Hi Michael, I hope you don’t mind me messaging. I just finished listening to The Complete TurtleTrader. And I really enjoyed it from a story and inspiration perspective. And I’ll go back to the chapter on the system in the future when I’m ready. Going to get your other audio book next. I love your passion for mastery. And your doggedness in pursuing the story, despite the many obstacles.

Thanks! More here.

Hi Michael,

To answer your question the biggest challenge I have faced thus far with my trading is how to effectively scan markets to identify prospects that may begin to trend. I have been able to identify entries and exits well thus far, improvement will come with more experience, but the prospect identification aspect I have struggled with.

Thanks,
Steven

You need a tracking portfolio. You don’t trade all markets. Start here and here.

Hi Michael,

First of all, let me start by saying thank you!

Your podcast and books are amazing and have opened my eyes to a whole new world of trading.

I have always known that there are trends in markets and I have never believed in the efficient market theory. My biggest challenges have been confirming the trend and also my exits, I often exit way too early and then watch the action continue.

I’ll stop there before I ramble on, thanks again and I look forward to the content.

Regards,
Kyle M.

Hello Mr. Michael,

I am glad that I found your website and immediately bought the Polish version of one of your books — “trend following“. I am interested in the financial markets, but 2 years later I am still looking for a strategy that suits me. A method that would allow me to earn a steady income (small percentage but stable). Perhaps your blog, recordings will help me focus. I got interested in the turtles some time ago after reading [name] book. It made me think about speculation. So once again I’m glad that I found your website.

Best wishes

Welcome! Read up on trend following here.

Ok, I’ll give it a shot.

The biggest change in my mindset has been: I don’t have to like anything I trade. For all intents and purposes I could loathe every company, commodity, or currency. It’s all about is it trending, and how can I jump in and out to profit from it. That’s huge, I don’t have to understand the instruments… I don’t have to like them, I’m just riding the price action. That is the really taking the “self” out of the equation.

Thanks!
S. Anderson
