“I have been day trading the SPX and have realized some huge losses…”

Feedback in:

Over the years I have mainly been following a bargain hunting approach with moderate results.

Lately, I have been day trading the SPX and have realized some huge losses. I am trying to apply trend following in my day trading and implement trend following in the majority of my portfolios. I need to recover now from some large SPX losses.

Richard S.

No day trading.

No trying to recover.

Have a good system.

Best place to start.

“They are probably lying about their performance anyway…”

Feedback in:

Well said and great timing on this one!

​As always, it’s nice to hear a voice of reason in the trading world.

Occasionally, I find myself battling the jealousy/envy, comparing myself and my trading performance to the gurus online. Then I remember that they are probably lying about their performance anyway.

What’s worked for me is to re-read through Trend Commandments, some stoic philosophy, and disconnect from X for a time. X is a love/hate thing. There’s great content and access to some great people, but it’s a swamp. It’s getting hard to tell if it’s worth it.

​Regards,
​Steve D.

You are welcome!

“I saw that you floated the possibility of BlueCrest being a trend following firm…”

Feedback in:

Hey Michael!

First of all, I hope you are having an amazing day. I have two questions for you, as I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I saw that you floated the possibility of BlueCrest being a trend following firm, notably because of it’s Blue trend business, but I was wondering if you would still consider it a trend following firm, even after becoming the personal investment vehicle of Michael Platt. I once read somewhere around your website that the best traders are usually trend traders, not only small traders but also big and historical trader. The other question is kinda similar, as George Soros usually tries to make his approach to investing look really complicated, but I’ve always found his real investments to be consistent or similar to teens following. He buys when a trend starts and leaves before the top, which is consistent with trend following. We all know that big traders like to make their approach sound more complicated, but I’d like to know your opinion about both topics.

Thanks beforehand,
Gabriel R.

I can’t know what I can’t know. So my books are filled with solid trend following examples. Real ones. No doubt. There may be others who are trend following, but disguise it.
