“Currently trying to use standard deviation and volume on the one minute time frame…”

Feedback in:

I’ve tested a bunch of strategies but, currently trying to use standard deviation and volume on the one minute time frame. That seems to be working at the moment. Prior, I had entries on the 5 min time frame which made me miss the beginning of the trade and then sometimes it would consolidate or reverse completely.

Walk away from that and buy me dinner as a thank you later.

“Risk small, admit being wrong fast, keep riding your success…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Hello Michael, I’m a [name] salesman in [Asia]. Last week I met one of my clients. He’s a multi-billionaire hedge fund manager who is about to convert his fund into a [structure]. I asked him what is one piece of advice he can attribute his investment success to. He said something along the lines of (I’m paraphrasing) “Risk small, admit being wrong fast, keep riding your success.” To be frank, I didn’t really grasp what he was referring to. It was too abstract. As a final piece of advice he told me to search for Michael Covel’s books and podcasts to get a better understanding. And this is how I found your email address. So I just personally wanted to say a massive thanks to you for all the material you’ve created. It’s been so, so, so eye opening. Thank you.

Thanks!

“My biggest challenge is what you referred to as the need to be right…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael, I’ve just read you Trend Following book and enjoyed it. My biggest challenge is what you referred to as the need to be right. I appreciate now that I must change this abs I know it’ll be a rewarding, albeit challenging, journey. I am interested in learning the how of identifying trends. In particular ideas around doing so. I believe that the reversal aspect of a trend will also be challenging but I am quite adapt at developing back tests and systems of rules. I just do not have a solid idea of how to find trends.

Thanks,

Rubens

It’s not about finding trends. 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.

If you have those 5 rules you will invariably ride trends, but you don’t just find trends.
