Happy Friday,

I randomly found your podcast the other day trying to listen to some Mark Minervini and have been listening to a bunch more over the last few days. Trying to find my way of trading, have made a lot and lost a lot due to my own stupid risks and not cutting losses. Consistency is not my strong point right now. At the end of a podcast it said to email here for some info to get started.

Hey Michael,

I guess the biggest problem for me is finding a consistent strategy and then managing my money properly. I’m hoping you can help. I’ve blown my account more than once, unfortunately. Also, the debate about setting stops. I was trained to use them, but I see how the market goes pip hunting and takes me out. Basically, I suppose I have typical trader challenges. Oh, and I have no money to trade right now… I’m guessing that’s my biggest problem with trading. haha

Sincerely,
Tom

I can’t help you to obtain trading capital. That’s on you.

Main problems that I have faced in trading are:
1) Stock selection gets me all confused while trading intraday
2) Cannot follow a system when it starts giving losses and switch over to other systems
3) Not able to get consistent profits even after follow proper risk management
4) Get too confused because of information overload

I would stop all of that ASAP or go to Vegas. Vegas is more fun. When you are serious? There are options below.

Hey Mike! Fucking love your podcast. I started to listen late but trying to catch up on episodes below the 900th! Did you have a chance to do a podcast with Stan Weinstein? I’m sure it would be another amazing podcast! Thanks my man! Tony

Happy you enjoy it! Thanks for the guest idea.

My biggest frustration is that I can’t sit at the computer on a regular basis. I cannot do day trading and I don’t have the time to run screens all the time. My best performances come from following a few companies that I know well and trade covered puts and calls against positions that I am confident are good to own over 1-3 years. For example I have made roughly $700k in the last three years trading short options and spreads on AMD, SQ and AMZN. The place where this strategy breaks down is in on high alpha/high beta names that react poorly to risk off market news. They go through support and resistance leaving me purchasing expensive stock or selling out of a big move up. I have powered through these episodes and recovered well, but it will end badly if this market enters a prolonged bear market.

That’s nothing like trend following. Have you tried testing your strategy?

Michael: Thank you for your fantastic work. I own and have read all your books multiple times and am a dedicated listener of your podcast. I have been trend trading relatively successfully for over ten years but I struggle with one thing. Assuming that for whatever reason, I miss the initial trade entry signal and the move is now well underway, should I go ahead and enter or wait for the trend to reverse and go the other way? I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you. Bill P.

Trend following doesn’t buy on the dip. If you have an entry signal you get in. What’s the downside? You have a stop.
