Mr. Covel,

My biggest challenge in my trading is staying in the trade long enough (which can be traced back to not following my rules).

Regards,
Paul M.

My biggest problem is trading without emotion. I love trading and love “The Complete Turtle Trader“. I am a full-time firefighter and dedicating time to focus on trading is not my 1st priority. However, trend following has always interested me but always seems to be hush hush. So I’m open to learning more.

Danny D.

The steps are below. Questions hit me back.

[Biggest challenge with trading] I tend to wait until I have solid confirmation before placing a trade. By then, I am late to the party and miss a lot of profits!

Feedback in:

My biggest challenge is getting overwhelmed with all the resources and false teachers out there saying they can help. I just want to trust one person to guide me through learning so I do not become spotty on motivation or discipline but consistently showing up to learn more and more and therefore want to trade myself.

John M.

I can help.

Feedback in:

My biggest challenge is that I am somehow always bullish and have a hard time accepting trend reversal and exit too late on losing positions. On the winning positions, I exit late after some gains disappear.
