Hi Michael Covel,

Thanks for your message and the material that you made available to me. I’m based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Should you have someone that use your methodology here, please let me know. I’m a beginner in this area and my biggest challenge is to move from theory to practice and to trust in the forecast made by TA, and which one of the different methodology available in the market is more effective. I’m about to decide invest my time in trading crypto and I’m not sure what sort of methodology fits in this market.

Best Regards,
Flávio

Trend following is for all markets. But don’t confuse strategy and markets. Deciding you will trade any particular market doesn’t mean you have a strategy.

Good day, I’d say my biggest challenge in trading is not letting past losing trades affect future trading decisions. I think the core issue is letting emotion get in the way of decision making. I often feel as if a losing trade implies I am losing personally (even if the loss is small or involves losing profit rather than losing starting capital).

Thanks!

Do you have a complete trading system as of now? No.

My biggest challenge I have faced with my trading is impatience. But I’m trying to beat it and hope to get better day by day.

What is your exact strategy and time frame?

My strategy is the Gann technique and Murrey Math analysis. I’m using 4 hour timeframes. But I also look at larger and smaller timeframes before trading. In fact, there was something I noticed yesterday. My technique is quite successful on 4-hour timeframes. Of course, I occasionally have a stop loss. In smaller timeframes, the stop loss increases as it counts. But if I had traded according to 1-day timeframes, both my number of transactions would decrease and I would continue with 100% success without any stop loss. There is only one problem here. I can log in according to 1-day timeframes or weekly timeframes. But I use an official system for trading and the system I use has high collateral rates for trading. The free collateral remaining in my balance after the collateral is not sufficient. In other words, when I log in according to the 1-day time frame, success comes one way or another, but my balance may be insufficient during the ups and downs that occur during this period. Also, I have insufficient knowledge about trend tracking in terms of entry and exit points. That’s why I’m currently reading your book, The Trend Follower. I think it will be useful.

Stop Gann now. It’s a scam. It’s bullshit.

Hello Michael,

The biggest challenge I face with trading is, timing the entries. I get kicked out of the market, and then the trend goes as expected. Also, moving the stop Loss as the trade goes with the trend.

Thanks,
Yasaswi

It’s much 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.

See my FAQS.

Hello Michael,

My biggest challenge since COVID-19 has been short-lived trends. I trade equities, and I find trends only to see them end abruptly, soon after I’ve found them. Most recently, I’ve seen this with Hovnanian Enterprises (HOVN). The stock took off in January, and now is in decline apparently because of rapidly rising construction costs. Since COVID-19 started, there have been many sudden disruptions to trends. It’s been a bevy of black swans!

Best regards to you,
Brett

I see it more than that. A lot more. You need:

• Exact rules for how much money to bet on each trade.
