“But my confidence is getting beaten down from losses…”

Feedback in:

Michael,

The biggest issue I’m having is that I’m getting chopped up (read: whipsaw) by the markets. My entries are following my system, but my confidence is getting beaten down from losses.

Thanks.

“Silvergate Bank and Silicon Valley Bank have been interesting to watch over…”

Feedback in:

Good evening Michael,

I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines, but Silvergate Bank and Silicon Valley Bank (SVB Financial) have been interesting to watch over the last few days.

Professional analysts kept saying the “fundamentals” were apparently strong on both of these companies and we can now see how these numbers were not telling the whole story. These numbers were not to be trusted.

The market price; however, has been flashing sell signals for both companies since early 2022 and has been providing a clearer picture of the market’s view on each company.

Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB) has dropped from around $600 in March 2022 down to its current halted price of $106.04.

Silvergate Bank (SI) has dropped from around $120 in April 2022 down to its current halted price of $2.25.

Market participants using price as their sole indicator had multiple opportunities to make some great money or at least exit before the bottom fell out.

Indeed. You get it!

“How long the small losses might accumulate before winning trends kick in…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the insights. I have been exploring your site quite a bit. I am reframing my ideas about holding periods/timeframes and win rate required to make consistent money in the market. Just trying to get my head around how long the small losses might accumulate before winning trends kick in (based on a comment from one of the Turtles, that they usually made most of their money for the year in 3 weeks) to gauge capital and other income requirements.

“I lost in vain years until I found the idea of trend following…”

Feedback in:

I lost in vain years until I found the idea of trend following. I use Bollinger Band 20 period penetration signal with adx rising for 2 bar and the MA for trailing stoploss. I often trade H1 H2 H4 and use market order on close candle price, it put me on the road to recover. I code and size position 0.5-1% auto but when I backtest on markets, some have great results and some don’t. I listen to some of your podcast and still don’t know how to diversify and what market trend. Which one should I trade? I want to improve my strategy cause I find that market volatility affect my entry point a lot. Is there any way I can bring multi time frame in to improve my strategy? Thank you.

Candlesticks?

Hourly bars?

Not trend following at all.

“I’ve enrolled in several systems and advisory schemes over the past few years…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I’m wondering why I have been led to believe that technical analysis and the many chart indicators were the be-all and end-all of trading.

I’ve enrolled in several systems and advisory schemes over the past few years and have now started reading a couple of your books.

Chris N.

It’s a decades long scam. Not new.
