Good evening Michael,

Thank you so much for your inspirational life and your work. As a derivatives trader in an Investment Bank and as ex-PM in a HF, I have listened to your podcast for years. You mentioned in your last podcast, about receiving at a discount price your advanced ’trend following’ work and advice. I am indeed very much interested to start building a proper platform to systematized and improve my alphas as I would like to go back to the HF world better equipped than I was before. Thank you very much. Have an amazing end of 2020 and a happy new year 2021.

Kind regards,

FX L

Thanks for the great feedback.

Hi,

Let me start with a short story. 2 years ago, I decided that I was going to be a doctor. At that time my parents who are my biggest supporter told me that they will support me through my studies. At that time I just finished reading the book: “Rich dad poor dad”, which made me realize 2 things: my parents won’t be able to support me and my 4 brothers and I won’t be able to lead the life I want to; by just relying on my parents for that I need to find a way of making money, more money. This then leads me to google ways of making money. I found: real estate, investing, Amazon Fba and Online trading. I decided to go with Online trading, mostly because I am sort of an introvert and also it is something that depended mostly on me, at least I thought. Fast forward 2 years after I am still at the same level, except maybe for the fact that I now know that trading is actually not that easy. Mostly because so far I haven’t found a course or a youtube video that explains how it works, in real life. Right now, I am still an undergrad student in Peterborough, Canada, and I decided that it is time to start trading. To answer your question, my biggest challenge is finding someone or a website that would teach me how to trade effectively.

I hope it’s not too much.

Johan

“[My challenge is] finding a good scalping strategy on any minute time frame.”

Two things:

1. That’s gambling.
2. You’ll never win that way. Guaranteed.

Hello Michael,

I listened to you on The Derivative podcast by Jeff Malec and quickly found your podcasts on trend following. I purchased your book, Trend Following, on Amazon, and it was just delivered today. I love your podcasts. Ironically, before I ever heard about you, I purchased the Vaneck Vectors VNM ETF. I am bullish on Asia. I especially loved your interview with Peter Mallouk.

Be well,

Richard L.

Thanks.

Inertia, failure to act on conviction. I’ve recognized quite of few money makers, but didn’t pounce when I knew I should. Apple. Wanted to buy at $97 now over $250 taking into account the stock split. McDonald’s. Wanted to buy 1,000 shares at $12 didn’t now over $200. Knew it was under-priced at time. Google, knew it was can’t miss stock. Didn’t buy it failed to act. Tesla, asleep! Microsoft. Held long time when stagnant, then sold exactly at the wrong time and it’s flying now after I sold position. Exxon still have it. It’s a dinosaur, doomed. Should have exited it sooner. GE still have it watched it lose 50% of value. Another dinosaur company. Bloated with too many far flushed enterprises, bloated executives, debt balloon.

That sounds like a drunken casino strategy. Start here for a different way of thinking.
