simply getting in too deep too fast. It’s okay to admit defeat, I know I did.

However, if you’re willing to commit the time and absorb as much as you can from Rick and his staff, you will learn and you will earn from a dedicated workhorse of a mentor and team- one that is both literally and figuratively invested in your education and the building of your skill set. They also have a great community of traders that work with each other to share and trade ideas, which is refreshing in the seemingly dog-eat-dog environment of trading.

TideTraders is an incredible place that has certainly changed my trading for the better. Rick and his staff are welcoming, supremely insightful, engaging and above all, profitable. I could not be happier with my investment - for I am finally learning how to ride the bicycle.

DISCLAMIER: Trading is not easy and if you’re starting from scratch there’s a lot to learn. There is a reason that 90% of people lose money. You will not become a wildly profitable trader overnight - but making the conscious effort to get serious about your education and understanding of the market will certainly get you closer to that end. TideTraders will give you the tools necessary to make money where others lose it, IF you’re willing to put in the time to learn how to use them.

P.S. I can’t go without mentioning the importance of keeping a detailed journal of your trades with honest critique of where you went wrong and what you would change next time. Without one, you’re bound to repeat the same mistakes.

Happy trading!

The Best........Period!

Hey Rick,

I just wanted to let you know where I've been. I came to your site and started with the Members Room, then progessed to the Coaching session and on from there. I took in a lot of great information, but something inside of me still wanted to "see" what else was out there. So, I took the last 5 months and looked around and joined several other sites. I picked up a few things, but nothing worth mentioning. Overall, I discovered, that this place of learning you have created, is simply the best....hands down! I still use the set up information that you provided for my everyday trades, and the outstanding help and support from other TideTrader members is unparalleled. Thanks again for all that you do to help all of us become the traders that we have always dreamed of!

Tide Traders Rocks!

I have investigated over 50 services and tried a number of them. Rick is exceptionally skilled and honest and transparent. This is the best performing directional service I have found. I echo all the great comments about Tide Traders below.

A few notes for considering subscribers that will help you evaluate the fit to your needs.

1) He is more focused on education than mindless alerts. Sometimes I wish for mindless alerts. He does post his trades in the trade box which is a chat room. However, that is not as nice convenient and attention getting for people who are not watching the trade box during the day. Following his trades works best if you are near the trade box ready to trade during market hours.

2) He is an active trader. He often gets in with a very tight stop at just the right moment, so entries matter. He monitors and uses the daily oscilations to time his entries. He may hold a stock for the intermediate term (though I have not seen more than 3-4 weeks). However, he got in at just the right moment in the day, and he may have added at other critical moments over the hold.

3) He may have a long term plan, but he tends to trade swing trades. Getting in and out on the swings. Sometimes keeping half of the position as it pulls back. He trades a large account and this pays off for him. You don't have to be as active as he is however and he reviews and watches many stocks you could totally take and be successful with.

4) He uses the futures to actively hedge his portfolio against daily or several day pull backs. He also trades futures trades that are not hedges. He usually states why he is in.

5) Many important comments about his observations and expectations for the market are only spoken over the livestream and not written. You really should listen in the pre-market morning to find out what the plan is for the day. Listening to the audio makes a difference in your understanding of what he is doing and what would be best for you to do. Again, his end goal is instruction, not typing everything out for members to read later who are not available to trade the market.

People with a small account may need to have a good alternative plan because you could get eaten up by the fees if you are just getting in and out with small swing gains or selling half after entering a few days earlier. You will also need to consider if you want to hedge and how you will do that. You should also think about whether you can trade actively or get the trade posts in a timely mannor.

His main goal is to teach you to make your own decisions. He is an awsome person to learn from, especially if you have a more reactive style. If you like to just get in whenever and less frequently and deal with lots of drawdown before your pick finally takes off in your direction, you could still trade his watch list but don't follow his trades. He is a very attentive, detailed oriented, concrete, responsive trader.

I am a member of 6 months and listen almost daily. It is the best value out there even if you only get a small fraction out of what he offers. His patterns are awsome and I have definitly learned some important things I will never forget but what keeps me on is his integrity with himself and others and his performance. Really, a rare find in this industry.

For people that actually want to learn for themselves!

TideTraders is the one stop shop for people that actually want to learn how to trade the markets. So many sites out there today simply offer signals and trades notifications without the basis of the education. How are you ever supposed to trade on your own if you don't have someone looking out for you like Rick? They are only in it to make money. At less than a $1 a day, the amount of experience you gain from TideTraders is priceless.

Some reviewers mention how he has lost his "clarity", this is completely incorrect. If you participate in the weekend videos, commentary videos, trade setups, and all the streams --- you will understand everything. They obviously don't understand what Rick does and what he provides for his members. He wants you to take trades on your own, by understanding the market ON YOUR OWN. You can use his trades as guidelines, but you should never take them "as-is".

