I enjoy your podcast. I also listen to a couple of other trading related podcasts (Alpha Mind and Chat With Traders). They have had a couple of guests who have written books on those podcasts who i thought were interesting and their books were pretty good too. Brent Donnelly who has written a book called Alpha Trader (Probably the best book on trading i have ever read). Jared Tendler who has written a book called The Mental Game of Trading which is pretty good too. James A. King who has written a book called Accelerating Excellence. Also, see if you can get Alex Berenson on there to talk about his book Pandemia. I gather from your FB posts that you don’t believe the lies we have been being fed for 18 months now either. Berenson’s Twitter account (before he got banned) and not his Substack have been one of a few things keeping me sane whilst being surrounded by people who believe all the lies and are now shocked that printing massive amounts of money to prevent riots during lockdowns might lead to inflation. One of the trends I have noticed is that the people who believe all the lies are the ones who have lived inside the matrix all their lives in big corporations or the public service where group think was rewarded and challenging the narrative meant being cast out of the tribe for being a heretic. Since your audience will mostly be the opposite of that it might be a good fit for Berenson to sell books to.

Thanks.

I have bought the book yesterday and it is a very interesting way of trading and one that is in line with the way I want to live. I don’t want to be exposed to the huge negativity bias in day to day news, glued to my screen following graphs and the need to wake up at 4 am to start reading financial reports. The biggest hurdle for me currently is how to bring it all into practice. What are the next steps? Data subscription, learn how to code etc. How to build your own trading system and which software and data providers do u need. Affordable courses to learn this etc.? Many thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

Kind regards,
Dave W

My biggest struggle today is choosing the trend with the most magnitude.

This is impossible. How can one know in advance which market will move the most?

Hello Michael, Here’s my challenge…After following an entered trend and compounding it (I’m only trading long un-leveraged stock or if short, using “pre-loaded” proshare-ETF positions (eg short/long gold, short/long 20yr treasuries (like TTT), et. al.) for now until confident about having good grasp of methodology) I use a custom indicator I adapted from your spiral bound course-book from around year 2000, but I seem to be exiting just past the point of maximum profit and yesterday things moved very fast against those positions. During previous episodes of trend turnaround, I tried waiting through the next cycle as if all were “cup-handle” formations so lowered my stops for the first “round” raising them in the second. Sometimes it worked nicely but net losing strategy, losses after leaving profitable positions too late. What have I missed. The consistency and similarity of this phenomenon suggests that I am at least misinterpreting one aspect (or more perhaps) of either rules for compounding ATR units when trend is good and/or pulling the trigger too late. Thanks in advance.

Not one time in 20 years have I advised on cycles or cup-handle formations. You need a workable trend following system first. You don’t have that.
