“Identify a trend, find an entry and identify when a trend is over…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hello Michael,

I am new to the trend following approach. I am listening to your Trend Following book currently. What I have not seen or heard just yet are the time frames recommended and the signals some trend followers like to use to identify a trend, find an entry and identify when a trend is over. Those are my main challenges to understanding the approach currently. I day trade and swing trade Crypto now but I want to expand to other asset classes. I have enjoyed listening to your book so far and want to know more about trend following.

All the Best,
Richard D.

Trend following is not day trading. Trend following is not swing trading. Trend following is daily or weekly bars.

“Where to consistently set the stop loss…”

Feedback in:

Where to consistently set the stop loss [is my challenge]. I work off of having the 4H in line with the 15M and in line with the 1 minute, but sometimes when the 1 minute does a trend change, price goes and stops be out before going to my take profit area.

Best regards,
Jake G.

“The biggest challenge I face is finding the time for research…”

The biggest challenge I face is finding the time for research.

Trend following involves no research. There is no fundamental research. You use price action rules.

Your strategy and time frame now is?

I have become somewhat scattered in my current approach. I have held trades of under a day and for as long as several months. I seem to be chasing a trading method or system that generates consistent performance. To be honest, I am not a very disciplined trader. I keep thinking that I will go back to a basic system and just stick with it but then I am lured away with suggestions of success from something else and, like a dog chasing a bone, I get sidetracked and seem to be all over the place. I guess that is about as honest about my trading as I have ever been with anyone. My time frame is anywhere from a day to a couple of months.

Just to be clear from that description–you were not trend following. If you want to go trend following I can help.

“My biggest challenge has been confidence…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael, My biggest challenge has been confidence. I’ve been a rules-based discretionary trend following trader using short-term (days to a couple of weeks) options and I struggle with having the confidence to stick with my system because of all the decision making involved during the course of a trade. I think that I’d rather find a mechanical system that I know will work over time and just go with that.

I would not describe your approach now as trend following. Rules-based + discretionary = inconsistent logic. Day trading? Not trend following. Jump in below with a path to learn.
