Hi Michael,

Every time when I buy or sell something (long/short) the price is going in the opposite direction. If I do nothing, buy or sell something, just think about it, the price is going in that direction I guess. At the beginning it seems like this, that’s why my biggest challenge is to learn to be patient.

Best regards
Ozgur

Let me be blunt. 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.

I have been thinking a lot about your podcast about Purpose, Audacity and Sleep. It led me to say why not write Michael and share how much his podcast means to me. Here is the Audacity of my reaching out. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2019 and for some reason I thought it would be good to learn to trade then. Lets says its didn’t go great but wasn’t as bad as watching your parent die. I found trading to help me stay alive mentally. I came across your books, read them and continue to use that knowledge everyday. My wife and I found out we we were to have out 1st daughter the day after my fathers funeral. April 2020 rolls around we have a baby in a pandemic. Then My wife is diagnosed with the same lung cancer as my dad and my mom (who we got married in hospice for. My wife is 35 and has a terminal illness and is just the kindest person on the planet. Needless to say life has been relentless.Thank you for the effort you put in and I hope you know it doesn’t go unnoticed. The Best Alec

Thanks. Best of luck. Hang in there.

Hello,

First of all, congratulations on your books, they are very inspiring. As for your question, the biggest challenge has been to identify assets that develop a trend in order to take advantage of movements of long duration and intensity. I managed to build a strategy with Heiken Ashi on the EURUSD that started to pay off before Covid-19 (2019), but I got back to the same point where I started 6 months later. I have been doing operations in currencies, indices and oil for 7 years without fruit so far. I use CFDs instead of futures, I have a very small account. I recently began to review shares of beverage and biotechnology companies and I would like to have an approach that allows me to identify the sectors that are going to be developed in the future.

Thank you very much for your attention. Greetings from Colombia.

Thanks for the nice words. I might sound like a broken record, but trend following is this:

• 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.

Think about how different that is than what you want.

Thanks for your email, my biggest challenge is I like to trade hourly to a maximum of 4 hour charts. However from what I have read in your book trend following its almost long term all the way.

The hourly trading is a dead end.

My biggest challenge is sitting through pullbacks. I want to sell into strength but, as a rule, don’t.

Jack G

Pull backs = not viable strategy. 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’m a new trader and I’m struggling with defining a system to trade. I’m struggling defining exactly what I need to test. I’m interested in your training programs because I can test a pre-defined program. I’m trying to decide between your turtle trader program and the flagship program. Do you have a recommendation for a starting program?

95% of my clients go Flagship. You will have a plan. All rules. And my support.
