“Time management and data processing are the major factors that prevent me from…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

My biggest challenge [on trading] is staying focused. I believe I have other issues as well, but time management and data processing are the major factors that prevent me from maintaining focus. Even when I do manage to concentrate, I often find myself getting lost in the details and ultimately confusing myself.

To address this, I thought that gathering information from a single reliable source could provide a solid foundation for measuring my progress in learning. Once I feel confident in my knowledge, I plan to transition into trading more seriously or professionally. At the moment, it’s more of a hobby—albeit an expensive one.

I know that trend following aligns well with my personality and meets my needs, with one major challenge: patience. I recognize that I need to train my ADHD to work with me rather than against me. That’s why I’ve decided to immerse myself in all available literature on trend following. I’m currently halfway through your book Trend Following and was about to order The Complete TurtleTrader.

Let’s see where this journey takes me.

Thanks,
John A.

I can help. Start here.
