“Tried hundreds of trading subscriptions by now…”

Feedback in:

I’m always open to learn new things and with over 25 years of trading experience and literally having tried hundreds of trading subscriptions by now, I think I’ve earned like two PhD’s in Trading IMHO, so that is why I signed up for your tutorial emails recently (I follow Tom Basso so I listened to your podcasts of when he was guest speaker, so I think I know a little about trend following as you call it), and yes, I have read about the TurtleTraders). So, ease up on me and give me more credit than you have.

Best,
Robert

I see blind spots in your prior emails:

1. Trend followers don’t talk about finding trends.
2. They don’t talk about or use seasonality.
3. 100s of trading subscriptions means a lot of errors — that’s great as long as you know it.

This isn’t personal. I would say the same to a family member.

1. You obviously have to find the trend/instrument that is trending before you can follow it, and I take it a step further and find the beginning (depending on how conservative or aggressive) of the trend when the move is the most momentum. I think this is the difference of semantics/terminology between you and me. Please clarify if you mean something different.
2. Oh well, I’m sorry “they” don’t, they are missing that edge that I have. Like I said, seasonality is just one of quite a few ways of following where the Big Money is moving, and I’m not going to teach it here.
3. No, that’s over 25 years, and I picked the best of the best and put only those in my concrete trading plan, so #3 is invalid pertaining to my trading.

Best,
Robert
