Hello Michael,

I came across you from the trend following advocate in my hometown Malaysia recently. I have since conducted reading and research on the issues of trend following and realize what I have been doing in my previous years of trading and investment journey has been futile. The biggest challenge I faced is to follow the trend. Instead, I keep going against the trend picking market tops and bottoms. I decided to purchase your book and happily receive the book today during this pandemic time. Hope I can find some inspiration from it. Thank You!

You are welcome!

My biggest challenge is getting into the market at the wrong time. It seems like as soon as I make an entry, the market flips on me. Ever since I’ve been reading your book I have realized that the trend is your friend. I’m learning that, if you have a bullish view on the market or an asset, an uptrend should confirm that bullish view and likewise, if you have a bearish view, then a downtrend should confirm that view. Reading your book and other material confirms this theory as a market has three movements, up, down, or sideways. So, now my challenge is going to be how to enter and how to exit a trend. Thank you, Mr. Covel.

Best,
M.

Start here.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the message, I did try to view the video but I have very poor internet comms where I am so it is not really possible (I’m offshore so it’s a shared satellite data link – not the best for streaming). But I am a fan. I have already read your Turtle Traders book and I have just ordered your most recent edition of the Trend Following: How to…. Which will be ready for me to read when I get home again. Thanks for your efforts to make the public aware of this technique, I am looking forward to making some money and maybe getting out of the offshore industry at last!

Cheers, [name]

Where are you with such a bad connection?

It’s offshore Azerbaijan, I’m on a boat in the Caspian. It’s oil and gas industry so I need to prepare myself for an alternative source of income – sooner rather than later.

Cheers, [name]

Life is a wild journey. You are living it!

It’s great to hear you say that fundamentals and technicals aren’t necessary. I totally agree. I haven’t read your books yet, but I did read [name], and it was a nice introduction to this way of trading. I’m also a graduate of FSU, but still live in Tallahassee. It’s a nice area to raise my children. Thanks for your videos and websites and books. I’m constantly learning and this is a topic that is truly unlike any other.

Chris

I miss when FSU was good in football…

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. My favorite part is the Bruce Lee quote you put in there about being like water. That is the mentality I am taking towards your teaching. I am a young kid who recently graduated from college and just started working. I do not have the money for the program yet, but when I do, I will certainly be purchasing it. In the meantime, I’m still reading Trend Following and listening to your podcast. I WANT TO WIN. Have a good one, Michael.

Best,

C.

We all want to win, but…
