Hi Michael,

I’m reading your book now. I have been trading fake money on a virtual stock app since the start of the pandemic in the US. Of course my fake money doubled and I want to see what I can do with real money. I’m most concerned about the right time to enter the market. There’s prediction that with a change in government the market is going to bust. Your insights and expertise have been so helpful.

S.

I see it more than when to enter. A lot more. 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 too.

Hi Michael,

I have just finished your Trend Following book and thoroughly enjoyed it! As a Mathematical Economics major I love working with patterns and love studying the markets.

The most significant challenge I have faced with trading is having a consistently profitable strategy that beats the market even after taxes. I definitely agree that Trend Following is the way to go with trading. Even before I read your book I was convinced that there is a way to make a lot of money that does not involve blindly putting your money into an Index or having to day trade. Therefore my biggest struggle is developing a system that is consistently profitable.

Thank you for the great book!

Chris J

Thanks for the nice words, but consistently profitable is not the path. Consistent is not how markets work. Trend following benefits by accepting the reality of inconsistency.

Hello Michael,

My biggest challenge is having the confidence to start and believe I can be successful at this. I am in week 4 of an online stock and futures trading course and I’m a bit frustrated that I’m struggling to understand it all; ie Elliot Waves, Fib extensions/retracements, etc. I’m fairly accomplished in my current carrier and I feel the skill set is similar to what I have done in my current job. I think I just need to have patience and work through the frustration until it clicks. I just purchased the audio version of your book, The Complete Turtle Trader, and looking forward to listening to it as well as reviewing the TurtleTrader website.

Regards,
Luis D

“Elliot Waves, Fib extensions/retracements”

Those three things will leave you broke. Like dead broke. Guaranteed.

An alternative is here.

Mr. Covel,

Morning! I’ve recently began my journey into the trading world by following Ian Dunlap. He recommended your book Trend Following as 1 of 4 recommended books to read. My biggest challenge so far is the tremendous amount of information/noise out there and trying to decipher what’s real or not. This has kept me from jumping in the past. I’m now older and feel ready to commit and have the discipline to learn and execute. I look forward to learning from you.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,
Jay

#trendfollowing is a path.

I have enjoyed your podcasts for quite some time. I’m an engineer and trader about to retire from the former and go full-time into the latter. I did run an investment advisory business for several years on the side but hung that up because my kids forgot what I looked like I was working so much. But, going back in as my focus soon…mainly as an equity analyst now. Anyway, your recent podcast that featured Ed Seykota was fantastic. It so clearly stated my approach to many things, especially the situation we find ourselves in now with the pandemic and recent political riots, that I shared it with my wife and kids. I have taken on the same tact that Ed has. hese events are part of a transition. Let’s adapt accordingly. It’s really a freeing philosophy and a very healthy attitude. Thanks for the excellent interviews you do on your podcasts. Here’s wishing you a great 2021…Let’s make money!

Dave

Yes, let’s make money!
