Michael, Just listened to your Paul Tudor Jones rant. In my humble opinion, one can successfully trend follow using 10-minute bars. I know because I have been doing it for many years now. I trade metal futures primarily (former Comex member). My win to loss ratio about 40/60, average profit about 3x average loss. I use moving averages. Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it. Love your work.
Best,
George K.
You are welcome! But 10 min bars on one market is not trend following. It’s another strategy. Not trend following by any known definition.

I’m interested in learning trend following but have a question. I’m about to buy your book to learn what it is all about but before I do, I need to know if it will work for me. I’m 52 yrs old (FYI started sipping whiskey around 47) and made a ton of bad decisions in life, a lot of catching up. In 2018 I opened a robinhood account and started trading beaten-down stocks like junior miners and energy with spare change and returnable cans/bottles to fund it. Since then I’ve switched it over to TD America trade account. I’ve sold off some of the stocks, and have roughly 2k to work with right now. Still holding the energy stocks and beverage stocks I have. Can I trade trend following with 2k or do I need to continue growing my account before I can follow this strategy? I love listening to your podcast, keeps me rolling through the day while working. Thank you for your time. Steven S.

Hi Michael, Biggest challenge, I do not follow any rules, no structure or foundation. I have often traded by putting all my eggs in one basket and based my decisions off of rumors, “a friend of a friend told me about this stock, it’s gonna go big!”. There have been a few occasions where it has gone big and I have seen a lot of paper money in my account, in one case $250K, only to not sell and watch it dwindle all the way down to my original 15K investment, and then below that! I thought it was going to go much higher. I have lost a lot of money in the market and it is frustrating! I am tired of losing. By the way, I am obsessive, compulsive, impulsive, and a recovering alcoholic. I can obsess about anything. Not too long ago I was obsessed with the news. I am the director of a research clinic in CA, ran all the vaccine trials, saw all the lies out there from supposed “trusted institutions”, and it practically drove me to the looney bin, no joke. I hit a bottom emotionally right in front of my children and when that happened I knew it was time to dig myself out. Feeling better than I have ever felt now and only because of the actions I take each day. When I use my powers of obsession for good, I thrive. I plan on obsessing about Trend Following because I want my 2 little boys, my wife, myself, and my family to thrive. I am a winner, always have been, just been tricked by external forces. Sorry, more than you wanted I am sure. Chris K.

Michael, I’m a client (from about 2008 or so) and I emailed you a few weeks ago regarding the Paul T. Jones quote. One of your favorites, Joe Kernen, had this gem on Squawk Box this morning: “Who could have predicted all this would be happening?” (5/19, 7:16 am CST) I thought of your comments about CNBC being “noise.” Interesting comment for a program (and station) that spends nearly all of its time trying to predict. Thanks for your work in trend following.
Andy R.
Thanks for the support!
