Quick background: I’m a son of two South American immigrants, the first college graduate in my family, and currently doing travel nursing. My goal isn’t to get rich quick but to have financial freedom. I started trading July 2021. Got into stocks at the very top and am now an investor in AMZN and TSLA (not by choice) but because I was told to buy and hold forever. Til this day I still hold both positions down big. I’ve paid my fair share of market tuition since July 2021. Now I’m more active and am learning how to swing trade and currently reading Trend Following. My problem right now is entries and exits. I get in set a stop loss and get stopped then miss the move up. I don’t set a stop loss then get smoked.
Thank you,
Mathew P.

Hi Michael,
Just started watching Mark Minervini’s interview on your channel & browsed through your website.
I am Balaji from India. I’m 37 years old & was introduced to stock market in early 2019. Last 4 years has been a learning journey & after many experiments with trading on hourly timeframe, I have recently made up my mind to switch to swing trading using daily timeframe & mostly wish to be able to ride major trends (both buy & sell).
My major challenge is giving away most of my profits to transaction charges & so many softwares I subscribed to.
I feel that trading on hourly timeframe has led me to overtrading & transaction cost has eaten up 30% + of my profits.
I will listen to the interviews to get more insights into trend following.
Regards,
Balaji K.

Mr. Covel,
I normally don’t contact authors as I read many books mostly centered around investing.
In early 2020, when the world was taking a shit, I read a book on LEAPS. For about two weeks my account went from $550k to $425k. While most people would have taken a giant shit and possibly slit their throats, I, in ignorance, hung on. My goal was to hit $1M by the end of 2020.
Thru sheer luck and stupidity, I hit that by August and went onto finish the year with a balance of $1.7M. I crushed it. Then came 2021 and 2022. As the trend went down, I continued to buy.
The lesson? I didn’t follow the trend. I wound up losing over $600k not knowing what I was doing.
There was some good news that came out of it all but that is an email for another day.
Mostly, I wanted to say how much I love your book and am a Michael Covel convert. I will be reading the rest of your books.
Love your writing style. We are twin sons from different mothers.
Thanks again and keep up the great work. The world of trading needs guys like you.
Mark D.
Thanks for the nice words!

Hi Michael,
I have read a couple of your books. I completely agree with the validity of Trend Following. I traded commodity futures in the past on my own and love it. However, I have since been in positions that will not allow this time of activity.
I am definitely going to purchase the Flagship System at some point. My question is, what do you think is the appropriate amount of start up capital to open an account for trading– knowing that there will be draw downs while waiting for the nice trend to develop. Also, given the margin requirements these days.
Thank you,
Steve G.
