Dear Mr. Covel, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Bernardo C., I’m from Brazil and I became a admirer of your work after reading your trend following book and listen to many of your podcasts episodes. In addition to opening my eyes to a more efficient and intelligent perspective when it comes to investing and life, having contact with your material gave me critical thinking and enough information to ask the right questions and evaluate the answers, or at least try to do so, without passion and as objectively as possible. My hat’s off to you sir. What an intellectual masterpiece! Anyway. If possible, I would like to receive your further material and video about the first and correct trend following steps. Thank you very much for your time and dedication, sir.

Best regards,
Bernardo C.

Thanks! Video sent.

“The one mindset change: Looking at the trade not for necessarily the intrinsic value of the underlying but for how the trade will perform…”

Michael, The one mindset change: Looking at the trade not for necessarily the intrinsic value of the underlying but for how the trade will perform. I have always had the mindset of only buying/trading something that is cheap; if I having been watching something and debating whether to get in and do nothing and later if it really moves up–emotionally I am just not interested. I need to change this to be a good trader.

Indeed. Trying to buy cheap can be trouble. My FAQs are a start.

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael, My biggest challenge is setting my stop loss at the correct level. Whether it be at the open of the trade or when trailing the price.

It’s more than that. You need:

  • Exact rules for selecting your tracking portfolio.
  • Exact rules for entering your trades at the right time.
  • Exact rules for exiting your trades with a loss.
  • Exact rules for exiting your trades with a profit.
  • Exact rules for how much money to bet on each trade.

“I would say discipline has been my biggest challenge and remains my biggest hurdle to this day…..in other words, myself…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael, The first book I ever read on stocks was William J O’neil’s, “How to Make Money in stocks”. In his book he said that most people don’t achieve success in the markets for at least three years. Why? Because they break all the rules. Back then I was like, “No, not me, I want to make money…..” What foolish sentiment, to think I’d be any different from any one else, especially since I was the guy sitting in a six by nine for breaking all the rules. Years later when I started trading, not only did I break the rules for a time, I straight up abandoned them. After I blew up my account the first time I decided to take a break, I started a successful business with my wife. Once I had the management in place to focus again on what I realize is my passion (Nothing else has ever had me up at 3:45 am with a smile on my face) I began to look at my trading accounts again. Same hopes, same dreams, same mistakes. Until I read “Trading In The Zone” literally a month ago. Since then I have doubled my account. Still, at this phase in my trading career, I would say discipline has been my biggest challenge and remains my biggest hurdle to this day…..in other words, myself. Best Regards, Rob

“The biggest challenge I have is handling the negativity from others on using technical analysis…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

The biggest challenge I have is handling the negativity from others on using technical analysis. The common opinion seems to be that it is useless. Do you have a good approach to convince people that it is a useful tool for successful investing.

What do you mean exactly by technical analysis? Who are you trying to convince and why? My book Trend Following will solve your issues.
