Dear Michael,

My name is [name] and I’m 20 years old. I began researching trend trading a few years ago, with the help of my father who has been trading for 20 years. I’ve read many books on the subject, including The Trading Tribe, The Complete Turtle Trader Trading in the Zone, and more. My father and I have developed three trend trading systems and back tested them over 5 years, with a total of 2100 trades. The results were good, but our longest losing streak was 28 trades in a row, resulting in a drawdown of 26%. I’m writing to you to ask if this is a psychologically feasible situation, or if it’s normal to experience this when working with three different trend trading systems. Thank you for your time.

1. You have my TurtleTrader book. Performance data in appendix. Seen? See drawdowns?

2. Read my Trend Following book 5th edition? Lots of drawdown info.

Just wanted to thank you again for the audio book (TurtleTrader). I devoured it this week and truly enjoyed it. I read a lot of books on either my kindle app or physical copies, but this was my first audio book and it was a fantastic experience for me.

Being a member of your Flagship program, this story really tied it all together for me and think this book should be a mandatory read for your other members after they have read the manifesto. The story was fantastic, but I don’t know if I would have appreciated it as I did without thinking about the rules you laid out in your program while putting myself in the turtles’ shoes. The audiobook and that knowledge of the trend following rules made me feel like I was in the story.

At the end of the day it was the exact kick in the ass I needed to go back to the rules and quit trying to be cute with my adjustments that haven’t gotten me anywhere. Thank you Michael!

Oh! If you ever decide to get a group of Flagship members together for a similar experiment, I’m in man!

Les

Thanks!

30 minute time frame, using 10X30 EMA for entry exit and 200EMA as trend indicator.

Nitin R.

That time frame is not trend following. Not at all.

Hey Michael,

My biggest challenge is my discipline and my patience. Also the fact that I have a main job, sometimes has an impact on my trading quality.

I am still in the learning so I am improving time by time. My trading has gotten much better since the start (started last year September), but it’s still only a little profitable.

Best regards,
Lennart P.

But avoid that day trading stuff!
