Hi Michael,

I listen to your podcast since 2021. I backtested many strategies. I also backtested several trend following strategies and it turn out that my available capital won’t be enough to produce quality result (5000 – 10 000 USD). I would like to ask if you could recommend an ETF managed futures fund available in Europe? I can’t find one. Thanks a lot in advance!

Check out all of the names on my podcast!

Revenge trading is my worst trading trait. I day trade which I shouldn’t do and when down I add to a trade or trade again with bigger size. I will not day trade anymore and I really need to start making 3% monthly and compound my winnings every month. If I learn a consistent methodology and have success monthly and compound my monthly profit, I will begin year 2 with $100,000. I am nearly 76 and I need to do this properly. Thanks. Any suggestions?

You need a system. Like trend following.

Hello Michael,

We worked together maybe 10 years ago, alongside [name] at [name]. I’m a copywriter and have been fascinated by trend following for quite some time. I enjoy your books and podcast (I just finished episode 1277), and I’m wondering if you can help me find a system to use for trend following. My notes from awhile ago suggest most people use the 50 and 200 day moving averages, but what else? What stop loss do people use? And how do people get alerts on when a market is declining a trend? I’m basically looking for a bit of hand-holding on how to set up a system, and you said at the end of episode 1277 that I could send you an email to seek that solution. Let me be a guinea pig or look over your shoulder at the nuts and bolts.

Thank you so much!
C. S.

Nice to reconnect and apologies for my slow reply. My starting steps: here. And my presentation here. I do have TF courses that may get you there even faster.

Michael,

Hope you are doing well and continuing to shift people’s focus away from the “fundamentals.”

I have been implementing a weekly trading strategy (I admire Paul Mulvaney and his trading), but I still struggle with patience and not checking my charts each day.

Wasn’t sure if you had any suggestions on how I can improve my patience, so that I don’t end up overriding my trading system.

Thank you for everything you do and all the important information you share!

Michael, Jr.

You have a system. Or you don’t. You follow it. Or you don’t. Is this an issue of patience or an issue of not having a system?

Dear Michael Covel,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently purchased a hard copy of your book, TF, and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

While the hard copy is wonderful, I often find it difficult to carry the book with me everywhere. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to provide me with a soft copy or the Kindle version of the book as well. Having a digital version would make it much easier for me to continue reading on the go.

I would be incredibly grateful if you could assist me with this. Please let me know if there is any additional information you need from me to process this request.

Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Rahul J.

You know how this works. Hardcover, audio, kindle. All on Amazon!

Hi, I have a question I’d like to ask regarding trend following. Before reading your book, I had the opportunity to read Stan Weinstein’s book, where he describes trends in four stages. As both of you are trend followers, I’m curious to know your thoughts on his approach?

Trend following simply has entries, exits and position sizing. It doesn’t define “parts” of trends. You don’t know what trend you have until it’s over.
