Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 76% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 48% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 76% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 48% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 380 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. Yeah, when do I get my first million dollar student? I am a million dollar student of Sykes. I started trade because of Sykes. As much as I hate to say it, but it's true. I have been a student of Sykes. Or at least, I've been a paying member of his site. As much as I dislike the guy, but that's the truth. If it hadn't been for Sykes, I probably wouldn't be here. I studied and I worked. I studied biomedicine for three years. I studied biomedical laboratory science for three years. And in the last couple of months of my studies, I started trading, so I dropped out of school. Best decision I've ever made. Yeah, some of them. Some of them started, some of them tried trading unsuccessfully. Two of my friends actually started trading. They traded for a year, but, yeah, they didn't have much success. They could have had success if they had stuck to it, but they got bored and they—everyone thinks oh it's so easy, but it takes years and years and years and years. And that's really the only difference between successful traders and unsuccessful traders, because the successful ones don't give up. They stick with it. Even if they blow up, they come back, they go back to work, they come back to trading. That's what I did several times. I could have just given up and finished my studies and gone to work and worked at a regular job, and now I make as much money in a year that I would have made in a lifetime having a regular job. So dropping out of school was the best decision I've ever made. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I know how to do surgery too. It's so easy. You just cut it open, take out the bad stuff and then you put it back together again and it's all so easy. I don't know why people study for five, ten years to be doctors or surgeons, I really don't know. Could just watch some YouTube videos. The funny thing is most of my friends don't really know how successful I am. They think I'm making as much money as I would in a normal job. I think some people I know would drop dead if they knew how much money I was making. My mom doesn't know.

I see far too many people worrying about things they can't control or predict...who knows and who cares when the next great play or next great sector or next great trend will happen, the only question that matters is will you be prepared to capitalize when it occurs? Focus on what you can control -- have you done EVERYTHING in your power to be 110% ready for ideal setups knowing that the vast majority of people lose and miss out due to a lack of preparation? HOW BAD DO YOU WANT SUCCESS?!?!?!
