“The biggest challenge I have faced is: starting to trade in the first place. I lack confidence in my ability to value a market…”

Hi Michael,

The biggest challenge I have faced is: starting to trade in the first place. I lack confidence in my ability to value a market which in turn means that I end up sitting on the side-lines. Trend following is appealing to me as I don’t need to be able to value a market – I need to be able to identify a trend. Valuations are as much art as they are science whereas identifying a trend relies on cold hard facts – price action. The systematic approach required to be able to identify and trade these trends is what appeals to me.

Kind regards,

Bashaar G

“I want to implement a trend following in my portfolio using a 200-day MA…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

I do not understand why trend following is not a usual part of a portfolio. Investment advisors generally refer to the mix of stocks and bonds and make no reference to trend following. I want to implement a (passive) trend following in my portfolio, using a 200-day MA. However, I do not know how big this part of a portfolio should be.

Many thanks,
Andy

1. Brokers/Wall Street make big fees from wild promises. That’s why.

2. There is no one size fits all answer for what percentage trend following should be in your portfolio.

“For me being very small player the biggest challenge is to digest all those information and then to take the position…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

As of now my quest is to consider trading as business. Until now, for me stock market is for investment and parking lot for the wealth. Now, I wish to start using stock market as wealth creation. I do not trade anything other than equity. The peculiarity of equity market is although all stocks are quite different yet broadly they follow market trend. To be very precise when trend is bearish all stocks fall. For me, being very small player the biggest challenge is to digest all those information and then to take the position.

Thanks
Manish

Feedback in:

I always second guess myself. I see definite set up and I know the market is going to do what I think it’s going to do and I either don’t pull the trigger or I get in the trade and get out too soon. Then I see all the pips I could’ve had.

I see many issues in your strategy and understanding. It will never work as you describe. 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.
