Ah yes, the axioms.

Stumbled upon original copy in Kowloon, Hong Kong bookshop, early 2003. Still re-read it every now and then.

Good find, well done!

Trend Following is for beginners, students and pros in all countries. This is not day trading 5-minute bars, prediction or analyzing fundamentals–it’s Trend Following.

“I primarily focus on daily and weekly charts looking at moving averages and supply and demand…”

Hey Michael,

As of right now my biggest challenge is portfolio construction, I understand trend following is trading either a global portfolio or your home country markets. However, when it comes to incorporating certain asset classes such as equites there’s a a lot to choose from so by any chance could you give an overview of how I should go about constructing a portfolio?

Thanks,
Dave

There is a process. First it’s about choosing the type of instrument you will use to trade all markets. Then correlation plays a role. Then updates play a role. I assist all of my clients with this process via my Flagship training. What is your exact strategy and time frame now?

Thank you for the response, I primarily focus on daily and weekly charts looking at moving averages and supply and demand/support and resistance zones

Support and resistance is not trend following.

“What indicators do you use to define your trends, and what signal do you use to enter…”

Feedback in:

Michael,

Started listening to your podcast and of course I’ve heard of you before.

When it comes to reading, my favorite method is “darvas box” trading following Nicholas Darvas’ method looking for stocks that double in a year. I’ve actually written code on think or swim to do this.

In a way, Darvas box trading is a trend trading method. A fast shooting trend straight up. The problem is, true Darvas box trading doesn’t give many candidates per year (and most of what you find online from people “teaching” the method is BS, a mutated form of William O’Niel’s limited CANSLIM method or worse).

My question to you is simply this: what indicators do you use to define your trends, and what signal do you use to enter? Such as this… finding stocks with the 10,20,50 & 200 day moving averages layered totally bullish or totally bearish and thing when a 5 day crosses above the 10 day moving average, etc. I’m simply looking for the basics of your methodology. I know the jargon already (like moving averages, MACD, etc).

“Thank you for being real, and sharing the treasure chest of trend following…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I would just like to say thank you for being real, and sharing the treasure chest of trend following with your audience through your books!

I’ve reached out to you 4-5 years ago, when I was just starting out and had very little to invest. You didn’t reply and that was probably a right thing to do. I’ve had to roll up my sleeves and was able to get to a point where I’m now up 86% YTD, and my portfolio size is growing enough to be able to trade most micro futures contracts and size them properly and ETF’s. I’ve also created a https://bucktester.com/ in the free time, it’s not the best and the greatest in terms of backtesting, but it’s good enough for me to verify what I’m doing, so I published it and put a small price tag on that, just in case someone finds it useful.

Again hello from Slovakia, and thank you so much. If there’s any small way I can help with something please let me know!

Best Regards,
Sveto K.

Thanks for reaching out, but I did respond back then. As you now know as I sent you the screen shot!
