Hello,

My biggest challenge is to stick to the same trading strategy. Or due to drawdown or new reading, I change the strategy in some ways.

Thank you.

Regards,
James S.

You must make honest comparisons of assorted strategies. All strategies are not created equal. Don’t do this, your problems will continue.

Biggest challenge is increasing profit with only a very small increase in risk.

John Y.

This is impossible. No risk, no return. Very little risk? Savings account.

Hi Michael,

I’ve been enjoying your work for quite some time now.

Yesterday I stayed up late as I had an epiphany, putting together a system with some personal adjustments. If it works as I think it will… oh boy!

Anyway, as I was listening to your audiobook it said to send a receipt to get a free trend following presentation.

Looking forward to that presentation and maybe one day I can thank you in person for the great work you’ve done.

Richard H.

Sent the video!

I have developed my own system based on trends and rangebound. I figured out that there are 3 types of trends in single time frame– first: longer term, second: medium term, third: near term. Whenever there’s an uptrend, I buy when others are selling on medium to long term trend and vice versa. I usually use multiple time frame analysis before taking a trade. I usually trade 1hr, 4hr, mostly on 1day time frame, sometimes weekly.

Mayur B.

Stop. Burn it down. That strategy is a dead end. It’s not trend following.
