I grew up in very middle class setting and always had a shelter over my head and food to eat, however walked out of high school with no skills or knowledge to be able to take care of of myself because I was considered the problem kid. Many years of beating my head against the wall and learning over and over the hard way. Despite that I raised 2 amazing kids who are doing well. Now as an empty nester I need to focus on my financial future but roll with the tsunami waves like the rest of the world.  My hubs and I made a little chunk of money in real estate and it’s time to make that money make its own money. Hubs knows more than I do regarding markets and investments and I have in the past been able to plug in and pay attention to the investing but my job is highly stressful and demanding so that is his “job.” That’s going to change soon and we are moving the ball forward. If you can take 23 very different people with different exposures maybe there are some principles I can use. Our biggest weaknesses are ourselves and getting out of our own way.

I agree. Jump in.

I am able to identify upcoming direction in the market using trendlines either broken or holding support or other breakout analysis, but i don’t hold them long enough, or I add when i shouldn’t (before a counter trend pullback) and then I change my market direction outlook as I see its now going the other way and sometimes I’ll reverse my original position, then get run over by the oncoming train going in the first direction, just like I thought would happen.

This is gibberish. A dead end. Stop.

My biggest challenge has been finding well articulated stock trading systems to test. I paid for a course by a UK full time trader which when analyzed was very short on actionable detail. In your book Trend Following which I’m reading at the moment, your narrative on Bill Dunn described a trading system I had used when Forex trading but had discarded when I realized I was with a scam broker. I will have to revisit my Forex community as they seem more comfortable with sharing trading systems and see what I can adjust for stock trend trading.

Start here.

Hi Michael, I’m brand new to trading with approximately one year of self-study. I have very little trading experience with approximately less than 10 trades in a year. Very little success in trades and seem to be right on target with making every mistake that all new traders make. I’m currently listening to turtle traders on audible. I was led to your TurtleTrader website while looking for the pdf notes to accompany the audible book. I’m really enjoying your turtle trade books and the logic in the book just seems to make sense to me. My biggest challenge would be able to find a set pattern to follow and learn. I don’t want to be bouncing around and following different gurus every week.

Follow no gurus. Find a strategy. That’s it. Read up on trend following.
