I heard about you on humbled trader podcast. I’ve been trying to follow TVM strategy (trend, value, momentum) and it’s slow going. I’m conservative and very good at risk management so I don’t lose much, but I have not been able to confidently predict gains.
I just bought some Caterpillar because that is going up. Hopefully it keeps going haha.
I definitely want to read your books.
Have a nice evening.

Hi,
Thanks for your email. I actually just enrolled in this course called trading the financial markets about 2 months ago. While we have been taught a number of strategies, support and resistance, trading on retracements, etc, I can’t seem to apply them fully and accurately when I trade gold. I am not actively trading the 7 major currency pairs as, there is no trading opportunity most of the time.
I have not funded any live account as of this time. I am still trading on my demo account after I completed my 5-day academic course at the end of August. However, at this point, I seem to have more losses than wins. And so I am looking to improve my knowledge and trying to learn simple effective strategies that would increase my win rate on a daily basis.
Also, since I have just started, I don’t have much funds to spend on very expensive trading courses. So, if you have videos I could watch or books I could read, that would be more ideal.
Thanks so much for all your help.
Best,
Aida M.
Those are all predictive TA. Dead end!

Hello Michael!
Really enjoyed your enthusiasm in episode 1363, I share the sentiment on so many levels, and I am excited to see what you are working on.
I am a long time follower of your work, going all the way back to the late 90s. Your podcasts so often hit me at just the right moment. I often want to email you just to say thank you, but don’t want to fill up your inbox.
I want to thank you for the transformation you have already ignited in my life. I have you to thank for turning me on to Austrian Economics. I can’t remember if you did a post about Human Action or it was just on one of your book lists (pretty sure there was a direct link on your page for a while), but wow did that change the trajectory of my life. Case and class probability combined with trend following seeded the framework that would propel my intellectual and professional development in directions and depth I am forever grateful for.
I’ve held off on reaching out for years because I imagined that the next time I emailed you would be after I had built something big and visible — and then I could come on your show with my success story. I’ve come close a couple times, but recently I realized: as you’ve said again and again, the real story is the process — the building, the mindset, the becoming — and that’s actually where I’ve found my joy. Thank you for lighting that fuse so many years ago. I wouldn’t be who I am — or building what I’m building — without your work.
Thank you,
Corey

My story:
I started with Topstep and passed evaluations. But my strategy was over trading in a rush to payouts. Blown accounts because drawdowns $2000 was hard to keep when chasing candles. My emotions and psychological roller coaster.
I need to learn how to use risk management tools – stop loss brackets.
That’s my story and I’m not profiting at all.
You need a trend following system. Time to dive deeper into my world.

Hi Mr. Covel,
My name is Luke, and I’m a 19-year-old who’s recently become deeply interested in trend following and systematic trading. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your incredible work in this field. Your books: Trend Following, The Complete TurtleTrader, and The Trend Following Mindset — have been hugely inspiring and eye-opening for me as well as your Youtube Podcasts. They’ve helped me understand not only the philosophy behind trend following but also the importance of discipline, risk management, and letting winners run.
As I continue learning, I’m also trying to study the performance of established CTAs and systematic traders. Could you recommend a reliable source or database where I can find past CTA performance results or historical trend following fund data?
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and for helping make systematic trading accessible to aspiring traders like me.
Best regards,
Luke W.
I don’t want to play favorites. A quick Google will bring up many data providers. Always the CFTC too. And the individual CTA websites.
