Feedback in:
Before I answer ‘What is the biggest challenge you have faced with your Trading?’, here is a little background. I have been swing trading since 2014 after the oil price collapse. Half in Canadian and half in US markets, stocks and ETFs only. Up to that time, I was working in an engineering consulting business, specifically O&G facilities design as a Mechanical Piping engineer. Specialty – piping stress analysis. Recently, purely by accident, came across your book Trend Following and subsequently onto your website. Just by reading the introduction and preface, I realize it is the same as what I was doing up to now. The only difference, I consider myself a ‘surfer’ on the market tide fluctuations. And yes, I am not convinced of EMT existence. One of the minor permanent upsets is when the company’s quarterly results beat the market predictions, stock price direction is 50/50. Back to your original question, I have a couple of ongoing challenges: Finding what designated market makers (DMM), previously called specialists, are doing, where are they going, why. Also, it appears that market money moves like ocean currents underneath and is difficult to detect (except Atlantic ocean). Today the only explanation is a result of ‘sentiment’. Wind direction for this phenomenon is another challenge.
