“Trend following sounds exactly like me…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I’m just starting out on my trading journey. I’m 46 and have been injured at work and have been told I won’t be able to go back to my old job.

I read the Complete TurtleTrader and absolutely loved it. I had read different books but this one resonated with me. Trend following sounds exactly like me. I’m not a smart guy (not dumb either. more middle of the road). I feel this strategy will work for me.

I bought your book trend following and will purchase more as I finish each title.

Are there other books you recommend? Are there places to start? Mathematical strategies you could point me towards.

I’ve never had a mentor in my life and am so willing to learn. Any little bit of information or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your books and your time.

Kind regards
Lucas S.

Trend Following is a great first start!