Long story short, join TideTraders to learn, join another site if you want to pay for trades.

TideTraders will teach you to become an effective trader!!!

TideTraders is an amazing website providing top notch service! I can’t believe what an incredible value it is. The pricing allows aspiring traders with limited resources an opportunity to start learning about and actually trading in the financial markets. For novices and seasoned traders alike, you absolutely cannot afford to NOT become a part of TideTraders. With so much misinformation out there to wade through, TideTraders is a community of savvy traders who can help you avoid the common pitfalls and decipher which information is good and useful verses worthless or even harmful. Members can make trades along with TideTraders staff with the ultimate goal of being taught “how to fish” (not just being thrown a fish). Independent and critical thinking are premium commodities nowadays; Rick and staff provide unparalleled education and training that will enable you to be an independent, critical, original thinker with respect to trading the financial markets. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Do you know what yours are? Can you balance them effectively? I can’t recommend TideTraders enough as a source of information and peer accountability to help you become a balanced, effective trader.

2012 Assessment

I have been a Tidetraders member for quite some time and have followed dozens of stock market gurus over the years. I have to say that Rick @Tidetraders is one of the most confusing I have ever come across. Tidetraders did not start out this way but the past six months have been treacherous to follow. Futures trades seemingly disappear never to be spoken of again. Trades are listed in the box and on the profit and loss in an ever changing and difficult to follow manner. "Successful" trades are pumped to the livestream that were merely watch list candidates and not actual trades. Prices change through averaging to the point that the information is impossible to track. Anyone who questions a trade or price will usually be on the receiving end of an intimidating smackdown. Overall the information is fairly good but the lack of integrity and hyped up "entertainment" are accelerating my departure.

The Real Deal

There are a lot of sites that can offer you this or that, but there is only one that will give you true results. If you are a new trader or been in the business for years, you will find that TideTraders is the real deal.

Rickster, Bryan, Shawn, Michael- aka.Tiny, and Ash, will walk though charts or possible setups, with the main objective to educate. Rickster started the site with the principle to educate traders and it shows in every long hour he puts in for his members and coaching students. They will educate you on Equities, Futures, Options & Forex.

There is "Livestream" everyday during the market hours, here in the US or with Ash in London, where you can hang out and see for yourself what these guys deliver and it's FREE. The transparency they offer is a breath of fresh air. You will know exactly whats going on, and can follow along with your own charts. Another freebie is the "Night Drive." During the week Ricksters' apprentice Bryan does the "Night Drive" where there is an after market educational session, even Shawn does a "Night Drive" for Options traders. This is where I was able to see what TideTraders was all about before I became a member. The passion these guys have for trading is the real deal. You can't beat the price to be a member either, there is the Friday market wrap up session, watchlists for stocks, along with other educational goodies within a great community of experienced traders.

I was a new trader so I signed up for the coaching session with RIck. After just 3 months of coaching I was able to make money consistently. He provides a coaching room where you can interact with him and other students to get the one on one for any trade you might take during the live market hours. Rick will also follow up with you after the market closes for any questions you might have about your trades.This was very helpful to me as a new trader to get beyond the stumbling blocks. What I really appreciated was the time Rick took to show me the areas where I needed to improve. I put in the work, and now I am seeing the results.

Now, I normally will not write a review but some things have to be set straight. There are other people that have written reviews about the trades Rickster has taken and how they followed the trade. You should not be following someone blind into anything, including trades. You cannot blame anyone for you losses because you are the one who clicked on the buy or sell button. You must use your education and Rick as a barometer to make your decisions for your trades. If you have any questions you can always ask, that is what they are there for, but again don't expect them hand you the trades. Some people want the trades handed to them, DON'T expect TideTraders to to that. They will teach you how to fish, not feed you fish.

So if you are looking for a trade hand-out, then TideTraders is not for you, but if you are searching for intelligent mentors that will take you by the hand and teach you how to be a well rounded trader, don't waste any more time or money and get over to TideTraders.

Roi Fantastic

Mr. Rick,

I opened this Investimonials account just to say a public "THANK YOU". Recently I switched trade sites to TideTraders.com. You have so much on your site that the value is tremendous. But I just wanted to say thanks because I decided to follow you and learn from you and I have increased my success rate as a result. The investimonials ask me to rate your entertainment. This is odd. But I must admit you are not entertaining...lol..no offense. But this is good I don't want entertainment I want to trade. You are a very good trader and good teacher.

I am most excited because I am an ES mini trader and achieved my largest gain ever...yes ever...as a result of you and your education. I am not much for words and hope this gets to you and everyone else can see. TideTraders Return on my investment is FANTASTIC.

Thank you

Mr. Kim Lee
