Trend Following Feedback

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Dear Mr. Covel,

I have really enjoyed reading two of your books, Trend Following and The Complete TurtleTrader, over the 19 years that I have been involved in the markets and recently started listening to your podcasts. I am in the process of relocating to Singapore and it was from one of these podcasts that I learned you are currently there. Unfortunately, I am not there next week to attend the Bloomberg/MTA Singapore ‘Systematic Trading for Investment Professionals’ seminar, but would really appreciate an opportunity to meet with you and ask a few questions.

I first started in the markets in 1996 on LIFFE and relocated to Australia in 2002 where I was a futures broker for a couple of years [we used to execute (Turtle) Elizabeth Cheval’s EMC orders] and then I became a prop trader in 2005. I am now working for a company called [name] assisting one of the senior portfolio managers but am really keen to explore and learn more about trend trading, as from experience, I can see the benefits & upside of having predetermined entry and exit points based on price action.

Kind Regards,
Chris [Name]

Thanks!

My guest today is Jerry Parker, an original Turtle, trained by Richard Dennis. However, since then he has very successfully run a managed money firm called Chesapeake Capital.

  • Recent moves in the Swiss Franc
  • Paying attention to entries as well as exits
  • Why investors are often their own worst enemy
  • The first moment that Parker heard about price-based trading
  • Becoming obsessed with asymmetrical risk and reward
  • Why looking at trend following losses is important
  • Why you can tell a system is robust if it has big drawdowns
  • Backtesting and treating all trades with equal weight

Ep. 322: Sophia Roosth Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

Sophia Roosth

My guest today is Sophia Roosth, a Harvard professor that Covel first heard quoted on DNA privacy from Davos. Roosth’s research focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first century life sciences. Her first book, based on four years of ethnographic fieldwork, examines how the life sciences are changing at a moment when researchers build new biological systems in order to investigate how biology works. In this work, Roosth asks what happens to “life” as a conceptual category when experimentation and fabrication converge.

The topic is science.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Davos event
  • What becomes of privacy in a moment of internet surveillance
  • Having more information out there as a way to control privacy
  • Biological privacy, and whether our DNA is going down a path where it’s a lot more public
  • Discrimination based on genome
  • Genetic McCarthyism
  • Somatic transfer and cloning
  • The story of Chance the bull
  • The idea of de-extinction
  • The ethics of cloning
  • Molecular gastronomy and world hunger

Excerpt:

Across this series of webcasts, our expert speakers will cover some of the most topical subjects in the world of hedge fund management today. In our next session, scheduled for tomorrow, Dr Svetlana Borovkova, Associate Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam provide you with a broad overview of how various commodity markets respond to news and how this information can be used in trading strategies, investment decisions, risk management and for overall improvement in efficiency of quant-based models. We examine the main commodity classes: energy, agriculturals and metals, as well as various market responses to news, in terms of prices, returns, volatilities and trading volumes. Market responses are analysed for different latencies, ranging from minutes to days and to longer horizons.

100% bullshit.
