Greetings Mr. Covel,
My biggest trading challenge right now is disciplined execution through uncertainty and limited capital.
What drew me to the Turtle Traders was realizing that intelligence or prediction wasn’t the edge—rules, risk management, and survival were. I’m currently focused on trend following principles: accepting frequent small losses, controlling risk tightly, and learning to let winners run without interference.
Where I’m still developing is consistency—executing the same rules through drawdowns without shrinking winners or forcing trades. Capital constraints make that process more psychologically demanding, but I’m deliberately working within those limits rather than fighting them.
That shift—from trying to be right to focusing on process—has been the most important change in my trading so far.
Best regards,
Moises
