Hi Michael,

Please find attached a copy of my receipt for “Trend Following – Fifth Edition”

All the Best,

My video is in your in box now!

I read and thoroughly enjoyed your Trend Following and Complete TurtleTrader books, and appreciated the efforts taken to discuss how Trend Following, in one form or another, has been around for centuries.

That said, do you know if trend following works as well today as it has historically? I’m asking because I’m beginning an algo trading course that’s focused on extensive backtesting, and it was mentioned that Trend Following does not work as well as it once did. I will find out after backtesting, but would like your perspective.

Trend following excels. It has never stopped.

Learn the rules behind trend following, and the systems to apply them.
