Michael,

Thanks for your email. I learned about your story while listening to your audio book, The Complete Turtletrader. I’m very very interested. As an electrical engineer, I’m very systematic and disciplined in my thinking and determination of a solution. I feel, at this point, your system would fit my make up, well.

I found myself curious about Forex trading and started doing research on how to be a successful retail trader. Currently, I have been studying different trading approaches. I don’t want to build a foundation of bad habits. I would like to give the most effort to build a great foundation of fundamentals. I have yet to make my first trade.

This is my journey, so far. Thank you, for your time.

Best Regards,
Darnell F.

Great!

Quick thought… I sort of think the toughest part of trend following is actually the making money part. How many people have the discipline to stay in a trend when their account is already up 50%? But if you get out early, your account never gets to 300%. I’m saying that to myself as I suffer from that disease! I got out of my NVDA calls too early this week and it’s because I was afraid to lose what I already made.

You need a system. This can’t be about your emotions only. Start below!

I very much enjoyed this book. May I see your video?

Thank you,
Joe B.

Video sent to your email.

Didn’t think it’d be you on the other end of this email! Thank you for the link. I was given your Little Book of Trading back in 2014 and make a point to reread it every so often. I’m sure I’ll do the same with this one. I very much like how you finished the (original) book, Chapters 9,10 & 11. You leave the reader excited to get back to work. And you leave me an even bigger fan of Ed Seykota as well.

Wishing you a successful 2024.

Thanks!

Hello Michael,

I now follow the CANSLIM method which is chart reading and fundamentals. It talks about letting your winners run as does your system. My biggest problem is just that, I cannot let my winners run. I do cut my losses short at 7-8%. But allowing my winners run, well, I just get nervous at the first downturn. How do you stop that?

I have read The Little Book of Trading and I am reading Trend commandments now. Which do you suggest I read next?

Thanks for your time,
Timothy T.

My Trend Following book is a good start. BTW, no fundamentals.
