“It seems they’ll get hit no matter how far away I might place them…”

Feedback in:

Hello Michael.

Just signed up on your site and read through your turtle trading book. Historically, my biggest challenge is just finding a proper stock to go long. I’ve bought higher highs which might go up a bit and then they drop (eg. DINO). I buy deep lows within a range at support and they drop anyway. I’m ok with drawdowns but amazingly, it seems they’ll get hit no matter how far away I might place them. I’m on board with trend following 100%, seems that I just don’t know how to find the correct candidate to trade. I’d like to be sure that what I’m doing isn’t just wrong (I think I’m doing things correctly but maybe really I’m not).

Thanks!

Dan T.

I see it more than timing. A lot more. You need:

• Exact rules for selecting your tracking portfolio.
• Exact rules for entering your trades at the right time.
• Exact rules for exiting your trades with a loss.
• Exact rules for exiting your trades with a profit.
• Exact rules for how much money to bet on each trade.
